Quotes
-
Bonnie : We were just wondering; do you still have any powers?
Rochelle : 'Cause we don't.
[Bonnie shots her a look]
Rochelle : Sorry.
Sarah : So, if you ever just want to hang out and chant or call the corners...
Sarah : [scathing] Maybe. Hold your breath until I call.
[Turns away]
Rochelle : [as she and Bonnie start walking away] She probably doesn't have any powers anyway.
Sarah : [Turns around with a look of concentration. Wind blows, clouds cover the sky. Lightening flashes; a bolt hitting a tree branch which falls close to Bonnie and Rochelle. They stumble to the ground to avoid it, and the sky returns to normal. Sarah stares at them with a hard expression] Be careful. You don't want to end up like Nancy.
-
Nancy : [Performing the spell to evoke the spirit; calling the corners] Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the East, the powers of air and invention. Hear me! Us! Hear us!
Bonnie : Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the South, the powers of fire and feeling. Hear us.
Rochelle : Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the West, powers of water and intuition. Hear us.
Sarah : Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the North, by the powers of mother and earth. Hear us.
Nancy : Aid us in our magical workings on this May's eve.
[pause]
Nancy : [Continues with a new chant] Serpent of old, ruler of the deep. Guardian of the bitter sea. Show us your glory. Show us your power! We pray of thee, we pray of thee. We invoke thee.
[lightening crashes]
-
Rochelle : You guys, maybe he'll really listen to us now.
Sarah : Who?
Rochelle : Manon.
Sarah : What's that? That's like God?
Bonnie : No. Man invented God. This is much older then that.
Sarah : Do you guys worship the devil?
[the other three girls laugh at Sarah]
Nancy : No. It's like God and the Devil. I mean, it's everything. It's the trees, it's the ground, it's the rocks, it's the moon... it's everything.
Sarah : It's nature.
Nancy : If God and the Devil were playing football, Manon would be the stadium that they played on. It would be the sun that shone down on them.
-
Nancy : [noticing Sarah's cuts] What's up with that?
Sarah : [embarrassed] I slit my wrists.
Bonnie : What you'd do it with?
Sarah : A-a kitchen knife.
Bonnie : [surprised] You even did it the right way.
Sarah : Yeah...
Nancy : [reassuring her] PUNK ROCK! Let's go.
Rochelle : The right way? How do you know the right way?
Bonnie : [defensive] Shut up Rochelle.
Rochelle : Well how do you know?
-
Rochelle : All these songs are by Connie Francis.
Grace : Yeah, isn't that great? Since I was a little girl all I've wanted in life was a jukebox that played nothing but Connie Francis records.
Bonnie : That's great.
Rochelle : Who's Connie Francis?
Grace : Who's Connie Francis? Honey, listen and learn! Connie Francis!
-
Nancy : So hot-stuff how did it go?
Sarah : How did what go?
Nancy : Your date with Chris.
Rochelle : Chris already told everybody.
Sarah : [confused] Told everybody what?
Bonnie : That you guys "did it".
Sarah : But we didn't... do it.
Nancy : Well then he was just trying to save-face because he's going around the whole school saying that you were the "lousiest lay he's EVER had" and coming from him that's pretty bad.
Sarah : [looking over to the other girls in the classroom who were giggling] UH UH.
[hoping it wasn't true]
Rochelle : He said the same stuff about Nancy.
Nancy : Told you he was a jerk.
-
Bonnie : [to an attractive passer-by] Hi!
[he continues walking]
Bonnie : Don't be shy honey. Nice ass!
Rochelle : Bonnie!
Bonnie : What? He has a cute butt.
Sarah : You're a slut.
Rochelle : Maybe you should ask him out.
Sarah : You know it.
Bonnie : [laughs] Yeah, "Hey, I like your butt. Do you want to have dinner?"
-
Sarah : [Teaching the game "light as a feather; stiff as a board] You take your index finger and your middle finger and put it under her like this
[Nancy, Sarah, and Bonnie all put their two fingers under Rochelle]
Sarah : [Continuing] Now you have to imagine that she's incredibly light; like she's made of air.
Bonnie : Is that her whole body or just her head?
[laughs]
Rochelle : Cow!
Sarah : Guys, concentrate or it's not gonna work.
Nancy : [everyone is silent briefly, until Nancy laughs] I think I sprained my finger.
Rochelle : Shut up!
[Bonnie laughs]
Sarah : [Trying not to smile] Guys, focus! Ready?
Nancy , Sarah , Bonnie : [they start chanting] Light as a feather, stiff as a board. Light as a feather, stiff as a board
[They keep chanting until Rochelle is raised over two feet in the air]
Sarah : [opens her eyes] Holy shit.
