"If we don't immediately send strong iron chains to 20 other people, horrible things will befall us." "Okay, so which of my dearest friends do I hate the most?" "Stop right there." "Bad luck is not brought on by silly superstitions like chain letters." "You're right." "They're brought on by black cats." "That is a hateful stereotype." "It's brought on by midgets in dresses."

"They really cushion the blow when I get a pimple, or I have to climb the rope in gym class." "Sabrina, everyone gets a C once in a while, and no one can climb the rope in gym class." "It's there to humiliate people." "I should have trusted my instincts and taken Metal Shop." "Hey." "I got to get to gym class." "We get to climb the rope today." "( muffled speech )" "So to recap..." "You have done nothing to respond to this chain letter?" "You both held your tongues." "Excellent." "You will find the best way to stop a chain letter is to simply ignore it." "( both mumbling )" "Let's let the professionals track down the culprit and bring him to justice."

"Your larynx hasn't collapsed, has it?" "No." "I'm just working hard on this story." "I got a C-minus on the last one." "I heard." "I'm working hard to prove it was an aberration." "Oh, then, I'm sure this one is wonderful." "Uh, let me hear some." "Okay." "Well, it's supposed to be a genre piece, so I picked romance." ""Clare looked at Robert," ""and Robert looked at Clare." ""Clare and Robert were looking at each other." ""Clare didn't want to fall in love," ""but nothing in her crazy life made sense, and she lost all feeling in her thumbs."" "You don't have to be good at everything." "Well, if it isn't "C-brina."" "Perhaps you can improve your grades by studying in detention." "Detention?" "What did I do?" "Even John Grisham has to pick up his trash." "Hm, missy?" "Or should I say, Miss-C Minus?" "( laughing )" "More sugar for your tea?" "Oh." "Oh!" "This is more awkward than when we had lunch with The Elephant Man." "Please let me send the chain letters and get rid of these annoying curses." "Please." "No!"

"You broke my big, fat nail." "Hey, shouldn't you be working on your story?" "I'm trying to find some stupid inspiration to write my stupid story." "I recommended she watch this spy movie." "Is this movie helping you at all?" "Well, so far, it's about a very handsome spy who drives a sports car with machine guns in the headlights, beautiful women, an evil scientist with an eye patch, more beautiful women, and a plot to corner the uranium market." "But I'm only ten minutes in." "Maybe you'd be more inspired if you had the classic accouterments of a writer." "Gin, night sweats and a bad marriage?" "I was talking about my old manual typewriter." "It always used to inspire me when I was in college." "I think it's still up in the attic." "Well..." "I'll try anything." "Beats sitting around here with Salem yelling," ""Bring it on, baby," every time there's a woman on the screen." "Okay." "Here goes nothing." "Hopefully, a well-written nothing." "Let's see." "International spy, Derek Kink, has been given the assignment of stopping" "I need a villain" "Dr." "Bad." "Fix that later." "Uh..." "An evil scientist bent on taking over the world..." "Ha!"

"And if it makes you feel any worse..." "I got a B." "Can I talk to you about this?" "Sure." "I thought this story was better, but it had some of the same problems as the first one." "Even though the spy genre was a good choice, characters didn't seem real." "Didn't seem real?" "But I based them all on real people." "I mean, come on, Dr. Bad, an evil scientist who kills teenagers with detention slips of death." "Sound like a certain "Krafty" vice principal?" "You give much thought to that name, "Dr. Bad"?" "W" " And" " And "Derek Kink"?" "Harvey Kinkle." "I mean, it was practically nonfiction." "That's not character development." "A good writer knows everything about her characters:" "their history, their strengths and weaknesses, and what motivates them." "I put it in a nice binder." "Ugh." "Shirt untucked." "I drew straight from life." "SABRINA:" "Dr. Bad?" "Here's your detention slip... of death." "( laughs )" "Oh, no." "My characters have come to life." "And that means that student's about to die."

