• [last lines] 

  Darrin Stephens : [Sam is reading Aunt Clara's Book of Spellees]  Honey, how about some coffee? Sam. Sam.

  Samantha Stephens : Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart, I didn't hear you.

  Darrin Stephens : Well, that Book Of Spellees must be pretty interesting.

  Samantha Stephens : Well, it ought to be. It was banned in Boston.

  Aunt Clara : Have you got to Darrin's name yet?

  Samantha Stephens : Oh?

  Darrin Stephens : My name? My name is in there?

  Samantha Stephens : Now, just a minute. Uh-huh. Yes, here it is. Right there. See?

  Darrin Stephens : Oh, well, what does it say?

  Samantha Stephens : It says you're going to marry a witch and live happily ever after.

  Darrin Stephens : Does it really say that?

  Samantha Stephens : No. But it's true. I'm a witch, and I know.

• [first lines] 

  Adam Newlarkin : Well, I certainly appreciate you letting me stay here. I'll try not to be too much bother.

  Darrin Stephens : We're glad to have you Adam. It'll be like old times.

  Adam Newlarkin : Not quite, Darrin. The food we had in the army was never like this.

  Samantha Stephens : Why, thank you. You can stay as long as you like.

  Adam Newlarkin : Well, actually, it won't be more than a couple of days. I have an appointment for a job tomorrow, and if I land it, I'll be looking around for a place of my own.

• Samantha Stephens : [there is a loud crashing noise]  Aunt Clara?

  [Sam opens the back door] 

  Samantha Stephens : Aunt Clara?

  [Sam opens the broom cupboard and finds Aunt Clara in there] 

  Aunt Clara : Well, I've heard of coming in on a wing and a prayer, but, really, this is ridiculous.

• Aunt Clara : Now, where is the young man that you're so worried about?

  Samantha Stephens : Oh, ah, Adam Newlarkin. He's gone to his interview. Aunt Clara, it's getting worse. It's getting worse. Last night, he fell out of bed three times. And this morning, when he was shaving, he cut his toe.

  Aunt Clara : Cut his toe?

  Samantha Stephens : He dropped his electric razor on it. Now, I hope I'm wrong, but he has all the symptoms, so I thought we'd better check.

  Aunt Clara : Yes, well - Well let us see now. Er, er, what's his name?

  Samantha Stephens : Newlarkin. Adam Newlarkin.

  Aunt Clara : Oh. Yes. Yes.

  [looks in her Book Of Spellees] 

  Aunt Clara : Hmm-hmm... He has a spell on him, alright.

  Samantha Stephens : Oh, Aunt Clara, are you sure?

  Aunt Clara : Oh, yes. He's right here on the list of spellees. Right between the New York Mets and Richard Nixon.

  Samantha Stephens : Evidently, one of his ancestors, also named Adam Newlarkin, was a judge in Salem. He sentenced a witch named Zorelda to some terrible things, that included being dunked three times in the local pond.

  Aunt Clara : What's the spell?

  Samantha Stephens : Oh, it's... Oh... Uh-oh... Oh, this is terrible. Look.

  Aunt Clara : That's a lulu, isn't it?

  Samantha Stephens : Poor Adam.

• Samantha Stephens : [referring to the spell on Adam in Aunt Clara's Book Of Spellees]  It's no good shaking your head, Darrin. Tomorrow, Adam will be exactly the same age as the judge when he sentenced Zorelda.

  Darrin Stephens : Oh, Sam...

  Samantha Stephens : Believe me. Believe me, that spell will take effect by five p.m. tomorrow. It's all here in red and white.

  Darrin Stephens : Just because it's written in some crazy... - Red and white?

  Samantha Stephens : It's thicker than ink.

• Samantha Stephens : Adam, you're bewitched, and you only have ten minutes to get unbewitched.
