Halloweentown Edit

A book? What book?

A witch's 13th Halloween is supposed to mark the completion of her training,

A wonderfully lucky number, 13,

A wonderfully lucky number, 13,

Abracadabra,

Absolutely, dear, as soon as I get the children into their costumes,

Actually, she gets b's and c's, I get the a's,

Aggie! How are you, dear?

All aboard for the mortal world!

All aboard, all aboard, come on, the smallest first,

All right, here it is, vampire fang, ghost sweat, werewolf hair a LA mode,

All right, that's it, mother, these children are not going out trick or treating,

All this weird stuff's been happening to Sophie, did that stuff happen to me?

All you have to do is want something, and then let yourself have it!

Also, the worst is yet to come,

And about that brew you were working on, too,

And after I specifically told you not to tell them anything about it,

And all the rest of us could be together,

And an excellent bowling league,

And Dylan thinks he's hallucinating anyway, I'll be all right by myself,

And grandma she was a dream, too,

And have homes and children and jobs,

And I did it for you,

And I fear my powers alone may not be enough to stop it,

And I have all the frankenstein movies on video,

And I hid them from you, just like I am doing with Sophie,

And I think it's just the thing to tackle our troubles here in halloweentown,

And I thought you'd appreciate these,

And I tried to stop 'em, mom, but they hypnotized me,

And I will be ruler of both worlds!

And I'll be back to see you all as soon as I can,

And I'm gonna learn everything that grandma can teach me,

And I'm gonna move someplace really far away and join a motorcycle gang,

And I'm so glad to see you, ,, all,

And I'm sorry about the things I said and did,

And I'm sorry that I didn't trust you,

And if you marry him, I am not calling him "dad,"

And it's not right for you to try to make me,

And it's turned her into a wall ornament!

And marnie, not a wor, ,,

And my brother's might do it,

And my grandmother's and my sister's

And now it is time for dinner,

And now that I've found out the truth,

And since the dawn of time, the cromwells have been the most powerful, ,,

And since William's passed on, there's nothing to hold you here,

And since you won't help her, she needs the only other cromwell witch there is me,

And since your mother isn't of the mind to help,

And soon after that, they disappear altogether,

And soon your hold over the creatures of halloweentown will be broken forever!

And stir the cauldron, one, two, three,

And that means I'm in trouble, 'cause the mayor's supposed to know everybody,

And that's why I knew that she is a witch, and so is mom and so am I!

And the candy and the decorations and the, ,,

And the ghost! There!

And the residents are a bit more, ,, exotic,

And then I will meet you down in the kitchen in one minute,

And then let yourself have it.

And then we'll put up the decorations so we can get this party started!

And then you can show me how to, ,, no! Where's my broom?

And they say, "big deal, I saw the same thing on Jerry springer."

And those masks everybody wears have these weird kind of toxic fumes inside

And together we will reclaim the mortal world which is rightfully ours,

And twice the guts,

And when you awake, I will be your master,

And you are, ,,?

And you can just go home,

And you've been badgering me to start her training,

Anything that has the word "magic" in it?

Are you cookin' chowder, grandma? I like chowder,

Are you fighting a losing battle with hair loss?

Are you gonna use your magic to raise some spirits,

Argh!

As long as we get you home before it's midnight in the mortal world,

Attendant!

Attendant! Attendant!

Aw, grandma has to go?

Because it's important to conserve energy during the evening hours, ,,

Because they both said so, what do you think?

Because this is not your world,

Been to visit the mortals? Didn't have time this year myself,

Being normal is vastly overrated,

Believe.

Bet y gugaun, cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

Bet y gugaun, cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

Bet y march, bet y guythur,

Bet y march, bet y guythur,

Bet y march, bet y guythur, bet y gugaun, cledyfrutm anoeth bid!

Bet y march, bet y guythur, bet y gugaun...

Bet y march, bet y guythur...

Better get going before there's no more beds,"

Better than a lot of graveyards I've hung out in,

Big iron lock that keeps us out, open up your big iron mouth!

Bury your head in the sand of the precious mortal world of yours,

But all the other witches get to do all kinds of stuff when they're 13,

But before we can be sure of success,

But can't you stay overnight, grandma?

But I can't just leave my kids to go fight some nameless force in another world

But I didn't, they came to see me,

But I prefer the metallic blue myself,

But I've always wanted to become a beauty technician,

But it was turning us evil, which we are not!

But let's just hope that halloweentown doesn't come to an end along with it,

But let's see if my powers and my mom's

But look at her, you've kept her from a normal childhood,

But on your honor, don't tell them about home, your home, I mean,

But that don't mean you kids can go running around here by yourselves,

But that's only two hours from now,

But the important thing is that I'm here now,

But the truth is, ,, there's nothing special about me,

But then, ,, I smelled something stinky,

But then, all that candy causes cavities and gum disease,

But there are just some things about Halloween that you don't understand,

But there are some things we need to get first,

But we have to be careful not to reveal our true purpose,

But what are we gonna do?

But you can't take us home!

But you chose a human instead,

But, mom, grandma needs help,

But, mom, I mean, you can go home if you want to,

But, mom, it's just a costume party, you've gotta let me go,

By bringing this talisman back to life,

By crashing a Halloween party!

By the dozens, and of course, a few very fine witches,

Bye

Bye,

Bye,

Bye, Benny!

