...AND THIS IS
THE PREFECT'S HOUSE.
IT WAS AT THE FOOT OF
MT. VESUVIUS
WHEN IT ERUPTED.
THIS IS SO COOL.
YOU'LL SCORE
THE JUNIOR SCIENTIST BADGE
FOR SURE.
MIGHT EVEN WIN THE WHOLE FAIR.
IT WAS ALICE'S IDEA.
SHE WROTE A REPORT
ON POMPEII LAST YEAR.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW HER.
SHE'S COMING HOME TODAY,
FROM BOARDING SCHOOL.
BOY, I HOPE
SHE DIDN'T TURN WEIRD.
ALLEN ACKERLY'S SISTER
GOT TOTALLY WEIRD
WHEN SHE WENT
TO BOARDING SCHOOL.
NOT ALICE.
WE'RE HOME!
THAT'S HER! COME ON.
ALICE!
OH, IT'S SO COOL YOU'RE HOME!
HEY, WAIT TILL YOU SEE
MY VOLCANO!
IT'S AN EXACT REPLICA
OF POMPEII
RIGHT DOWN TO
THE TOGAS AND AQUEDUCTS.
TAKE A BREATH, PETE!
WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME
TO CATCH UP.
[CAT MEOWS]
HEY, YOU GOT A CAT?
YEAH, SHE FOLLOWED ME
AROUND SCHOOL.
DAD SAID I COULD KEEP HER.
IT'S OKAY, BABA-YAGA...
THAT'S ITS NAME?
WEIRD.
HONEY,
YOU'RE HERE!
OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
YOU LOOK SO GROWN UP!
ARE YOU WEARING
MAKE-UP?
MOTHER, PLEASE!
OKAY, OKAY, OKAY, WE'RE
JUST GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
HELLO.
OKAY, I HAVE
A MILLION ERRANDS TO RUN.
THANK YOU.
CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET HER
KEEP THE CAT....
SEE YOU LATER.
I'LL GRAB THIS...
I GOT IT.
TAKE THIS.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
SO GUESS WHAT?
I'M GOING FOR
MY JUNIOR SCIENTIST BADGE.
[TRINKETS AND BOTTLES
CLATTERING]
"GRIMOIRE"?
LET'S SEE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP
TOUCHING MY STUFF?
MAY I HAVE MY ROOM
TO MYSELF?
START OVER.
TWO TABLESPOONS
OF WHAT?
OH! OH, OKAY.
[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
OH, WAIT,
HANG ON, ENID.
MY BATTERY'S DYING.
I'LL CALL YOU BACK
ON THE HOME LINE.
[BEEPS PHONE OFF]
YOU'VE BEEN ON THE PHONE
ALL DAY.
WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
NOBODY YOU KNOW.
JUST A FRIEND FROM SCHOOL.
YOU WANT TO SEE
MY VOLCANO NOW?
YOU CAN HELP ME
BUILD THE AQUEDUCT.
SORRY, PETE.
ANOTHER TIME.
I HAVE SOMETHING
IMPORTANT TO DO TONIGHT.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
ALICE?
[BELL JINGLES]
[TAPS FLASHLIGHT]
[WHISPER]: COME ON...
GREAT.
BY KNOT OF ONE,
THE SPELL'S BEGUN.
BY KNOT OF TWO,
IT'S COMING TRUE.
BY KNOT OF THREE,
SO MOTE IT BE.
BY KNOT OF FOUR,
THE POWER I STORE.
BY KNOT OF FIVE,
THE SPELL'S ALIVE.
BY KNOT OF SIX,
THE SPELL I FIX.
BY KNOT OF SEVEN,
EVENTS I'LL LEAVEN.
BY KNOT OF EIGHT,
IT WILL BE FATE!
[CAT YOWLS]
[GASPS]
[PANTING IN FEAR]
OH, MY FEET...
THAT WAS NICE.
YEAH, THAT WAS FUN.
[DOOR OPENS]
MOM, DAD, YOU'RE HOME!
ALICE IS
LOSING IT.
SHE'S IN THE WOODS
DOING SOME WEIRD RITUAL.
YEAH, RIGHT.
HE'S BEEN ACTING WEIRD
ALL NIGHT.
