Allison : I like your costume, Dani.
Dani : Thank you! I really like yours too. Of course, I couldn't wear anything like that because I don't have any. What do you call them, Max? Yabbos?
[Max embarrassed nearly spits out the cider he's drinking]
Dani : Max likes your yabbos. In fact, he loves them!

Dani : Where's Binx? Binx? Binx? Binx!
Allison : He's gone. He's gone, Dani.
Dani : But he can't die, remember? Wake up, Binx. Binx, wake up. Like last time.
[she begins crying over his feline body]
Thackery Binx : [In human spirit form] Dani, come on. Please don't be sad for me.
Dani : Binx, is that you?
Thackery Binx : Yeah.
[laughs]
Thackery Binx : The witches are dead, my soul's finally free.

Emily : Thackery Binx, what took thee so long?

Miss Olin : Poor Thackery Binx. Neither his Father nor his Mother nor the entire town ever knew what became of him those 300 years ago. And so, the Sanderson Sisters were hanged by the Salem town folk. Now, there are those who say that on Halloween Night, a black cat still guards the old Sanderson House, warding off any who might make the Witches come back to life.
Max : Give me a break.
Miss Olin : Ah ha. We seem to have a skeptic in our midst. Mr. Dennison, would you care to share your California, laid-back, tye-dye point of view?
Max : Okay. Granted that, uh, you folks here Salem are into all these, uh, black cats and witches and stuff...
Miss Olin : Stuff?
Max : Fine, but everyone here knows that Halloween was invented by the candy companies. It's a conspiracy.
Allison : It just so happens that Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallow's Eve. It's the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to Earth.
Max : In case Jimi Hendrix shows up tonight, here's my number.
Boy in Class : Max, fat chance.

Thackery Binx : I want to show you something. Give you an idea of what we're dealing with.
Max : William Butcherson? Lost Soul?
Thackery Binx : Billy Butcherson was Winifred's lover, but she caught him sporting with her sister, Sarah. So she poisened him and sewed his mouth shut with a dull needle, so he couldn't tell his secrets, even in death. Winifred was always the jealous type.
Allison : You're Thackery Binx.
Thackery Binx : Yes.
Allison : Ha. So the legends are true.
Thackery Binx : Come along. Want to show you something else.

Dani : Officer! Officer!
Allison : Officer, we need your help.
Cop : What's the problem?
Dani : [to Max] Tell him.
Allison : Go ahead.
Max : [nervously] Well, um well, you see I just moved here. Well, you see? It's like this: I I um broke into the old Sanderson house and I brought the witches back from the dead. See, I even have the book.
Cop : [disapprovingly] You lit the Black Flamed Candle?
Max : Yeah.
Cop : Come on. Okay, let's get on the sidewalk.
Dani : And he's a virgin.
[the cop stares at them]
Cop : [to Max] Come here.
[Max comes closer to him]
Cop : [whispers] Are you a virgin?
Max : Yeah.
Cop : Really?
Max : Look, I'll get it tattooed on my forehead, okay?
-
Allison : Officer, this is not a prank!
Dani : Really!
Cop : Hey! I put my life on the line to protect this community, and you punks pull this? Get out of here.
Allison : [runs off in fear with Max, Dani, and Binx] Come on, Dani.
Cop : And take that cat with you.
[the cop laughs]
Cop's Girlfriend : [comes out wearing a Halloween costume] What's so funny, Eddie?
Cop : Ah, just a bunch of kids pulling my chain. They thought I was a real cop.
[his girlfriend laughs]
