Sabrina's Secret Life (2003–2004): Season 1, Episode 11 - Pet Peeve - full transcript

Sabrina wishes she had a pet. Oh, Salem's okay as a pal, but as a loving furball, he doesn't cut it. So when Sabrina opens the door and finds a cute little hamster curled up on the doorstep, she immediately takes him under her wing. The little guy seems to love Sabrina, but is terrified of Salem, (rightly so, because to Salem he's just snack food.) However, Sabrina promises the hamster, which she names Spunky, that she'll protect him and give him a good home. Salem doesn't like the sound of that. He's suspicious of the hamster. He senses there's something not quite right about him, and whatever it is, it's raising Salem's hackles. Salem's suspicions are confirmed when two Netherworld police-witches show up at the front door wanting to know if he or Sabrina have seen a Gremlin that escaped from prison in the Netherworld, and somehow got through the gates to the mortal world. Sabrina is not sure what Gremlins are, and the police-witches explain: small, ill-tempered, rat-like creatures whose whole existence revolves around making mischief. Nope, haven't seen one. But Salem isn't so sure-it doesn't take a major spell to make a rat look like a hamster! After the posse leaves, Salem decides to keep a close eye on the new guest. Not close enough! Things start going wrong-and all of them seem to be Salem's doing. When Salem confronts Spunky, the hamster shows his real colors-turning into a rat right in front of him-but not in front of Sabrina, who refuses to believe Salem's story. So Salem goes to the Netherworld police and tells all. But when the police-witches come to call, Spunky invokes the Sanctuary Clause-Sabrina promised to protect him and give him a home, and since she is half-witch, they can't touch him. The police-witches go away empty-handed, and Salem and Spunky are at war. Things escalate until the mischief becomes malicious, and finally Sabrina has had enough. She tells Spunky he has to go.

♪Sabrina's Secret Life!

Alright, Sabrina...

you're up!

What spell have you
been working on this week?

Well... actually Mr. Snipe...

since it's your
birthday today,

I've been working on a
special birthday cake spell.

Ehh, how thoughtful, Sabrina.

How ordinary.

Bravo!

Looks like a
delicious "A" to me.

But the candles
aren't even lit.

No problemo.

Come on...



Huhh, my bad!

Okay, I can fix it.

Douse the fire,
stop the threat,

Rain a LITTLE - VERY WET.

Hmmm, not bad...

Oh great.

It rained a
"little furry pet."

Nice touch.

Oh my gosh!

You're the cutest
little thing I've ever seen!

Oh...

I'm keeping you.

Honey, be happy that
he's letting you do the

assignment over.

Back in my day, we would
have been booted out of

witch school.

I know I did the
spell right...

It just was like my
magic got a boost.

That's how I got
little Spunky here.

Oh!

I think he smiled at me.

No, he smiled at me...

So, can I keep Spunky?

How could we say
no to that face?

Aren't we forgetting
Salem's a cat?

Are you kidding?

He'll love him!

Are you kidding?

I'll love him!

Hmmm, with a little
salt, a little pepper...

He'll fit right in.

Don't even think about it.

Spunky is my new pet.

And what am I?

You're a warlock turned into
a cat for trying to take over

the world.

Not exactly
cuddly pet material.

You cut me deep, Sabrina.

And clean this place up!

Spunky could get hurt in here!

You better believe it...

What was that?

I said, you better believe
it'll be done by the time you

get home from school tomorrow.

There's something I don't like
about that little fur ball.

Can I begin?

As you can see I have my
flame-retardant suit on.

So that means, you
can begin, Sabrina.

I am going to do a variation
on the birthday spell...

and do an earth
day birthday spell,

which should, uh... work.

Mr. Snipe, can I,
like, be excused?

I'm allergic to whatever
catastrophe she's going to

create.

Let's try being a
little supportive.

Go ahead, Sabrina.

Okay.

You can do this.

All you need is
a birthday cake.

Just warming up...

Awesome Smellman!

How was school today, dear?

If it wasn't for Spunky, it
would've been a total complete

catastrophic disaster.

Would you like some cake?

Anything but...

Oh... hello.

Gimme a break, Salem okay?

Just tell me you
cleaned your room.

Of course.

When have I EVER not
done what I was told?

Wait--don't answer that.

Cat's honor.

All put away.

Clean as a kitten.

I've been waiting
outside to show you.

Voila!

Salem!

Holy guacamole!

Sabrina, I swear, I
had everything put away.

Don't lie to me, Salem.

I'm telling you, I had
this place sparkling!

Why can't you be
more like Spunky?