SHE'S LYING!
LOOK AT THE MUD ON HER SHOES!
OH, I SEE MUDDY
SHOES, ALL RIGHT.
YOURS!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
THAT'S ENOUGH
OUT OF YOU, YOUNG MAN.
IT'S WAY PAST
YOUR BEDTIME.
NOW, GO.
NOW!
REGGIE,
YOU'RE CRAZY.
I'M TELLING YOU,
I LOOKED UP THAT BOOK
SHE WAS
SO SECRETIVE ABOUT.
"THE GRIMOIRE" IS
A BOOK OF WITCHCRAFT.
DOES MY SISTER LOOK LIKE
A WITCH TO YOU?
NOT ALL WITCHES
ARE WART-COVERED HAGS.
SOME ARE HOT.
GUYS...
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
YOU'RE TALKING VOLCANOES.
PETE CAN'T
ACCEPT THE FACT
THAT HIS SISTER
IS A WITCH.
HE FOUND HER
IN THE WOODS CHANTING
AND BEING ALL WITCHY AND HOT--
ALL RIGHT,
SHE WAS JUST CHANTING.
WITCHCRAFT IS JUST
PRIMITIVE NONSENSE.
SCIENCE IS HOW MANKIND
GOT TO THE MOON.
SEE THOSE MIRRORS
OVER THERE?
WELL, TOMORROW NIGHT
AT THE SCIENCE FAIR,
I'M GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE
A POWER LASER.
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO,
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
CALLED THAT MAGIC.
BILLY KNOWS
A LOT ABOUT SCIENCE,
BUT I LOOKED UP WITCHES.
YOU KNOW THAT BLACK CAT
YOUR SISTER BROUGHT HOME?
IT'S CALLED A "FAMILIAR."
WITCHES USE THEM AS SPIES.
IT'S JUST A CAT.
THEN WHY DID SHE NAME IT
AFTER ONE OF THE MOST
FAMOUS WITCHES
IN RUSSIAN FOLKLORE,
BABA-YAGA?
[VOLCANO ERUPTS]
[LAVA SPLATTERS]
DON'T LET THE LAVA
REACH THE VILLAS, OKAY?
[GASPING]
ALICE MUST HAVE
PUT A CURSE ON IT!
IT'S THE ONLY EXPLANATION!
I'VE GOT AN EXPLANATION!
HOW ABOUT YOU BUMPED INTO
THE IGNITION SWITCH!
I NEVER TOUCHED IT,
I SWEAR!
GUYS...
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE'S HEADING OFF ON HER BIKE.
[WALKIE-TALKIE CRACKLES]
WARN ME
IF SHE COMES BACK.
ROGER THAT.
JACKPOT.
YES!
WHAT DID YOU FIND?
IT'S HER WITCH BOX.
"DEVIL'S MILK"?
"HOUND'S TONGUE"?
[WALKIE-TALKIE CRACKLES]
PETE!
W-WHAT'S HAPPENING?
IT'S BAD, REG.
IT'S BAD.
THIS BOOK, IT'S LIKE
A "HOW TO" ON WITCHCRAFT.
[CAT MEOWS]
WHAT WAS THAT?
IT'S BABA-YAGA.
HE'S SPYING ON ME.
PETE, I MESSED UP!
ALICE IS BACK!
GET OUT OF THERE!
[CAT YOWLS]
WHAT IS IT, BABA-YAGA?
[CAT YOWLS]
[WALKIE-TALKIE CRACKLES
HE GASPS]
[BEEPS WALKIE-TALKIE OFF]
[DOOR SLAMS]
[SCISSORS SNIP]
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?
YOU CUT MY HAIR!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S PETE.
I FOUND THIS
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER
IN THE BUSHES
WITH A WALKIE-TALKIE.
HE WAS GOING
THROUGH MY THINGS.
PETE, YOU CAN'T INVADE
YOUR SISTER'S PRIVACY
LIKE THAT.
SHE'S A WITCH!
I WAS TRYING TO FIND PROOF
WHEN SHE CUT MY HAIR!
OKAY, PETE,
GO TO YOUR ROOM.
GO.
SORRY, DUDE.
