I Married a Witch Page #8

Synopsis: In 1672, two witches (Jennifer and her father Daniel) were burned by puritan Jonathan Wooley. In revenge, Jennifer cursed all future generations of the Wooley family, that the sons will always marry the wrong woman and be miserable. In the 20th century, a bolt of lightning frees Jennifer and her father from the tree that had kept their souls imprisoned. Jennifer assumes corporeal form and decides to make up-and-coming politician Wallace Wooley, then unhappily engaged, even more miserable by getting him to fall in love with her before his wedding. Wallace is a straight arrow, though, and Jennifer has to resort to a love potion. As we all know, love potions tend to backfire, with comedic results.

Master Wooley.

I am accustomed to fire.

Come, Jennifer.

I have decided to return

with thee to the tree.

I am weary of mortals.

There's no use fighting.

It has to be like this.

- Jennifer, what are you saying?

- Go, Wally. Please.

[ Clock Chimes ]

Midnight.

Good-bye, my darling.

I want you

to remember me as I was:

just an ordinary girl.

- [ Cackles ] He'll remember.

- [ Chiming Continues ]

That will be his torture.

And I'll remember

that I loved you.

Through all eternity

I'll remember.

[ Cackles ]

Thou wilt remember

nothing of this tender feeling.

That will be the essence

of thy punishment.

I'll never forget.

With all my strength

I'll fight.

Love is stronger

than witchcraft.

I'll remember everything

the sound of your voice...

your worried looks...

the warmth of your arms

around me...

the touch of your lips.

[ Clock Chimes ]

[ Jennifer's Voice ]

Good-bye, Wally.

Good-bye, my darling.

I'll remember.

I'll always remember.

Always.

Always. Always.

[ Daniel ] Look at him.

Is it not good to see him suffer?

Yes, Father.

Is this not a perfect revenge

on the Wooleys?

Yes, Father.

Could we follow him?

And why?

To watch him suffer,

of course.

Well said, Jennifer!

Thou art a witch again!

[ Daniel Cackling ]

She's dead, Master Wooley.

Thy marriage

is a mournful memory.

Let's be gone, Jennifer.

[ Jennifer ] Let me tarry

but a moment at this window.

I wish to see it all.

[ Daniel ]

Thou art enjoying it, eh?

[ Jennifer ]

Oh, yes. And thou?

I cannot remember

when I've had a better time.

[ Cackles ]

It's great in here.

I've called a doctor,

Mr. Wooley.

Jennifer?

The sound of his voice

[ Chuckles ]

it no longer thrills thee?

- No, Father.

- Good.

And his worried looks?

And the warmth

of his arms around thee?

[ Jennifer ] These are things

that have no meaning for me now.

And the touch of his lips?

Wally...

love is stronger

than witchcraft.

[ Daniel ]

For tonight I'll merry, merry be

For tonight

I'll merry, merry be

- Tomorrow I'll be sober

- Oh, no, you won't.

Wally, darling,

all our troubles are over.

At least for the present.

[ Margaret Scolding, Indistinct ]

Mr. Wooley...

I've been with your family

for 37 years, but this is the end.

- What is it, Margaret?

- I simply cannot handle your daughter!

Jennifer!

I told you never

to play with that broom.

Why?

I'm afraid we're going to have

trouble with her someday.

Oh, that's impossible.

I hope.

[ Daniel Cackling ]

Good night, ladies

We're going

to leave you now
