Halloweentown Page #6

no one believing you,

What do you know about that?

I know you've got Merlin's talisman,

And he wants it,

"He," Who is "he"?

Don't know, huh?

It's funny, because he knows all about you,

And about that brew

you were working on, too,

Well, if he's so powerful, why is he hiding?

Why doesn't he reveal himself?

You see, that's why I'm here,

He wants to reveal himself,,,

to you,

Come on, Grammy, admit it,

You're dying to know, right?

Or is the big, powerful

Cromwell witch afraid?

I don't fear him or any creature,

Take me to him,

But, Mom, I mean,

you can go home if you want to,

I mean, Sophie probably

doesn't belong here,

and Dylan thinks he's hallucinating

anyway, I'll be all right by myself,

Marnie, you're 13,

But all the other witches get to do

all kinds of stuff when they're 13,

Just because your grandmother said

that you're a witch doesn't make you one,

She didn't have to tell me,

I-I could feel it,

I am a witch, right? Right?

Shh,

So it's true!

I am a witch!

Well, how come I never knew?

All this weird stuff's been happening

to Sophie, Did that stuff happen to me?

Yes, Yes, you showed signs

of having the powers,

and I hid them from you,

just like I am doing with Sophie,

And I did it for you,

Because this is not your world,

Your father was human,

and that is the world that we live in,

Period,

Look, if you want to give up your roots,

that's fine, but I don't,

And it's not right for you

to try to make me,

Look, Grandma's going somewhere

with the wiener dude,

I gotta help Grandma,

Marnie, you get back here!

(sighs)

Guys, come on,

Why do the troublemakers

get all the attention?

(door hinges creaking)

(door slams shut)

Harriet?

(laughing)

Welcome to my museum,

(laughing)

So this is why so many have disappeared?

First you put them under an evil spell,

and then you turn them into statues,

No, not statues,

They're very much alive!

Merely frozen in time until I need them,

To do what?

To destroy our world?

Ah, I know you have Merlin's talisman,

Give it to me!

I do have the talisman,

And soon your hold over the creatures

of Halloweentown will be broken forever!

No, you foolish witch!

You think your magic

is more powerful than mine?

Yeah, as if that could happen,

There is nothing you can do to stop me!

Zip, nada, zero, goose eggs,

I will bend the creatures of this world

to my will, one by one,

Two by two and three by three,

Will you shut up?!

Sorry,

Give me the talisman!

Never!

Then suffer the consequences,

No!

No, You said she'd be safe,

You cannot escape me, old woman,

The creature hasn't been born

that's quick enough to catch a Cromwell!

- Mother?

- Grandma?

- Get them!

- That's it,

- Leave my family alone!

- I'm out of here,

Wastrel youth of benighted hours,

be thee vanquished by my powers!

Hm?

I said "powers," not "flowers,"

Way to go, Mom!

This is your last chance,

Give me the talisman,

Never!

Keep your brother and sister back!

Mom!

(panting)

Gwen!

Sleep now, Agatha Cromwell,

and when you awake, I will be your master,

No!

- Come on!

- We've got to save them!

We can't save them unless

we save ourselves first, Come on,

Argh!

- Marnie,,,

- Grandma!

We'll be all right, Go!

It's just an evil spell that freezes us,

Go!

Marnie, let's go,

Ugh,

What are we doing?

We gotta get back to Grandma's house,

- No, not yet,

- Not yet? Are you crazy?

That shadow thing

is gonna turn us into statues,

It isn't gonna follow us,

Didn't you see? It can't stand the light,

I want Mommy and Grandma,

(sighs)

Don't worry, Your big sister

is gonna get Mommy and Grandma back,

- You are?

- Well, duh,

Of course I am,

But there are some things

we need to get first,

You're gonna do some shopping?

Can't this wait?

No, we have to finish that witches' brew,

Getting that talisman lit is our only chance

of saving Mom and Grandma,

Here, I copied the ingredients

from Grandma's cookbook,

- Hair of a werewolf, sweat of a ghost,,,?

- Come on, Dylan,

We're Cromwells,

Together we can conquer anything,

(sighs)

I don't know,

Come on,

(overlapping chatter)

(hair dryers blowing)

Take a gander!

Look at you, sweetheart, You are

coming along like a fast bride, baby,

First stop, Wolfie's,

We're gonna start by conquering bad hair?

- Well, he is a werewolf,

- Can I help you kids?

Oh, yeah, um, I was just wondering

if you had any part-time jobs available,

- Maybe, like, after school or something?

- No, no, No, I'm sorry, We don't,

Oh, this sulfuric acid treatment

is coming along nicely,

It's really gonna split your ends

and bring out those roots, baby,

But I've always wanted

to become a beauty technician,

Oh, careful, Loki, Careful,

She's an herb, not a shrub, OK?

Think salad - light, crispy,

Well, you know, um,

I could really be a help

maybe, uh, sweeping

the trimmings around the shop,

- Maybe even doing some hairstyling,

- Don't touch that, OK?

- Don't worry, I use these all the time,

- Put that down,

The other button! Turn it off,

Will you please just turn it off?

- I'll get it off, I'll get it off, OK?

- No, no, The other button,

What I need you to do,,, It's only

to be used by a trained professionals

so just put the thing down,

I got it, I got it,

The other button, sweetheart,

Put the thing down,

(howls)

- Hey, hey, hey!

- Call me if you need me!

Come back here, you little hum,,,

Hey, this could be a good look for me,

Yeah, baby,

Round, Round,

Run around,

Turn and turn, and number two,

and turn and turn,

And stir the cauldron,

One, two, three,

With your left hand,

now we're gonna stroke and stroke,

Keep those hips moving, and stroke,

Keep on going, now, Stroke,

And, dogs, keep on up with the others,

No slobbering on people, huh?

Please,

Stroke and stroke,

Keep on going now,

Stroke and stroke,

There's gotta be a ghost

around here someplace, Come on,

(Sophie) Snot Man!

Ghosts are dead,

Why would they worry about fitness?

Come on,

- Look, a real ghost,

- And a real sweat box,

All right, distract him long enough

so I can get the sweat,

Would you get a grip? He can't sweat,

He doesn't have a body,

Just distract him,

So, uh, did you know that Sea-Monkeys

are actually shrimp?

No,

Keep going,

Um,,,

Did you know that there is no

proper name for the back of the knee?

You don't say,

(moaning)

Very funny, kid,

Now go back to your mommy,

(moaning)

Hey, kid, I don't appreciate stereotypes

like that, all right?

(Sophie continues moaning)

Sure, sure,

Make fun of the transparent guy,

Just 'cause you can see through us

doesn't mean we don't have feelings,

Whoo, is it getting hot in here,

Hades was nothing compared to this,

Can I get some help over here?

Burning up!

- Attendant!

- Yes! Got it! OK, come on,

Attendant!

Attendant!

- Thanks,

- Attendant!

(high-pitched) Attendant!

(screaming)

Oh, my, I'm afraid that one's

gonna have to come out,

Is it going to hurt? Don't hurt me, doctor!