YOU DON'T DESERVE
A SURVEILLANCE BADGE.
REGGIE,
I THINK IT'S TIME
YOU WENT HOME, HUH?
BILLY MADE ME THE
SCIENCE LAB ASSISTANT.
HE GAVE ME THE KEYS
TO THE CHEM CLOSET
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING
FOR YOUR VOLCANO.
THANKS.
SORRY ABOUT MESSING UP
YOUR SURVEILLANCE MISSION.
SORRY I RIPPED YOUR BADGE.
ALICE DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
EVEN AFTER SHE CUT MY HAIR.
UH-OH.
WHAT?
WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING
THE GRIMOIRE,
I READ THAT IF A WITCH GETS
SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO YOU,
THEY CAN USE IT TO CONTROL YOU!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
WHATEVER YOU DO,
DO NOT LET HER
GIVE YOU ANYTHING.
NO AMULETS, NO CHARMS.
DON'T EAT ANYTHING
SHE COOKS EITHER.
MAYBE WE'RE
GETTING OURSELVES
WOUND UP
ABOUT NOTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I GOT SOMETHING
IN MY SHOE.
[TAPPING SHOE]
DUDE, THAT'S YOUR HAIR,
AND A TALISMAN!
YOUR SISTER PUT A HEX ON YOU!
WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS TO ME?
MAYBE SHE NEEDS A SACRIFICE
FOR HER DARK LORD.
OR NOT.
I'M GOING TO PROVE TO HER
THAT LOGIC AND SCIENCE
ARE STRONGER THAN SUPERSTITION.
HOW?
I'M GOING TO BURN THE GRIMOIRE.
MM.
WOW.
THIS IS REALLY
GOOD, ALICE.
YOU MADE THIS
FROM SCRATCH?
YOUR SISTER LEARNED TO COOK
AT BOARDING SCHOOL.
YEAH, IT'S
HER SPECIAL RECIPE.
WHY AREN'T YOU EATING?
NOT HUNGRY.
WELL, THE LEAST
YOU COULD DO IS TRY IT.
WHAT IS GOING ON
WITH YOU LATELY?
WHAT'S GOING ON IS
ALICE HAS YOU BOTH WRAPPED
AROUND HER LITTLE FINGER!
YOU'RE BOTH EATING
HER WITCH'S BREW,
AND YOU DON'T EVEN...
KNOW IT...
MOM?
DAD?
WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?
THE RECIPE WORKED!
I CAN'T WAIT
TO TELL ENID!
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
NO, PETE, YOU AND I
NEED TO TALK.
COME BACK HERE.
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
THIS ENDS NOW!
PETE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
[KNOB RATTLES]
OPEN THIS DOOR!
PETE, ARE YOU
IN THERE?
SPECULUM TOTUS TURGUM...
QUATURGUM VONERO.
[KNOB CLATTERS]
WHOA!
PETE!
PETE!
PETE?
ARISETH HIND LEGGUMS...
DARN IT.
WAKUM UPPEM!
SHOOT!
NOW, THAT'S MAGIC.
THAT'S ALL
MY STUFF, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'VE DONE.
I'VE STOPPED YOU FROM HEXING ME!
IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT,
THAT I WANTED
TO HURT YOU?
YOU IDIOT!
OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN CURSED!
I WASN'T HEXING YOU!
I WAS PROTECTING YOU!
I WAS PROTECTING ALL OF US,
BUT NOW WE'RE DOOMED.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN I FELL
OFF A HORSE AT SCHOOL.
THEN AT A CAMP-OUT,
MY SLEEVE CAUGHT FIRE.
THAT'S WHEN I MET ENID,
AND TOLD ME
I'D BEEN CURSED.
SHE'S THE ONE WHO
TAUGHT YOU MAGIC, RIGHT?
SHE'S JUST
A BEGINNER, TOO,
BUT WE PRACTICED
EVERY
NIGHT. WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME?
I TRIED TO.
THAT'S WHY I GAVE
MOM AND DAD
THE STOP-TIME POTION
AT DINNER,
BUT YOU RAN OUT
BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE.
SO IT WASN'T YOU
WHO MADE MY VOLCANO BLOW UP?
