Elsa Lanchester credited as playing...
Queenie Holroyd
- Queenie: You don't really understand, Nicky. She's in love.
- Nicky Holroyd: [shuddering] Wouldn't she rather be dead?
- Queenie: I sit in the subway sometimes, on buses, or the movies, and I look at the people next to me and I think..."What would you say if I told you I was a witch?"
- Queenie: Oh, Gil, darling, you're depressed.
- Gillian 'Gil' Holroyd: I expect it's Christmas. Always upsets me. Auntie? Auntie, don't you ever wish that you weren't - what we are?
- Queenie: No!
- Gillian 'Gil' Holroyd: That you could just spend Christmas Eve in a little church somewhere, listening to carols instead of bongo drums?
- Queenie: Mr. Henderson and I saw each other a little earlier. I'm afraid he thinks I've been naughty.
- Queenie: Nicky's the one playing the bongos. You know, up to a few months ago, he'd never studied music.
- Shepherd 'Shep' Henderson: He's quite remarkable.
- Queenie: Yes, particularly when you consider that, before that, he used to work in an herb shop.
- Merle Kittridge: Looks to me as if he's eaten one herb too many. That's why he acts so creepy, I suppose.
- Gillian 'Gil' Holroyd: No, it's not that at all. It's just that all the Holroyds are a little sinister. You see, Nicky's my brother.
- Nicky Holroyd: Warlock. Well, you'd never know it to look at him, would you?
- Sidney Redlitch: You wouldn't, but I would.
- Gillian 'Gil' Holroyd: You can recognize them?
- Sidney Redlitch: Like a shot.
- Queenie: How?
- Nicky Holroyd: Just a look or a feeling or something. I can't put my finger on it, but if one came in here right now I'd know him in a minute.
- Nicky Holroyd: Yeah. I wonder if we know any of them?
- Gillian 'Gil' Holroyd: I wonder. I suppose there's lots of it around.
- Shepherd 'Shep' Henderson: Yeah, it's sort of like the flu.
