The Value of Normalcy in Halloweentown
Aggie
If Marnie's training doesn't go too well, her powers will be lost forever.
Gwen
YES! And she'll finally be human! She'll be like her father, she'll be like her brother, & Sophie will be after her.
Aggie
Didn't you know that being normal is very underrated.
Aggie
Wouldn't it be easy if you had to raise children who have no powers at all? I mean look at you with your plastic bowls. Well, you know leftover chicken looks better when it's back to the bone.
Gwen
Mother! Get that thing out of there right now!
Gwen
For years you've been coming here, you’ve been dropping hints to Marnie, and you've been badgering me to start her training. I know that's why you came, mother. But, the fight is over, you know that. The clock has finally run out and you can just go home.
Aggie
Well, as much as I'd like to think you're making a mistake about Marnie, you're wrong about why I came tonight. The truth is I came to ask for your help.
Gwen
My help? With what?
Aggie
Well, something's happening back at home. Something's changed. And everyday, I find another neighbor has disappeared or two I think. It's almost as if more than another just keeps on not coming back.
Gwen
Oh, mother, please, my neighbors disappeared too. It's called moving.
Aggie
Oh, Gwendolyn! I'm serious about this! It's almost as if someone is trying to return as back to the dark times. And I'm afraid that my powers won't be strong enough to stop it. Truth is, I need another Cromwell witch. I need you.
Gwen
Mother, there were plenty of witches and warlocks back at Halloweentown. Why don't you recruit one of them?
Aggie
Oh, I tried. You know how they are these days, they just don't want to get involved.
Gwen
Mother, I'm sure there is something else that you could do. But, I can't leave my kids fighting this nameless force in another dimension if I had nothing to do.
Aggie
Nothing to do with? Hmm. Well, fine then, bury your neck in the sand of this mortal land of yours. Perhaps the Cromwell heir would end with you. Let's just hope that Halloweentown doesn't come to an end along with it.

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

Debate on Halloween's Importance and Family Memories
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
Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.
[sarcastically]
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.

Confrontation Reveals Kalabar's True Identity
Marnie
Grandma, it was Kalabar.
Gwen
What?
Aggie
So it was you?!
[angrily points at him]
Gwen
Why, Kalabar?
[gently pushes Sophie aside]
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
Don't underestimate me, Agatha. Ha! Now my darkness will spread unchecked, and I'll be the ruler of both worlds! Don't waste your energies, witches! Your precious talisman is nothing more…
[waves a finger; summons the talisman from inside the statue and catches it as he laughs maniacally; laughs maniacally again as Aggie pulls out her wand and chants a spell to the talisman, followed by Gwen who holds her hand]
Dylan
Man, that jerk! I'd like to… I'd like to…
[glares at Kalabar]
Marnie
Dylan!
[looks down to see blue light glowing from her brother's fingers as Kalabar laughs offscreen]
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
No way! I don't have any powers, I'm a normal one in the family.
[looks at his glowing fingers]
Marnie
Hey, Chocolate Bar! You better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble!
[looks at Kalabar]
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.
Kalabar
Silly witches, you Cromwells have failed!
[laughs maniacally]
Marnie
Come on, Dylan, we need you. Believe.
[opens her eyes to Dylan, whispering]
Kalabar
No! No! No!!!!!
[The orb's light glows more; The light engulfs him, and as he disappears, the talisman flies back into Aggie's hand]
Aggie
Oh! The talisman!
