Sabrina, the Animated Series (1999–2000): Season 1, Episode 6 - Witch Switch - full transcript

Sabrina, sick of her seemingly mediocre existence decides the grass must be greener on the other side. She casts a spell that switches her life with Gem's. Sabrina soon becomes bored with Gem's spoon-fed lifestyle and wants to go home. But Gem, now holding Sabrina's witch-power doesn't want to give it up! Sabrina must trick Gem into switching lives again.

Uh-oh!

No!

-Can we ix-nay the sound effects?
-Hmm.

Sabrina.

Spooky sounds are supposed
to inspire the potion-making.

You want me to be inspired?
Tell me I'm done.

Hmm.

Not until you bring that time-freeze
potion to a frothy boil.

And after that,
you have Ancient Voodoo Practices...

...Hexes 101, and advanced levitation.

Hello. I'm only one humble 12 year old.



Other kids don't have to do
any of this stuff.

Other kids aren't half-witches, like you.

So I get saddled with witchwork
and mortal chores?

Can we say,
"prisoner in my own home"?

Sabrina, get over it.

Everyone has different
responsibilities in life.

And what you're learning here
is very important.

Like bringing dragon
slop to a boil is really gonna matter...

-...in the grand scheme of life.
-Um, that's zombie slop.

Whatever. All I know is that
every other kid in Greendale...

...is out having a life, and I'm stuck here
doing witchwork with the homegirls.

My life is so not normal.

Uh-oh.

-Yuck!
-Looks normal to me.



Yup.

-Sabrina?
-Harvey. Uh, hi. Don't mind me.

I was just mixing some potions--
I mean, lotions, and the caldron--

I mean, bottle-- Exploded.

Uh, right.

Listen, Chuck Hansen
scored a block of tickets...

...to the Spicy Backstreet Guys II Men
concert tonight.

Forty bucks a person. You in?

So in! Give me a minute to tap
the cash pipeline.

No can go, Sabrina.

But, Uncle Quigley,
this is crucial concert-going.

If I don't show, everybody's going to think
I'm a total melvin.

And where do you think
you're going to get the money to go?

-Uh, you?
-I'm not a bank, Sabrina.

I just gave you money two nights ago.
Besides, did you forget that tonight...

...is family night? The family
that plays together, stays together.

I've got Trivia Whiz.

But-- But Harvey's family's
letting him go.

That's their choice.

Your family wants you to stay home
for some quality time.

Ugh! I have no freedom to do anything.

Don't sweat it, Sabrina.
Maybe next time, okay?

Yeah.

Oh. If I ever get a life.

Pick me! Me, Gem!
Please pick me!

Oh, man.

Going to your birthday party
would mean instant coolness.

Take pity on me, Gem, for I am nerd.

Oh, a nerd. Oh...

Aw....

Okay, you can come.

Hurrah! I'll get my starfleet uniform
cleaned and pressed.

You better not forget my present.

Okay, people, who else among you
is a chosen one?

- Me! Please! Me!
- How about you?

-Gem, please!
-Come on, pick me!

What cruel act is Gem up to now?

Passing out tickets
to her big birthday bash tonight.

-Already got mine.
-A party on a school night?

Talk about freedom.

I guess rich kids get to do
whatever they want.

-You should go, Sabrina.
-To a Gem Stone party?

I'd have more fun getting my body
dissected by aliens.

Oh, come on, 'Brina.
Don't make me go by myself.

Please, please, please?

Oh, all right, but you owe me big.

She's in there!

-Can we leave now?
-Come on, Sabrina.

You got to admit, this party rocks.

Sure, but take away
the 100-dollar door prizes...

...and Puff Daddy's live performance...

...and it's really just a run-of-the-mill
hoedown, nothing special.

All-expenses-paid trip to France,
compliments of Gem.

Care for one?

-Wow!
-Whoa!

Nice try, Willie, but now it's my turn.

Montgomery?

oh, look. I win.

-Happy birthday to me.
-Did you see that?

Yeah.
That Montgomery's got a great swing.

Oh, brother.

Okay, everybody.

I just want to thank you all
for coming to honor me.

And yes, I agree.
Your little lives are so much better...

...because of my birth, and I-- Huh?

I smell unworthiness.

Unworthiness? Oh, no.

Unworthiness....

Ooh....

But, Gem, you invited me.

For one simple reason.

Every party needs a scapegoat,
and you are it.

Okay, who else is unworthy
of being in my presence?

Spellman?

Please push the button.
You'll be doing me a favor.

What are you babbling about,
Spellman?

You're an extra special guest
who gets the personal tour...

...of my 100-room mansion.

She's up to something.

This is where Daddy's people
create all my fabulous toys.

Hello, everyone!

That one is evil.