Bye, bye,

Bye, grandma,

Bye, Harriet,

Bye, kids!

Bye!

Calabar, could I speak to you for a moment?

Calabar!

Calabar?

Can I get some help over here? Burning up!

Candy!

Careful, loki, careful,

Check it out,

Chrome detailing, a microchip directional system,

Claims some shadow creature gave it to him, ha!

Cledyfrutm anoeth bid.

Come along, children, but let's be real careful,

Come back here, you little hum, ,,

Come here, sweetie,

Come on,

Come on,

Come on,

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on, Dylan, we need you, believe,

Come on, get in, I gotta go,

Come on, grammy, admit it,

Come on, here we go, whoo!

Come on, Sophie, you know nobody ever comes here on Halloween,

Come on, you little cromwell punk, you think you're so smart!

Come on!

Come on!

Come, my little wall ornament, let's get you washed up for dinner,

Coming back from a costume party at the moose lodge, or maybe, ,!

Cool, flying brooms, wow,

Cool!

Costumes?

Could I talk to you in the kitchen for just one minute?

Dictu jubentis vivida...

Did you know that there is no proper name for the back of the knee?

Do not underestimate me, Agatha,

Do they have dybbuks and banshees there too?

Do you really want them to go through life doing things the hard way?

Does not!

Dog man,

Doing some volunteer work down at the headless shelter,

Don't know?

Don't let the bogeyman bite!

Don't waste your energies, witches,

Don't worry about it, catch me in the next life, ha!

Don't worry, dear, I won't tell them a thing,

Don't worry, your big sister is gonna get mommy and grandma back,

Dow, ,,

Drat,

Dylan, haven't you ever wondered about the stuff that goes on in our house?

Dylan, just get in here,

Dylan, this is halloweentown, just like the book,

Dylan!

Dylan?

Enjoy your leftovers, dear,

Especially since even when I was good looking,

Eureka!

Every day, I find another neighbor has changed, turned hateful, it's frightening,

Every time you come into this house, it's it's chaos,

Ew,

Ew, snot man,

Excuse me,

Excuse me, but we have an impressionable young child here,

Excuse me, sir, miss sticky here, I'll get right to the point,

Face it, mom, you don't trust your own kids,

Family trouble, grammy? Guess it's just you again,

Fetch the bone,

Fighting this thing all alone, no one believing you,

Filet o fish, ha! Just kiddin', what's the ticket?

First stop, wolfie's,

First you put them under an evil spell, and then you turn them into statues,

Follow me,

Follow me,

Follow me, my fellow citizens of halloweentown,

Fooled ya,

For years, you have been coming here, you've been dropping hints to marnie,

Forced to live here in this halloweentown,

Forget that house, let's go to the next one,

Get down,

Get in the cab!

Getting that talisman lit is our only chance of saving mom and grandma,

Ghosts are dead, why would they worry about fitness?

Give it to me!

Give me the talisman,

Give me the talisman,

Give me the talisman!

Give me the talisman!

Go after her? Are you crazy?

Go and tell them a story,

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

Go!

Good going, looks like you got more than the weird part down,

Good luck, marnie,

Good night, grandma,

Good thing she doesn't like liver, dear?

Good,

Grandma aggie's the one who always starts it,

Grandma said something about installing it,

Grandma says that spells are simple,

Grandma,

Grandma, look at these things!

Grandma, this book is so neat, it has, like, all the stuff I'm interested in,

Grandma, this is so totally cool,

Grandma, too,

Grandma's gonna come live with us? That'll be so cool,

Great, the weirdo encyclopedia,

Guess it wasn't much of a reason for being all evil and all?

Guys, come on,

Gwen, a human father,

Gwen, as much as I think you're making a terrible mistake with marnie,

Gwen, the children,

Gwen!

Gwen!

Gwendolyn, I'm quite serious about this,

Ha ha!

Ha,

Hades was nothing compared to this,

Halloween is cool, nature boy,

Handle it, this is a cromwell you're talking to, dear,

Hang on tight, let's see what this can do,

Harriet,

Harriet, I'm fine,

Harriet?

Have a little dinner, then I could show you all our old haunts?

Have a very urgent message, ooh!

Have you cast any spells or taken midnight flights through the sky?

Haven't you ever wondered why we pretend Halloween doesn't exist?

He got her and it's not working, we've lost, ,!

He loved her witch's costume,

He said all he wanted was the talisman and that he'd let your grandma go,

He wants to reveal himself, ,,

He was buying nachos at the minimart when this smart aleck child

He's a much better driver than he is a comedian,

He's coming,

He's probably animatronic, Disneyland's full of stuff like that,

Hello, marnie, and that wasn't a trick, I'm a warlock in my off hours,

Her face, ,, she was like a wild animal, and she was fine a couple of hours ago,

Here,

Here, honey, I want you to go and hang this on the doorknob,

Here, I copied the ingredients from grandma's cookbook,

Hey, chocolate bar, you better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble,

Hey, don't sell me too short there, grammy,

Hey, good to see you!

Hey, guys, wait up! Wait for me!

Hey, I got a fare up that way anyway, why don't you let me give you a lift?

Hey, if you ever come back to halloweentown, look me up,

Hey, kid, I don't appreciate stereotypes like that, all right?

Hey, let him go,

Hey, look! I'm a potato! Are you happy now?

Hey, look! I'm a potato! Are you happy now?

