Aunt Frances (V.O): They don't hate us, sweetheart. (V. O): We just make them a little nervous. Aunt Frances (V.O): Let's face it, Jet, We Owens women have always created a stir. It all began with your ancestor, Maria. A woman: She was a witch. Aunt Frances (V.O): The first in our family. And you are the most recent in a long and distinguished line. (V.O): Is that why they wanted to hang her? Because she was a witch? (V. O): The fact that she was a bit of a heartbreaker didn't help. Nor did it help that most of her lovers had wives on the hanging committee. Aunt Frances (V.O): But no, I didn't think it was either of those reasons. They feared her because she had a gift a power that has been passed on to you children. She had the gift of magic. And it was this very gift that saved her life. She was vanished to this very island. With her unborn child growing inside her belly. She waited for her lover to rescue her. But he never came. No one came. In a moment of despair, she cat a spell upon herself that she would never again feel the agony of love. But as her bitterness grew the spell turned into a curse.

you the best way we know how. Aunt Jet (V.O): In this house we have chocolate

like bedtimes or brushing our teeth. Aunt Frances (V.O): But with the sweets comes
the sour. Aunt Jet (V.O): So when you find yourself the center of attention Young Gillian: Hi! You want to play? Aunt Jet (V.O): It's not that they hate you. It's that, well... We're different. Girls: You witch! Witch, witch! You're a bitch! === EXT. GARDEN === Aunt Jet: Gillian, Sally. The only curse in
this family is sitting there at the end of the table.

she? Aunt Frances: Yes, my darling girl, she did. Aunt Jet: My little witch. Let's go inside and

He has to leave her now. Aunt Jet: Perhaps you might find one better
suited. A woman: I don't want anyone else. He's all

the air. He'll be marvelously kind. And his favorite
shape will be a star. And he'll have one green eye and
one blue." Young Gillian: Thought you never wanted to fall
in love. Young Sally: That's the point. The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart. And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart. === INT ROOM NIGHT=== Gillian: Get the door. Sal, you have no idea. Sally: Do you love him enough to marry him? Gillian: Oh, come on, Sal, What's enough? I
hate it here. I want to go where no one's even heard
of us. Sally: I feel like I'll never see you again. Gillian: Of course you will. You can see me
again. We'll grow old together. It'll be you and me

history. Aunt Jet: Well, according to that. Sally: This is insane. She keeps going through
all these guys. Aunt Frances: Hopefully, someday she'l find a guy who'll go through her. Aunt Jet: Hello, darling, How are you? Aunt Frances: Oh, Jet, just give it up. Aunt Jet: Never. Sally: God, I miss her. Aunt Jet: Oh, sweetie! Oh, dear. Aunt Frances: Oh, Samson! Now, just knock it
off. Sally: All I want is a normal life. Aunt Frances: My darling girl, when are you
going to understand that "normal" is not necessarily
a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage. Sally: Well, it's what I want. Aunt Jet: See this couple? He's having an affair with the babysitter. And she can eat a cake in under a minute. ===EXT. GARDEN === Aunt Jet: What time is it? Aunt Frances: Any moment now. (to Sally) Where
are you going, dear? Aunt Jet: Most excellent.

I'm lying in the sun. I'm hanging by the pool. I've got a million friends. You might say that life is perfect. But I don't care about any of it.

AUNT'S HOUSE NIGHT=== Sally: It was the curse, wasn't it? He died because I loved him so much! Aunt Frances: My poor little girl. We had no
idea when we cast the spell. Sally: What spell? What are you talking about?
Oh, You didn't. Please tell me that my own flesh and
blood. Aunt Jet: It was just a little push. You wanted
so much to be happy. Aunt Frances: We never expected that you'd truly
love him. Sally: Well, I did. And I want him back. You
brought him into my life. You bring him back! I have
never asked you for anything ! I never asked for spells,
but do this! You can bring him back. Aunt Jet: No, dear. You don't do that! Aunt Frances: You don't do that. Sally: You can do this. I know you can. I remamber.
