Sabrina, Amanda and others in “A Halloween Story”

Hi, Amanda. I’m your cousin, Sabrina.

You better be nice to me, or I’ll put you in a jar.

[taken back] Excuse me?

I put all the people who aren’t nice to me in jars. [picks up a jar with a tiny person trapped inside, and puts it on the table] This is Mr. Altree; he tried to teach me math.

Can he breath in there?

Yes, I gave him air holes. [to the man in the jar] Here’s a math problem, Mr. Altree: five air holes minus one air hole is how many? [places her finger over one of the air holes]

[frightened] No, please! I wanna live! [gets down on his knees] I wanna live!

See? Nobody likes pop quizzes!

I wanna live!

[to a disturbed Sabrina] Do you wanna put someone in a jar?

No! My aunts taught me it’s not nice to use magic to hurt other people!

[snootily] Well, my parents let me use magic any time I want, and I don’t even have to ask.

[under her breath] Brat...

[sharply] What was that?

Nothing!
