Practical Magic Page #4

Gary Hallet:
So what kind of a craft do you do?

Sally:
Do I do? I manufacture bath oils and soaps and hand lotions and shampoo. And the aunts .. they like to meddle in people's love lives. Magic isn't just spells and potions. Your badge , it's just a star, Just another symble. Your talisman. It can't stop ciminals in their tracks, can it? It has power because you believe it does. Wish you could believe in me.

Gary Hallet:
Miss Owens, are you hiding James Angelov?

Sally:
Not in this house.

Gary Hallet:
Did you or your sister kill James Angelov?

Sally:
Oh, Yeah. Couple of times.

===INT. KITCHEN ===

Sally:
Antonia, could you make more of a mess?

Antonia:
Mom, I'm cooking.

Sally:
I can see that.

Gary Hallet:
Hey, there. Did you ever seen a saguaro cactus? Step aside, you. Well, you are about to.

(Gary cooks.)

=== INT. GARDEN ===

Gary Hallet:
I assume you don't want pancakes.

Kylie:
No, we want them! W e want them!

Sally:
Be careful. They tend to use those as Frisbees.

Kylie:
Can you ride a pony backwards?

Gary Hallet:
Backwards, forwards, sideways, you name it.

Sally:
Okay, first troll.

Antonia:
Look!

Kylie:
A star!

Sally:
This is not yours.

Gary Hallet:
That's all right.

Sally:
Second troll.

===INT. KITCHEN===

Gillian:
We just stick to our stories. No body, no crime. I'm sorry. I'm feeling like sh*t. I'm not sleeping. I . Me. Mine.

Sally:
That's all you can think about, isn't it? You.

Gillian:
It's all about you. I don't want to fight.

Sally:
Don't walk away from me. I'm sick and tired of cleaning up your messes.

Gillian:
Yeah, you are right. You are always right. I'm just a mess. Just one big mess! At least I've lived my life. You hate me for it because it scares the hell out of you.

Sally:
Gillian, I don't hate you.

Gillian:
look at you! You spend all your energy trying to fit in, be normal! But you'll never fit in. Because we're different! And so are your girls.

Sally:
You leave them out of this. Okay?

Gillian:
All my life, I've wished I had half your talent. You're wasting yourself, Sal!

Sally:
I want you out of here. I want you done.

Gillian:
Okay, fine. I'm gone.

Sally:
Good.

=== EXT. GARDEN EVENING ===

Gary Hallet:
What was that, Sally? That was him, wasn't it? Is he gone or what?

Sally:
Yes, you killed his spirit, but I know I took his life. I'll tell you all need to know. I'll tell you how I did it, where I buried him, what I did it with. I'll tell you how

Gary Hallet:
Wow, wow wow, Hold on just a goodamn second, all right? One step at a time. I took on oath to uphold the law. I came here to bring in the bad guy because generally that's what I do. You asked me how many times I read your letter. I must've read it about a thousand times. I know now, It was your letter anything else that brought me here. It was you. And I'm all mixed-up about that.

Sally:
The reason you're here and you don't know why is because I sent for you. When I was a little girl, I worked a spell so I would never fall in love. I asked for qualities in a man that I knew couldn't possibly exist.

Gary Hallet:
One green eye, one blue?

Sally:
But you do.

Gary Hallet:
You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells?

Sally:
Yeah. It's not real. And if you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell and you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison.

Gary Hallet:
You know, all relationships have problem.

Sally:
I'm right, aren't I? You don't know, do you?

Gary Hallet:
Why don't you do what you do and what I do. and we'll see where we end up. Okay?

Sally:
Okay.

Gary Hallet:
Curses only have power when you believe in them. And I don't. You know what? I wished for you too.

===INT. ROOM NIGHT===

Gillian (James inside): I'm feeling very into sisters right now.

Sally:
Come on!

(Aunts and children comes back home)

Aunt Jet:
It seems we've not arrived in the nick of time.

Aunt Frances:
I see our instincts are getting a little rusty.

Aunt Jet:
He's squatting inside her like a toad. This is what comes from dabbling. You can't practice witchcraft while you look down your nose at it.

Sally:
I know. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

Aunt Frances:
We must banish him.

Aunt Jet:
Force his spirit back to the grave.

Aunt Frances:
We need a full coven. Nine women.

Aunt Jet:
Twelve's better

Aunt Frances:
Do you have any friends?

=== INT. KITCHEN NIGHT ===

(Sally calls on the phone)

Sally:
Linda, it's Sally. I'm activating the phone tree. You know the stuff everyone whispers about me... the hexes, the spells? Here is the thing. I'm a witch!

Woman D:
I got the best news. Sally just came out.

Woman A:
What a fabulous affirmation.

Woman F:
Her sister just got out of a bad relationship and now the guy won't leave her alone. Can you bring a bloom.

===EXT. GARDEN NIGHT===

Kylie:
I see headlights.

Antonia:
Mom, they're here! Come on ! They're here!

Woman F:
It's in the kitchen!

Antonia:
In the side door!

===INT. KITCHEN NIGHT===

Aunt Jet:
Come in! It's so good of you to come. No, now's not time to be shy. Come on in. Grab yourselves a spoon. You can stir right over there.

Aunt Frances:
You get right over here and grab that spoon and dig right in. Doesn't that look great? And the fumes are great for the pores. Not to mention sealing his nasty spirit back into the grave.

Woman A:
Once, I was across town, my daughter had a nightmare. I swear, I could hear her crying.

Aunt Jet:
There's a little witch in all of us.

Sally:
Everything's almost ready, Aunt Jet. (to Sara) I didn't expect to see you here.

Sara:
Ever since I was a girl, I've wanted to see inside your house.

Sally:
Thank you for coming.

Woman F:
Is this okay? It's all I had.

Aunt Frances:
Well, ladies, let's begin.

===INT. ROOM NIGHT===

Aunt Frances:
All right, ladies, pick a broom from a circle.

Woman A:
Holy sh*t!

Woman B:
I've been strung out by a guy before, but this

Aunt Jet:
Would each of you pick up your brooms? Hold them at staff length, handle to brush. Remember that as we go forth. It is only with our hearts beating as one that we can save the life of this child.

(Aunt Frances starts spelling)

Woman C:
Are we supposed to say this?

(Everyone spells to get rid of James's spirit from Gillian)

Sally:
Stop it! We're killing her.

Gillian (James):
Fight this, you b*tch!

Sally:
Oh, God! Oh, God! Gilly! Gilly, Honey!

Gillian:
It's okay. I love you.

Sally:
Stay with me.

Gillian:
Please, just let him take me.

Sally:
No, you have to hold on. Gill, you have to stay with me. Gilly, No, stay with me. Gilly, No, stay with me.

Gillian:
No, he wants me. Just me. Everyone will be safe. Just let him take me.

Sally:
Don't die on me, Gilly Owens, please. Because we're supposed to die together, remember? The same time. You promised me that. And this is not that day.

Gillian:
I love you, Sally.

Sally:
Okay, wait. I've got it. Get them back in a circle.

Sally:
Hey, Jimmy, I got a worm with your name on it. You thirsty? Is this is what you want? Well, this ...you can't have. My blood. Your blood. Our blood.