WHY WOULD I HURT YOU?
YOU'RE MY KID BROTHER.
BUT WHAT ABOUT...
HI, ENID?
ALICE...
NOT SO GOOD.
I PUT A TIME-STOP SPELL
ON MY PARENTS,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO BREAK IT.
WHAT?
YOU DON'T EITHER?
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
ENID THINKS IT'LL WEAR OFF.
YEAH, WHAT IF IT DOESN'T?
WE NEED TO STAY CALM.
BEST I CAN TELL, WE'VE BEEN
BOUND BY A SEIOR CURSE.
OH, GREAT.
FROZEN PARENTS
AND A SEIOR CURSE.
WHAT'S A SEIOR CURSE?
WELL, I-IT STARTS OFF
WITH MISFORTUNE,
AND THEN ROBS ITS VICTIMS
OF THEIR WEALTH, HEALTH,
SANITY,
AND, FINALLY, THEIR LIFE.
WHO WOULD DO THAT TO US?
AND WHY?
WELL, THAT'S THE PART
I CAN'T FIGURE OUT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY ENEMIES
THAT I KNOW OF.
[RATTLING]
WHAT WAS THAT?
WHAT'S WHAT?
IT STOPPED.
THIS SPELL STUFF
IS MAKING ME JUMPY.
I DON'T LIKE FINDING
WITCHY JUNK IN MY SHOES.
[CLAPPING] WAKE UP!
MOM, DAD, COME ON!
YOUR SHOES, THAT'S IT!
WHAT?
IT HAD TO BE SOMEONE
WHO COULD GET INTO OUR HOUSE
AND PLANT A TALISMAN
IN YOUR SHOE.
SOMEONE WHO COMES HERE
ALL THE TIME.
IT COULD HAVE
BEEN REGGIE.
NO, NO WAY IT WAS REGGIE.
HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!
HAVEN'T YOU EVER NOTICED
HE'S JEALOUS OF YOU?
I'VE SEEN THE WAY
HE LOOKS AT YOUR BADGES.
WELL, HE WAS THE ONE
WHO KEPT INSISTING
YOU WERE A WITCH,
AND HE GRABBED
A PIECE OF MY HAIR
OUT OF MY HAND.
ENID FOUND THIS THING
CALLED A "REVEALING SPELL."
PROBLEM IS,
IT CALLS FOR BAT GUANO,
AND WE DON'T EXACTLY HAVE
A LOT OF BATS
AROUND HERE.
WE LEARNED IN PALS
THAT THE CHINESE
CREATED GUN POWDER
BY DRYING OUT
BAT DROPPINGS.
BAT GUANO CONTAINS
SODIUM NITRATE.
WE HAVE TONS OF IT
IN THE PAL'S CHEMICAL CLOSET.
HOW DO WE GET IN?
REGGIE HAS KEYS.
I'LL TELL HIM
I NEED SODIUM NITRATE
TO TEST MY VOLCANO.
[RATTLING]
IT'S COMING FROM IN THERE.
[RATTLING]
[SCREAMING]
[HISSING AND RATTLING]
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
WHAT ABOUT THEM?
[GASPS]
HUH?
DONNA?
WHAT?
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
THANKS, REGGIE,
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH, I'M JUST GLAD
YOU GOT YOUR
VOLCANO FIXED.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO
YOUR SISTER?
DID YOU BURN
HER SPELL BOOK?
YEAH, AND LET ME
TELL YOU,
SHE WAS NOT HAPPY.
PETE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
YOU'RE POURING
SODIUM NITRATE
ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOS...
PETE, IT'S YOUR SISTER!
SHE-SHE'S USING
HER MAGIC STUFF!
[STRUGGLING]
PETE, HELP!
SHE'S TRYING TO
MAKE ME HER PUPPET!
DON'T WORRY, REGGIE,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
WE?
YOU'RE HELPING HER?
QUIT ACTING LIKE
YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
YOU'RE THE BLACK MAGICIAN
AROUND HERE.
I CAN'T MOVE--
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOUS...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DON'T SACRIFICE ME!
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOUS!
IT'S NO USE.
THE IMAGE IS TOO BLURRY.
