Dear Gillian, Today is our third anniversary and all I have to show for it are two beautiful little girls and a husband I just can’t stop kissing. I don’t even mind the beard. I wish you could see us. No more stones being thrown, no taunts cried out. Everything is just so blissfully normal. Life is perfect.

Dearest Gilly,
Sometimes I feel there is a hole inside of me, an emptyness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear you could probably hear the ocean. heh. The moon tonight, theres a circle around it, a sign on trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Im not going to sleep each night wanting, but sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I dont know; maybe ive had my happiness. I dont want to belive it, but there is no man, Gilly, only that moon…

did you ever just stick you arms out and spin and spin and spin? Well, thats what love is like.

Did you ever put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin?
Thats what love is like.

Did you ever stick your arms out & spin & spin & spin? Well, that’s what love is like.

Do you ever put your arms out and spin and spin and spin? Well thats what lovbe is like. Makes you heart race, turns your world upsidedown. But if your not careful, if you dont keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance. You cant see whats happening to the people around you…You cant see that your about to fall…

Do you forgive our mother?

Don’t be sad aunt Gillian, I won’t let you fall!

Don’t die on me Gilly once please, ’cause we’re suppose to die together remember, at the same time, you promised me that and this is not that day!

Don’t get used to this, it’s only temporary. There will be no chocolate cake for breakfast, homework will be done after dinner and as for you two, my children will never do magic – ever.

Don’t worry aunt Gilly, we wont let u fall

Fine but I do not want them dancing naked under the full moon…

ghilly:what are you doing? sally:making a spell called AOMASPADIAS……HE WILL HAVE ONE GREEN EYE AND ONE BLUE

Gillian if you’re going to work here, maybe you could, I dunno, work!

Gillian- How much did u give him? Sally- I don’t know Gillian, I wasn’t using a measuring cup, he was trying to kill you!

Gillian:Oh my god! How much did you give him Sal?
Sally:I DON’T KNOW GILLIAN!I WASN’T USING A MEASURING CUP!HE WAS TRYING TO KILL YOU!

Great, now all that’s missing is me being naked without my homework!

He can survive the curse…

He really loved my mint-oatmeal shaving cream. He couldn’t stop eating it!

He was not a foreigner! He was from North Dakota, you asshole!

He was not a foreigner! He was from North Dakota, you asshole!

he’ll have one green eye and one blue,and his favorite shape will be a star

How many times did you read my letter?

I bet we even die on the same day!

I can’t wait to fall in love

I can’t wait to fall in love!

I don’t care what he comes back as, as long as he comes back!

I don’t think he’s in there

I dream of a love even time will lie down and be still for.

I feel veeery into sisters right now!

I got the best news…Sally just came out!

I hope you get…chicken pox!

I love you too Gilly-bean…

I pray for a love that at times, will lay down and be still for. But there is no man Jillie…only that moon.

I was really really happy…

I wished for you too

I’m feeling very in to sisters

I’m sick of cleaning up after you.I’m sick of cleaning up your mess

In this house we have chocolate cake for breakfast. And we never bother with silly things like bedtimes or brushing our teeth.

Is this ok? It’s all I had…

It has power because you believe it does.

Its seems you spend all your time and energy trying to fit in, but you can’t just fit in. You’re different and that’s just how it’s going to be.

Jillian – Blood on the moon, BLOOD ON THE MOON!!

Just herbs…you know…from the garden…

Ladies, hang on to your husbands!

Magic has power because you believe it does. Just as a curse only has power when you believe in it.

Magic isn’t just spells and potions. Your badge. It’s just a star—just another symbol—your talisman. It can’t stop criminals in their tracks, can it? It has power because you believe it does.

Magic isn’t just spells and potions…

Magic only has power if you believe in it..and I don’t. You know what, I wished for you too.

Mom i’m worried about Antonia. She puts on her mouse ears and runs around town all liquored up….naked

My blood…your blood…our blood…

My darling girl, when are you going to understand that ‘normal’ isn’t a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.

No you don’t cast, and you probably couldn’t even if you tried!

No, no there’s no devil in the craft…

Now that was me!

Oh my god, of course you can lie to him!

Oh…can you bring a broom?

Okay, fine. But I don’t want them dancing naked under the full moon.

One green eye, one blue…

One stack of flap jacks and good bye Mr. Hallett.

Out of bed, sleepy-head!

Please, please just let him take me…

Rich…ya! Evil…no!

Gillian (V.O.) Dear Sal: I’m lying in the sun. I’m hanging by the pool. I’ve got a million friends. You might say that life is perfect. But I don’t care about any of it. In fact, I only have two words to say to you: Jimmy Angelov

Sally – And I do NOT want them dancing naked under the full moon!

Aunt Jai – Honey, that’s optional, as you well remember!!!

Sally – It was the curse wasn’t it? He died because of me! He died because I loved him so much.

[Kylie:] It’s okay, Mommy.

[Sally:] Gilly.

Sally- I hope I never fall in love, I hope I never fall in love, I hope I never fall in love. Gillian- I can’t wait to fall in love.