"HILDA:" "No." "I foolishly forgot to pick it up before I unexpectedly grew 8 feet." "I'm going to blame the altitude for your rudeness." "The characters in my story are alive." "Thank goodness my home can be a shelter from the madness." "HILDA:" "Sabrina, could you speak up?" "It's hard to hear you from up here." "The people in my spy story, they came to life, and they're running around my school." "The only way that could possibly happen is if you accidentally used Hilda's magic typewriter, but she got rid of that years ago, didn't you, Hilda?" "By "get rid of" you don't mean "kept," do you?" "Hilda." "I'm sorry." "I know I was supposed to give it away, but I just" " I love writing romance stories with myself as the heroine, and then watching them come to life." "It isn't pathetic, is it?" "Can we come up with a solution?" "There's a group of international spies running around my school." "And my neck is killing me." "Oh, dear." "What kind of an ending did you write for your story?" "Well, it was late, and I was really tired, so I just had Dr. Bad..." "When this bomb goes off, all the teenagers will be annihilated, and everyone will think they were killed in a science lab experiment gone terribly awry." "( laughs ) Dr. Bad, you are a genius." "An evil genius." "( cackles )" "I had him blow up the school." "( both gasp )" "When you're working with a magic typewriter, you can never let your characters die." "Well, I didn't know I was working with a magic typewriter." "Right." "Sorry." "The problem is, when your characters die, their real-life counterparts also die." "Oh." "And I just spent the last two years foolishly making friends." "I suggest you go up to your room and rewrite that ending." "Don't worry." "We'll help you." "How do you plan for us to get upstairs?" "( typewriter clacking )" "There." "See?" "Man, there are a lot of Frisbees on the roof." "SABRINA:" "I've got the ending." "Dr. Bad is about to blow up the school, but then decides not to." "Oh, honey, you can't just force the ending." "It has to come from the character's history, motivated by their strengths and weaknesses." "That's the same thing Mr. Franco said, and I still find it annoying." "You know, but the good news is, if you find the right ending, it practically writes itself." "What is my bra doing on the roof?" "Uh, the squirrels need a nut feeder." "Sabrina, we can help you write a new ending." "Try this." "Um, Dr. Bad has captured Derek and tied him to a buzz saw." "There's always been an unpleasant edge to you, Dr. Bad." "I am killing you just to stop the puns." "Suddenly, Dr. Bad turns to Lydia and says..." "Turn off the saw." "Why?" "Why?" "Well, the way the courts have been cracking down on evil geniuses lately, it just wouldn't be practical for me to kill him." "I'd end up having to pay a legion of lawyers, which I'm sure would just wipe out my entire retirement plan." "That's a terrible ending." "Thought it was very contemporary." "You have to come up with a believable ending, or your characters will reject it." "What am I saying?" "!" "Turn the saw back on!" "( cackling )" "Fictional characters can be such prima donnas." "Can we get back to the ticking bomb that's gonna vaporize all of my friends?" "Not to mention the only candy machine in town that has Nutrageous bars." "Right." "Try this."

"How about a square dance instead?" "Delightful." "( "Turkey in the Straw" playing )" "What?" "Ugh." "That's a much worse ending than mine." "It's an unexpected twist." "Who are you people to judge my art?" "No wonder I'm no good at this." "Look at my gene pool." "A cat could write a better ending than that." "And will, if you start typing." "Kink had surprised Dr. Bad..." "You're through, Dr. Bad." "I" " I" "I would like to ask you to square dance." "Oh." "( "Turkey in the Straw" playing )" "Salem." "Salem." "Okay." "I froze." "Uh-oh." "We're changing again." "Oh." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Had to plant rosebushes under Sabrina's window." "I figured something out." "Oh, the ending?" "No." "I've figured out I'm no writer, I'm a doer." "So I'm gonna go back to school and solve this thing myself, in person." "There's a little something on your teeth, Zelly." "Hey." "No spots." "No wings." "No webbed feet." "Hilda, we've beaten the chain letter." "I knew I was right to hold out against that silly superstition." "Actually, I sent out 20 letters this morning."