Hey, mom, do you think you and grandma could, like, not fight for once?

Hey, that'd be great, thanks,

Hey, the mayor seems like a nice guy, maybe he would know,

Hey, this could be a good look for me,

Hey, wait a minute, what about this house?

Hi,

Hi,

Hi, guys,

Hit it, guys,

How are we supposed to grow up if we can't explore the world,

How come you've been gone so long, grandma?

How dare you disobey me?

How's this stuff gonna help?

Howdy, mayor, what's the rush? I'm on my lunch hour,

Huge lollypop in my ear,

Human,

I always do!

I am a witch, right? Right?

I am a witch! Well, how come I never knew?

I am so sick of this,

I baked them for the folks at the shelter, didn't occur to me they couldn't eat them,

I came to start my training, grandma,

I can have a normal life here, they can have a normal life here,

I can't be certain who to trust anymore,

I can't believe mom dated that guy,

I can't hear ya, I seem to have a, ,,

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

I could lose my powers forever,

I could use a babysitter on Thursday nights,

I dare say that she's going to be very upset when she finds you're gone,

I decided this really is a dream, so why worry?

I did what I did because he made me handsome,

I didn't have a chance of getting a date with you,

I didn't know he was gonna do that to your mom and grandma,

I didn't take you seriously about this thing at first,

I do have the talisman,

I do have to say a spell over it,

I don't care if the bus is coming, that's not our job, my job is to sell tickets,

I don't fear him or any creature,

I don't get it, monsters are just pretend,

I don't have the schedule, why do I have to do everything around here?

I don't know where that thing went to, just a minute,

I don't know,

I don't know,

I don't like witches, they're mean and scary,

I forgot about Luke,

I got it, I got it,

I gotta help grandma,

I gotta keep an eye on you, plus, I'm gonna have a hard time getting back to sleep

I guess I didn't turn into a handsome prince though?

I guess I'm just on my own,

I guess you like magic when he does it?

I have big plans for all of us here in halloweentown,

I have my reasons, and I will explain them to you when you're, ,, taller,

I have to apologize to you, aggie,

I have to go, if she doesn't start training me as a witch tonight,

I have to, it's the only way to save mom and grandma,

I hear they have a nice school district,

I hear your mother's in town,

I I could feel it,

I just ran into Harriet, and she's completely changed!

I know that that's why you came here tonight, mother, but the fight is over,

I know you have Merlin's talisman,

I know you're only here for a couple of hours,

I know you've got Merlin's talisman, and he wants it,

I like halloweentown, but why do you have to live so far away, grandma?

I like to make up songs,

I mean, give me a break, I have trouble remembering agua.

I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient,

I mean, look at you, with your plastic bowls,

I mean, nobody around here really appreciates my taste in weird stuff,

I mean, seeing as how marnie likes weird stuff so much,

I mean, sometimes, some of the slimiest, raunchiest,

I mean, Sophie probably doesn't belong here,

I mean, there's plenty of room for all of you at my house,

I mean, they're just like everyone else, some are kind, some are mean,

I mean, we haven't seen her in over a year,

I mean, why can't you pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like arbor day?

I missed them so,

I need another cromwell witch, I need you,

I never could've done it without you,

I offer you the chance

I really want that cookie,

I said "powers," not "flowers,"

I said get out of my way,

I said stop!

I suppose we could get these ingredients in town,

I think I'm a big pimple,

I think it proves insanity is hereditary, I just hope boys are immune,

I think it's obvious why Halloween is bad,

I think so, I can hear her heart beating,

I think we should make it clear that this place we're talking about is just pretend,

I think you've uncovered something very serious,

I thought I heard someone listening,

I thought you said you're a witch, the least you can do is remember a dumb spell,

I understand that I am here, and I've got a broom,

I want mommy and grandma,

I want that cookie,

I want to go there!

I want to know why we can't be like other kids and go out on Halloween,

I want you all just to get back on that bus, because we are going home,

I want you to leave this alone for now, especially with the children,

I wanted to help grandma fight the bad thing,

I was gonna get them back just as soon as I possibly felt that I could, ,,

I was only trying to do what you should have done long ago,

I wasn't even under a spell or anything,

I will bend the creatures of this world to my will, one by one,

I wish,

I'd like to, ,,

I'd love to have you move back home, Gwen,

I'll bet you get a's in school,

I'll get Benny to run you up there,

I'll show you,

I'm a ghost!

I'm a wiccan!

I'm afraid we haven't worked out long distance calling between worlds yet,

I'm certainly old enough to make my own choices, right?

I'm friends with some very powerful creatures around here, you know, ,,

I'm gonna be finishing your training,

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

I'm not gonna stay here and turn all boring and human like you,

I'm not marrying anyone, and this discussion is over, we are going home,

I'm so proud of you,

I'm so sick of you drinking all this caffeine, you're giving me a headache,

I'm something of a big cheese around here,

I'm Sophie,

I'm sorry if we worried you, dear,

I'm sorry,

I'm very sorry,

I've always loved a good scare for old time's sake,

I've always said the movies can teach us about life,

I've been using it to keep my eye on things,

I've got to install this thing before it's too late,

I've tried, you know how it is today, no one wants to get involved,

If I can get it lit and install it properly,

If I don't head home by midnight, well, it's just, ,, it's a long time until the next bus,

If marnie's training doesn't at least begin tonight, her powers will be lost forever,

If she's like the others, then by tomorrow she'll have disappeared altogether,

If you count pouring cereal!

