Gwen

 * You always did let your magic do the talking.

Kalabar

 * You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. You could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead.

Dialogue

 * Marnie: [sorting through the presents Aggie brought them] Hieroglyphics!
 * Gwen: [to Aggie] Mother!
 * Marnie: You know, these look like the ones from the Egyptian book of the dead!


 * Gwen: I'm just trying to protect you.
 * Marnie: Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables. [sits down] Hey look! I'm a potato, are you happy now? Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet [mockingly] Oh no Marie, it's too dangerous! There're things about vegetables that YOU don't understand.


 * Gwen: You're not a witch.
 * Marnie: Oh, yes, I am, no thanks to you. You were going to let my powers go away forever.


 * Dylan: Why are you so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like Mom says: It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic. Like that helps them prepare for life. Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day.
 * Marnie: [sarcastically] Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.
 * Dylan: Shh! What are you trying to do? You know how talking about Dad always bums Mom out, I mean, why can't you pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like Arbor Day? Trees are important too, you know.


 * Marnie: Hey, look, a pentagram! Lon Chaney had one of these on his palm when he got bitten by that werewolf.
 * Aggie: So he did, I've always said the movies can teach us about life.


 * Luke: Maybe we could go out for an ice cream. I know my way around town. I'm kinda like the big cheese here.
 * Marnie: I was hungry, but then I smelled something stinky... it must have been the Big Cheese!


 * Gwen: You can't go out tonight.
 * Marnie: Why?
 * Gwen: I have my reasons and I will explain them to you when you're taller.
 * Marnie: Mom, you've been saying that for like my whole life. It's just one night, what's the big deal?


 * Marnie: I'm getting that deja vu feeling again!
 * Dylan: You knew I was going to put on my shoe?
 * Marnie: No!


 * Marnie: Grandma, it was Kalabar.
 * Gwen: What?
 * [On the stairs leading to the City Hall, Kalabar stands up and stares at the Cromwells. Aggie angrily points at him]
 * Aggie: So it was you!
 * [Gwen gently pushes Sophie aside as she glares at Kalabar]
 * Gwen: Why, Kalabar?
 * Kalabar: You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. And you could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead!
 * Marnie: Well, it turns out she was a pretty good judge of character.
 * Aggie: Your days of rule are at an end, Kalabar.
 * [Kalabar waves a finger]
 * Kalabar: Don't underestimate me, Agatha. Ha!
 * [Kalabar summons the talisman from inside the statue and catches it as he laughs maniacally]
 * Kalabar: Now my darkness will spread unchecked and I'll be the ruler of both worlds!
 * [Kalabar laughs maniacally again as Aggie pulls out her wand and chants a spell to the talisman, followed by Gwen who holds her hand]
 * Kalabar: Don't waste your energies, witches! Your precious talisman is nothing more…
 * [Dylan glares at Kalabar]
 * Dylan: Man, that jerk! I'd like to… I'd like to…
 * [Marnie looks down to see blue light glowing from her brother's fingers as Kalabar laughs offscreen]
 * Marnie: Dylan!
 * Dylan: What?
 * Marnie: It looks like we've added another witch to the family. Or should I say warlock.
 * Kalabar: …like a dark shadow…
 * [Dylan looks at his glowing fingers]
 * Dylan: No way! I don't have any powers, I'm a normal one in the family.
 * [Marnie looks at Kalabar]
 * Marnie: Hey, Chocolate Bar! You better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble!
 * Kalabar: You half-human brat! Do you think your magic is any match for mine?
 * Marnie: Hmm, no. But let's see my powers and my mom's, my grandmother's, my sister's, and my brother's might do it. Hit it, guys.
 * [Holding their hands, the Cromwells, except Dylan, close their eyes and hum. Kalabar laughs when he sees nothing happening to the talisman still in his hands]
 * Kalabar: Silly witches, you Cromwells have failed!
 * [Opening her eyes, Marnie looks at Dylan]
 * Marnie: [whispering] Come on, Dylan, we need you. Believe.
 * [Sophie opens her hand for Dylan, who takes it. They continue to hum as light shines brightly from the orb on the talisman in Kalabar's hands]
 * Kalabar: No! No!
 * [The orb's light glows more]
 * Kalabar:  No!!!!!
 * [The light engulfs Kalabar who disappears as the talisman flies back into Aggie's hand]
 * Aggie: Oh! The talisman!
 * [The citizens cheer and the Cromwell kids jump in celebration]