Sally- Where did that bottle come from?
Aunts- (singing) Someone left it on the porch, Someone left it on the proch.

Sally: What would you do Gilly?
Gilly: What wouldn’t I do… for the right guy?

Since when is it a crime to be a slut in this family?

Some people also use it as as poison…

And the moon tonight: there’s a circle around it – a sign of trouble not far behind.

Sally: Where did that bottle come from? WHERE DID THAT BOTTLE COME FROM???

We never tell them non-sense dear…

We’ve been driving for two weeks…two weeks straight…not even straight but in these zig zags, back and forth

You asked me how much times I read your letter…. I must’ve read it a million times. I think it was that more than anything that brought me here…it was you. And I’m all mixed up about that.

You have the worst taste in men!

You have very bad taste in men!

You know I’ve always wanted to see the…inside of your house.

You know what, I wished for you too…

You know, girls, I’m feeling very into sisters right now.

You owe me big time.

You think after three-hundred years they would come up with a better rhyme…

You’ll never forgive yourself, unless you get up, you get dressed, you brush your god damn teeth cos your breath stinks and you look after those little girls.

You…owe me…big time!

Your badge…it’s just a star…

[Aunt 1] It all began with your ansetor maria, she was a witch.The first in our family, but you my darlings are the most recent in a long and distingushed line. [young gillian] Is that why they wanted to hang her? because she was a witch [Aunt 1] Well the fact that our aunt maria was a bit of a heartbreaker, nor did it help that most of her lovers had wives on the hanging commitite, no i dont think it was any of those reasons, They feared her because she had a gift, a power that has been passed on to you, she had the gift of magic. And it was this very gift which saved her life……..She was banished to this very island with her unborn child growing inside her belly waiting for her lover to rescue her, but he never came…noone came. In a moment of despare she cast a spell upon herself that she will never again feel the agony of love. But as her bitterness grew, the spell turned in to a curse, a curse on any man who dared love an owens woman [young gillian] So is that why daddy died cause of the curse? [Aunt 1] yes my darling, your mother knew, she heard the beetle ticking for your fathers death all day long, she knew that when you hear the sound of the death bug beetle the man you love is doomed to die.[aunt 2]but thats how you came to live with us. we tucked you in to our lives then and raised you the best way how…but with the sweet comes the sour [aunt 1] so when you find yourself the centre of attention its not that they hate you, its well …were different.

[Aunt Frances :] All right, ladies, pick a broom from a circle.

[Woman A :] Holy shit!

[Woman B :] I’ve been strung out by a guy before, but this is ridiculous.

[Aunt Jet :] Would each of you pick up your brooms? Hold them at staff length, handle to brush. Remember that as we go forth. It is only with our hearts beating as one that we can save the life of this child.

(Aunt Frances starts spelling)

[Woman C :] Are we supposed to say this?

(Everyone spells to get rid of James’s spirit from Gillian)

[Sally:] Stop it! We’re killing her.

[Gillian(James):] Fight this, you bitch!

[Sally:] Oh, God! Oh, God! Gilly! Gilly, Honey!

[Gillian:] It’s okay. I love you.

[Sally:] Stay with me.

[Gillian:] Please, just let him take me.

[Sally:] No, you have to hold on. Gill, you have to stay with me. Gilly, No, stay with me. Gilly, No, stay with me.

[Gillian:] No, he wants me. Just me. Everyone will be safe. Just let him take me.

[Sally:] Don’t die on me, Gilly Owens, please. Because we’re supposed to die together, remember? The same time. You promised me that. And this is not that day.

[Gillian:] I love you, Sally.

[Sally:] Okay, wait. I’ve got it. Get them back in a circle.

[Sally:] Hey, Jimmy, I got a worm with your name on it. You thirsty? Is this is what you want? Well, this …you can’t have. My blood. Your blood. Our blood.

[Aunt Frances :] Maria’s blood. Now! Push her in.

[Sally:] I love you, Gillian.

[Woman A:] We did it.

[Aunt Frances :] Heads up. ladies. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

W[oman C :] I wonder if that would work on my ex-husband?

[Woman A :] Come on, ladies, let’s clean house!

[Sally:] Through the kitchen. Follow me.

[Woman A : ]Well done.

[Sally:] Sweep him to the roses.

[Aunt Frances]Good morning. Hello, boys. Oh Charlie! Looking good! God,what was I thinking?

[Aunt Jet:] Oh, Franny, let it go. Oh, my goodness, Gillian’s in Orlando! (to Sally) She’s in Orlando!

[Aunt Frances:] I guess that Roto-Rooter man’s history.

[Aunt Jet:] Well, according to that he is.

[Sally:] This is insane. She keeps going through all these guys.

[Aunt Frances:] Hopefully, someday she’ll find a guy who’ll go through her.

[Aunt Jet:] Hello. Hello, darling, how are you?

[Aunt Frances:] Oh, Jet, just give it up.

[Aunt Jet:] Never.

[Sally:] God, I miss her.

[Aunt Jet:] Oh, sweetie! Oh, dear.

