Maybe it was the adrenaline from almost dying in the vents, or the fear of fake (but still very melting) lava oozing from the fake Pompeii volcano display that prompted Octavius to confess his feelings to Jedediah. Maybe it was the toxins in the air from the cheap, fake lava? Maybe it was because they were miniature wax figures that would melt eventually?

"Jedediah, from the moment we came to life all those years ago," He grabbed the cowboys shoulders so he'd actually look at him. This would be tough to confess to (finally, after three damn movies). "Not a moment has passed with you entering my mind. You've shown me a life beyond my comprehension,-"

Technically, Octavius wasn't exaggerating. He'd literally didn't know about cowboys before starting a rivalry with Jedediah...and he didn't know what love was until he'd been his bestfriend...He'd have to thank Larry for bringing them together. If they survived.

"You've taken our little glass boxes and turned them into an infinite universe." Octavius sort of had to rush his words, as the lava inched toward the platform they were huddled on.

"I have been your enemy, friend, and partner. I would be honored if you would call me yours into eternity." Octavius was a bit of a dramatic man for a miniature wax statue.
