Halloweentown Page #5

She's found the brooms,

Cool, Flying brooms, Wow,

Well, Marnie,

Oh, Grandma, look at these things!

Yes, they are a bit more snazzier

than when I was a girl,

Can I get one, please?

Please, Grandma? Please?

Yes, well, it is the rite of passage

for witches your age,

Yes!

Well, it looks like you got your eye

on our WindSweeper 5000,

- Is that a good one?

- Well, let's see here,

Unibody construction, Whoo!

Chrome detailing,

A microchip directional system,

Well, it's the top of the line!

If you think you can handle it,

Oh, handle it, This is a Cromwell

you're talking to, dear,

She'll be an expert in no time,

Check it out,

Well, um, how do you make it go?

Oh, you know, by magic,

Oh, right,

I knew that,

How sweet, Buying little Marlie here

her first broom, huh?

It's Marnie,

This is a local boy, Luke,

Hey, don't sell me

too short there, Grammy,

I'm something of a big cheese around here,

Maybe I could show you around sometime,

Buy you an ice cream,

The Abominable Snowman

has a little shop down the street,

You know, I was kind of hungry,

but then,,, I smelled something stinky,

It must have been the big cheese,

Perhaps another time,

Yeah, like never,

You know, if you people were smart,

you'd be nice to me,

I'm friends with some very powerful

creatures around here, you know,,,

Oh, that Luke dude -

he's turned into such a wiener,

All right, now,

If you want to be totally rad,,,

you've got to have the Day-Glo bristles,

Now, the Purple Dragonfly here -

it's awesome,

But I prefer the metallic blue myself,

Uh, this one, It's perfect,

Can I get it, Grandma? Please?

Well, you want me to wrap that up for you?

No! We'll fly it out,

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

(laughter)

Whoa!

Grandma, this is so totally cool,

Well, there's a reason

why witches don't drive minivans!

- Well, how does magic make it go?

- Magic is really very simple,

All you have to do is want something,

and then let yourself have it!

Hang on tight,

Let's see what this can do,

- Ooh!

- Whoa!

Yee-hoo!

- What a witch's life it is,

- Yeah!

Hi, guys,

Whoa, Whoo!

- Watch that curb,

- Yay, Grandma, Me next, me next,

- You next, you next,

- I don't think so,

Mommy!

Oh, I'm sorry if we worried you, dear,

I was gonna get them back

just as soon as I possibly felt that I could,,,

Mother, I cannot believe that you

brought them here in the first place,

But I didn't,

They came to see me,

I wanted to help Grandma

fight the bad thing,

- And I came to get my training,

- Training?

And I tried to stop 'em, Mom,

but they hypnotized me,

- And I thought you were brave,

- Hey, this is Mom,

Stop it,

I don't want to hear any more excuses,

I want you all just to get back on that bus,

because we are going home,

But, Mom, Grandma needs help,

And since you won't help her, she needs

the only other Cromwell witch there is - me,

- You are not a witch,

- Oh, yes, I am, no thanks to you,

You were gonna let my powers

go away forever,

Marnie, there is so much more

involved in this than you understand,

I understand that I am here,

And I've got a broom,

and I'm gonna learn everything

that Grandma can teach me,

- You will not!

- It's her birthright!

She was born in the human world

and human is what she'll be,

No, I won't,

You put that broom down right now,

young lady, You are grounded,

Say goodbye to Grandma, everybody,

It's time for us to go home,

(sighs)

Bye, Grandma,

- Come on,

- Bye,

Marnie?

Thanks, Grandma,

It was a great ride,

Come here, sweetie,

- There's nothing wrong with my tie!

- Look at it,,,

I can't look at it without taking my head off!

I'm never talking to you again, you know,

Excuse me,

I'm so sick of you drinking all this caffeine,

You're giving me a headache,

- Excuse me,

- It's upsetting my stomach, I'm tired of this,

- You don't even know which hand,,, Ow!

- Excuse me, Excuse me,

- (both) What?!

- Excuse me,

Will you please tell me what time

the next bus leaves to the Mortal World?

- The bus?

- Which bus?

- Mortal World?

- Isn't that the number six?

- That's the only one we've got,

- Hey, hey, That's my espresso,

- No, no, Hey,,,

- And I'm never going to school again!

And I'm gonna move someplace

really far away and join a motorcycle gang,

Marnie, this is not our world,

Now drop it,

(men arguing)

- Excuse me,

- I'm on break!

Well, it used to be your world,

Are you gonna get tired of us too?

"Oh, sorry, Those aren't my kids,"

"They used to be my kids,

but I've moved on,"

- Marnie, not now,

- You have the schedule,

I don't have the schedule, Why do I

have to do everything around here?

- Excuse me, What about the bus?

- (overlapping) itll be several hours,

- Engine trouble, Yeah, that's it,

- Scheduling problems,

itll be fine,

Don't worry about a thing,

Well, what do you know?

The bus isn't running!

- I guess we can't leave after all,

- Yay!

- What time is it?

- There must be some way,

Hey, the mayor seems like a nice guy,

Maybe he would know,

- Dylan!

- Ow,

That's a very good idea,

Let's go,

I don't care if the bus is coming,

That's not our job, My job is to sell tickets,

What do you know about it?

There you go with the caffeine again!

- What's wrong with the caffeine?

- You're killing me!

(bell tolling)

(cawing)

Someone here to see ya, boss,

(wolf whistle)

Gah!

Gwen!

Calabar!

You're the mayor?

(Gwen laughs)

Well, I'm,,, Yes,

- You didn't hear about the election?

- No,

It's just a title, really,

I have big plans for all of us

here in Halloweentown,

You are the last person

I ever expected to see here,

It's been a long time, huh?

(Gwen gasps)

You always did let your magic

do the talking, Thank you,

You used to like it,

Or have you forgotten that part?

Uh, no,

- What's goin' on here?

- I have no idea,

You know, I always hoped

you'd come back, Now here you are,

Say, I ought to show you around,

We could take the Styx river cruise,

Have a little dinner, Then I could show you

all our old haunts, eh?

Um, actually, I'm trying to leave,

Uh,,,

It seems the bus was delayed,

and I was hoping that the,,,

You were hoping

the mayor could help you out,

I'm sorry,

(grunting)

Excuse me, sir, Miss Sticky here,

I'll get right to the point,

Have a very urgent message, Ooh!

Somebody's on pins and needles! (laughs)

Pins and needles, (cackles)

Ooh-hoo!

(Calabar sighs)

This is an emergency,

Won't take long,

Just stay put,

I'll see what I can do for you when I return,

Thank you,

Kids,

What was that all about?

Well, obviously he's Mom's old boyfriend,

Marnie!

I guess you like magic

when he does it, huh?

That's enough,

Oh, and if you marry him,

I am not calling him "Dad,"

I'm not marrying anyone, and this

discussion is over, We are going home,

- (sighs)

- Go away, Luke, I'm not in the mood,

Family trouble, huh, Grammy?

Guess it's just you again,

You know, it must get pretty frustrating,

fighting this thing all alone,
