Halloweentown Page #4

Oh, no, dear, You're very special,

You're a Cromwell!

And since the dawn of time, the Cromwells

have been the most powerful,,,

Mother,

It's getting late, You wouldn't want

to miss your bus back home,

Aw, Grandma has to go?

But can't you stay overnight, Grandma?

Oh, no, dear,

Your mother's quite right,

If I don't head home by midnight, well,

it's just,,, it's a long time until the next bus,

So kiss Grandma good night,

And good night, dear,

Don't let the bogeyman bite!

And I'll be back

to see you all as soon as I can,

That's "lights out," you two,

Mother, I am going to put Dylan to bed,

and then I will meet you

down in the kitchen in one minute,

Of course, dear,

Good night, Grandma,

Bye,

And after I specifically told you

not to tell them anything about it,

I was only trying to do

what you should have done long ago,

Why, you're on the verge

of breaking a tradition

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

Your tradition, Mother, Not mine,

Marnie is my daughter, and if I decide

not to train her like a witch,

then it's none of your business,

A witch's 13th Halloween is supposed

to mark the completion of her training,

If Marnie's training doesn't at least begin

tonight, her powers will be lost forever,

(Gwen) Yes! And she'll finally be human!

She'll finally be normal,

like her brother, like her father

and like Sophie will be after her,

(grunts) Gwen, a human father,

Why, you're only lucky that you have two

children that are showing powers at all!

Do you really want them to go through life

doing things the hard way?

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

when you know leftover chicken

keeps better when it's back on the bone,

Mother, get that thing out of here right now,

(squawks)

(Gwen sighs)

For years, you have been coming here,

You've been dropping hints to Marnie,

and you've been badgering me

to start her training,

I know that that's why you came here

tonight, Mother, But the fight is over,

You know that?

The clock has finally run out,

and you can just go home,

Gwen, as much as I think you're making

a terrible mistake with Marnie,

you're wrong about

why I came here tonight,

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

My help,

With what?

Well, something is wrong at home,

Something's happening,

Every day, I find another neighbor has

changed, Turned hateful, it's frightening,

And soon after that,

they disappear altogether,

Please, Mother, My neighbors disappear

sometimes too, It's called moving,

Oh, Gwendolyn,

I'm quite serious about this,

It's as though something or someone

is trying to return us to the Dark Times,

And I fear my powers alone

may not be enough to stop it,
