Nancy Downs
- Chris: You're just jealous!
- Nancy: Jealous? Jealous? You don't even exist to me! You don't exist! You are nothing! You are shit! You don't exist. The only way you know how to treat women is by treating them like whores! Well, you're the whore! And this is gonna stop! Do you understand! Do you understand what I'm saying? Hmm?
- Chris: [frightened] I'm sorry!
- Nancy: Oh, he's sorry! He's sorry, he's sorry, he's sorry, he's sorry, he's sorry!
- [Nancy screams]
- Nancy: Sorry, my ass!
- [Nancy pushes Chris out a window and kills him]
- 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]
- Nancy: What's going on? Why aren't you dead?
- Sarah: Manon. He came to me. Saved me. Oh, and by the way. He wanted me to give you a message. You're in big shit. He says you've abused the gifts that he's given you, and now you're going to have to pay the price.
- Nancy: [her fingers turn to snakes] What's going on?
- Sarah: Where did Bonnie and Rochelle go? They just ran out of here without even saying good-bye. That's bad manners.
- 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.
- Sarah: [about her supposed "power"] I hate it; it's always getting screwed up. It's like... sometimes I'll... I'll want it to rain, and a pipe will burst in my bedroom, and it'll just get *flooded*
- [Smiles slightly]
- Nancy: [Bonnie and Rochelle laugh with glee, Nancy looks skeptical] Yeah right.
- Sarah: No, really! Or I'll want it just to be quiet and I'll wish for it and wish for it, and I'll go deaf for three days straight.
- [Bonnie and Rochelle stare in awe, Nancy looks begrudgingly convinced]
- Nancy: You know, if I were as pathetic as you are, I would have killed myself ages ago. You should get on with it.
- Nancy: Have you ever heard of invoking the spirit? It's when you call him... Manon. It's like... it's like you take him into you. It's like he fills you. He takes everything that's gone wrong in your life and makes it all better again.
- Sarah: Nothing makes everything all better again.
- Nancy: Maybe not for you...
- 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?
- 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: [looks over at giggling girls in the classroom] Uh-uh.
- [in disbelief, hoping it's not true]
- Rochelle: He said the same stuff about Nancy.
- Nancy: Told you he was a jerk.
- 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?
- [gestures at burly female security guard]
- Nancy: I love a woman in uniform!