Into a live chicken, standing right there in the bowl,

Is hair growing everywhere but where you need it?

Is it going to hurt? Don't hurt me, doctor! I'm not very good with pain,

Is she here with you?

Is there gonna be a Halloween party today, grandma? Everybody's all dressed up,

It annoys the vampires,

It annoys the vampires,

It does seem a little unfair,

It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic,

It is me,

It isn't gonna follow us, didn't you see? It can't stand the light,

It must be, um, one of those radio controlled models,

It must have been the big cheese,

It removes mold and fungus just like magic.

It seems the bus was delayed, and I was hoping that the, ,,

It should suffice to drive away this force that threatens us,

It sounded pretty, so I made up a song for it,

It was a great ride,

It was old English or welsh or something,

It was the dark times,

It'll be fine, don't worry about a thing,

It's a little recipe that I picked up in the sixth century,

It's as though something or someone is trying to return us to the dark times,

It's been a long time?

It's been handed down through the cromwell clan over many generations,

It's closed!

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

It's getting late, you wouldn't want to miss your bus back home,

It's just a title, really,

It's just an evil spell that freezes us,

It's just one night, what is the big deal?

It's just the magic powers she's missing,

It's marnie,

It's much too dangerous for you to be involved with by yourself,

It's not like the old days, people are jaded, I raise a demon from the underworld,

It's not polite to stare,

It's really gonna split your ends and bring out those roots, baby,

It's so wonderful to see you and the children again,

It's the bad thing,

It's totally too late for him,

It's working!

Join me, join me,

Just 'cause you can see through us doesn't mean we don't have feelings,

Just because your grandmother said that you're a witch doesn't make you one,

Just came by to check that everyone's got their thermostat set to 68 degrees,

Just distract him,

Just doesn't work like it does when you make it from scratch,

Just give me two days,

Just like we were playing, grandma,

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

Just two days, that's all,

Keep going,

Keep on going now, stroke and stroke,

Keep on going, now, stroke, and, dogs, keep on up with the others,

Keep those hips moving, and stroke,

Keep your brother and sister back!

Kids,

Kind of like when marnie and I got separate rooms,

Let him go, let him go, you bonehead, stop,

Let's not fight again,

Let's see,

Like Cleveland?

Like her brother, like her father and like Sophie will be after her,

Like it's a real place, and then she turned our leftovers

Like that helps them prepare for life,

Like that kid Luke,

Like why mom won't let us talk about, watch or read

Lon chaney had one of these on his palm when he got bitten by that werewolf,

Look at you, sweetheart, you are coming along like a fast bride, baby,

Look, a ghost,

Look, about what happened earlier,

Look, and there's a werewolf and a vampire and a gnome,

Look, grandma dressed up for Halloween!

Look, grandma's going somewhere with the wiener dude,

Look, I'm trying to concentrate here,

Look, if you want to give up your roots, that's fine, but I don't,

Look, it's marnie!

Look, marnie, I am sorry, but you are not going out on Halloween,

Looks like we just added another witch to the family,

Luke, we have a job for you,

Luke?

Made it,

Magic is really very simple. All you have to do is want something

Man, that jerk, I'd like to, ,,

Marnie is my daughter, and if I decide not to train her like a witch,

Marnie will see you all tomorrow,

Marnie, I am just trying to protect you,

Marnie, I'm sorry, I know that you want to go out with your friends,

Marnie, let's go,

Marnie, Sophie?!

Marnie, there is so much more involved in this than you understand,

Marnie, this is not our world, now drop it,

Marnie, wait up!

Marnie, we have to go,

Marnie, you get back here!

Marnie, you're 13,

Marnie!

Marnie! She's found the brooms,

Marnie?

Marnie's right, you never let us do anything fun,

Maybe I could show you around sometime, buy you an ice cream,

Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet,

Maybe I'm seeing the future,

Maybe, sweeping the trimmings around the shop,

Mayor,

Merely frozen in time until I need them,

Merlin himself used this talisman to end the dark ages over in the mortal world,

Mm,

Mom, you've been saying that for, like, my whole life, ok?

Mom!

Mom!

Mommy!

Monsters, goblins, ghosts, vampires, gnomes and skeletons,

Mortal see, mortal do,

Mortals see, mortals do,

Mother,

Mother,

Mother, ,,

Mother, as I just got through telling marnie, Halloween is not, ,,

Mother, get that thing out of here right now,

Mother, I am going to put Dylan to bed,

Mother, I cannot believe that you brought them here in the first place,

Mother, I'm sure that you believe that there's some kind of problem,

Mother, mom,

Mother, there are plenty of other witches and warlocks in halloweentown,

Mother!

Must be, you know, one of those charter buses

My broom!

My fellow creatures,

My help, with what?

My poor little sister should be out trick or treating,

My story is about a magical place

My, I'm afraid that one's gonna have to come out,

My, you've got quite a coven here, my dear,

Neat!

Need you to give them a lift up to their grandma's place,

Never!

Never!

No grandma, where'd she go?

No heads!

No slobbering on people? Please,

No way, I don't have any powers, I'm the normal one in this family,

No,

No,

No,

No,

No,

No, actually, it's just two streets over, up a quarter mile past the old movie theater,

No, but you did that before when you decided to help me,

No, dear, it's more like a moaning sound,

No, dear, this is witches' brew,

No, dear, you're very special, you're a cromwell!