I found here when Mommy and Daddy died. Aunt Frances: Even if we did bring him back,
it wouldn't be Michael. It'd be something else. Something
dark and unnatural. Sally: I don't care what he comes back as. As long as he comes back. Please do this for me. Please! === EXT AUNT'S HOUSE DAY=== (Sally comes aunt's house with her two chirdren) Sally (V.O) : This is only temporary, don't
get too comfortable. There'll be no chocolate for breakfast.
Homework will be done after dinner teeth and hair brushed
before bed. Sally: And as for you two my children will never do magic. Ever. ===INT. BEDROOM MORNING=== Kylie: Mom? It's time for us to go to school.
Mommy. It's the same time as yesterday and the day before
that, and the day before that. Out of bed, sleepyhead!
I'm worried about Antonia. Do you know she puts on her
mouse ears, she drives around town all liquored up.
Naked! All right. I'll see you around. Sally: Come here, you! I'm sorry, baby. I'm
just so tired Kylie:It's okay, Mommy. Sally: Gilly. ===INT BEDROOM NIGHT=== Gillian: Sally. Jimmy: I was just thinking about you. Gillian: You are always thinking about me. Honey,
I just have to go to the bathroom. Jimmy: Let's go together. Gillian: Jimmy, come on. Jimmy: I'm just kidding. Go. ===INT. BEDROOM NIGHT === (Gillian came home) Sally: I was really, really happy. Sally We
were going to open a botanical shop. Michael'd get the
ingredients. And I'd make the stuff. He really loved
my mint-oatmeal shaving cream. He couldn't stop eating
it. I'm sure all this is really boring to you. But he
really made me lough. Sally: Angelov? What kind of name is that? Gillian: Bulgarian. Sally: Bulgarian? Gillian: Huh, huh. He's from somewhere near
Transylvania. He has this whole Dracula-cowboy thing
about him. He's just so intense. I mean, he talks about
our rerationship in terms of centuries. Sometimes we
just stay up all night worshipping each other like bats.
Thank God for Jet's belladonna or I'd never get any
sleep. Sally: Why are you taking that stuff? Gillian: I'm not using it. I just give it to
him every now and then. That's all. Sally: So you're drugging your boyfriend to
get a little shut-eye? Doesn't that seem strange to
you? Gillian: Maybe. And he's strong. So much stronger
than me. He can survive the curse. Do you forgive our
mother? Sally: Sometimes. Gillian: You'll never forgive yourself unless
you get up and you get dressed and brush your teeth,
because your breath stinks and you take care of those
little girls. Sally: Yeah. You're right. Gillian: I love you. Sally: I love you too, Gilly-Bean. ===EXT. BOTANICAL SHOP=== A boy: How's your wicked mommy doing? Children: Witch! Witch! You're a witch! ===INT. BOTANICAL SHOP=== You'd think, after 300 years, they'd make up a better ryme. ===EXT. BOTANICAL SHOP=== A Mother: Really, you troublemaker started this. Kylie: I hate you! Sally: Put the finger down, Kylie. Kylie: I hope you get chikenpox. Sally: She was just kidding. Antonia: No, she wasn't, Mom. She was not kidding. Sally: What's wrong with you? We do not cast
and we do not toy with people's lives. Do you understand?
