Halloweentown Page #5

I need another Cromwell witch,

I need you,

Mother, there are plenty of other witches

and warlocks in Halloweentown,

Why don't you recruit one of them?

Oh, I've tried, You know how it is today,

No one wants to get involved,

Mother, I'm sure that you believe

that there's some kind of problem,

But I can't just leave my kids to go fight

some nameless force in another world

that I have nothing to do with,

Nothing to do with?

Hm,

Well, fine,

Bury your head in the sand

of the precious Mortal World of yours,

Perhaps the Cromwell line

will end with you,

But let's just hope that Halloweentown

doesn't come to an end along with it,

Enjoy your leftovers, dear,

(squawks)

(chickens squawking)

(sighs)

Mother,

Then she talked about all this weird stuff

that's happening in Halloweentown,

like it's a real place,

And then she turned our leftovers

into a live chicken,

standing right there in the bowl,

And that's why I knew that she is a witch,

and so is Mom and so am I!

Because they both said so,

What do you think?

I think it proves insanity is hereditary,

I just hope boys are immune,

(door closing)

It must be, um, one of those

radio-controlled models,

She's leaving, She's going back

to Halloweentown, I gotta go after her,

Go after her?

Are you crazy?

I have to go, If she doesn't start

training me as a witch tonight,

I could lose my powers forever,

You don't really believe

all this witch stuff is true, do ya?

Dylan, haven't you ever wondered

about the stuff that goes on in our house?

No,

Like why Mom won't let us

talk about, watch or read

anything that has the word "magic" in it?

No,

Haven't you ever wondered

why we pretend Halloween doesn't exist?

Or why I have dja vu all the time?

Or why stuff seems to fall off the shelves

whenever Sophie has a tantrum?

- No,

- Well, I have,

And now that I've found out the truth,

I'm not gonna stay here

and turn all boring and human like you,

What do you mean, boring like me?

(man on TV) Tired of that dank,

musty odor in your cellar?

Try the new Spore Buster Deluxe.

It removes mold and fungus

just like magic.

No, it doesn't,

(woman) The house doesn't smell

like mushroom omelets anymore!

(man) Thanks, Spore Buster!

Marnie, wait up!

- What are you doing here?

- I'm the man of the house,

I gotta keep an eye on you, Plus, I'm gonna

have a hard time getting back to sleep

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

Then help me find her,

She's gotta be around here somewhere,

There she is,

Get down,

- Where'd that bus stop come from?

- I don't know, Can I put my shoe on now?

- I'm having the dja vu feeling again,

- You knew I was gonna put on my shoe?

No! This whole thing -