Okay dust ball.

You may have Sabrina wrapped,
but I'm not buying it.

Salem?

Salem...

wake up.

You were having a nightmare.

He...

he turned into a
hideous creature.

He was going to eat me.

Who?

Him.

Come on Salem, stop
with the jealousy!

If you just give him a chance!

It's not jealousy.

I'm telling you there's
something not right about him,

and I'm gonna find out what!

How?

Just a little something I used
to catch George Washington

with that whole
cherry tree thing.

Hey!

The magic of this ring is
like a cosmic lie detector.

It'll bust He-Rat over
there once and for all.

Ta da!

It's gone!

Imagine that...

A compulsive liar
caught again...

Sabrina.

It was here.

HONEST.

You've cried wolf
too many times,

Salem...

Good night!

Spunky you're so
cute and talented.

Unlike other pets around here.

I bet you'd like to
help me with my spells.

No Sabrina!

Don't teach a monster
like that magic.

It's too dangerous!

Get a grip, Salem.

He's not a monster!

I know there've been occasions
in the past where I've...

uhnn, stretched the
truth a bit here and there.

But this time,
you've gotta believe me.

That thing is a
horrible, vicious monster!

Talk about a scaredy-cat.

Salem, you're embarrassing me.

Come on Spunky, let's
go practice some magic.

Maybe while you're gone you
can look for the "Tantric

Truth Ring of Tanzanaya"...

and while you're at
it, find a new attitude!

Freeze, pussikins.

Put the claws down and
step away from the catnip!

You gotta ask
yourself one question...

Do you feel lucky?

Well?

Do ya cat?

Who are you? The cliché squad?

No, they're busy.

We're Husky and Starch.

Detectives with the
Netherworld Police.

Look, that whole
broomstick thing was a big

misunderstanding.

I was just borrowing...

We're not here
about the broomstick.

Oh, well if you're here
about the 9 lives,

they were mine,
all ten of them...

I sw- I-I mean um...

Clam up Mr. Cat.

We're not here about any of
your long list of questionable

activities.

We're looking for this bozo.

Goes by the name
of Carnivorous.

A transforming Warlock.

He's as
dangerous as he is ugly.

We had him in lock
up - high security.

But he busted out by hitching
a ride on the spell of some

young W.I.T.

W.I.T.?

Witch In Training.

His main trick is transforming
himself into this- -- becoming

the pet of some
unsuspecting young witch.

Then he drains her magic,
growing stronger and stronger.

Until his victim is all
used up and goes into an

enchanted sleep.

It's not pretty.

Word on the street is
you might know something.

Start talking whiskers.

I might have a friend
who knows something.

But uh, he would be interested
in some kind of reward.

You help us and we'll put in
a good word for you with the

Witches' Councel.

Something that you haven't
had for a few hundred years.

What about getting them to
turn me back into a powerful

Warlock...

Don't push your luck.

If you see
Carnivorous, call us.

And don't try to
apprehend him yourself.

He'd chew you up and spit
you out like a bad hairball.

The reward will be much bigger
if I bring that little vermin

in myself...

with both the
Council and Sabrina!

Alrighty, Sabrina.

Let's get back
to the basics...

You know, jumps start
the old confidence.

Let's try a straightforward
levitation spell using your

wand. Please levitate
this paper.

Cassandra: It looks like
Sabrina's forgotten

everything we've learned.

Okay pal.

This is a cat-i-zen's arrest.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the
right to an attorney,

you have the ---
WHOOOOOAHHHHHH!

Aahhhh!

Ow ow

And, it seems, you have the
right to pound me senseless...

Salem!

I can't believe you're
picking on poor little Spunky!

Me? Spunky? I- J- Oh...

Alright cat.

There's only one way,
I'm gonna trust you.

And that's by running your
every word through a lie

detector.

So, tell the
truth, understand?

Yes.

He's telling the truth!

I know that.

Just tell me when he's lying.

Don't worry, I never lie.

He's lying!

Oops...

Alright, here's the truth, I
tried to bring him in alone,

but he beat the
kitty litter out of me.

I need your help, I'm
really worried about Sabrina.

How am I supposed to know if
you're telling the truth or

not?

You burned up the machine.

You have to believe me.

That nasty little monster
is draining Sabrina's power.

She's getting
weaker, I can see it.

She won't listen to me.

Not that I blame her.

(sigh) But I would just
hate to see something horrible

happen to her.

She's a good kid,
you have to help her.

I don't know
what's wrong with me...

None of my magic
seems to work.

I can't even levitate paper.

No fever.