This is not a game. Kylie: No, you don't cast. You probably couldn't
even if you tried! She has all this power and doesn't
use it! Antonia: I think you really hurt Mom's feelings. ===INT. HOUSE=== Antonia: Kylie thinks any man who marries us
is going to croak. Aunt Frances: That's such hogwash. What about
your grandparents, Jack and Regina? Kylie: grandma Regina died of broken heart,
didn't she? How could she do that? Leave Mom and Aunt
Gilly behind when they were just little girls? Antonia: Why won't she talk about it? Kylie: Was Mama good at spells as a girl? Why
won't she do spells now? Sally: What's going on in here? Aunt Frances: Nothing. Aunt Jet: Just making toast, is all. Sally: Did you guys finish your homework? As
stom's coming. Go check the windows for me, Okay. (To
Aunt Frances) Making toast? I want you both to watch
what you say to those girls. I don't you filling their
heads with any of your nonsense, okay? Aunt Jet: We'd never tell them nonsense, dear. Sally: Good night, sweetie. ==INT. SALLY'S ROOM=== (Sally writes letter to Gillian) Sally (V.O.) Dearest, Gilly. Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside me an emptiness that, at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, probably you could hear the ocean. And the moon tonight, there's a circle around it. A sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still, sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I've had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but there is no man, Gilly only that moon. (Phone rings) Gillian. ===INT. HOUSE=== Aunt Jet: It's Gillian. Sally: I know. Sally: What's wrong? Gillian: I'm scared. Can you come and get me? Sally: Where are you? I'm taking the first flight
out. Watch the kids. Aunt Jet: Just go to Gilly. The children'll
be fine. We'll take them to the solstic celebration. Sally: Why can't you two just stay here? Aunt Frances: We can't back out. We're on the
committee. We are presenting. Sally: Fine. But I don't want them dancing naked under the full moon. Aunt Jet: No, of course not, dear. Nudity is entirely optional, as you well remember! === INT. MOTEL ROOM NIGHT === Gillian: The room service here sucks. Sally: Let's get you out of here. Gillian: I'm fine. Gillian: He's been really crazy, you know? We've
been driving for 2 weeks straight. I mean, not even
straight. In these zigzags, back and forth. Damn these
shose! Then today he says he wants a jelly doughnut.
An he says to the kid, "Jelly doughnut, with cream."
And the kid looked confused. And I said, "Jimmy,
jelly's not a cream." And then the kid laughed
and I laughed and then he punched me. He punched me
real hard. The bastard! Blood on the moon! Sally: I know. Gillian: Blood on the moon! Sally: I know. Get in the car. Gillian: Where's my tiger's eye? It brings me
luck. I left it. I got to get my tiger's eye! Sally: It's probably in the bag, Gilly! Gillian, come on! === INT. CAR NIGHT === Jimmy: You drive. Jimmy: You want some? Nope. Hey, Sally, you
ever read any books by Louis L'Amour? Okay, Louis L'Amour
is a foreigner and he loved all things cowboy. Just
like me, Jimmy-boy. So Louis would write stories about
rustlers. Rustlers who were really bad guys. Gillian: (To Sally)The belladonna is in my bag. Jimmy: They would try to steal the cattle. But
before they could sell them they would try to take away
the brand of the owner with an acid, or by scrubbing.
Unfortunately, they could never get rid of it. So they
would be caught and get hanged. Sally: What are you doing? Jimmy: Come on! You can't hide the brand. It's
just you and me. (To Sally) Watch the road! Sally: Shut up! Rustlers and branding! Louis
L'Amour by the way is not a foreigner! He's from Noth
Dakota, you asshole! Jimmy: Watch the road! Sally: You're freaking ne out, Dracula freak!
Give me the bottle before I plow you into a truck just
to get you to shut up! Jimmy: Calm down! You know, girls. I'm feeling very into sisters right now. === EXT. ROAD NIGHT === Jimmy: (Singing) You were always on my mind, you were always on my mind... === INT. CAR NIGHT === Gillian: He should've passed out by now. You
don't give him enough? Sally: I gave him plenty. Gillian: What's he going to do? Sally: Just stay calm. (Jimmy gets into the car) Jimmy: (Singing) If I made you feel second best,
I'm so sorry, I was blind. you were always on my mind... Gillian: Jimmy, please, baby. Come on, baby,
I love you. Jimmy: I'm sorry, my love. I want to be with
you forever. Gillian: I love you. Jimmy, please. Gillian: Sal, He's out. He's passed out. Sally: Oh, God! Gillian: Oh, My God! How much did you give him? Sally: I don't know, you know, I wasn't using
a measuring cup! He tried to kill you! Gillian: Come on! === EXT. ROAD NIGHT === Gillian: Please, God, if you get us out of this,
I'll be good. I'll have babies. Sally: I have babies, Gillian. I had normal.
