KPop Demon Hunters quotes

Celine
[narration]

The world will know you as pop stars, but you will be much more than that. You will be Hunters. Demons have always haunted our world, stealing our souls and channeling strength back to their king, Gwi-Ma. Until heroes arose to defend us. Born with voices that could drive back the darkness. Singing songs of courage and hope. But Hunters are more than warriors. Our music ignites the soul and brings people together. With this connection, the first Hunters created a shield to protect our world, the Honmoon. Every generation, a new trio of Hunters is chosen to fulfill our ultimate duty. A barrier so strong it is impenetrable, that will keep demons and Gwi-Ma from our world forever, the Golden Honmoon. And now, that duty falls to you. That victory is within your reach. It is your voices, your song, that will create the Golden Honmoon.

HUNTR/X

Yes, Celine.

Mira and Zoey
[chanting as they bring the food in]

Couch! Couch! Couch! [relax on the couch] Couch!

Zoey
[relaxed]

Oh, yeah. That's the stuff. Yeah.

Mira
[relaxed]

So relaxing.

Zoey

What? [angrily] Cheater! Did she!

Mira

Did too!

Zoey

Did she!

Mira

Did, too!

Zoey

Did she!

Mira

Lies, dog fights!
[Mira and Zoey look eachother angrily.] [Rumi rises up from behind the couch.]

Mira

Yep, making them hotter.

Bobby

Backup dancers, ready to go.

Rumi

We'll write a brand-new song. A diss track to expose the Saja Boys.

Zoey

And send those disgusting demons back to the depths where they belong!

Mira

Yeah!

Zoey
[excited]

YEAH!

Mira
[so excited]

YEAHHHHH!

Zoey
[super excited]

Yeah!

Rumi
[The two stopped making battle cries when Rumi stared at them.] [excited]

YEAHHH!

HUNTR/X

YEAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Zoey
[Rumi, Zoey and Mira charge off to attack.]

We're gonna kick their ass butts!

Bobby

That's my girls! Not sure about this whole demon thing. I mean, they seem like nice people — but loving the energy!

Rumi
[confronting Jinu]

Say you didn't do this. [he snaps his fingers, revealing the Mira and Zoey who attacked and humiliated her on stage were demons. Rumi angrily shoves him] How could you do this?!

Jinu

It was all a lie.

Rumi

It was real! What we had was real, I know it was!

Jinu

The things I said? I just needed you to trust me, that's all. [he turns to leave, but Rumi grabs his arm]

Rumi

No! No, I know your story. You were a good person, and you still are. You just made a mistake.

Jinu
[angrily]

I left them! [Rumi recoils from him in horror] That's right, I lied to you. I only made a deal with Gwi-Ma to get myself out of that miserable life! [Jinu flashes back to his human past, remembering his mother and sister being turned away at the palace gates, and hiding his guilt from his fellow courtiers] I left my sister, my mother, alone, while I slept on silk sheets in the palace with my belly full every night [anger turns to sadness and his voice breaking] I left them. I left them...

Rumi
[voice breaking]

But that's not all you are. This is just your demon talking. You have to fight it!

Jinu

That's NOT how it works!

Rumi
[demonic voice]

YES, IT IS! [the Honmoon reverberates, much to her horror]

Jinu

Listen to yourself. Is it working? You're a demon, just like me. All we get to do is live with our pain, our misery... That's all we deserve.

Rumi
[determined]

Okay, this is our biggest show yet.

Zoey
[determined]

The most songs.

Mira
[determined]

The most moves.

Rumi

Which means the most carb loading.

HUNTR/X
[in unison chorus]

FOR THE FANS!!!

Rumi
[They start eating their food, just unlike with predators devouring their prey.] [mouthfully]

I need 10,000 calories to get through the choreo.

Mira
[mouthfully]

A thousand percent. A gajillion percent.

Rumi
[mouthfully]

Mira, that's not even a real number.

Mira
[mouthfully]

It is for our fans.

