498
00:37:17,652 --> 00:37:21,407
Maybe this is one of those things
that burn themselves out.
499
00:37:21,489 --> 00:37:23,787
If it is, it's a whale of a fire.
500
00:37:26,327 --> 00:37:30,924
Shep, it has hit me hard.
501
00:37:43,511 --> 00:37:47,106
Good morning, Pyewacket.
Good morning. [Meows]
502
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:50,607
[Bell jingling]
503
00:37:52,687 --> 00:37:54,610
[Sighs]
504
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:01,121
Mmm, Pyewacket.
505
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:06,542
Have we done something
dreadful? Hmm?
506
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:16,048
Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
507
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:27,564
[ Thinking ] Merle, I've been taking stock.
I'd make an impossible husband.
508
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,234
Well, things I've never told' you.
509
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:34,904
I-I gargle. I eat radishes.
510
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:39,239
I chew tobacco. I spit.
511
00:38:48,493 --> 00:38:52,748
[ Thinking ] I'm an insomniac.
Don't sleep at all.
512
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:57,257
I stomp around the bedroom
all night long, talking to myself.
513
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:59,429
[Doorbell Buzzes]
514
00:39:02,924 --> 00:39:05,302
Besides all that, I snore.
515
00:39:05,426 --> 00:39:07,645
What? You won't be happy with me, Merle.
Not at all.
516
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:10,140
Oh, Shep, what's the matter with you?
Matter?
517
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:13,860
Well, I don't know exactly.
You look green.
518
00:39:13,935 --> 00:39:17,030
Darling, I hope you haven't too
much of a hangover from last night.
519
00:39:17,105 --> 00:39:19,358
No, you're just nervous
You'll be all right.
520
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,035
Bonita phoned from Westport. She's found a minister
for us, and he'll be ready for us at 1:00.
521
00:39:23,111 --> 00:39:25,330
He even arranges
for the photographers.
522
00:39:25,446 --> 00:39:27,869
Isn't it exciting?
It's no good, Merle.
523
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:32,037
It's just no good.
No use.
524
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,044
Are you still drunk?
525
00:39:35,123 --> 00:39:37,376
No, I'm not drunk
I'm not drunk.
526
00:39:37,458 --> 00:39:39,586
I may be intoxicated,
but not drunk.
527
00:39:43,464 --> 00:39:45,717
You're certainly
not acting like yourself.
528
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,894
No, I'm not.
529
00:39:47,969 --> 00:39:49,892
You're almost like another person.
530
00:39:49,971 --> 00:39:53,396
That's exactly the way I feel, Merle-
like another person.
531
00:39:53,474 --> 00:39:56,398
And I just don't seem to want
to marry you any longer.
532
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:59,401
And you wouldn't want me to marry you
when I don't want to, would you?
533
00:40:01,316 --> 00:40:05,822
Are you trying to say you're...
jilting me?
534
00:40:05,904 --> 00:40:08,908
That's a very heavy word, Merle.
That's a very heavy word.
535
00:40:08,990 --> 00:40:13,336
Let's just say that we're uncoupling.
536
00:40:14,329 --> 00:40:16,081
You sound like a lunatic.
537
00:40:16,164 --> 00:40:18,587
Yes, that's very true.
538
00:40:18,666 --> 00:40:20,589
Very true.
539
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:22,170
Merle...
540
00:40:24,005 --> 00:40:27,100
I'm sorry, Merle.
I can't really explain this.
541
00:40:27,175 --> 00:40:29,928
I don't fully understand it myself.
542
00:40:30,011 --> 00:40:33,140
What am I supposed to tell people?
543
00:40:33,222 --> 00:40:35,099
Just what do you expect me to do?
544
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:39,780
You could go back to Arthur O'Neill,
the fellow you jilted.
545
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:42,949
Or you could take a world cruise.
546
00:40:43,024 --> 00:40:48,326
You could redecorate this apartment.
It really needs it, Merle.
547
00:40:48,446 --> 00:40:51,916
You are a vile, sleazy-
Uh-huh.
548
00:40:52,033 --> 00:40:54,161
Contemptible-
Uh-huh. I'm a cad.
549
00:40:57,205 --> 00:40:59,173
Good-bye, Merle.
550
00:41:04,837 --> 00:41:06,931
Almost forgot my hat.
551
00:41:10,385 --> 00:41:11,853
Oop. Sorry.