WHOEVER CURSED US MUST HAVE
USED A CLOAKING SPELL.
[GASPING
AND STRUGGLING]
YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!
I'M TELLING
BILLY MERRITT.
YOU ARE GONNA GET
KICKED OUT OF PALS!
ME? WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WILLIAM MERRITT?
WILLIE-NILLIE?
YOU KNOW BILLY?
FROM LAST YEAR.
HE ASKED ME OUT,
LIKE, A THOUSAND TIMES
UNTIL I FINALLY
HAD TO READ
ONE OF HIS GROSS
LOVE NOTES
IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS.
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HIM--
I DIDN'T
FORGET YOU.
BILLY, YOU'RE A WITCH?
THE PROPER TERM IS "WARLOCK."
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS
PRAISING SCIENCE!
THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
WAS A GREAT BOON TO OUR KIND.
PEOPLE STOPPED
BELIEVING IN MAGIC,
ALLOWING US TO THRIVE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, BILLY?
I WANT TO HUMILIATE YOU
THE WAY YOU HUMILIATED ME!
[CLEARS THROAT]
BILLY, CAN I GO HOME NOW?
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
YOU TOOK MY HAIR
AND PUT IT IN MY BOOT?
HE PROMISED ME BADGES
IF I'D HELP.
BADGES, PETE.
BADGES...
SPECULUM TOTUS--
DON'T EVEN TRY IT.
SEE THOSE MIRRORS
LINING THE WALLS?
INSIDE THIS ROOM,
YOUR MAGIC
IS POWERLESS AGAINST ME.
REGGIE, I FORGOT TO THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT?
FOR TELLING ME ABOUT
HOW WITCHES CAN USE
PERSONAL OBJECTS
TO CONTROL SOMEONE.
I HAVE YOUR SURVEILLANCE BADGE.
NOW I CAN CONTROL YOU, REGGIE.
CANOTROLIUM OWNERIUS PUPPETUM--
NICE TRICK,
BUT REGGIE CAN'T HURT ME.
[GROANING
AND STRUGGLING]
NOT YOU...
JUST YOUR SPELL.
SINCE HE'S UNDER
MY CONTROL NOW--
[REGGIE YELPS, MIRROR SMASHES]
[MIRRORS SMASHING]
TWO CAN PLAY AT THIS GAME.
EXISTO--
TOO BAD YOU'LL
NEVER GET A CHANCE
TO USE YOUR WICKED SPELL.
[PETE]: ALICE, DON'T!
[THUD]
EXISTO...
INEXCHAGUS FORUMS
HUMANO-TADUM...
DOMUN...

I'LL SEW IT ON FOR YOU
WHEN WE GET HOME.
THANKS.
JUNIOR SCIENTIST BADGE...
[SIGHS]
I WISH I HAD ONE.
NICE PRESENTATION, SON.
VERY INFORMATIVE.
THANK YOU, SIR.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO GO WITH YOUR VOLCANO.
WHAT MADE YOU SWITCH
TO A LECTURE ON TOADS?
IT WAS
HIS SISTER'S IDEA.
SHE GOES
TO BOARDING SCHOOL.
OH, I SEE.
WELL, I GUESS YOU SHOULD
THANK YOUR SISTER.
WELL, IT WAS REALLY
BILLY MERRITT'S IDEA.
I SEE.
WELL, THEN, YOU'LL HAVE TO
THANK BILLY MERRITT.
YES, SIR, I WILL.
WELL DONE.
THANK YOU,
BILLY MERRITT.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'VE DONE.
I'VE STOPPED YOU FROM HEXING ME!
IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT,
THAT I WANTED
TO HURT YOU?
YOU IDIOT!
OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN CURSED!
I WASN'T HEXING YOU!
I WAS PROTECTING YOU!
I WAS PROTECTING ALL OF US,
BUT NOW WE'RE DOOMED.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN I FELL
OFF A HORSE AT SCHOOL.
THEN AT A CAMP-OUT,
MY SLEEVE CAUGHT FIRE.
THAT'S WHEN I MET ENID,
AND TOLD ME
I'D BEEN CURSED.
SHE'S THE ONE WHO
TAUGHT YOU MAGIC, RIGHT?