Rumi
[smells a roll]

Ahhhhh! [as Zoey tears a bag of munchies apart to eat up] Our fans deserve the best. [pushes it into her mouth] Okay, time for our pre-game ramyeon!

HUNTR/X
[they lift up their cups]

Happy fans, happy Honmoon! [clink them together, with Ding! comic was shown.]

Zoey
[notices there's no water in them]

Wait, there's no water in these.

Rumi
[grinning while crouched behind the couch]

Hey! Stop quarreling! Have a good break?

Mira
[confused]

Huh? What? But why?! No. We literally just sat… [Rumi stands up, revealing she's wearing her new costume] down.

Zoey
[quizzically]

Why are you in your new costume?

Mira and Zoey

Rumi, you didn't.

Mira
[worried]

Did you announce the new single?

Zoey

And the promo starts tomorrow...

Mira and Zoey
[horrified]

TONIGHT?!

Zoey
[A grinning Rumi shows the whining Mira and Zoey their own new costumes.] [whining]

Rumi, no!

Mira
[whining]

No-ho-ho-ho-ho-hoooooo!

Zoey

But what about the pajamas! But no. NO!

Mira and Zoey
[both wailing]

No!!

Bobby
[as he gets out of the elevator]

Girls, you won't believe this! [All three girls are in their new costumes]

Mira
[whining]

Bobby!

Zoey
[whining]

No more wewaxy time!!

Bobby

Your new single is on fire! Everyone's listening to it! [Zoey and Mira immediately perk up]

HUNTR/X

YAY!

Bobby

So let's go promo!

Rumi

What? How are you here? You were just on stage. That wasn't you? Oh. Oh, thank goodness. [looks down and saw it, the demon patterns. She gasped] No. No No! No!

Zoey

...How do you have patterns?

Rumi

These were supposed to be gone. You were never supposed to see!

Mira

You were hiding this from us this whole time?

Rumi

No, I-I have a plan to erase them. Jinu was supposed to... I... He was–

Zoey
[betrayed]

Jinu? You're working with him?

Rumi

No! No, no, I was using him to fix all this! To fix me! So we can all do our duty! We could all be strong! Be together!

Zoey

How could we be together, if we can't tell your lies from your truths, Rumi!?

Mira
[sniffles]

I knew it. I knew it was too good to be true.

Rumi

Mira, no! Didn’t you see? See the gold? We're so close! [Mira and Zoey step back away from her] No, don't leave! Don't leave! I can still [demonic voice] FIX IT!

Rumi
[The Honmoon reverberates, causing Mira and Zoey to look at Rumi in horror, who also reacts in horror at what she just did, before Mira raises her gok-do. Zoey whimpers, fighting back her tears.] [tearfully pleading]

Zoey, please...
[Zoey says nothing, as she draws two of her knives with a cold expression. Rumi finally breaks down and runs away crying. The moment she is gone, Zoey and Mira lower their weapons, distraught]

Stewardess

Please take your seat.

Rumi

Yeah. We don't have time. She's a beast, right?

Stewardess

W-what do you mean?

Rumi

You're smiling all weird, watering plants with coffee, and those guys? Come on.

Zoey

Okay, how do we handle this? What do we tell the fans? Maybe we should call Celine?

Mira

We know what she'd say, Zoey.

Zoey

Oh, right. [Clears her throat] "We have are Hunters. (speaks with Mira) Voices are strong. Your faults and fears must never be seen."

Mira

Whoa. You sound exactly like her.

Zoey

Yeah, that's how she says it.

Mira

No. We gotta hide it and fix it.

Zoey

For sure. We have to hide it. Mm-hm. Rumi, why don't we take a break? We'll skip the Idol Awards this year and...

Rumi

No. No way. It's our most important show. It's when we strengthen the Honmoon for the entire year. We can't skip it. We just can't. Not when I'm so close. These... I think was these demon guys sound like real beastly monsters.