552
00:41:11,928 --> 00:41:14,022
Excuse me. Taxi!
553
00:41:20,687 --> 00:41:22,564
Good morning, Tina.
Nice Christmas?
554
00:41:22,689 --> 00:41:25,442
Oh, very nice.
And yours, Mr. Henderson? Superb.
555
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:38,622
The mail is on your desk,
and Mr. White is in,
556
00:41:38,705 --> 00:41:40,628
and the Faulkner galleys
are ready.
557
00:41:40,707 --> 00:41:43,802
And that gentleman
is waiting to see you.
558
00:41:43,876 --> 00:41:47,471
Bergdorf called about that negligee
you wanted sent to Miss Kittridge.
559
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:52,644
I see. Tina, why don't you just have them
send that to your house? Hmm?
560
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,098
And I'm not going to have lunch
with Miss Kittridge, or dinner.
561
00:41:56,222 --> 00:41:59,647
So you can just cancel all those reservations.
You mean you've broken up with that...
562
00:41:59,726 --> 00:42:02,605
And we don't want to have a perfectly
good negligee go to waste, do we?
563
00:42:04,147 --> 00:42:07,777
Uh, Mr. Henderson,
I'm Sidney Redlitch.
564
00:42:07,859 --> 00:42:12,080
You don't know me, but, uh,
I think I want to see you.
565
00:42:12,155 --> 00:42:14,874
- You're who?
- Redlitch.
566
00:42:14,949 --> 00:42:16,917
Magic in Mexico.
567
00:42:16,993 --> 00:42:18,961
Magic in Mexico?
568
00:42:21,164 --> 00:42:23,542
Oh, of course.
569
00:42:23,624 --> 00:42:26,594
Uh, Redlitch.
Well, I'm glad to see you.
570
00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:29,593
I'm astonished to see you.
Here, sit down.
571
00:42:29,672 --> 00:42:32,266
Yeah, I was just talking
to some...
572
00:42:32,341 --> 00:42:34,719
I was talking to some people
just the other night about you.
573
00:42:34,844 --> 00:42:39,020
Only I understood you were in Mexico
Yeah, that's, uh- that's right.
574
00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:45,614
[Sighs] You see, there is this new
book that I'm about to get into.
575
00:42:45,688 --> 00:42:48,783
And all of a sudden
I get this urge,
576
00:42:48,858 --> 00:42:52,829
this uncontrollable urge
to talk with you about it.
577
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:58,627
First, I figured I'd write to you.
Then I thought maybe I'd phone.
578
00:42:58,701 --> 00:43:01,420
All of a sudden
I decided I had to see you.
579
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:04,921
Sol grabbed a plane,
and here I am.
580
00:43:04,999 --> 00:43:09,755
[Shudders] I didn't expect this kind of weather.
It's chilly here, isn't it?
581
00:43:09,837 --> 00:43:13,762
- Yeah.
- [Sighs]
582
00:43:15,676 --> 00:43:17,644
Are you looking for something?
583
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:22,692
Um, a little, um,
post-Christmas cheer?
584
00:43:22,767 --> 00:43:24,644
Oh, certainly. Tina, get the...
585
00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:28,197
- Scotch? Bourbon?
- It doesn't make any difference.
586
00:43:29,941 --> 00:43:33,115
Uh, sit down.
Oh, thank you.
587
00:43:34,362 --> 00:43:35,705
Listen, um...
588
00:43:36,989 --> 00:43:38,662
Mr. Henderson.
589
00:43:40,701 --> 00:43:43,420
You ever publish anything
on witchcraft?
590
00:43:43,538 --> 00:43:46,087
Uh, no.
You know anything about it?
591
00:43:46,207 --> 00:43:48,585
Well, not exactly.
You will. You will.
592
00:43:48,709 --> 00:43:52,339
When this new one comes out, this
will knock you over. It will?
593
00:43:52,463 --> 00:43:55,637
Water or soda? Uh... [Mumbles]
594
00:43:55,716 --> 00:43:57,639
Knock 'em over.
[Shepherd Chuckles]
595
00:43:57,718 --> 00:43:59,971
Shep, I thought
that we might- Oh.
596
00:44:00,054 --> 00:44:02,557
Oh, Andy, come in.
Meet Sidney Redlitch.
