"... we Owens women have been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong in this town." "Is that why people hate us so much, Aunt Frances?" "They don 't hate us, sweetheart." "We just make them a little nervous." "Let's face it, Jet." "We Owens women have always created a stir." "It all began with your ancestor, Maria." "She was a witch." "The first in our family." "And you, my darlings, are the most recent in a long and distinguished line." "Is that why they wanted to hang her?" "Because she was a witch?" "The fact that our Aunt Maria was a bit of a heartbreaker didn 't help." "Nor did it help that most of her lovers had wives on the hanging committee." "But no, I don 't think it was either of those reasons." "They feared her because she had a gift." "A power that has been passed on to you children." "She had the gift of magic." "And it was this very gift  that saved her life." "She was banished to this very island." "With her unborn child growing inside her belly she waited for her lover to rescue her." "But he never came." "No one came." "In a moment of despair she cast a spell upon herself:" "She would never again feel the agony of love." "But as her bitterness grew  the spell turned into a curse." "A curse on any man who dared love an Owens woman." "Is that why Daddy died?" "From the curse?" "Yes, my darling." "Your mother knew." "She heard the beetle ticking for your father's death all day long." "She knew that when you hear the sound of the deathwatch beetle  the man you love is doomed to die." "But that's how you came to live with us." "We tucked you into our lives then." "We've raised you the best way we know how." "In this house, we have chocolate cake for breakfast." "We never bother with silly things like bedtimes or brushing our teeth." "But with the sweets..." "So when you find yourself the center of attention...." "You want to play?" "It's not that they hate you." "It's that, well...." "We're different." "You witch!" "Witch!" "Witch!" "You're a bitch!" "Gillian." "Sally." "The only curse in this family..." "... issittingrightthere at the end of the table." "Your Aunt Fanny." "come on, Jetty, even you have to admit..." "... anymanwhogetsinvolved with an Owens woman..." "... isboundto endup 6 feet under." "Spare me." "What about my poor Ethan?" "An accident." "It was fate." "It was an accident." "It was fate." "Accident!" "Fate!" "Mommy died of a broken heart, didn't she?" "Yes, my darling girl, she did." "My little witch..." "... let'sgoinside and do some spells." "What about my homework?" "Pish!" "Tosh!" "You'll both learn things in this house..." "... you'llneverlearninschool." "Let's go." "come on, Gilly!" "I'm coming, Sally!" "Very good, Sally!" "You've been blessed with a gift." "What about me?" "We don't worry about you, Gilly-Bean." "Your talents will emerge in time." "Sally, you just stay right there." "keep working on your spells." "Just keep working on your spells." "Get the bird." "Get the book." "I want him so much, I can't think about anything else." "I don't sleep." "He has to leave his wife." "He has to leave her now." "Perhaps you might find one better suited." "I don't want anyone else." "He's all I think about." "Why else would I come here?" "Take the money, Jet." "I want him to want me so much he can't stand it." "Be careful what you wish for." "I hope I never fall in love." "I hope I never fall in love." "I hope I never fall in love." "I hope I never fall in love." "I can't wait to fall in love." "He will hear my call a mile away." "He will whistle my favorite song." "He can ride a pony backwards." "What are you doing?" "Summoning up a true love spell..." "... calledAmasVeritas." "He can flip pancakes in the air." "He'll be marvelously kind." "And his favorite shape..." "... willbeastar." "And he'll have..." "... onegreeneye..." "... andoneblue." "Thought you never wanted to fall in love." "That's the point." "The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist." "And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart." "And if he doesn 't exist I'll never die of a broken heart." "Get the door!" "Sal, you have..." "... noidea!" "Do you love him enough to marry him?" "come on, Sal, what's enough?" "I hate it here." "I want to go where no one's even heard of us." "I feel like I'll never