Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie

Justin, I found your bag.

Mind if I tear through it and look at all your personal stuff?

OK, thanks!

No way!

- Ju... Justin! -

- -

What is going on? Is everyone all right?

- Alex? -

Awesome! Dad, whatever it is can I keep it?

I knew it! Alex was going through my bag,

so I put a spell on it. Deny it now.

Of course. An enchanted messenger bag.

How did we ever manage without one? Hmm.

But we're going to have a great...

- Do it. - Let's watch her run around.

Magic was used to protect the bag.

Reverse the spell, release the hag.

OK, fine. I went through your stupid bag.

- "Hag?" - Hmm.

But look at what I found.

The family wand and the book of forbidden spells.

Justin took it out of the lair without permission.

My respect for you is increasing.

I didn't take it. Dad gave it to me.

And it's shrinking again.

Dad, how could you give this to Justin? It's forbidden.

You said that we weren't allowed to touch it.

You said that we weren't ready.

I think by "we" he meant you.

Alex, if one day, possibly, you pass and/or show up

to an exam, you can use the spell book and the family wand, too.

It's just they're extremely powerful

and it takes a certain level of responsibility...

But I'm responsible enough. I can be trusted.

I think this is completely unfair to me and Max.

Right, Max?

Dude. Max!

Dude, you are so not helping right now.

And I'm so getting one of those!

Well, I don't really have an opinion

about the great wand whoop-de-do.

But if anybody should be playing nice right now, it's you.

- Don't push. We need to go, honey. - Yes, dear.

I'm going to need you to return the wand and spell book

back to where you found them. Thank you.

Fine. I don't even want it anyway.

Total lie.

Wait. Where's everybody going?

Oh. I want you guys done packing by the time we get back.

OK. Dude, this is going to be the best vacation ever.

Are there going to be volcanoes?

- No. - Then how great can it be?

- Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Russo. - Oh hey, Harper. That's...

Hey, wha... what's Harper doing here?

Oh, uh, right. Listen, I was thinking since

- you're packing for a trip I don't have to go on, I... - What did I just say to you?

Uh, when? All the way back there?

Don't push. I already told you, you can't go to that party.

It's all the way in Brooklyn. I don't know the girl's parents.

But Mom, everybody is going to this party.

That's true. They've handed out like a thousand fliers.

Why are you destroying my life?

Which is the same thing you said to me

when I tried to "force" you to go on vacation with us.

Well, it worked then.

Alex, honey...

I know that you're growing up and you want some independence

and I know that you're gonna be fine

at Harper's while we're gone.

But you have to understand that leaving you behind

is very hard for me.

So just go easy on me, OK?

Dad. Please. I'll just pop in. It'll be so...

- Uh, no popping. -

You heard what your mother said.

And just so we're clear...

no walking, flying, teleporting or popping

out of this building while we're gone.

- Is that understood? - Understood.

OK.

Sorry about that.

That's OK. We can still find something

super fun yet age-appropriate to do.

Oh no, we're still going.

But your parents said we can't leave the building.

Exactly.

For the record, I just want to say

I think this is a really, really bad idea.

Only if by bad you mean genius. I love loopholes.

- - Alex!

Can we slow this thing down?

Yeah, no. When they put the tables in

they must have taken the controls out.

But don't worry, it's enchanted and knows where it's going.

Then why are we heading uptown?

Forty-second.

Forty-ninth. Fifty-seventh.

Brooklyn's in the other direction

on the other side of the river.

Stupid spells. Hang on.

Oh, wait. My bad. I had the map upside down.

All right.

Misguided directions we shouldn't have taken.

Hurry up and get us to Bergen Street Station.

These forbidden spells are so super user-friendly.

- - Oh!

Forbidden spells?

Why would you use something called a forbidden spell?

It's forbidden and I know this

because it's right there in the title.

It's really not a big deal when you have the right wand.

Well, do you?

No. Apparently it's too powerful and I'm not responsible enough

and I can't be trusted, whatever that means.

- -

You go first! You go first!

Alex! Oh, my God!

- No! What are you... - Harper!

Seriously! Who designed this subway?

- -

I did it.

I can't believe I did it. I saved us.

I can't believe it.

No you didn't. I did.

Oh, Justin, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Harper, don't thank him.

He just did it so he can run off and tell on me.

OK, normally, yeah, I would do that.

- It's pretty funny when she gets all... -

But I'm not about to go tell Mom and Dad

something that's going to ruin their vacation before it happens.

I'm not gonna let you destroy something important to me.

They're not gonna hear it from me.

Know why they're not going to hear it from me?

Didn't we just have this conversation?

Because I just did my first spell using a full-powered wizard wand.

- And if I must say... - He must.

...It went perfectly. Oh.

Almost perfectly.

OK. Well... Bye.

I'm really sorry you can't stay with me anymore.

Oh! No. I was never really going to get to stay with you.

She's just been planning this all along.

And she's just using my innocent borrowing of the diner as an excuse.

You know that's not true. You love your mom.

I didn't say that I didn't. I just...

I just don't want to spend

two weeks in full-on family mode.

Are you guys going to wear matching outfits?

'Cause that would be bad.

One of these days I'm going to win the wizard competition

and I'm going to be the full wizard.

Well, what if you fall in love with a mortal

and have to give up your powers like your dad did?

I still can't believe he did that.

I can. I love that story. It sounds so romantic.

It was.

Do you need any help?

No. I most definitely do not need your help.

Well... Bye.

Fine. But one of these days

I just might not be there to offer it.

Mom.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

I know what you meant. Finish packing.

Done.

Undone. See what I just did there?

It's called lightening the mood.

I hope you got it out of your system

because I've declared this vacation magic-free.

Hand it over.

So I'm going to need your wands.

What? I can't give up my wand.

Dad, there are so many spells I haven't even gotten a chance to do yet.

Max.

Goats?

They were supposed to be tigers.

OK, if I give you my wand, I'll only be able to do hand magic.

The idea is no magic.

I can't just not do magic for two weeks.

We're going to the Caribbean.

That's one of the most magical places in the entire universe.

This is because of Alex, isn't it?

Justin. It's not always because of...

Well, OK, yes. Just give me the wand.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Give me the wand. - Give me the wand.

All right.

"Sticky note to self: Do not forget sticky notes." Ah!

OK, it's time, people! Everybody ready?

Ready!

Eh, who needs underwear?

Ready!

Ready!