597
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,735
This is my partner, Andy White, Mr. Redlitch.
How do you do, sir?
598
00:44:05,810 --> 00:44:09,860
Mr. Redlitch wrote Magic in Mexico.
Oh, yes.
599
00:44:09,939 --> 00:44:13,694
Yes, remember that one? He's just about to do another.
What are you going to call this one?
600
00:44:13,776 --> 00:44:18,998
Magic in Manhattan,
or Witchcraft Around Us.
601
00:44:19,073 --> 00:44:23,670
- Is it around us?
- You bet your boots it is, son. It's all around us.
602
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:27,248
You probably thought it was kind of
confined to the jungles and the tropics.
603
00:44:27,331 --> 00:44:30,175
Well, it's not. It's right here
New York is full of 'em.
604
00:44:30,251 --> 00:44:32,925
[Chuckles] Full of what?
605
00:44:33,004 --> 00:44:38,556
- Witches, boy. Witches.
- Now, how do you know that?
606
00:44:38,634 --> 00:44:41,387
Oh, sure. Go ahead.
607
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:44,015
Uh, what was that?
Scotch.
608
00:44:44,098 --> 00:44:46,271
Make this one bourbon,
would you?
609
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:48,853
How do I know?
I've met a couple.
610
00:44:48,936 --> 00:44:52,611
Met them through my book,
before I went to Mexico.
611
00:44:52,690 --> 00:44:57,867
Take my word for it. Right here, all around
us, there's a whole community of them.
612
00:44:57,945 --> 00:45:00,789
- What do they look like?
- Like anybody else.
613
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:04,745
Like, uh- Like her.
614
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:09,715
- Like him.
- [Shepherd Stifles Laugh]
615
00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:13,715
- Of course, when it's a man it's called a warlock.
- Mm-hmm.
616
00:45:13,794 --> 00:45:17,469
- Did you know they can't cry?
- They can't cw?
617
00:45:17,548 --> 00:45:21,724
Physically impossible for a witch
to shed a tear or blush.
618
00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:25,807
When you throw them in the water,
they float.
619
00:45:25,890 --> 00:45:29,064
Well, you mean you can actually
contact these people?
620
00:45:29,143 --> 00:45:32,238
Of course you can contact them.
They have their hangouts.
621
00:45:32,313 --> 00:45:36,238
And they're open to the public-
cafés and bars and nightclubs.
622
00:45:36,317 --> 00:45:39,742
They've got a place there
in the Village- the Zodiac.
623
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:42,414
Then over in Brooklyn,
there's one called the...
624
00:45:42,490 --> 00:45:44,913
You don't take this
very seriously, do you?
625
00:45:44,992 --> 00:45:48,747
Oh, yes, I do. But I've got
some work to do right now.
626
00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:52,424
Besides, Mr. Henderson's in complete
charge of our abracadabra department.
627
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,094
Well, see you later.
628
00:45:55,169 --> 00:45:59,219
Um, uh, Redlitch,
you said the Zodiac.
629
00:45:59,340 --> 00:46:03,470
The little place in the cellar? Yeah, yeah.
The headquarters is downstairs.
630
00:46:03,552 --> 00:46:06,897
Their headquarters?
Is that- Well, I'll be darned.
631
00:46:08,182 --> 00:46:11,061
- What's the matter?
- Oh, nothing, nothing, nothing.
632
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:13,066
What are you doing this evening?
633
00:46:13,145 --> 00:46:16,319
I'd like you to have a drink
with a couple friends of mine.
634
00:46:16,399 --> 00:46:19,744
Oh, sure. I'd love to.
635
00:46:21,487 --> 00:46:23,910
[Redlitch] There's something else about them.
They can't cry.
636
00:46:23,990 --> 00:46:27,415
They can't shed a tear
or blush.
637
00:46:27,493 --> 00:46:30,747
If you throw them in the water,
they float.
638
00:46:30,830 --> 00:46:33,583
Tell them about the Zodiac,
the place where Nicky works.
639
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:36,590
Mmm, the Zodiac.
That's their headquarters.
640
00:46:36,711 --> 00:46:40,136
The place is infested with them.
What do you know?
641
00:46:40,214 --> 00:46:42,717
Just take a good look
at the proprietor sometime.
642
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,144
You mean to tell me
he's a witch?
643
00:46:45,219 --> 00:46:48,723
- Absolutely.
