"If I win, we all get to go home." "And if you lose?" "We'll stay for 100 years and clean your garage." "Sabrina, no, we're witches." "Twenty years is a drop in the bucket to us." "It may take Hilda that long to straighten up." "You look so familiar to me." "Sit like a lady, dear." "Sabrina," "I'll see your bet, and raise you." "If I win, you all stay here with me... forever."

"I'm so sorry, Diamond" "Is it me, or is Diamond Dave slumped over the table breathing yet clearly unconscious?" "That's a pretty fair assessment." "Hey!" "Look, he had extra dice up his sleeve, and it's all sixes." "No wonder he always won." "Let's get out of here." "SALEM:" "He must have cheated with me too." "I was robbed!"