One day, brother, a revolution.

They adore me.

All aboard!

Gem, you have your own train?

Theme park: Gemmyland.

Opens next summer.

Awesome!

Man. You're so rich, I bet you don't even
have to do chores and stuff.

What is this word, "chores"?

You'd know if you stayed
at my house for a week.

I have servants
who take care of my every whim...

...and no one, but no one, ever
tells me what to do...

...because it's my life!

You mean, you get to plan
your own day?

You get to do whatever you want?

No potions, no hexes,
no Uncle Quigley family night?

Ha, ha.
High altitude makes me excitable.

You should've seen it, Salem.
Biggest house I've ever seen.

Maids and butlers,
candy dispensers in every room.

Yeah. Well, welcome back
to reality, princess.

The aunties wanted me to make sure
you checked out this week's witchwork list.

Hmm. Huh?

Oh, why am I the only kid in Greendale
living with a family of slave drivers?

No one else does. Look at Gem.
She has freedom, a life she's in charge of.

I want Gem Stone's life!

Ahem.
Well, there is a way to make that happen.

What are you waiting for?

Your new life is but a zippity-zap away.

It's spooky time.

Two hearts will now trade places

Two realities will now switch faces

Once necklaces of magic are worn

You'll swap lives like
That's the way you were born

The spell can only end provided

The yin and yang necklace is reunited

Huh?

Hmm. The spell said both necklaces
have to be worn.

So how do we get Gem
to wear the necklace?

Hmm.

Pay attention. They're almost under us.

Ruby, hurry up and do your business.

Hmm.

-More?
-Can't!

He shoots, he scores!

Hey! What's the big idea?

-Ha, ha.
-Here we go!

Time to rise and shine!

Hmm?

But it's only 5 in the morning,
Auntie Zelda.

Zelda? This is Mrs. Chillings.

Time to get up, Miss Stone.

Salem, did you hear that?

She called me Miss Stone.
The spell worked!

I've switched lives with Gem!

I'm the richest girl in Greendale.
Woo-hoo! Is this place styling or what?

Now I see why you liked it here.

This mama casa has everything!

I could get used to this.

Good morning, Miss Stone.

Master Salem, please choose a level.

Did he just call me "master"?

Would you prefer Lord Salem?

King Salem? Czar Salem I?

"Master" will do all right for now.

Boy, oh, boy.
Quig's gonna learn some new words...

-...when we get home.
-Let's try level 3, please.

Wow!

No way. This is totally jamming.

We hit pay dirt, baby!

Yahoo!

I can finally live life the way I want to.

A whole day living
in the lap of luxury...

...with no one telling me what to do!

Aha. There you are, Miss Stone.

We're already running behind schedule.

Guess rich people are so important,
they need schedules, huh?

Indeed. As your personal assistant...

...it's my job to make certain
you stick to yours.

Hear that, Salem?

I've got a personal assistant.

Meow.

So when do I get to meet
my cool new family--

-I mean, meet for breakfast?
-Immediately, madam.

-Maybe we can all go yachting tonight.
-I highly doubt that.

Huh?

Oh, absolutely, Enid.

You wouldn't have believed the size
of that rock on her hand.

Just absolutely gorgeous.

Ha, ha. Well, sweetheart, if you
just learned to work on your backhand....

Uh, good morning.

I said, good morning, Mom and Dad!

-Oh, uh, good morning, Sabrina.
-I'm on the phone, dear.

Yeah, well, I just thought
maybe we could, you know, talk.

Not now, Sabrina.
Stocks are up. Shares holding.

Investments solid.

-Mom?
-Sabrina, can't you see I'm busy?

Anyway, did you see
the cheap engagement ring he gave her?

And she still loves him. Ha, ha.

I was just thinking
maybe we could spend the day together.

Take a ride on the horses
out by the stable.

-Charles, will you do something?
-Oh, yes. Sabrina...

...you wouldn't want us to smother you
with attention, now, would you?

Independence builds character.

Now, run along before we have you
shipped off to boarding school.

Huh?

Man! You call these parents? Ooh!

No wonder Gem is such a little brat. Huh?

Time to move on, Miss Stone.

You're falling behind
on your morning activities.

Activities?

Whoa! Oof!

That's it for your warm-up.
Now it's time for your real workout.

Unh! Hi.

No!

Hey, you.

How goes it, my partner in pleasure?

Not great. Anything about
this place bother you?

Is this a trick question?

Loofah, please.

Mm.

Me likey.

Don't you think this place is kind of
missing something?

Yeah, Hilda, Zelda, Quigley,
and the smell of middle-class life.

-Salem, I'm serious.
-So am I.

Remember how miserable
you were back home?

Witchwork and mortal chores
and never any freedom.