see you again." "Of course you will." "We'll grow old together." "It'll be you and me living in a big house." "These two old biddies with all these cats." "I bet we even die on the same day." "You swear?" "Honey..." "... Ineedyourpocketknife." "Here." "My blood." "Your blood." "Our blood." "I love you, Gilly-Bean." "I love you too." "Good morning." "Hello, boys." "Charlie, looking good!" "God, what was I thinking?" "Franny, let it go." "My goodness, Gillian's in Orlando!" "She's in Orlando." "I guess that Roto-Rooter man is history." "According to that, he is." "It's insane." "She keeps going through all these guys." "Hopefully, someday she'll find a guy who'll go through her." "Hello, darling." "How are you?" "Oh, Jet, just give it up." "Never." "God, I miss her." "Oh, sweetie!" "Oh, dear!" "Oh, Samson!" "Now just knock it off." "All I want is a normal life." "Darling, when will you understand..." "... thatbeingnormal is not necessarily a virtue." "It denotes a lack of courage." "It's what I want." "See this couple?" "He's having an affair with the babysitter." "And she can eat a pound cake in under a minute." "Sorry!" "What time is it?" "Any moment now." "Where are you going, dear?" "Most excellent." "Dear Gillian:" "Today is our third anniversary and all I have to show for it are two beautiful little girls and a husband I just can 't stop kissing." "I don 't even mind the beard." "I wish you could see us." "No more stones being thrown, no taunts cried out." "Everything is just so blissfully normal." "Life is perfect." "Dear Sal:" "I'm lying in the sun." "I'm hanging by the pool." "I've got a million friends." "You might say  that life is perfect." "But I don 't care about any of it." "In fact, I only have two words to say to you:" "Jimmy Angelov." "Jimmy Angelov." "Angel." "Angelov, Angelov." "Where are you?" "Don't do this to me." "come on!" "come on!" "Hey, boys, catch anything today?" "Not much." "See you in a bit." "Jimmy, what's going on?" "I hear you." "I hear you." "Don't!" "How's Mary doing?" "She's good?" "That can't be." "No!" "What's that?" "I know you're in there." "Michael, look out!" "Look out behind you!" "On your right!" "It was the curse, wasn't it?" "He died because I loved him so much!" "My poor little girl." "We had no idea..." "... whenwecastthe spell...." "What spell?" "What are you talking about?" "You didn't!" "Please tell me..." "... thatmyownfleshandblood" "It was just a little push." "You wanted so much to be happy." "We never expected that you'd truly love him." "Well, I did." "And I want him back." "You brought him into my life." "You bring him back!" "Bring him back!" "I've never asked you for anything!" "I never asked for spells, but do this!" "You can bring him back." "No, dear." "We won't do that." "We don't do that." "You can do this." "I know you can." "I remember." "I found it here when Mommy and Daddy died." "Even if we did bring him back, it wouldn't be Michael." "It'd be something else." "Something dark..." "... andunnatural." "I don't care what he comes back as." "As long as he comes back." "Please do this for me." "Please!" "Please!" "This is only temporary." "Don't get too comfortable." "No chocolate for breakfast." "Homework will be done after dinner." "Teeth and hair brushed before bed." "And as for you two..." "... mychildrenwillneverdomagic ." "Ever." "Mom?" "It's time for us to go to school." "Mommy." "It's the same time as yesterday..." "... andthedaybeforethat , and the day before that." "Out of bed, sleepyhead!" "I'm worried about Antonia." "Do you know..."

"It's okay, Mommy." "Gilly." "Sally." "I was just thinking about you." "You're always thinking about me." "Honey, I just have to go to the bathroom." "Let's go together." "Jimmy, come on." "I'm just kidding." "Go." "You're in my blood like holy wine" "You taste so bitter and so sweet" "I could drink a case of you" "Still I'd be on my feet" "I was really, really happy." "We were going to open a botanical shop." "He'd get the ingredients, and I'd make the stuff." "He really loved my mint-oatmeal shaving cream." "He couldn't stop eating it." "I'm sure all this is really boring to you..." "... buthemademelaugh." "What kind of name is Angelov?" "Bulgarian." "Bulgarian?" "He's from somewhere near Transylvania." "He has this whole..." "...