And I worked really hard to get that normal. Gillian: It's all my fault, Sally. I didn't
mean to ruin your life. I just had no one else to turn
to. Sally: Get in the car. Get in the car. We have
to go to the police. It was self-defense. Gillian: The old slowly-poison-him-to-death
self-defense? Come on, Sally, they're never going to
believe us. Sally: You really should stop smoking so much. Gillian: Why? Sally: I'll probably get life. I should smoke
two at once. It'll shorten the sentence. I really don't
want to lose my children. Gillian: I know. I don't want you to either. Sally: What are you thinking? Gillian: When Muchael died, you asked the aunts
to bring him back. Sally: But they wouldn't. Gillian: Wouldn't. but couldn't. Sally: No, They were right. He'd come back as
something dark and unnatural. Gillian: Jimmy already is dark and unnatural.
I don't care what he comes back as. Sally: No, that is not an option. That is not
a choice. Gillian: We don't have a choice, Sally! This is our choice! === INT HOUSE NIGHT === Sally: You owe me big-time. Gillian: Watch his balls. Sally: You watch them (Jimmy's on the table) Gillian: Okay, Jimmy, I will get you out of
this but when I do, we are definitely breaking up. It
is over. Sally: What are you doing? Gillian: Nothing. Sally: Are you sure you want to do this. Gillian: Absolutely. (They cast spells) Sally: "Lips pursed, emit wind over tongue
in motion, teeth on edge. Gillian: Good enough, good enough. Sally: "Touch bounded smudge of blue sage
with braided wheat staw. insert needles through eyes
of corpse." Gillian: Through the eye? Sally: n the eye. No way. Gillian: I think we should wait for the aunts. Sally:It's not like he's going to stay fresh. It's now or never. I need for you to get me something white to write on top of the star. Chop-chop! This is good. === INT. BEDROOM MIDNIGHT === Gillian: Wakey-wakey! Sally: Midnight margaritas! Come on! === INT. KITCHEN MIDNIGHT === Aunt Frances: I see a man in your future and
he is gorgeous. Gillian: He's big. But you're scared to death
and you wind up like a frigid old hag. With your two
frigid old hag aunts. I don't know where that came from.
That was weird. Aunt Jet: She's never been interested in her
gifts. She just made that all up. Aunt Frances: Don't lie. Gillian has her own
magic. And we all know what it is. Sally: Oh, please. Since when is being a slut
a crime in this family? Aunt Frances: What would you know about it? Aunt Frances: When we put that spell on you
for Michael we had to bind it with molasses just to
get your legs to open up. Gillian: You self-centered shrew! Aunt Jet: Igrate! Gillian: Witch! ===INT. BEDROOM MIDNIGHT === Aunt Frances: A lesson they must learn on their
own. Aunt Jet: What about the little ones? Aunt Frances: Not to worry, Jetty. A good piece
of Maria's hanging rope will protect them. Aunt Jet: You must promise us you won't take
them off. Not until we come home. Aunt Frances: We'll only be gone a short while. Aunt Jet: Do you hear us? Promise? ===INT. PORCH=== Sally: It was a very personal letter. Gary Hallet: Yes, ma'am, it was. Gillian: Hello, there. Gary Hallet: I'm not going to beat around the
bush. I need to find your boyfriend, James Angelvo. Gillian: I don't know where he is. I wouldn't
exactly call him my boyfriend. He's more like a bug
mistake. Gary Hallet: Is that his handiwork there? Gillian: If a man hits me, he only does it once. Can I take a peek at your ===INT. DOOR MORNING === Antonia: you came for breakfast. Gary Hallet: I just came to talk to your mom. Antonia: Great! She's having pancakes, too.
Do you have a gun? Can I see it? (To Sally) He's here
for breakfast. Gary Hallet: I have a question or two. === INT. KITCHEN MORNING === Antonia: He's going to stay! Gillian: Oh, good! Good work. Now go back out there and keep them away from here. ===INT. POACH MORNING === Sally: Berradonna. It's a sedative. People put
it in their tea to relax, calm their nerves. Gary Hallet: Some people also use it as a poison. Sally: Witch people. Gary Hallet: Witch people. Witches. Sally: I guess you found me out, huh? Gary Hallet: Yes, I did. Sally: You should come here on Halloween. You'd
really see something. We all jump off the roof and fly.