[Bonnie and Nancy stare, speechless]
Rochelle : [Eyes closed] You guys, it's not working.
[opens her eyes and sees she's suspended in mid air]
Rochelle : Wow.
Sarah : Shut up or you're gonna fall!
Rochelle : How do I get down? Whose got the instructions?
Sarah : Just concentrate.
[All are quiet until Bonnie's mom knocks on the door, entering the room just as Rochelle drops to the floor]
Rochelle : Ow! My butt!
-
Bonnie : [about running away when the snake man is hit by a car] The car hit him, and we made it happen!
Nancy : [diplomatic] Maybe, maybe not.
Bonnie : [Excited] Definitely! I thought to myself, "it's going to hit him".
Rochelle : [also excited] I thought it too!
Nancy : Well, I did too...
Bonnie : Sarah, did you think it?
Sarah : [Slightly apprehensive] Yeah.
Bonnie : Then that's it, Sarah's the forth! North, South, East, and West; we can make things happen! This is it, this is real.
Nancy : [Finally starting to share the excitement] Shit.
-
Bonnie : The almanac says today will bring an arrival or something.
Nancy : Yeah, wonderful. I'm getting my rag.
Bonnie : A new wholeness and with it a new balance, earth air, fire, water... maybe it's our fourth!
Nancy : We don't need a fourth.
Bonnie : Nancy, We need someone to call the corners; North, South, East, and West.
Rochelle : Four would make a circle
Nancy : Maybe she could be our fourth?
[motions to female security guard]
Nancy : I love a woman in uniform!
-
Nancy : [Driving] Can you guys tell me what color that light is?
Sarah : It's red.
Nancy : [keeps driving, puts on a faux confused voice] Doesn't red mean stop?
Bonnie : [Playfully] Yeah, red means stop.
[Nancy continues driving, the red light turns green just as they reach it]
Sarah : [concerned] It's like what Lirio was talking about; throwing things out of balance. I know you guys think we're getting what we want now, but it's going to come back to us, threefold.
Bonnie : [Mockingly] Ohh!
Nancy : Are we actually having a theological conversation here. I mean it's fun, it's scary. I mean, who gives a shit?
[Bonnie and Rochelle giggle in the backseat]
Sarah : [Turning to them] What do you guys think?
Nancy : [dismissively] They don't think
Rochelle : [mock offended] Bitch!
[Bonnie continues to giggle]
Nancy : [Turns to Sarah] And stop trying to win them over, because it won't work.
Rochelle : [Slightly annoyed] I'm not trying to win them over, you're paranoid.
Nancy : [Angry] I'm paranoid? I'm not paranoid!
[Bonnie and Rochelle start repeating the word "paranoid", contiguously laughing historically]
Nancy : Will you guys shut up!
[to Sarah]
Nancy : You want in or do you want to leave this circle? Just tell me right now.
Sarah : [Raising her voice slightly] Why does it always have to be that way with you Nancy?
Nancy : [Very angry] Because that's the way it is!
Sarah : [Sarah's tone calms down, but remains firm] All I'm saying is, I think you should *think*.
[pause]
Sarah : Add I don't want out.
[Takes on a warning tone]
Sarah : One of these times, the light's not gonna be green, Nancy.
-
Rochelle : [tentative] Sarah?
Bonnie : [also tentative, but slightly more confident] Hi Sarah, how are you?
Sarah : [Slightly scornful] Good, then again I can sleep at night so... how are *you*.
Rochelle : We... want to apologize. We feel really bad about...
Sarah : [Cuts her off] Trying to kill me?
-
Sarah : [Performing a glamor spell] This is to feel/This is to be/Shape and form it/For all to see
[moves her hands to cover her eyes]
Sarah : By the power of three times three/As I will it/So shall it be!
[Uncovers her eyes in a ta-da move]
Rochelle : [Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle look around, confused] What?
Sarah : My eyes are brown.
[they move in closer to look]
Bonnie : [unimpressed] Oh.
Sarah : [explaining] They're usually green.
Bonnie : [Still lackluster] Oh.
Nancy : [sounding unimpressed to the point of annoyance] You can do that with contacts.
Bonnie : [Reassuringly] Yeah, but it's good. I mean, it suits you.
Rochelle : [lackluster] Subtle.
[adds reassuringly]
Rochelle : but good!
Sarah : You want something bigger?
Nancy : [Now excited] I want bigger!
-
Bonnie : I drink of my sisters, and I take into myself the power to be beautiful, outside as well as in.
-
Bonnie : Some of these football dicks make their girlfriends come and watch them practice as if it's interesting.
-
Bonnie's mother : [interrupting a levitation spell, which sends Rochelle crashing to the floor] What's going on in here?
Bonnie : [obviously lying] Nothing, why?