I can barely stay
awake to do my homework.

(yawns) I've been so sleepy...

Maybe you're just
trying too hard.

Just try to relax, I'm sure
things'll go better next week.

Why don't you go up
and play with Spunky?

Yeah...

That might help.

Hey! What's going on?!

Who are you?

Netherworld Police, ma'am.

Husky and Starch.

We're the good guys.

What do you want?

Your cat here says you're
harboring a vicious criminal

fugitive disguised
as a harmless pet.

WHAT?!

He said, "Your cat here
says you're harboring..."

I heard what he said.

Salem, I can't believe you.

Telling lies to get poor,
sweet little Spunky arrested

just because
you're so jealous!

Spunky's my pet.

He's not a fugitive.

Unlike some animals
in this room.

If you knew about Salem,
you would know that he's a

compulsive liar...

and it looks like he's
not going to change.

Let's not get excited ma'am.

The fugitive we're
after, Carnivorous,

is a shape-shifter.

He could be your Spunky.

We need to check it out.

Spunky's no more a fugitive
than Salem is a compulsive...

non liar guy...

Besides, according
to Netherworld Law,

which I just happen to be
studying this semester,

you have no authority
here in this world.

She's right about that.

So, if you don't mind, I'm
really tired and I want to go

to sleep.

Nothing more we can do here.

Where is he?

Please Sabrina, Spunky
isn't what he seems.

You have to trust me.

Spunky!

There you are.

Come on down.

Happy now?

That's it, Salem.

I've had it.

I want you out of my room...

No, I want you
out of this house!

But Sabrina?

Haven't you noticed that
your magic is weakening?

That you're
sleepy all the time?

It's all part of
Spunky's evil plan!

If you won't believe
me, believe the evidence.

Out!

Now.

Alright, I can take a hint.

But I'm not
through with Spunky!

I don't know how
long I can take this.

Reduced to roughing it
like some toothless hermit...

And the ultimate hardship...

No Satellite dish!

There's nothing to watch!

Alright,
stay focused, Salem.

Maybe I should
order some pizza?

Pizza sounds good.

Uh, excuse me.

Ms. Spellman?

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Oh...

so...

tired.

Ms. Spellman.

Try to wake up.

We need to get you to safety.

I'm afraid that for
once, the cat wasn't lying.

The trail checked out.

We have every reason to
believe that your pet Spunky,

is in fact, not the cuddly
little fur ball you

think he is.

But Carnivorous, a
dangerous criminal.

What IS it with
everyone and Spunky?

He's just a sweet little pet.

See for yourselves.

Spunky?

It's okay, Spunky.

You can come out.

I won't let them hurt you.

That's odd.

SPUNKY?

Where are you?

Hmm.

I wonder whose ring that is...

and what it's
doing in Spunky's bed.

I am the Tantric
Truth Ring of Tanzanaya.

Ask and ye shall know...

THE TRUTH.

The Tantric Truth Ring
of -- Salem wasn't lying!

Has he been telling
the truth all along?

Ma'am, we have every reason to
believe that the cat could be

Carnivorous' next victim.

Where is the cat?

I..I...threw him out.

I didn't believe him...

Poor Salem!

We have to find him
before it's too late.

I'm going with you.

Our Squad Broom is
waiting outside.

I'm not afraid of ghosts...

I'm not afraid of ghosts...

I'm not afraid of ghosts...

I am, however, moderately
concerned about Transforming

Warlock Monsters.

There!

That's Salem.

Carnivorous!

Freeze!

Netherworld Police!

Whooooaaa!

You're under
arrest, fang face.

Yaaahhhh!

Whoooaaa!

Whooaa.

Sabrina! A little
help over here!

I feel...

so tired.

Must help Salem.

Clouds of black,
clouds of gray,

rain the dangerous fires away.

Worked...

Kinda...

He's too powerful.

I can't stop him.

He's using your
magic against you.

It's part of his
spell as your pet!

Evil warlock, your
match you've met,

My powers are mine,
cause you're not my pet.

Another happy ending.

Book 'em Starch.

You have the right to
remain... violent.

Err, I-I mean, I
mean, "Silent".

You have the right
to a torn knee...

Uh, uh, have you seen
my reading glasses?

Well...

it's just us again.

I'm sorry I didn't
know when to believe you.

You know that Tantric Truth
Ring of Tanzanaya of yours?

What about it?

Did you really use it to catch
George Washington lying about

the cherry tree?

Of course I did...

"I cannot tell a lie..."

Ring: Lie! Lie! Lie! Lie! Lie!

I've always hated that thing.
