Quotes
Racine: "Lord have mercy, look at the number of towels, Boyd."
Boyd: "It's like there's one towel for each person".
Boyd: "Well look at what the magic book can do, this place looks like the Taj Mahal with indoor plummin'".
Salem: "Sorry folks, Graceland is closed today".
Maw-Maw: "You know cats make real nice jerky".
Salem sobs in fear.
(After the hillbillies refuse to unseal the house)
Sabrina: "Now how am I going to get Harvey and Valerie out of his house?"
Hilda: "I say we fight pork rinds with garbage. Let's start by pelting them with rotten tomatoes".
Zelda: "No! No! No! No! These Spellmans will not stoop to their level, no matter how tempting that might be. We will not get anywhere by trying to get...(slides back the living room door to find her Lab-Top destroyed) even. This means war!"
(Zelda raises her finger)
(Great-Granny has just summoned Racine, Boyd, and Maw-Maw)
Great-Granny: "And make it snappy! I foolishly wore a girdle".
Great Grandma: "Oh Racine, I know you're unhappy but it was fair. Now Hilda and Zelda got the magic book and you got what you chose: all my money".
Sabrina: "They got all of great grandma’s money?"
Hilda: "Yep, and they bought a mansion and a Jet, and several butlers".
Zelda: "Don’t forget tiaras for Maw-Maw".
Hilda: "And then all the money was gone".
Racine: "We didn’t just spend it, we invested some of it".
Boyd: "Yeah, who knew chihuahua racing wouldn’t take off".
Hilda: "Ah everyone?"
Great-Granny: "The next person who interrupts me is going straight to the corner."
Zelda: "Yes, that's right, let Great-Grandmother talk."
Great-Granny: "Zelda! Corner!".
(Great-Granny points and Zelda floats over to the corner).
Salem (after Racine unseals the house): "Finally, I'm free! I have no place to go."
Zelda (from the corner): "May I please be excused?"
Great-Granny: "Not until you've thought about what I said. (To Hilda and Sabrina) I just wish I could remember what it was".
Zelda: "Grandma!"
Great-Granny (off-camera): "NOOOOOO!"
(Zelda is still floating in the corner as the episode ends).