No, dear, your mother's quite right,

No, dear. You're very special. You're a cromwwell.

No, he'll see you, you'll end up just like the others,

No, I swear,

No, I won't,

No, I wouldn't think so,

No, I'll have to take you home myself,

No, I'm just gonna fill it up and see if the light goes on,

No, it doesn't,

No, no, no, no, no, no,

No, no, no, sweetheart,

No, no!

No, not statues, they're very much alive!

No, not yet, I don't want to take a chance of her stopping the bus to send us home,

No, we have to finish that witches' brew,

No, you foolish witch!

No, you said she'd be safe,

No!

No!

No!

No! This whole thing the bus stop, grandma,

No! We'll fly it out,

Not again,

Not the dog!

Nothing has to hold me here, mother, I like being here,

Nothing to do with?

Now my darkness will spread unchecked

Now that works just like magic,

Now the glass shows me that some evil force is at work here in halloweentown,

Now, let's look, let's all look, quick, now see, ,, that's it!

Now, now, don't worry, you won't feel a thing,

Now, the purple dragonfly here it's awesome,

Of course I am,

Of course, dear,

Of course, she's lived in the same house for 200 years,

Ok,

Ok, I can show you all my books,

Ok, let's do it,

Ok, um, ,,

On the house,

Ooh hoo!

Ooh,

Ooh, I ask you, where is the respect?

Ooh, my, my, my, my, how you've grown!!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Open it up, open it up, open,

Open sesame?

Or is the big, powerful cromwell witch afraid?

Or maybe that aurora borealis thing I was reading about,

Or maybe we fell asleep on the bus, yeah, that's it, it's all a dream,

Or should I say warlock?

Or why stuff seems to fall off the shelves whenever Sophie has a tantrum?

Perhaps another time,

Perhaps marnie has a secret life we don't know anything about,

Perhaps the cromwell line will end with you,

Period,

Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day,

Pins and needles,

Plus, I wished the lock would turn into a frog,

Plus, mom and dad met on Halloween,

Polite? Let's talk about how legal it is to drive with no eyeballs!

Powers? What powers?

Precisely, from that day on, we were able to settle down

Pretty!

Promise me that?

Put on our bikinis and go swimming in it!

Really?

Remember what grandma said about our traditions being an imitation of theirs?

Repelle, quod cupidinis ciente vi nos impetit!

Right, I knew that,

Right, like there's some big, mysterious reason why we can't go out,

Right, now you can see the future,

Round, round, run around,

Save your tricks, twerp, ok? I'm busy,

Say goodbye to grandma, everybody, it's time for us to go home,

Say hi to aggie for me and, ,, there you go,

Say, I ought to show you around, we could take the styx river cruise,

See ya, so long!

See you later, I can feel it in my bones, ha!

See you upstairs, grandma,

See you, everybody, bye!

See? You're a bad influence,

She didn't have to tell me,

She doesn't look anything like you, she's way too cute,

She spends our whole math class drawing ghosts in her notebook,

She was born in the human world and human is what she'll be,

She'll be an expert in no time,

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

She's gotta be around here somewhere,

She's leaving, she's going back to halloweentown, I gotta go after her,

She's right,

Shh,

Silly witches, you cromwells have failed,

Sleep now, Agatha cromwell,

Snot man!

So anyway, there I was, trying to spook this fellow,

So he did,

So it's true!

So just put the thing down,

So kiss grandma good night, and good night, dear,

So let me try and make up for it,

So this is why so many have disappeared?

So we did our best to make them miserable in return,

So you see, maybe it is real,

So, did you know that sea monkeys are actually shrimp?

So, first time in town for you kids?

So, it was you,

So, we decided to create our own world,

Somebody's coming,

Somebody's coming,

Somebody's coming!

Somebody's on pins and needles!

Someone here to see ya, boss,

Sophie, you know, I think I have an extra sundae, ,!

Sophie! How did you get here?

Sorry,

Stay here, and wish me luck,

Stop it, I don't want to hear any more excuses,

Stop losing, stop thinning, start winning

Stop,

Stopping the bus where?

Stroke and stroke,

Suit yourself,

Sure, it's just over the river and through the woods, ha!

Sure, sure, make fun of the transparent guy,

Take a gander!

Take me to him,

Talk to them and get to know them,

Tell me, what am I gonna have for breakfast?

Thank goodness you're ok,

Thank goodness,

Thank you all for coming, you've been a lovely audience, but the show is over,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thanks for the ride, do you take dollars?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Thanks, grandma,

Thanks, kids, see you in the afterlife, ha!

Thanks, spore Buster!

That could be me, you can train me!

That goes back more than 1,000 years, ,,

That I have nothing to do with,

That is, if you want to,

That Luke dude he's turned into such a wiener,

That make your arms go limp, and, ,, and, ,,

That shadow thing is gonna turn us into statues,

That stuff coming out of my fingertips was probably just static electricity,

That was a bad mix, because humans feared us and tried to destroy us,

That whole razor blade in the apple thing was an urban myth, of course,

That you just have to want it and then let yourself have it,

That's "lights out," you two,

That's a very good idea, let's go,

That's enough,

That's it! How did you remember it, soph?

That's it? You just fill it up?