- What is it they call a man witch?
644
00:46:48,806 --> 00:46:52,185
- [ Redlitch ] A warlock.
- A warlock.
645
00:46:52,268 --> 00:46:55,613
Warlock. You'd never know it
to look at him, would you?
646
00:46:55,688 --> 00:46:58,237
You wouldn't, but I would.
647
00:46:58,357 --> 00:47:01,031
You can recognize them?
Like a shot.
648
00:47:01,110 --> 00:47:02,987
How?
649
00:47:03,070 --> 00:47:04,868
Just a look or a feeling
or something.
650
00:47:04,947 --> 00:47:08,702
I can't put my finger on it,
but if one came in here right now
651
00:47:08,784 --> 00:47:11,082
I'd know him in a minute.
652
00:47:11,162 --> 00:47:13,039
Yeah.
653
00:47:13,122 --> 00:47:15,216
I wonder if we know
any of them?
654
00:47:15,291 --> 00:47:18,841
I wonder. I suppose
there's lots of it around.
655
00:47:18,919 --> 00:47:23,846
- Yeah, it's sort of like the flu.
- Make fun, make jokes, but my old publisher's interested.
656
00:47:23,924 --> 00:47:26,677
Oh, no. Oh, no. As a matter of fact,
I've come to a decision.
657
00:47:26,761 --> 00:47:31,517
I'll publish your book. Tell you the truth,
I wouldn't think of not publishing it.
658
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:34,569
I've watched everything from arthritis

- He's lying, 'cause I did.

Yes.

- Oh, never mind!

Gil, for Pete's sake, why would anyone
want to put my telephone out of order?

01:21:02,274 --> 01:21:05,118
These matters often take
considerable time.
1150
01:21:06,779 --> 01:21:08,781
Good luck, Shep.
1151
01:21:08,864 --> 01:21:11,037
Good-bye, Shep.
1152
01:21:12,117 --> 01:21:14,211
Hey...
1153
01:21:20,209 --> 01:21:22,428
Thank you.
[Parrot Squawks]
1154
01:21:25,589 --> 01:21:29,514
Uh- Oh! Who's a fool?
You're a fool! [Whistles]
1155
01:21:29,593 --> 01:21:31,971
Be quiet, Sybil.
1156
01:21:32,054 --> 01:21:34,273
Ah, dear Gillian.
1157
01:21:34,348 --> 01:21:39,070
Only an amateur, of course, but
very effective now and then.
1158
01:21:39,144 --> 01:21:42,899
- Do you know what she used?
- “Used”?
1159
01:21:42,981 --> 01:21:46,861
Heart of toad, white vinegar,
swallows liver?
1160
01:21:46,985 --> 01:21:49,989
She used a cat. [Squawks] Cat?
1161
01:21:50,072 --> 01:21:51,574
That's right.
1162
01:21:55,911 --> 01:21:58,414
[Liquid Bubbling]
1163
01:22:09,633 --> 01:22:11,635
You must wear this.
1164
01:22:25,524 --> 01:22:27,492
Put it on.
1165
01:22:34,867 --> 01:22:39,088
Can we get on with it, please?
[Bianca] Patience.
1166
01:22:40,414 --> 01:22:43,258
[Bubbling Continues]
1167
01:22:56,346 --> 01:22:58,064
[Gurgling]
1168
01:23:18,702 --> 01:23:21,626
[Hissing]
1169
01:23:49,149 --> 01:23:51,151
[Groans]
1170
01:24:03,747 --> 01:24:10,130
I conjure thee to remove all chains
and break all bonds which bind thee.
1171
01:24:10,254 --> 01:24:13,804
Drink it. Drink it?
I will do no such thing!
1172
01:24:13,882 --> 01:24:16,476
Drink it! [Sybil] Drink it!
1173
01:24:16,552 --> 01:24:19,396
Quickly, while it has strength.
1174
01:24:25,018 --> 01:24:27,362
Oh-
Drink it!
1175
01:24:32,359 --> 01:24:34,327
[Sighs]
1176
01:24:36,029 --> 01:24:38,498
[Bianca] Drink it!
1177
01:24:53,088 --> 01:24:55,511
All of it.
1178
01:24:56,550 --> 01:24:59,019
[Gulps]
1179
01:25:01,221 --> 01:25:04,566
[Sybil] You're a fool!