SHE'S JUST
A BEGINNER, TOO,
BUT WE PRACTICED
EVERY
NIGHT. WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME?
I TRIED TO.
THAT'S WHY I GAVE
MOM AND DAD
THE STOP-TIME POTION
AT DINNER,
BUT YOU RAN OUT
BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE.
SO IT WASN'T YOU
WHO MADE MY VOLCANO BLOW UP?
WHY WOULD I HURT YOU?
YOU'RE MY KID BROTHER.
BUT WHAT ABOUT...
HI, ENID?
ALICE...
NOT SO GOOD.
I PUT A TIME-STOP SPELL
ON MY PARENTS,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO BREAK IT.
WHAT?
YOU DON'T EITHER?
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
ENID THINKS IT'LL WEAR OFF.
YEAH, WHAT IF IT DOESN'T?
WE NEED TO STAY CALM.
BEST I CAN TELL, WE'VE BEEN
BOUND BY A SEIOR CURSE.
OH, GREAT.
FROZEN PARENTS
AND A SEIOR CURSE.
WHAT'S A SEIOR CURSE?
WELL, I-IT STARTS OFF
WITH MISFORTUNE,
AND THEN ROBS ITS VICTIMS
OF THEIR WEALTH, HEALTH,
SANITY,
AND, FINALLY, THEIR LIFE.
WHO WOULD DO THAT TO US?
AND WHY?
WELL, THAT'S THE PART
I CAN'T FIGURE OUT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY ENEMIES
THAT I KNOW OF.
[RATTLING]
WHAT WAS THAT?
WHAT'S WHAT?
IT STOPPED.
THIS SPELL STUFF
IS MAKING ME JUMPY.
I DON'T LIKE FINDING
WITCHY JUNK IN MY SHOES.
[CLAPPING] WAKE UP!
MOM, DAD, COME ON!
YOUR SHOES, THAT'S IT!
WHAT?
IT HAD TO BE SOMEONE
WHO COULD GET INTO OUR HOUSE
AND PLANT A TALISMAN
IN YOUR SHOE.
SOMEONE WHO COMES HERE
ALL THE TIME.
IT COULD HAVE
BEEN REGGIE.
NO, NO WAY IT WAS REGGIE.
HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!
HAVEN'T YOU EVER NOTICED
HE'S JEALOUS OF YOU?
I'VE SEEN THE WAY
HE LOOKS AT YOUR BADGES.
WELL, HE WAS THE ONE
WHO KEPT INSISTING
YOU WERE A WITCH,
AND HE GRABBED
A PIECE OF MY HAIR
OUT OF MY HAND.
ENID FOUND THIS THING
CALLED A "REVEALING SPELL."
PROBLEM IS,
IT CALLS FOR BAT GUANO,
AND WE DON'T EXACTLY HAVE
A LOT OF BATS
AROUND HERE.
WE LEARNED IN PALS
THAT THE CHINESE
CREATED GUN POWDER
BY DRYING OUT
BAT DROPPINGS.
BAT GUANO CONTAINS
SODIUM NITRATE.
WE HAVE TONS OF IT
IN THE PAL'S CHEMICAL CLOSET.
HOW DO WE GET IN?
REGGIE HAS KEYS.
I'LL TELL HIM
I NEED SODIUM NITRATE
TO TEST MY VOLCANO.
[RATTLING]
IT'S COMING FROM IN THERE.
[RATTLING]
[SCREAMING]
[HISSING AND RATTLING]
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
WHAT ABOUT THEM?
[GASPS]
HUH?
DONNA?
WHAT?
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
THANKS, REGGIE,
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
YEAH, I'M JUST GLAD
YOU GOT YOUR
VOLCANO FIXED.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO
YOUR SISTER?
DID YOU BURN
HER SPELL BOOK?
YEAH, AND LET ME
TELL YOU,
SHE WAS NOT HAPPY.
PETE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
YOU'RE POURING
SODIUM NITRATE
ALL OVER THE FLOOR.
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOS...
PETE, IT'S YOUR SISTER!
SHE-SHE'S USING
HER MAGIC STUFF!
[STRUGGLING]
PETE, HELP!