We kill our husband too. Or is that outside your jurisdiction? Gary Hallet: Do you have any idea how strange
this all sounds to me? I got people telling me you're
here cooking up placenta bars you're into devil worship. Sally: No, there's no devil in the craft. Gary Hallet: So what kind of a craft do you
do? Sally: Do I do? I manufacture bath oils and
soaps and hand lotions and shampoo. And the aunts ..
they like to meddle in people's love lives. Magic isn't
just spells and potions. Your badge , it's just a star,
Just another symble. Your talisman. It can't stop ciminals
in their tracks, can it? It has power because you believe
it does. Wish you could believe in me. Gary Hallet: Miss Owens, are you hiding James
Angelov? Sally: Not in this house. Gary Hallet: Did you or your sister kill James
Angelov? Sally: Oh, Yeah. Couple of times. ===INT. KITCHEN === Sally: Antonia, could you make more of a mess? Antonia: Mom, I'm cooking. Sally: I can see that. Gary Hallet: Hey, there. Did you ever seen a saguaro cactus? Step aside, you. Well, you are about to. (Gary cooks.) === INT. GARDEN === Gary Hallet: I assume you don't want pancakes. Kylie: No, we want them! W e want them! Sally: Be careful. They tend to use those as
Frisbees. Kylie: Can you ride a pony backwards? Gary Hallet: Backwards, forwards, sideways,
you name it. Sally: Okay, first troll. Antonia: Look! Kylie: A star! Sally: This is not yours. Gary Hallet: That's all right. Sally: Second troll. ===INT. KITCHEN=== Gillian: We just stick to our stories. No body,
no crime. I'm sorry. I'm feeling like shit. I'm not
sleeping. I . Me. Mine. Sally: That's all you can think about, isn't
it? You. Gillian: It's all about you. I don't want to
fight. Sally: Don't walk away from me. I'm sick and
tired of cleaning up your messes. Gillian: Yeah, you are right. You are always
right. I'm just a mess. Just one big mess! At least
I've lived my life. You hate me for it because it scares
the hell out of you. Sally: Gillian, I don't hate you. Gillian: look at you! You spend all your energy
trying to fit in, be normal! But you'll never fit in.
Because we're different! And so are your girls. Sally: You leave them out of this. Okay? Gillian: All my life, I've wished I had half
your talent. You're wasting yourself, Sal! Sally: I want you out of here. I want you done. Gillian: Okay, fine. I'm gone. Sally: Good.
Gary Hallet: What was that, Sally? That was
him, wasn't it? Is he gone or what? Sally: Yes, you killed his spirit, but I know
I took his life. I'll tell you all need to know. I'll
tell you how I did it, where I buried him, what I did
it with. I'll tell you how Gary Hallet: Wow, wow wow, Hold on just a goodamn
second, all right? One step at a time. I took on oath
to uphold the law. I came here to bring in the bad guy
because generally that's what I do. You asked me how
many times I read your letter. I must've read it about
a thousand times. I know now, It was your letter anything
else that brought me here. It was you. And I'm all mixed-up
about that. Sally: The reason you're here and you don't
know why is because I sent for you. When I was a little
girl, I worked a spell so I would never fall in love.
I asked for qualities in a man that I knew couldn't
possibly exist. Gary Hallet: One green eye, one blue? Sally: But you do. Gary Hallet: You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells? Sally: Yeah. It's not real. And if you stay,
I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell and you
wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go
to prison. Gary Hallet: You know, all relationships have
problem. Sally: I'm right, aren't I? You don't know,
do you? Gary Hallet: Why don't you do what you do and
what I do. and we'll see where we end up. Okay? Sally: Okay. Gary Hallet: Curses only have power when you believe in them. And I don't. You know what? I wished for you too. ===INT. ROOM NIGHT=== Gillian (James inside): I'm feeling very into
sisters right now. Sally: Come on! (Aunts and children comes back home) Aunt Jet: It seems we've not arrived in the
nick of time. Aunt Frances: I see our instincts are getting a little rusty. Aunt Jet: He's squatting inside her like a toad.
