Synopsis: Practical Magic is a 1998 American romantic comedy film based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman. The film was directed by Griffin Dunne and stars Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, Dianne Wiest, Aidan Quinn and Goran Visnjic. The film score was composed by Alan Silvestri.

Raised by their aunts after their parents' death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical—their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' sorcery also carries a price—some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death.

The room service here sucks.

Sally:
Let's get you out of here.

Gillian:
I'm fine.

Gillian:
He's been really crazy, you know? We've been driving for 2 weeks straight. I mean, not even straight. In these zigzags, back and forth. Damn these shose! Then today he says he wants a jelly doughnut. An he says to the kid, "Jelly doughnut, with cream." And the kid looked confused. And I said, "Jimmy, jelly's not a cream." And then the kid laughed and I laughed and then he punched me. He punched me real hard. The bastard! Blood on the moon!

Sally:
I know.

Gillian:
Blood on the moon!

Sally:
I know. Get in the car.

Gillian:
Where's my tiger's eye? It brings me luck. I left it. I got to get my tiger's eye!

Sally:
It's probably in the bag, Gilly! Gillian, come on!

=== INT. CAR NIGHT ===

Jimmy:
You drive.

Jimmy:
You want some? Nope. Hey, Sally, you ever read any books by Louis L'Amour? Okay, Louis L'Amour is a foreigner and he loved all things cowboy. Just like me, Jimmy-boy. So Louis would write stories about rustlers. Rustlers who were really bad guys.

Gillian:
(To Sally)The belladonna is in my bag.

Jimmy:
They would try to steal the cattle. But before they could sell them they would try to take away the brand of the owner with an acid, or by scrubbing. Unfortunately, they could never get rid of it. So they would be caught and get hanged.

Sally:
What are you doing?

Jimmy:
Come on! You can't hide the brand. It's just you and me. (To Sally) Watch the road!

Sally:
Shut up! Rustlers and branding! Louis L'Amour by the way is not a foreigner! He's from Noth Dakota, you a**hole! Jimmy: Watch the road!

Sally:
You're freaking ne out, Dracula freak! Give me the bottle before I plow you into a truck just to get you to shut up!

Jimmy:
Calm down! You know, girls. I'm feeling very into sisters right now.

=== EXT. ROAD NIGHT ===

Jimmy:
(Singing) You were always on my mind, you were always on my mind...

=== INT. CAR NIGHT ===

Gillian:
He should've passed out by now. You don't give him enough?

Sally:
I gave him plenty.

Gillian:
What's he going to do?

Sally:
Just stay calm.

(Jimmy gets into the car)

Jimmy:
(Singing) If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind. you were always on my mind...

Gillian:
Jimmy, please, baby. Come on, baby, I love you.

Jimmy:
I'm sorry, my love. I want to be with you forever.

Gillian:
I love you. Jimmy, please.

Gillian:
Sal, He's out. He's passed out.

Sally:
Oh, God!

Gillian:
Oh, My God! How much did you give him?

Sally:
I don't know, you know, I wasn't using a measuring cup! He tried to kill you!
