Quotes 

• Aunt Clara : [to Darrin]  Oh, yes, now, don't you worry. Samantha, she'll manage everything. Where there's a witch, there's a way, you know.

• Darrin Stephens : Aunt Clara, Adam was curious about why you collect doorknobs.

  Aunt Clara : Oh, that's easy. Because they're there.

• [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.

• 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.
