Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge Page #3

just as humans make fun of us

from the mortal world at Halloween.

But who would cast a spell like this?

I don't know,

but someone is destroying my home.

OK, let's not get upset.

Undoing spells isn't that hard, right?

You just say 'em backwards.

I remember... I remember something

from my spell book. It was a spell...

Well, I haven't looked at it in years,

but it was similar to this.

Well, great. Then maybe

the spell in your book can cure it.

It's worth a try.

Dylan? Dylan?

Oh, Dylan.

Are you there?

Can you hear me?

Dylan, will you please answer this?

Dylan. Can you hear me?

Dylan. Are you there?

Dylan. Will you please answer me?

All right, I hear you.

What do you want?

I want you to go into my room

and read me a spell out of my book.

Grandma, I'm busy.

Oh! Oh...

Just do it, Dylan,

or I'll spam your diary

all over the Net.

You don't know my password.

Wanna bet, Iron Buns?

Shh. OK, I'll do it.

(chuckles) Iron Buns.

I should have been allowed to go, too.

Yeah.

Just open the door.

We're in.

Oh!

Gotcha.

Look, just find the

spell book, all right?

It's not here.

What do you mean. It's not there?

It should be on the table.

- Well, it's not.

- It has to be.

Maybe Grandma misplaced it.

Dylan, it's huge.

How's she gonna "misplace" it?

- She misplaced the ogre.

- Stinky liked playing hide and seek.

Someone must have taken it.

Did any of you go to my room

since I came down to the party?

- Not me.

- Not me.

Um, well, I was, for a few minutes.

Well, did someone go in with you?

Just this boy I met - Cal...

but he couldn't have taken it,

'cause I was with him the whole time.

He must be the one I felt coming.

He stole it, Grandma.

It could have been somebody else.

I mean,

we've been gone for almost an hour.

Well, only you, Grandma and Sophie

know the spell to get in.

Children, you seal my room.

I'm going to go back and have a talk

with Marnie's new friend.

He wouldn't steal anything, Grandma.

He's really sweet.

Perhaps, but for the moment,

he's our only suspect.

Mm.

(both)

From Halloweentown depart we now,

on this, the night, All Hallow's Eve,

back into the mortal world.

Through the portal we take our leave.

The... the portal won't open.

Oh, it's just as I feared.

Whoever cast this Gray Spell

knew it would affect my suitcase

and knew we'd come to investigate.

It was a trap.

(Cal) Very good, Aggie.

You're keeping up nicely.

Cal?

Over here.

Cal?

You cast the spell on Halloweentown?

Just the way it was written in Aggie's

little spell book. You naughty girl.

I knew it seemed familiar.

But... But then you'd have to be a w...

A warlock?

Sweet, huh?

So then that whole thing...

your so-called dad,

the tour of the house -

it was just to get the book.

No, I could have stolen

the book anytime.

See, I wanted you to show it to me

because you felt something between us,

and you did.

- You tricked me.

- Ha. You'll get over it.

And, hey, I still need a date

to the costume party.

Forget the party.

I wanna know why...

- Kalabar.

- What did you say, dear?

The rose.

You always did let

your magic do the talking.

I should have known

when he gave me the rose.

Cal.

You're Kalabar's son.

And I guess I inherited my father's

attraction to Cromwell witches.

I didn't know Kalabar had a child.

He didn't want people to know.

Dad and I didn't always agree, but he

was the only one that stood in the way

of the Cromwells' domination

of Halloweentown.

Oh, that's absurd.

The Cromwells dominate no one.

Then why'd you let the mortals

take charge of the earth

while we had to hide like rats

in another dimension?

Oh, we all voted to create our own world

so everyone could live in peace.

And when my father tried to bring

the creatures of Halloweentown

back as rulers of the human race,

you Cromwells

brought everyone against him,

and then you destroyed him!

So that's what this is about - revenge.

Just say the word,

and I'll open up the portal.

Say what word?

Stop doing everything

your mama tells you,

and I can show you things that Aggie

could not teach you in a million years.

Ha!

I'm not interested in

your kind of magic.

All you do is destroy.

Oh, the Gray Spell

is just the first act, Marnie.

The finale will come at midnight

in the mortal world.

- What finale?

- Join me and find out.

No way.

Well, you think about it, and, uh...

Catch ya later.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I really blew it.

We all make mistakes, dear,

but don't worry about it.

We'll show Cal the Cromwells

are not so easily beaten.

But how?

I mean, we're trapped here,

and... he's got your spell book.

Well, I still have a few

tricks up my sleeve.

(whistles)

First we have to get back to my house.

Oh, thank goodness.

The taxicab is still working.

Oh, now, on the way, you can call

your brother and give him an update

while we find a way

to break this accursed spell.

- Hmm?

- OK.

- Benny?

- Wow! Ahh...

Need a ride?

Uh, Grandma, I think it's Benny.

(Marnie) Can you drive

any faster, Benny?

(Aggie) Relax, Marnie.

We've arrived.

Wow. Turning gray sure has made you

a careful driver, Benny.

- Have we met?

- Ohh...

Well, yeah, but the last time,

you were just skin and bones,

except for the skin.

Thank you for the ride, dear.

We're in something of a hurry.

Come on, children, let's get inside.

What do you think

Cal's going to do to the mortal world?

Well, he clearly shares

his father's hatred of humans,

but if he's willing

to break the Code of Merlin,

which forbids stealing

the spells of another,

then I think that we can safely assume

that he's capable of anything.

Now no more talk until we're inside,

and even if he's still eavesdropping,

he won't be able to hear us in my house.

I hope the Gray Spell

hasn't changed an...

(gasp)... anything. Ohh.

I like what you've done with the place.

I can't believe Cal did this

with a spell out of your book.

We'll never undo it.

Oh, I'd agree with you, dear,

if there was only one copy

of my spell book.

But what he doesn't

know is there are two.

Two?

They're matched sets,

two complete copies.

I took the one I usually use

to the mortal world with me,

and the other one is still here.

Someplace.

- Well, then, let's look for it.

- Oh, let's. Let's.

- (high-pitched voice) OK, yes.

- (High-pitched voice) Is it in there?

No. Excuse me. Excu...

OK. Uh, no...

OK, maybe...

Oh, this is it. No. Aah!

(normal voice)

You can help out, you know.

- I'm kinda hungry.

- Ohh!

I wonder if there's anything

to eat around here.

(both. High-pitched voices) Oh!

Maybe it's in here.

Maybe it's in here.

It's gotta be here.

I know it is.

(normal voice) It's not here.

(sighs)

- How about that one?

- No, that's not it. That's too small.

- How about this? This?

- It's just a big... it's a big book.

- No. OK.

- Oh, my goodness.

Then some of these.

Here, here. I know. Here. This is it.

We can't find it.

Grandma, we can't just give up.