"So you're drugging your boyfriend to get a little shuteye?" "Doesn't that seem strange to you?" "Maybe." "And he's strong." "So much stronger than me." "He can survive the curse."

"You'd think after 300 years, they'd make up a better rhyme." "Your troublemaker started this." "I hate you!" "Put the finger down, kylie." "I hope you get..." "... chickenpox!" "She was just kidding." "No, she wasn't, Mom." "She was not kidding." "What's wrong with you?" "We do not cast." "We do not toy with people's lives." "This is not a game." "No, you don't cast!" "You probably couldn't even if you tried!" "She has all this power and doesn't use it!" "I think you really hurt Mom's feelings." "Kylie thinks any man who marries us is going to croak." "That's such hogwash." "What about your grandparents, Jack and Regina?" "Grandma Regina died of a broken heart, didn't she?" "How could she do that?" "Leave Mom and Aunt Gilly behind when they were little?" "Why won't she talk about it?" "Was Mama good at spells as a girl?" "Why won't she do spells now?" "What's going on here?" "Nothing." "Just making toast, is all." "Finish your homework?" "A storm's coming." "Go check the windows for me." "Making toast?" "I want you to watch what you say to those girls." "I don't want you filling their heads with your nonsense." "We'd never tell them nonsense." "Good night, sweetie." "Dearest Gilly:" "Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside of me an emptiness that at times seems to burn." "I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could hear the ocean." "And the moon tonight, there's a circle around it." "A sign of trouble not far behind." "I have this dream of being whole." "Of not going to sleep each night wanting." "But still, sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for." "I just want someone to love me." "I want to be seen." "I don 't know." "Maybe I've had my happiness." "I don 't want to believe it but there is no man, Gilly." "Only that moon." "Gillian!" "It's Gillian." "I know." "What's wrong?" "I'm scared." "Can you come and get me?" "Where are you?" "I'm taking the first flight out." "Watch the kids." "Just go to Gilly." "The children'll be fine." "We'll take them to the solstice celebration." "Why can't you two just stay here?" "We can't back out." "We're on the committee." "We're presenting." "I don't want them dancing naked under the moon." "No, of course not, dear." "Nudity is entirely optional, as you well remember!" "Hello!" "Gilly, I'm here." "Thanks, Sal." "Hi." "The room service here sucks." "Let's get you out of here." "I'm fine." "He's been really crazy." "We've been driving for two weeks straight." "Not even straight." "In these zigzags, back and forth." "Damn these shoes!" "Then today he says he wants a jelly doughnut." "And he says to the kid, "Jelly doughnut, with cream. "" "And the kid looked confused." "And I said, "Jimmy, jelly's not a cream. "" "Then the kid laughed and I laughed and then he punched me."

"I didn't mean to ruin your life." "I just had no one else to turn to." "Get in the car." "Get in the car." "We have to go to the police." "It was self-defense." "The old slowly-poison-him-to-death self-defense?" "come on, Sally, they're never going to believe us." "You should stop smoking so much." "Why?" "I'll probably get life." "I should smoke two at once." "It'll shorten the sentence." "I really don't want to lose my children." "I know." "I don't want you to either." "What are you thinking?" "When Michael died, you asked the aunts to bring him back." "But they wouldn't." "Wouldn't, but not couldn't." "They were right." "He'd come back as something dark and unnatural." "Jimmy already is dark and unnatural." "I don't care what he comes back as." "No, that is not an option." "That is not a choice." "We don't have a choice!" "This is our choice!" "You..." "... oweme..." "... bigtime." "He's going to be so pissed." "Okay, here we go." "Watch his balls." "You watch them!" "Spell book." "Okay, Jimmy, I will get you out of this..."