SHE'S TRYING TO
MAKE ME HER PUPPET!
DON'T WORRY, REGGIE,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HURT YOU.
WE?
YOU'RE HELPING HER?
QUIT ACTING LIKE
YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
YOU'RE THE BLACK MAGICIAN
AROUND HERE.
I CAN'T MOVE--
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOUS...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DON'T SACRIFICE ME!
PELIUS INFACTUM REVELIOUS!
IT'S NO USE.
THE IMAGE IS TOO BLURRY.
WHOEVER CURSED US MUST HAVE
USED A CLOAKING SPELL.
[GASPING
AND STRUGGLING]
YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!
I'M TELLING
BILLY MERRITT.
YOU ARE GONNA GET
KICKED OUT OF PALS!
ME? WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WILLIAM MERRITT?
WILLIE-NILLIE?
YOU KNOW BILLY?
FROM LAST YEAR.
HE ASKED ME OUT,
LIKE, A THOUSAND TIMES
UNTIL I FINALLY
HAD TO READ
ONE OF HIS GROSS
LOVE NOTES
IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS.
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HIM--
I DIDN'T
FORGET YOU.
BILLY, YOU'RE A WITCH?
THE PROPER TERM IS "WARLOCK."
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS
PRAISING SCIENCE!
THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION
WAS A GREAT BOON TO OUR KIND.
PEOPLE STOPPED
BELIEVING IN MAGIC,
ALLOWING US TO THRIVE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, BILLY?
I WANT TO HUMILIATE YOU
THE WAY YOU HUMILIATED ME!
[CLEARS THROAT]
BILLY, CAN I GO HOME NOW?
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
YOU TOOK MY HAIR
AND PUT IT IN MY BOOT?
HE PROMISED ME BADGES
IF I'D HELP.
BADGES, PETE.
BADGES...
SPECULUM TOTUS--
DON'T EVEN TRY IT.
SEE THOSE MIRRORS
LINING THE WALLS?
INSIDE THIS ROOM,
YOUR MAGIC
IS POWERLESS AGAINST ME.
REGGIE, I FORGOT TO THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT?
FOR TELLING ME ABOUT
HOW WITCHES CAN USE
PERSONAL OBJECTS
TO CONTROL SOMEONE.
I HAVE YOUR SURVEILLANCE BADGE.
NOW I CAN CONTROL YOU, REGGIE.
CANOTROLIUM OWNERIUS PUPPETUM--
NICE TRICK,
BUT REGGIE CAN'T HURT ME.
[GROANING
AND STRUGGLING]
NOT YOU...
JUST YOUR SPELL.
SINCE HE'S UNDER
MY CONTROL NOW--
[REGGIE YELPS, MIRROR SMASHES]
[MIRRORS SMASHING]
TWO CAN PLAY AT THIS GAME.
EXISTO--
TOO BAD YOU'LL
NEVER GET A CHANCE
TO USE YOUR WICKED SPELL.
[PETE]: ALICE, DON'T!
[THUD]
EXISTO...
INEXCHAGUS FORUMS
HUMANO-TADUM...
DOMUN...
INEXCHAGUS FORUMS
HUMANO-TADUM!
INEXCHAGUS FORUMS
HUMANO-TADUM!
OH... MY...
THAT'S GREAT, PETE.
I'LL SEW IT ON FOR YOU
WHEN WE GET HOME.
THANKS.
JUNIOR SCIENTIST BADGE...
[SIGHS]
I WISH I HAD ONE.
NICE PRESENTATION, SON.
VERY INFORMATIVE.
THANK YOU, SIR.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO GO WITH YOUR VOLCANO.
WHAT MADE YOU SWITCH
TO A LECTURE ON TOADS?
IT WAS
HIS SISTER'S IDEA.
SHE GOES
TO BOARDING SCHOOL.
OH, I SEE.
WELL, I GUESS YOU SHOULD
THANK YOUR SISTER.
WELL, IT WAS REALLY
BILLY MERRITT'S IDEA.
I SEE.
WELL, THEN, YOU'LL HAVE TO
THANK BILLY MERRITT.
YES, SIR, I WILL.
WELL DONE.
THANK YOU,
BILLY MERRITT.