[Aunt Frances:] Oh, Samson! Now, just knock it off.

[Sally:] All I want is a normal life.

[Aunt Frances:] My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.

[Sally:] Well, it’s what I want.

[Aunt Jet:] You see this couple here? He’s having an affair with the babysitter. And she can eat a poundcake in under a minute.

===EXT. GARDEN ===

[Aunt Jet:] What time is it?

[Aunt Frances:] Any moment now. (to Sally) Where are you going, dear?

[Aunt Jet:] Most excellent

[Aunt Jet]Gillian, Sally. You know the only curse in this family? She’s sitting right down there at the end of the table. Your Aunt Fanny.[aunt fanny]Oh come on, Jetty, even you have to admit that any man who gets involved with an Owens woman is bound to end up 6 feet under[auntjet]Spare me.[aunt fanny]What about my poor Ethan?[aunt jet]it was an accident [aunt fanny] it was fate [aunt jet] it was an accident [aunt fanny] no no no it was fate [aunt jet] accident [aunt fanny]it was fate [Young Sally] Mommy died of a broken heart, didn’t she? [Aunt Frances] Yes, my darling girl, she did.[Aunt Jet] Hey. My little witch. Let’s go inside and do some spells.[Young Sally] What about my homework?[Aunt Jet] Oh, pish! Tosh! You’re both going to learn things in this house that you’ll never learn in school. Let’s go. [Young Sally] Come on, Gilly![Young Gillian] I’m coming, Sally!

[Gillian:] Hey.
[Sally:] Hey. I was really, really happy. We were going to open up a botanical shop, where Mike would get all the ingredients and I would make the stuff. He really loved my mint-oatmeal shaving cream. He couldn’t stop eating it. I’m sure all this is really boring to you, but he really made me laugh.
[Sally:] Angelov? What kind of name is that?

[Gillian:] Bulgarian.

[Sally:] Bulgarian?

[Gillian:] Mmmhmm. Yeah, he’s from somewhere near Transylvania. He has this whole Dracula-cowboy thing about him. He’s just so intense. I mean, he talks about our rerationship in terms of centuries. Sometimes we just stay up all night worshipping eachother like bats. Thank God for Jet’s belladonna, or I’d never get any sleep.

[Sally:] Why are you taking that stuff?

[Gillian:] I’m not using it. I’m just giving it to him every now and then. That’s all.

[Sally:] So you’re drugging your boyfriend to get a little shut-eye? Doesn’t that seem a little strange to you?

[Gillian:] Maybe. But he’s strong. So much stronger than me. He can survive the curse.

[Sally:] Yeah.

[Gillian:] Do you forgive our mother?

[Sally:] Sometimes.

[Gillian:] Well, you’ll never forgive yourself unless you get up and you get dressed, and brush your goddamn teeth, because your breath stinks, and you take care of those little girls.

[Sally:] Yeah. You’re right.

[Gillian:] I love you.

[Sally:] I love you too, Gillybean.

[Gillian] Sally – get the door. Get the door![Sally] Wow.[Gillian] Sal, you have no idea.
[Sally]Do you really love him? I mean enough to marry him?[gillian]Oh, come on, Sal, what’s enough? I hate it here. I want to go where no one’s even heard of us.[Sally] I feel like I’m never going to see you again.[Gillian]Of course you’re going to see me again. We’re going to grow old together. It’s going to be you and me living in a big house. These 2 old biddies with all these cats. I mean, I bet we even die on the same day. [Sally] You swear?[Gillian] (to her boyfriend) Honey! I need your pocketknife. (to Sally) Here. My blood. Your blood.[Together] Our blood.[Sally] I love you Gillybean.[Gillian] Yeah, I love you to

[Michael:] Hey, boys, catch anything today?

[Boys:] Not much.

[Michael:] All right. See you in a bit. Hey, Jimmy, what’s going on?

[Sally:] No. That can’t be. No. No! I know you’re in there.

[A woman:] Michael, look out!

[A man:] Look out behind you! On your right!

(A truck hits Michael)

[Sally:] It was the curse, wasn’t it? He died because I loved him so much!

[Aunt Frances:] My poor little girl. We had no idea when we cast the spell.

[Sally:] What spell? What are you talking about? Oh, you didn’t. You didn’t. Please tell me that my own flesh and blood….

[Aunt Jet:] It was just a little push. You wanted so much to be happy.

[Aunt Frances:] We never expected that you would truly love him.

[Sally:] Well, I did. And I want him back. You brought him into my life. Now I want you to bring him back. Bring him back! I have never asked you for anything! I have never asked you for spells, but do this! I know you can bring him back.

[Aunt Jet:] No, dear. We won’t do that!

[Aunt Frances:] We don’t do that.

[Sally:] But you can. You can do this. I know you can. I remember. I found here when Mommy and Daddy died.

[Aunt Frances:] Even if we did bring him back, it wouldn’t be Michael. It would be something else. Something dark and unnatural.

[Sally:] I don’t care what he comes back as, as long as he comes back. Please do this for me. Please! Please! Please?