Who's a fool? You're a fool!
1180
01:25:21,533 --> 01:25:24,707
So cheapening-
you taking him to see her.
1181
01:25:24,828 --> 01:25:27,206
He's too good for that sort of thing.
Oh, come now, Gil.
1182
01:25:27,331 --> 01:25:30,710
Just because you and Bianca are rivals.
We are not rivals.
1183
01:25:30,834 --> 01:25:34,964
[Scoffs, Tapping Drum] A third-rate,
vulgar, self-advertising,
1184
01:25:35,088 --> 01:25:37,591
mail-order sorceress.
Ooh.
1185
01:25:37,674 --> 01:25:40,177
Just the same, you should never
have told him, and you know it.
1186
01:25:40,260 --> 01:25:43,560
You know what it says on love potions-
“Shake well, but don't tell.”
1187
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:46,479
[Chuckles] [Sighs]
1188
01:25:46,558 --> 01:25:51,439
That's what happens to people like us.
We forfeit everything and...
1189
01:25:51,521 --> 01:25:56,618
and we end up in a little world
of separateness from everyone.
1190
01:26:06,536 --> 01:26:09,665
Say, if you don't mind, I'd like to
see Miss Holroyd for a few moments.
1191
01:26:09,748 --> 01:26:11,671
[Murmurs] Shep, ol' boy?
1192
01:26:11,750 --> 01:26:13,718
Oh, Nicky, will you, please?
1193
01:26:13,794 --> 01:26:15,796
Yeah, how are you?
1194
01:26:15,921 --> 01:26:19,471
Huh?
Yeah. Oh, you're fine.
1195
01:26:19,591 --> 01:26:22,561
[Chuckling] Yeah. What? You...
1196
01:26:23,303 --> 01:26:25,476
I heard about last night, Shep. Oh...
1197
01:26:25,597 --> 01:26:30,148
What did you go there for?
For the hair of the dog that bit me. That's why.
1198
01:26:30,227 --> 01:26:32,571
Listen, I don't want to be here,
and I wouldn't be,
1199
01:26:32,646 --> 01:26:37,447
except that old bag said that the treatment
wouldn't be complete until I confronted you.
1200
01:26:37,526 --> 01:26:40,029
Well, nice of her
to make that a condition.
1201
01:26:40,112 --> 01:26:43,707
Oh, and she told me to tell you that, in
case you have anything further in mind,
1202
01:26:43,782 --> 01:26:46,456
she's fixed it
so you can't undo this one.
1203
01:26:46,535 --> 01:26:49,209
Yes, and just how did she do that?
1204
01:26:49,287 --> 01:26:54,043
Well, she said it was something she put in
that disgusting mess she made me drink.
1205
01:26:54,126 --> 01:26:57,881
Ew. I've never been
so humiliated in all my life,
1206
01:26:57,963 --> 01:27:00,091
to say nothing
of the money it cost me.
1207
01:27:00,173 --> 01:27:01,891
What did she charge?
1208
01:27:02,008 --> 01:27:04,227
A thousand dollars!
What?
1209
01:27:04,302 --> 01:27:06,896
A thousand- At least she was
willing to take a check.
1210
01:27:06,972 --> 01:27:09,395
She also pointed out to me that,
if we'd gotten married,
1211
01:27:09,474 --> 01:27:11,977
it would cost a lot more
than that to get divorced.
1212
01:27:12,060 --> 01:27:15,735
Well, that's a pretty comparison.
1213
01:27:15,814 --> 01:27:18,909
Yeah, but it's a good one.
A pretty good one. Not bad, pretty good.
1214
01:27:18,984 --> 01:27:22,113
And now, if you'll forgive me,
I think I'll be going.
1215
01:27:22,195 --> 01:27:25,745
"Believe me, I've had my fill
of this “bell, book and candle" set.
1216
01:27:25,824 --> 01:27:27,952
It really wasn't necessary
for you to move, Shep.
1217
01:27:28,034 --> 01:27:31,664
Oh, yes, it was. Of course, I may have
a little trouble subletting.
1218
01:27:31,747 --> 01:27:36,127
This isn't the kind of a house that I could
wholeheartedly recommend to anybody.
1219
01:27:36,251 --> 01:27:38,720
Good day.
You mean good-bye?
1220
01:27:38,837 --> 01:27:42,182
That's right.