This is what comes from dabbling. You can't practice
witchcraft while you look down your nose at it. Sally: I know. Just tell me what to do and I'll
do it. Aunt Frances: We must banish him. Aunt Jet: Force his spirit back to the grave. Aunt Frances: We need a full coven. Nine women. Aunt Jet: Twelve's better Aunt Frances: Do you have any friends? === INT. KITCHEN NIGHT === (Sally calls on the phone) Sally: Linda, it's Sally. I'm activating the
phone tree. You know the stuff everyone whispers about
me... the hexes, the spells? Here is the thing. I'm
a witch! Woman D: I got the best news. Sally just came
out. Woman A: What a fabulous affirmation. Woman F: Her sister just got out of a bad relationship and now the guy won't leave her alone. Can you bring a bloom. ===EXT. GARDEN NIGHT=== Kylie: I see headlights. Antonia: Mom, they're here! Come on ! They're
here! Woman F: It's in the kitchen! Antonia: In the side door! ===INT. KITCHEN NIGHT=== Aunt Jet: Come in! It's so good of you to come. No, now's not time to be shy. Come on in. Grab yourselves a spoon. You can stir right over there. Aunt Frances: You get right over here and grab that spoon and dig right in. Doesn't that look great? And the fumes are great for the pores. Not to mention sealing his nasty spirit back into the grave. Woman A: Once, I was across town, my daughter
had a nightmare. I swear, I could hear her crying. Aunt Jet:There's a little witch in all of us. Sally: Everything's almost ready, Aunt Jet.
(to Sara) I didn't expect to see you here. Sara: Ever since I was a girl, I've wanted to
see inside your house. Sally: Thank you for coming. Woman F: Is this okay? It's all I had. Aunt Frances: Well, ladies, let's begin. ===INT. ROOM NIGHT=== Aunt Frances: All right, ladies, pick a broom
from a circle. Woman A: Holy shit! Woman B: I've been strung out by a guy before,
but this Aunt Jet: Would each of you pick up your brooms? Hold them at staff length, handle to brush. Remember that as we go forth. It is only with our hearts beating as one that we can save the life of this child. (Aunt Frances starts spelling) Woman C: Are we supposed to say this? (Everyone spells to get rid of James's spirit from Gillian) Sally: Stop it! We're killing her. Gillian (James): Fight this, you bitch! Sally: Oh, God! Oh, God! Gilly! Gilly, Honey! Gillian: It's okay. I love you. Sally: Stay with me. Gillian: Please, just let him take me. Sally: No, you have to hold on. Gill, you have
to stay with me. Gilly, No, stay with me. Gilly, No,
stay with me. Gillian: No, he wants me. Just me. Everyone
will be safe. Just let him take me. Sally: Don't die on me, Gilly Owens, please.
Because we're supposed to die together, remember? The
same time. You promised me that. And this is not that
day. Gillian: I love you, Sally. Sally: Okay, wait. I've got it. Get them back in a circle. Sally: Hey, Jimmy, I got a worm with your name
on it. You thirsty? Is this is what you want? Well,
this ...you can't have. My blood. Your blood. Our blood. Aunt Frances: Maria's blood. Now! Push her in. Sally: I love you, Gillian. Woman A: We did it. Aunt Frances: Hands up. ladies. Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust. Woman C: I wonder if that would work on my ex-husband? Woman A: Come on, ladies, let's clean house! Sally: Through kitchen. Follow me. Woman A: Well done. Sally: Sweep him to the roses. ===EXT. GARDEN DAY=== Gillian: Hey! There's something for you. Sally: From Arizona. Sally (V.O.): "Dear Miss Owens: Any further
investigations. Office hereby concluded James Angelvo's
cause of death was accidental. Jewely in ashes of structure