That's the best you can do? Why didn't you write it down or, ,,?

That's the way they use their magic,

That's the way your mother ran into your father

That's very sweet of you, dear, but you haven't been trained yet,

That's what I get for trying to use instant,

That's why I came to ask your mother to help me,

The abominable snowman has a little shop down the street,

The creature hasn't been born that's quick enough to catch a cromwell!

The decorations, the goblins, the witches, the ghosts, ,,

The fact is, ,, you're not normal,

The fact is, I came to ask for your help,

The house doesn't smell like mushroom omelets anymore!

The mayor, ,, children,

The most powerful warlock of all,

The one who is half human,

The other button, sweetheart, put the thing down,

The other button! Turn it off, will you please just turn it off?

The people who started your Halloween just imitated our traditions,

The pumpkin doesn't look very nice like in the book,

The talisman!

The whole world is going, if I don't go, I'll be a freak,

Then help me find her, she's gotta be around here somewhere,

Then it's none of your business,

Then it's settled!

Then she talked about all this weird stuff that's happening in halloweentown,

Then suffer the consequences,

There is nothing you can do to stop me!

There it is!

There she is,

There was a lot about halloweentown that I, ,, I didn't understand,

There, "hubble bubble, toil and trouble,"

There, halloweentown.

There's gotta be a ghost around here someplace, come on,

They have such cute little faces, just like yours!

They're right here in my suitcase, I just, ,,

Thinks he's a big shot just because he got a nose job and had a few warts removed,

This bag defies logic,

This is a local boy, Luke,

This is an emergency, won't take long,

This is my brother, Dylan,

This is so awesome!

This is the perfect chance for me to try my powers,

This is your last chance,

This one, it's perfect, can I get it, grandma? Please?

This sulfuric acid treatment is coming along nicely,

Till I find out if you're crazy or not,

Tired of that dank, musty odor in your cellar?

To celebrate the evil within us,

To do what? To destroy our world?

To return to our days of glory,

To reveal ourselves as we really are,

To this second class world,

To you,

Too long have we been exiled

Totally,

Trees are important too, you know,

Trick or treat!

Trick or treat!

Try new stuff and take some risks?

Try the new spore Buster deluxe.

Turn and turn, and number two, and turn and turn,

Two by two and three by three,

Two hours there might be two days here, or two weeks, if we're on vacation,

Ugliest little monsters turn out to be the nicest,

Um, ,,

Um, ,, no, but that's ok, see, we came with our grandma,

Um, actually, I'm trying to leave,

Um, let's see,

Um, well, yeah, she just, she's hanging out with our grandma,

Unibody construction, whoo!

Upitidas...

Vampire's fang, yes!

Very funny, kid, now go back to your mommy,

Very good,

Wait a minute, does that mean, ,,? Are you Gwen's kids?

Want to know the worst part?

Wastrel youth of benighted hours, be thee vanquished by my powers!

Watch your step,

Way to go, mom!

We can't save them unless we save ourselves first, come on,

We get really good movies, like it's a wonderful death.

We just came to do a little shopping, but we're done now, ok? So, bye,

We kind of lost her in the crowd getting off the bus, do you know where she lives?

We must find the one who would stop us,

We really appreciate you doing this for us,

We'll be all right, go!

We're aggie cromwell's grandkids,

We're cromwells, together we can conquer anything,

We're gonna start by conquering bad hair?

We've got the bag, on you go, on you go,

We've got to find her, what are you doing? We're gonna lose, ,,

Welcome to my museum,

Well, ,,

Well, actually, I have to confess that I didn't make it up, I read about it in a book,

Well, actually, the place I'm speaking of is called halloweentown,

Well, after all, I am the tooth fairy,

Well, dear, you know that I can't cross over, only on Halloween night,

Well, don't panic, dear, you see, time works differently in halloweentown,

Well, fine,

Well, hello there, I don't believe we've met,

Well, here we are Chez cromwell,

Well, I did a long time ago,

Well, I don't have all the details yet, but I do know one thing

Well, I don't know, I haven't tried them yet,

Well, I found a bunch of cromwells in the town square,

Well, I like being normal,

Well, I suppose I can assume your mother doesn't know you're here,

Well, I suppose I'll have to give the children back now,

Well, I'm, ,, yes,

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

Well, if she is a witch, she's got the weird part down pat,

Well, if she is a witch, she's got the weird part down pat,

Well, it looks like you got your eye on our windsweeper 5000,

Well, it turns out she was a pretty good judge of character,

Well, it used to be your world, are you gonna get tired of us too?

Well, it's the top of the line! If you think you can handle it,

Well, let's just say that there are characters around here that ain't the most savory,

Well, let's look at the original recipe, come, come, come over here,

Well, marnie,

Well, mother, your visit's been very educational,

Well, must be off, take care,

Well, now, why don't you put out the pumpkins, you see?

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

Well, something is wrong at home, something's happening,

Well, that's something I can help you with! I can cook!

Well, then I guess you're just gonna have to come live with us,

Well, there is quite a resemblance,

Well, there was a time when humans and monsters and witches and vampires

Well, there's a reason why witches don't drive minivans!

Well, this is the way we always dress, dear,

Well, this should do it,

Well, um, how do you make it go?

Well, what do you know? The bus isn't running!

Well, when it's dark on Halloween, where do you put the candle? Come on,

Well, you know, one thing and another,

Well, you know, um, I could really be a help

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

What about it, dear?

