Miss Olin : Poor Thackery Binx. Neither his Father nor his Mother nor the entire town ever knew what became of him those 300 years ago. And so, the Sanderson Sisters were hanged by the Salem town folk. Now, there are those who say that on Halloween Night, a black cat still guards the old Sanderson House, warding off any who might make the Witches come back to life.
Max : Give me a break.
Miss Olin : Ah ha. We seem to have a skeptic in our midst. Mr. Dennison, would you care to share your California, laid-back, tye-dye point of view?
Max : Okay. Granted that, uh, you folks here Salem are into all these, uh, black cats and witches and stuff...
Miss Olin : Stuff?
Max : Fine, but everyone here knows that Halloween was invented by the candy companies. It's a conspiracy.
Allison : It just so happens that Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallow's Eve. It's the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to Earth.
Max : In case Jimi Hendrix shows up tonight, here's my number.
Boy in Class : Max, fat chance.
-
Thackery Binx : I want to show you something. Give you an idea of what we're dealing with.
Max : William Butcherson? Lost Soul?
Thackery Binx : Billy Butcherson was Winifred's lover, but she caught him sporting with her sister, Sarah. So she poisened him and sewed his mouth shut with a dull needle, so he couldn't tell his secrets, even in death. Winifred was always the jealous type.
Allison : You're Thackery Binx.
Thackery Binx : Yes.
Allison : Ha. So the legends are true.
Thackery Binx : Come along. Want to show you something else.

Max : [suddenly startled by Dave in a vampire costume] Oh! Dad.
Dave : It's not Dad. It's Dadcula.
[spots Allison]
Dave : Oh, my goodness. Who must this charming young blood donor be?
[kisses Allison's hand]
Max : Dad! Something terrible happened.
Dave : [suddenly concerned, in a normal voice] Dani? What's wrong?
Max : No, Dani's fine.
Dave : [sighs] Good.
[to Allison]
Dave : Excuse me. Come here.
[he leads Max away]
Dani : [looks for Jenny, and finds her] Mom?
[Jenny turns around in a Madonna costume]
Dani : Mom?
Jenny : Hmm?
Dani : What are you supposed to be?
Jenny : Madonna. Well, you know. Well, obviously. Don't ya think?
Dave : Shoot, Max. Look, whatever it is, just tell me.
Dani : [to Jenny] Come here.
Jenny : What?
Dani : This cat here, Binx, right? He can talk. My brother's a virgin: he lit the black flame candle. The witches are back from the dead and they're after us. We need help.
Jenny : How much candy have ya had, honey?
Dani : Mom, I haven't O.D.'d. I haven't even had a piece. They're real witches, they can fly, and they're gonna eat all the kids in Salem. They're real!
Jenny : All right, let's just find your father.

Dani : Officer! Officer!
Allison : Officer, we need your help.

Allison : Go ahead.
Max : [nervously] Well, um well, you see I just moved here. Well, you see? It's like this: I I um broke into the old Sanderson house and I brought the witches back from the dead. See, I even have the book.

Max : Yeah.
Cop : Come on. Okay, let's get on the sidewalk.
Dani : And he's a virgin.

Ernie "Ice" : Ding-ding. Ding-ding.
Jay : Stop and pay the toll, kid.
Ernie "Ice" : Ten chocolate bars, no licorice.
Jay : Dump out your dump sack.
Dani : Drop dead, moron.
Ernie "Ice" : Yo, twerp. How'd you like to be hung off that telephone pole?
Dani : I'd just like to see you try it. Cause it just so happens I've got my big brother with me. Max!

Jay : WHOA! I love the costume! What do you suppose to be? A new kid on the block?
Dani : For your information: He's a little leaguer!
Jay : Whoa, I'm a little leaguer!