Bonnie's mother : Are you girls getting high?
-
Sarah : [Braiding a piece of Laura's hair into Rochelle's hair] Laura really has split ends.
Rochelle : Really?
Sarah : I guess that confirms she's not a naturally blond.
Rochelle : [Jokingly] Bleach.
[Serious]
Rochelle : What do you think'll happen to Laura?
Sarah : I don't know. If she leaves you alone, nothing'll happen to her, nothing good.
Rochelle : Fat chance.
[Sees the picture of Sarah's Mom]
Rochelle : Who's that?
Sarah : Oh, that's my real Mother.
Rochelle : Well, where is she?
Sarah : She died while she was having me.
Rochelle : [Shocked] Sorry.
Sarah : It's okay.
[Rochelle looks over at Nancy and Bonnie, with Nancy helping Bonnie her spell to remove her scars]
Bonnie : Manon, take my scars, give me beauty outside as well as in. Manon, take my scars. Take my scars. Take my scars. Take my scars. Take my scars.
-
Nancy : [Sarah comes rushing down the hallway, runs into the Girls' Bathroom, into a stall, locks the door behind and sits down, still traumatized from her nightmare; the lock on the stall door begins to unlock itself, until the door is swung open with Sarah being surprised by Nancy, Bonnie, & Rochelle] There you are. We've been looking everywhere for you. You okay?
Sarah : Yeah, I'm fine.
Rochelle : We heard the police came to your house. They came to mine, too.
Sarah : Yeah, well, I didn't tell them anything.
[Standing up and coming out of the stall]
Nancy : Then, why do you wanna leave the circle?
Sarah : I didn't say-...
Nancy : You didn't need to say it, you're thinking it.
[Smiles, tapping on the side of her own head]
Sarah : Look, Nancy, people are dead, okay? Chris and Ray-...
Bonnie : - -Those were accidents.
Nancy : They deserved it.
Sarah : Says who?
Nancy : Says me and you know it's true.
Sarah : Fine, whatever, I'm out.
Nancy : Fine. That's fine. We don't really need a fourth anymore, do we, girls?
Bonnie : No.
Rochelle : Mm-mmm.
Nancy : If you're thinking of leaving the circle, you might want to think about leaving the school.
Bonnie : And the city, too. We're not so sure.
Rochelle : Or the planet.
Nancy : And, please, don't do any more spells on me.
Sarah : But, I didn't.
Nancy : You know, in the old days... if a witch betrayed her coven... they would kill her.
[Sarah stands there, scared, and in tears; They turn to leave]
Nancy : Bye
[She leaves the bathroom]
Rochelle : [as she is walking out of the bathroom] Sweet dreams, Sarah.
Bonnie : How have you been sleeping?
[Sarah stares back at Bonnie, with a tear streaming down her face, as Bonnie shoots Sarah an evil smile]
-
Sarah : [Coming down the stairs, facing Nancy, Bonnie, and Rochelle, who are standing in the living room] Where are my Dad and Jenny?
Nancy : Oh, you'll be seeing them soon. You're going to kill yourself, tonight, my dear.
Sarah : No, I'm not.
Nancy : [Nancy, Bonnie, and Rochelle rise up off the ground, flying in mid-air; Nancy laughs] Surprise.
Sarah : No.
Nancy : Really? Look in your eyes tells me you might not be so sure. After all, you have every reason in the world to do it. I mean, you killed, you killed Chris and you killed your Mom. You killed Mom when you were coming out of her, now that is really special. Even I couldn't go that low.
[Applauding]
Nancy : BRAVO!
Sarah : [Crying] Stop it, please!
Rochelle : What's the deal? Why doesn't she use magic on us?
Nancy : BECAUSE SHE'S WEAK! Weak, weak, weak!
Sarah : [Crying more] No, please.
Nancy : Oh, God, you're so disgusting. Now is the end, let her go in peace.
Nancy , Bonnie , Rochelle : Now is the end, let her go in peace. Now is the end, let her go in peace. Now is the end, let her go in peace. Now is the end, let her go in peace.
[a suicide note drops to the floor, reading "I killed Chris. I'm sorry. Sarah"]
Sarah : I didn't write that.
Nancy : Doesn't matter. Handwriting still looks the same. What's wrong with your scar, Sarah?
[She looks down, as Nancy slashes Sarah's wrists with an athame, then laughs]
Sarah : It isn't real.
Nancy : Then why are you still bleeding?
[She then swipes a few drops of blood onto the note]
Nancy : Run. Run back up to your room like the little coward that you are.
[She runs back upstairs]
Nancy : That's right. She's so PATHETIC!

Homeroom Teacher : Homeroom starts at 8:45 sharp!
Bonnie : [Not caring] Sorry, my pedicure ran late.
