Ted, Sabrina and others in “Pilot”

[voice muffled by the pages] Sabrina, open me up!

No!

We have to talk, young lady! Open me up this instant!

No! I don’t want to talk to a book. Oh God, I’m talking to a book! [opens the book] I can’t be a witch! Witches don’t exist!

Honey, I know this is hard, but you just have to accept it. You’re not like other kids - you’re special.

I don’t wanna be special, I wanna be normal!

I understand, but... that ship has sailed.

None of this makes sense. I mean, all these years, I thought you were travelling with the Foreign Service!

I am; It’s just a lot more foreign than you thought.

And Mom? Has she really been digging for fossils in Peru?

Yes, she is.

Then I wanna go live with her.

You can’t. You see, there’s a rule: If you set eyes on your mother in the next two years, she’ll turn into a ball of wax.

What?!

It’s the way they discourage Mortal-Witch marriages.

So, is that the reason you and Mom got divorced?

No.

[hopeful] So, d’ya think maybe you could get back together?

No - that’s another ship that’s sailed. [Sabrina deflates] You’re going to be fine. Just take some time, and think about all this. And, if you ever need me, I’m in the index.
