Bell Book and Candle Page #4

It's just that all the Holroyds

are a little sinister.

You see, Nicky's my brother.

[Sighs] Yeah.

I'm terribly sorry.

Uh...

Oh, waiter?

Yes, sir?

Give us two more of those, a vodka

and tonic and a scotch and soda.

Yes, sir.

[Mouthing Words]

[ Band Stops]

[Mouthing Words]

[ Stormy Weather ]

Miss Kittridge had a-

a quirk at college too.

- Thunderstorms.

- Thunderstorms?

- You do remember them?

- [ Chuckles ] Just an old bugaboo of mine.

Why, that last spring at school,

it was most astonishing how many

dreadful thunderstorms there were.

- Remember?

- Yes, I remember.

It was most extraordinary.

Why, they lasted for weeks.

Did they really scare you?

I'd rather not talk about it.

[ Playing Louder]

Merle, are you all right?

[ Frenetic]

[Yells] [Screams]

Shep, get me out of here!

[Laughing]

[Queenie Giggling]

All the girls loathed her.

She was a liar and a sneak.

And you know what else, Auntie?

She used to write

poison-pen letters.

That note to the dean

was from her.

Didn't you do

anything about it?

[Laughs] Why do you suppose we had

all the thunderstorms that spring?

Then that was you She was a nervous

wreck by the end of the term.

Did you hear that, Nicky?

Nicky!

Why, Nicky, how clever!

[Giggling]

Yeah, it's nothing really.

Just something I picked up the other day.

Oh, Nicky,

will you ever grow up?

[Giggling]

And, Auntie, you know

something else?

She had a terrible reputation

as a beau snatcher.

Well, isn't that nice?

Now you can't have a single twitch

about taking him away from her.

Why, it wouldn't be anything for you.

Just a few words to Pyewacket.

No, I don't want him that way.

Gillian, you haven't fallen in love

with him and lost your powers?

Of course not. You don't

believe that old wives' tale?

Well, they say it's true. Nonsense.

It's the other way around.

We can't fall in love.

I wonder.

I wonder if I could

get him without tricks.

I wouldn't know, dear.

I could never do it at all.

If you both come in a moment,

you can have your presents now.

After all, it's been Christmas for hours.

Wait a minute. Let me open.

It's my turn now, Nicky.

Let me. Auntie...

Well, really!

If Nicky can, why can't- Auntie!

Yeah.

[Laughing] Gil, I've got

your present with me, dear,

but I'm afraid it's

kind of mingy this year.

I've never been so broke. That's all right, dear.

I like it just the same.

Thank you. Let me do it again. Come on.

No. No, Nicky, that's enough.

[Nicky] Come on, Queenie, it's present time.

Come on, come on.

You know something? You know what I used

to wonder as a kid? Pye, Pye, Pyewacket.

Huh? Oh, Pyewacket.

I always used to wonder why, all through