What about it?

What are we doing? We gotta get back to grandma's house,

What are you so happy about? I thought you didn't want to come,

What bad thing?

What can we do to stop it?

What do you know about it? There you go with the caffeine again!

What do you know about that?

What do you mean, boring like me?

What do you mean, you can't remember?

What else can I do, grandma?

What I need you to do, ,, it's only to be used by a trained professionals

What is it, soph?

What is it? What's wrong?

What kind of a grandma do you think I'd be if I didn't bring you presents?

What was that all about?

What?

What?

What? Installing it? Installing it where?

What? Yes, of course I did,

When you have more than one witch, you wanna help me?

When you know leftover chicken keeps better when it's back on the bone,

Where did you get to, my little darling? Come on, here it is!

Where many sorts of different creatures live together in peace,

Which story are you gonna tell us, grandma? Is it one I know?

Which the humans have stolen from us,

Whoa, whoo!

Whoa!

Whoo hoo hoo!

Whoo, is it getting hot in here,

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo! Boo!

Why are you so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like mom says:

Why do the troublemakers get all the attention?

Why doesn't he reveal himself?

Why don't we go sit up front with grandma?

Why don't you recruit one of them?

Why isn't it working?

Why not?

Why, calabar?

Why, you're on the verge of breaking a tradition

Why, you're only lucky that you have two children that are showing powers at all!

Why?

Will you please tell me what time the next bus leaves to the mortal world?

Will you shut up?!

With a dreadful little monster mask runs up to me and yells, "daddy!"

With our special formula for hair replacement. Works like magic.

With your left hand, now we're gonna stroke and stroke,

Work, you dumb thing, work,

Would you get a grip? He can't sweat, he doesn't have a body,

Wow,

Wow, doc, that didn't hurt at all,

Wow, so this is the real you?

Yeah, and this is from a guy who could win an ugly contest,

Yeah, as if that could happen,

Yeah, baby,

Yeah, it's a pretty nice place,

Yeah, like never,

Yeah, the bad thing or the force field, whatever it is,

Yeah, um, I was just wondering if you had any part time jobs available,

Yeah, we just got here on the bus, it's so amazing,

Yeah, we want to help you fight the bad thing!

Yeah, well, I suppose it would be all right if you could stay a little while,

Yeah, when Mr., Lincoln drives me to the store, we'll talk,

Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables,

Yeah! I mean, horrible idea,

Yee hoo!

Yes, follows me everywhere,

Yes, I'm well aware of what number it is, mother,

Yes, now this is the winner,

Yes, they are a bit more snazzier than when I was a girl,

Yes, well, it is the rite of passage for witches your age,

Yes, yes,

Yes, yes, you showed signs of having the powers,

Yes!

Yes! And she'll finally be human! She'll finally be normal,

You always did let your magic do the talking, thank you,

You are everything I could've ever hoped for in a daughter and so much more,

You are not a witch.

You are the last person I ever expected to see here,

You call that a spell?

You can celebrate later, come on, let's get out of here,

You can have a cookie after dinner,

You can't be serious, you're not actually thinking of going into that thing,

You can't tell what's in a monster's heart just by looking at 'em,

You cannot escape me, old woman,

You could have ruled with me as my queen,

You could've had me,

You couldn't open a can of dog food with a spell like that!

You cromwells are impossible,

You did a fabulous job, all of you,

You did it, you guys, it's lit,

You don't really believe all this witch stuff is true, do ya?

You don't say,

You guys get ready for bed, we'll be right up,

You half human brat,

You keep us all in this big bubble,

You know how talking about dad always bums mom out,

You know my pta meetings, sometimes they go on forever,

You know our mom?

You know that? The clock has finally run out,

You know, by magic,

You know, dear, I've been thinking,

You know, dear, if I'm not mistaken, this is marnie's 13th Halloween,

You know, ghosts tend to be very depressed creatures, anyway, like this:

You know, grandma says that spells are stronger

You know, grandma, this is totally awesome!

You know, I always hoped you'd come back, now here you are,

You know, I was kind of hungry,

You know, if you people were smart, you'd be nice to me,

You know, it must get pretty frustrating,

You know, mother, as much as I want the kids to know their family,

You know, something like that,

You know, the odds were 50% I'd get one normal sister,

You know, these look like the ones from the Egyptian book of the dead.

You put that broom down right now, young lady, you are grounded,

You said you needed another cromwell witch,

You see, my friends? The power of evil is stronger than good,

You see, spells are much more powerful when more than one witch joins in,

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

You think your magic is more powerful than mine?

You thought you could hide from me?

You used to like it, or have you forgotten that part?

You were gonna let my powers go away forever,

You were hoping the mayor could help you out,

You were right,

You're dying to know, right?

You're gonna do some shopping? Can't this wait?

You're right, it is different,

You're the mayor?

You're wrong about why I came here tonight,

You've got all the power of the cromwells

You've got to have the day glo bristles,

Young cromwell,

Your days of rule are at an end, calabar,

Your father was human, and that is the world that we live in,

Your moment of destiny has arrived,

Your mother and I need to talk about grownup things, anyway,

Your precious talisman is nothing more, ,,

Your pumpkin, good night,

Your tradition, mother, not mine,

Your train, ,,? It was you outside the kitchen,

Zip, nada, zero, goose eggs,

"Out" and "mouth" don't even rhyme! Will you be quiet?

a date? Yeah, it was stupid,

All right, yes!

all right, but just one, yes!

and I came to get my training, training?

and I thought they were a handful before, hey, it wasn't me,

and I thought you were brave, hey, this is mom,

are you eating a cookie? No! Go sit down,

around king Arthur's time, king Arthur?!

