Halloweentown

Aggie Cromwell:
Being normal is vastly overrated.

Marnie Cromwell:
I'm getting that deja veiw feeling again!

Dylan Cromwell:
You knew I was going to put on my shoe?

Marnie Cromwell:
No!

Aggie Cromwell:
Leftovers.

Aggie Cromwell:
You should know better!

Sophie 'Soapy' Cromwell:
I wanna help you fight the bad thing!

Aggie Cromwell:
Bubble, bubble, toil, and truble.

Marnie:
[sorting through the presents Aggie brought them] Hieroglyphics!

Gwen:
[to Aggie] Mother!

Marnie:
You know, these look like the ones from the Egyptian book of the dead!

Gwen:
I'm just trying to protect you.

Marnie:
Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables. [sits down] Hey look! I'm a potato, are you happy now? Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet [mockingly] Oh no Marie, it's too dangerous! There're things about vegetables that YOU don't understand.

Gwen:
You are not a witch.

Marnie:
Oh, yes, I am, no thanks to you. You were going to let my powers go away forever.

Dylan:
Why can't you find a more normal holiday to get hung up on? Like... Arbor Day! Trees are important too, you know.

Marnie:
[rolls her eyes] Halloween is cool, nature boy, it's ancient, it's strange, and, besides, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.

Dylan:
Shhh! What're you doing? You know talking about Dad always bugs Mom out.

Marnie:
A pentagram. Lon Chaney had one of these on his hand when he was bit by that werewolf.

Aggie:
I've always said that the movies could teach us so much.

Luke:
Maybe we could go out for an ice cream. I know my way around town. I'm kinda like the big cheese here.

Marnie:
I was hungry, but then I smelled something stinky... it must have been the Big Cheese!

Gwen:
You can't go out tonight.

Marnie:
Why?

Gwen:
I have my reasons and I will explain them to you when you're taller.

Marnie:
Mom, you've been saying that for like my whole life. It's just one night, what's the big deal?

Dylan:
Why are you so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like Mom says: It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic. Like that helps them prepare for life. Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day.

Marnie:
[sarcastically] Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.

Dylan:
Shh! What are you trying to do? You know how talking about Dad always bums Mom out, I mean, why can't you pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like Arbor Day? Trees are important too, you know.

Marnie:
Grandma, it was Kalabar.

Gwen:
What?

[On the stairs leading to the City Hall, Kalabar stands up and stares at the Cromwells. Aggie angrily points at him]

Aggie:
So it was you!

[Gwen gently pushes Sophie aside as she glares at Kalabar]

Gwen:
Why, Kalabar?

Kalabar:
You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. And you could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead!

Marnie:
Well, it turns out she was a pretty good judge of character.

Aggie:
Your days of rule are at an end, Kalabar.

[Kalabar waves a finger]

Kalabar:
Don't underestimate me, Agatha. Ha!

[Kalabar summons the talisman from inside the statue and catches it as he laughs maniacally]

Kalabar:
Now my darkness will spread unchecked and I'll be the ruler of both worlds!

[Kalabar laughs maniacally again as Aggie pulls out her wand and chants a spell to the talisman, followed by Gwen who holds her hand]

Kalabar:
Don't waste your energies, witches! Your precious talisman is nothing more…

[Dylan glares at Kalabar]

Dylan:
Man, that jerk! I'd like to… I'd like to…

[Marnie looks down to see blue light glowing from her brother's fingers as Kalabar laughs offscreen]

Marnie:
Dylan!

Dylan:
What?

Marnie:
It looks like we've added another witch to the family. Or should I say warlock.

Kalabar:
…like a dark shadow…

[Dylan looks at his glowing fingers]

Dylan:
No way! I don't have any powers, I'm a normal one in the family.

[Marnie looks at Kalabar]

Marnie:
Hey, Chocolate Bar! You better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble!

Kalabar:
You half-human brat! Do you think your magic is any match for mine?

Marnie:
Hmm, no. But let's see my powers and my mom's, my grandmother's, my sister's, and my brother's might do it. Hit it, guys.

[Holding their hands, the Cromwells, except Dylan, close their eyes and hum. Kalabar laughs when he sees nothing happening to the talisman still in his hands]

Kalabar:
Silly witches, you Cromwells have failed!

[Opening her eyes, Marnie looks at Dylan]

Marnie:
[whispering] Come on, Dylan, we need you. Believe.

[Sophie opens her hand for Dylan, who takes it. They continue to hum as light shines brightly from the orb on the talisman in Kalabar's hands]

Kalabar:
No! No!

[The orb's light glows more]

Kalabar:
No!!!!!

[The light engulfs Kalabar who disappears as the talisman flies back into Aggie's hand]

Aggie:
Oh! The talisman!

[The citizens cheer and the Cromwell kids jump in celebration]

Gwen:
You always did let your magic do the talking.

Kalabar:
You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. You could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead.