You're right.
Maybe I'm just overreacting.

- Sabrina!
- Harv! Boy, am I glad to see you.

Miss Stone, the details!
Miss stone, your father's stock...

...has just skyrocketed, and you've become
the richest girl in the world.

Are you excited? How do you feel?

Will you leave me alone?

I'm just trying to have a normal life!

Miss Stone! Wait, Miss Stone!

Give us some answers, info!
How about it?

Miss Stone, we need details!
Wait, Miss Stone! Give us some answers!

Phew.

Okay, that's it.
I've got to find Gem...

...and unite our necklaces,
because I've had enough.

Good luck, Spellman...

-...or should I call you Stone?
-Gem?

That's right. I'm a bona fide half-witch...

...just like you used to be, and I
absolutely love my new magic powers.

what is your wish, O mistress?

Just adore me for now.

Look, I've made
a Cost-Club-size mistake.

We have to switch back.

-Aah!
-As if!

Being a witch is way too much fun,
Sabrina.

Beats me why you wanted to swap lives.

What have I done?

Wait. Aunt Hilda and Zelda,
Uncle Quigley. They can help me.

Sorry, but I've never laid eyes on you
in my life, little girl.

But, Uncle Quigley, I'm your niece,
Sabrina.

I only have one niece. Gem Spellman.

Never visits, though.
Wish I did have a friendly niece like you.

Where's Aunt Hilda and Zelda?

Oh, right-- Those nice girls
that used to live with us.

They're up on the roof.

I'm afraid they were no match
for Gem's magic.

The house. It's a major disaster!

Why bother cleaning? It's just me.

No fun and games around here.

You should probably go back home,
little girl.

I wish I could.

-I'm sure your family misses you.
-Not half as much as I miss them.

Aha.

-You have a lot of explaining to do.
-Oh, no.

I just received
your daily progress reports...

...on your morning activities. Below par.

Unacceptable for a Stone.

Someone's been getting
a little too much liberty around here.

No, no, not you, Joyce.
Our daughter Sabrina.

But I'm sure it's nothing boarding school
won't straighten out.

Boarding school?

Hey, let me go!

You can't do this to me.
Let me out of here.

Hey, what's all the excitement?

Salem, we got to get out of here now!

Are you nuts?
I ain't leaving the pleasure dome.

No way, no how. Uh-uh. That's final.

Oh, yes, doctor. I'd like to make
an appointment to have my kitty fixed.

Like I was saying, let's blow this joint.

Ready?

Whoops.
I should really get those trimmed.

Come on! I think I got an idea.

She's getting away! After her!

I can't believe
we actually made it back home.

During my last witchwork session...

...Hilda and Zelda taught me
how to make a potion...

...that stops time for everyone but me.

Ah!

We know you're in there, Miss Stone!

Uh....

Sabrina, it's Daddy.

You need to turn yourself in right now,
before things get out of hand.

Um, you want to say something,
sweetums?

I'm on the phone.

Classic. I'm almost done, Salem. I--

Oh, no!

- I'm out of powdered dragon tail.
you have 60 seconds...

...to come out peacefully, Miss Stone.

Quick, Salem, before this boils!
Bring me the dragon tail...

...from the downstairs spice rack. Hurry!

What's all the racket?
Who are you people?

What's going on here?

Salem to the rescue!

Yikes! Aah!

Aha! Oh....

Huh?

Huh?

Spiders. Why couldn't it be snakes?
I like snakes.

I'm the best at what I do, bub.

Your web is no match
for my fists of furry!

Ooh!

You two be sure to send me
a wedding invitation, now.

Whoa!

Repeat, we are coming in, Miss Stone.

Here's your dragon tail.

I'm going to go inventory
what's left of my nine lives.

This ought to do it.

Hmm. Little witch girl
is up to something.

Just what do you think
you're doing, Stone?

Freezing time.
And the name is Spellman!

What are you...? No!

I did it! It worked!

With memories erased, let us rewind.

Reality is restored for peace of mind.

Hmm.

Huh? I'm back in my room.

Salem, we're back! We're home!

-When did we leave?
-You don't remember anything?

Then how come I do?
Maybe I'm-- I'm supposed to.

Good morning, Aunt Hilda, Aunt Zelda!

I'm so glad to see you guys.

Can't wait to hit the witchwork
when I get home from school.

-Never know when it will come in handy.
-Huh?

Hey, Uncle Quig! Think we could play
a round of Trivia Whiz tonight?

But it's not even family fun night.

So? Day I've had,
I could use some family bonding.

Well, you're on, Sabrina.

Feeling lucky all of a sudden?

No. I've been lucky all along.
I just didn't realize it.

Looks like a happy ending
for everybody, huh?

Ready, aim, fire!

Oh....

Freaks.