Attendant! Yes! Got it! Ok, come on,

but it's time for bed, mom!

but mom, ,, no, no, she's right, she's right,

but you were asleep, I was pretending,

Calabar, yes,

can't we just call her? No, no, dear,

can't you at least tell us a bedtime story? Yeah, great idea!

Careful, she could be a mirage, would you stop?

come on, bye,

come on, mom, it's just one cookie, not before dinner, Sophie,

come on, mom, please? Just one?

Come on! We've got to save them!

Did you bring us presents? Presents, presents, presents,

does not, does too,

does not, does too,

Don't worry, I use these all the time, put that down,

Downer, nutcase,

Drat, great, it's not working, now what?

Dylan, this is it, mom said they were just pretend,

Dylan! What?

encouragement, not good, no,

engine trouble, yeah, that's it, scheduling problems,

especially if they're cromwells, well, I'll help you,

Excuse me, I'm on break!

excuse me, it's upsetting my stomach, I'm tired of this,

Excuse me, what about the bus? It'll be several hours,

Get them! That's it,

grandma, it was, ,, it was calabar, what?

guys! All right, that's all,

Gwen, mother,

hair of a werewolf, sweat of a ghost, ,,? Come on, Dylan,

hello, aggie, hello, sadie,

here you are, thank you,

here's your broom, we'll bring you some candy,

Hey, hey, hey! Call me if you need me!

hey, look, a pentagram! Wow!

hey! Thanks for you help,

hi, Skinner, Hello, aggie,

hieroglyphics! Mother!

How did you get here? I followed you onto the bus,

how does all this stuff fit in here? I don't know,

I guess we can't leave after all, yay!

I thought we could continue your studies, yes,

I'll do that, great,

I'll get it off, I'll get it off, ok? No, no, the other button,

is that a good one? Well, let's see here,

it's the bad thing, how do you know about that?

leave my family alone! I'm out of here,

Let me see! All right,

let's do it! Yeah!

Marnie, ,, grandma!

marnie, it's a trap, he's waiting for you, out of my way, Luke,

marnie, not now, you have the schedule,

maybe even doing some hairstyling, don't touch that, ok?

maybe, like, after school or something? No, no, no, I'm sorry, we don't,

mom! See you later, marnie,

mom? Yes, sweetheart?

Mortal world? Isn't that the number six?

Mother! Grandma!

Mother? Grandma?

My stars! How did you get here? On the bus,

Nice to see you, hello, Joe,

No, well, I have,

Of course, well, hello again, soapy! Sophie!

Ok, ok,

Ooh, that's the spirit, wow,

somebody's coming! Come on, sweetie,

Sophie, how did you do that? I pushed,

thank you, you know, I was thinking,

Thanks, attendant!

Thanks, soph, come on, let's get going,

that is not true, yes, it is,

That's the only one we've got, hey, hey, that's my espresso,

The bus? Which bus?

There she is, come on, I got it, I got it!

there you are, soapy, no, thanks,

There's nothing wrong with my tie! Look at it, ,,

this place is awesome, there she is! Hi, grandma!

Watch that curb, yay, grandma, me next, me next,

We'll eat the candy later, ok,

We're here, yeah, but where's "here"?

Well, he is a werewolf, can I help you kids?

Well, how does magic make it go? Magic is really very simple,

well, it's locked, better head home, no way,

Well, you know, if you could practice, ,, mother!

What a witch's life it is, yeah!

What are you doing here? Grandma!

What are you doing here? I'm the man of the house,

What are you waiting for? I can't remember grandma's spell,

what is it, Sophie? The bad thing is in him,

What time is it? There must be some way,

what? Little kids, what an imagination?

What? Ooh, ooh!

what? Sophie!

What?! Excuse me,

what's goin' on here? I have no idea,

what's this, grandma? You've discovered the witches' glass,

What's wrong with the caffeine? You're killing me!

Where'd that bus come from? I don't know, but I'm not missing it,

where'd that bus stop come from? I don't know, can I put my shoe on now?

who is he? He's just a local punk,

Whoo! Wow!

Why are you such a downer? Why are you such a nutcase?

Wow, whoa,

yeah, Halloween is, like, made for her, skeletons, witches, vampires, ,,

Yeah, I guess so, is there an age for that?

you are not a witch, yes, I am, no thanks to you,

you are? Well, duh,

You did it, guys!

you didn't hear about the election? No,

you don't even know which hand, ,! Excuse me, excuse me,

you knew? Look, I made an awful mistake,

you next, you next, I don't think so,

you will not! It's her birthright!

, ,, like a dark shadow over, ,,

,, , to our true natures,

"better march, better get there,

"Betty march, Betty Gunther, Betty, guggenheim, is all that's bid?"

"he," who is "he"?

"No, marnie, it's too dangerous,"

"Sorry, those aren't my kids,"

"there are things about vegetables that you don't understand,"

"they used to be my kids, but I've moved on,"

"Vampire's fang, hair of a werewolf, sweat of a ghost, ,,"