I'll never see you again?
1221
01:27:42,257 --> 01:27:44,180
Well, I can't see what for.
1222
01:27:46,636 --> 01:27:48,764
I suppose you'll go back
to Merle.
1223
01:27:48,847 --> 01:27:52,226
Perhaps, if she'll have me.
1224
01:27:52,309 --> 01:27:56,985
Oh, I forgot. I'm going to a hotel,
so I won't be needing this.
1225
01:27:57,063 --> 01:28:00,363
But maybe you might, in case you ever
get sick of the primitive art business.
1226
01:28:00,442 --> 01:28:04,117
Have broom, will travel.
1227
01:28:04,196 --> 01:28:08,952
So, a trip to the Brooklyn harpy,
a visit to me,
1228
01:28:09,034 --> 01:28:12,379
a final moronic joke
and away we go.
1229
01:28:12,454 --> 01:28:15,458
It's that easy, is it?
1230
01:28:15,540 --> 01:28:19,761
Go back to Merle Kittridge?
You'll not if I have anything to say about it!
1231
01:28:19,878 --> 01:28:24,304
Perhaps you're defrosted, but I haven't
even begun with her! Gillian, I...
1232
01:28:24,382 --> 01:28:27,306
Let's see,
what would be fancy enough?
1233
01:28:29,221 --> 01:28:32,316
I'll transport her.
1234
01:28:32,390 --> 01:28:36,770
Before I'm through with her, she'll
see more geography than Marco Polo!
1235
01:28:36,895 --> 01:28:38,818
Gillian, what- And you needn't
try to chase after her,
1236
01:28:38,897 --> 01:28:41,400
'cause before she leaves,
I'll- I'll infatuate her.
1237
01:28:41,483 --> 01:28:45,158
I'll make her fall for someone- the
first stranger that walks in on her!
1238
01:28:45,237 --> 01:28:48,286
The mail man, the plumber,
the window washer!
1239
01:28:48,406 --> 01:28:50,659
Pyewacket!
U h-oh.
1240
01:28:50,742 --> 01:28:54,246
Pyewacket!
Holy smoke.
1241
01:28:54,329 --> 01:28:56,798
Pyewacket, where are you?
1242
01:28:58,333 --> 01:29:02,179
Pyewacket!
Pyewacket!
1243
01:29:03,338 --> 01:29:06,387
Pyewacket, where are you?
1244
01:29:07,425 --> 01:29:09,553
Pye.
1245
01:29:09,636 --> 01:29:11,559
Pye!
1246
01:29:11,638 --> 01:29:14,812
I know how it sounds.
I'm under a spell. I'm enchanted.
1247
01:29:14,891 --> 01:29:16,893
Sure, it's inconceivable,
but it's a fact.
1248
01:29:16,977 --> 01:29:20,652
I tell you there are such things,
and they're right here in New York.
1249
01:29:20,772 --> 01:29:25,903
There are? Yes, that girl you
know- Gillian Holroyd, she's one.
1250
01:29:26,027 --> 01:29:27,950
A witch?
Yes!
1251
01:29:28,029 --> 01:29:31,954
Shep, you've just
never learned to spell.
1252
01:29:32,033 --> 01:29:34,752
How about those thunderstorms
while you were in college?
1253
01:29:34,828 --> 01:29:36,705
I suppose they were just plain
ordinary thunderstorms.
1254
01:29:36,788 --> 01:29:39,541
Well, they weren't
plain, ordinary th...
1255
01:29:39,624 --> 01:29:44,846
Merle, in the last half hour, have you had a
sort of- an urge to go away on a vacation
1256
01:29:44,921 --> 01:29:46,844
to sort of get away from it all?
1257
01:29:46,965 --> 01:29:50,094
No, dear, only from you.
Only from me. That's a good one.
1258
01:29:50,176 --> 01:29:53,680
All I want to do
is to tell you why I'm here.
1259
01:29:53,763 --> 01:29:56,516
I have to tell you that something
very peculiar may happen to you,
1260
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,649
and, if it does, maybe I can help you.
1261
01:29:59,728 --> 01:30:01,730
If this is your idea
of a clever way to crawl back...
1262
01:30:01,813 --> 01:30:03,736
All right, you think what you like.
1263
01:30:03,815 --> 01:30:07,319
Just don't blame me if you're eating
sukiyaki before the week's out.