Zoey

Hey, we'll get through this. We can get through anything. Together. Which is Taotie, Qiongqi, Hundun, Taowu and Bai Ze are where put in the jail on abandoned zoo.

Mira

Okay. We have two weeks to fix Rumi's voice. Any ideas?

Zoey

I do have one idea.

Zoey

Wait, why are you looking at me?

Healer Han

Eagerness to please. Maybe a little too eager.

Zoey

What? [laughs.] I'm not like that. You'd tell me if I was like that, right?

Healer Han
[He then looks at Mira.]

Hm... I see...

Mira
[Mira stares at Healer Han and she went unleashed her angry mode, then scares him with lion roar sound effects, causing him to flinch back with puppy dog eyes.]

Yeah, that's right.

Rumi

How does this help me get my voice back?

Gwi-Ma
[Gwi-Ma berates one of his demon servants after a failed attempt to kill Huntr/x]

Let me guess. They got away again?

Demon
[fearfully]

The Hunters, they're too strong.

Gwi-Ma

I understand.

Demon
[hopefully]

You do?

Gwi-Ma

I understand you are WEAK! [Gwi-Ma incinerates the demon, making the others quail in fear] Pathetic! Useless! All of you! Don't you idiots know once the Hunters turn the Honmoon golden, it's over for us?! [as the demons cringe, one begins playing a bipa atop a hongsalmun, drawing their attention]

Jinu

There once was a mighty demon king, stop me if you've heard this one before. He was in total control, he feasted on souls, the world trembled when he roared. [floats down and walks towards Gwi-Ma's throne, the crowd of demons parting for him] But then some Hunters sang some songs, now all he does is starve. Can't get at the souls, and his flame grows cold, just a whisper in the dark. [singing] And will he let the fire go out? Is this the end of him now? Dying king with a crumbling crown, will he let the fire go out? [Jinu stops before Gwi-Ma]

Gwi-Ma
[angered]

I let you keep that voice, Jinu, and you dare to mock me with it?! [Jinu and four other demons approach Gwi-Ma]

Jinu

I'm not here to mock you. I'm here to help you. It's time for a new strategy. We fight the Hunters where they least expect it. Go after the very thing that powers the Honmoon. The fans. [the demons pose like a boy band]

Gwi-Ma
[scornful]

A demon boy band? [he cackles in derision; the other demons laugh nervously] What makes you think that could work? [Jinu snaps his fingers, creating a glamour that makes him and his fellow demons look like handsome KPop idols]

Demon 1

Yeah, that's totally gonna work.

Demon 2

Yeah, 100%.

Gwi-Ma
[suspicious]

Okay. I know you, Jinu. In over four hundred years, you've never done a single thing that didn't serve yourself. What do you want? [Jinu has a flashback to his human life]

Jinu

The memories. I want them erased.

Mira
[Huntr/x are annoyed at realizing their plane's been hijacked by demons posing as flight attendants] [terrible angrily]

Ugh, I didn't even get to finish my ramyeon!

Rumi
[angered]

Why do they always interrupt our snacking?!

Zoey
[garbled through a mouthful of chips]

THEY WILL FACE MY WRATH!!!

Celine
[Meanwhile in Jeju, Celine is horrified of what was happening. She felt a presence nearby. She pointed her weapon, only to see that it was Rumi, exposed by the glowing purple patterns and glowing gold eye.] [realized]

Rumi?

Rumi

I thought I can fix it all. Fix me. But I ran out of time. They saw. They know. There's no denying it. This is what I am!

Celine

Rumi, no!

Rumi

You knew I was a mistake from the very start. [sinks to her knees to draw her four tiger sword] Do what you should've done a long time ago. Before I destroy what I swore to protect. Please... [demonic voice] DO IT!

Mira/Rumi
[Zoey and Bobby dancing to "Macarena (Spanish Musical)" on his phone, much to the annoyance of Rumi and Mira]

Bobby!/Zoey!

Mira

Control those shoulders.
[Zoey and Bobby then stopped. Bobby turned off his phone]