1264
01:30:10,238 --> 01:30:11,581
[Meows]
1265
01:30:11,656 --> 01:30:13,454
Naughty cat.
Oh, you naughty cat.
1266
01:30:13,533 --> 01:30:16,787
Gillian's been looking
all over for you.
1267
01:30:16,912 --> 01:30:20,792
How can I make you understand that I'm just trying to
take precautions- Why don't you let me call Dr. Cook?
1268
01:30:20,916 --> 01:30:24,546
Maybe he can help you. A doctor?
I'm not crazy, Merle.
1269
01:30:24,628 --> 01:30:26,676
I may sound like a lunatic,
but I'm not crazy.
1270
01:30:26,796 --> 01:30:30,972
I'm not trying to whip up any old passion, so
you- Miss Kittridge, It's the exterminator man.
1271
01:30:31,092 --> 01:30:32,969
He wants to know if he can come in now.
Yes, dear.
1272
01:30:33,094 --> 01:30:36,348
No. No, I wouldn't let him
come in here now. What?
1273
01:30:36,473 --> 01:30:39,477
Just why not?
Because he'll seduce you.
1274
01:30:39,559 --> 01:30:41,937
- Send him in, Betty.
- Yes, ma'am.
1275
01:30:42,062 --> 01:30:45,282
Shep, I'm really getting fed up with all this.
What do you think I feel like?
1276
01:30:45,398 --> 01:30:48,117
I'm just trying to help- Good morning.
You can start in the bedroom.
1277
01:30:48,193 --> 01:30:51,538
- Uh-oh.
- Yes, ma'am.
1278
01:30:53,156 --> 01:30:55,375
[Growls, Barks]
1279
01:30:57,369 --> 01:30:59,371
Bon voyage.
1280
01:30:59,454 --> 01:31:01,798
Gillian?
1281
01:31:01,873 --> 01:31:03,750
On the roof, of all places.
1282
01:31:03,875 --> 01:31:06,799
He's never gone off like that
before, has he? [Gillian] No.
1283
01:31:06,878 --> 01:31:09,631
Do you think he was looking
for a mate?
1284
01:31:09,756 --> 01:31:12,475
Pyewacket. Pyewacket, come here.
[ Meows]
1285
01:31:12,550 --> 01:31:16,271
- [ Screeches]
- Pyewacket, get down here this instant.
1286
01:31:16,388 --> 01:31:18,641
[ Meows ] Pyewacket!
1287
01:31:19,933 --> 01:31:22,777
Come here. Get down.
Come on. [Yowling]
1288
01:31:22,852 --> 01:31:25,355
[Continues Yowling]
1289
01:31:26,606 --> 01:31:30,201
Oh, Gillian, what's the matter?
Stop it.
1290
01:31:30,318 --> 01:31:32,662
I've got a little job for him to do.
You mean...
1291
01:31:32,737 --> 01:31:34,614
Yes. Oh, how thrilling!
[Claps Hands]
1292
01:31:34,739 --> 01:31:37,458
Who is it going to be?
Miss Poison-Pen Merle Kittridge.
1293
01:31:37,575 --> 01:31:41,876
[Meows] It's just wonderful, dear.
You're staging a comeback.
1294
01:31:41,955 --> 01:31:44,003
What are you going
to do to her?
1295
01:31:44,082 --> 01:31:48,212
Why don't you burn down her house
or have all her hair fall out?
1296
01:31:48,294 --> 01:31:52,094
Queenie, if you-
Pyewacket! Pyewacket!
1297
01:31:56,344 --> 01:31:58,267
[Horn Honking]
1298
01:32:01,641 --> 01:32:03,063
Pyewacket!
1299
01:32:05,103 --> 01:32:07,401
Pye!
1300
01:32:07,480 --> 01:32:09,528
[Horn Honks]
1301
01:32:09,607 --> 01:32:11,575
Pye!
1302
01:32:12,777 --> 01:32:14,779
Pyewacket!
1303
01:32:29,669 --> 01:32:32,388
Tears.
1304
01:32:32,464 --> 01:32:35,263
Real tears.
1305
01:32:37,552 --> 01:32:42,558
It's true, that old wives' tale.
It's true.
1306
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,484
That's why Pyewacket ran away.
1307
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:49,736
You've lost your powers.
1308
01:32:49,814 --> 01:32:52,533
