[GASPS]

Samantha!

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

I, um-- I didn't expect you home so early.

Well, that's pretty obvious.

Sam, is this the kind of thing

that goes on behind my back

all the time?

No. Now, Darrin.

I broke that vase, and-- And it's a present

from your Uncle Albert, so naturally, I thought--

I know what you thought.

You thought you'd just ring-a-ding-ding your nose

and put everything back together again.

Sam, you're getting to be more witch than wife.

Well, you knew I was a witch when you married me.

No, I didn't. You didn't tell me

until our wedding night, if you remember.

Darrin.

What?

I wonder about that sometimes.

If I had told you I was a witch...

would you have still married me?

Well, yeah, sure. Yeah, of course.

Oh, thank you.

That's very broad-minded of you.

Oh, come on, Sam.

I said I would, didn't I?

Not very convincingly.

Well, how can anyone be sure of a thing like that?

I am reasonably certain.

I mean, I'm-- I'm practically positive.

Yes, I would.

Okay?

Okay.

Well, I'm, uh, going to go upstairs

and say hello to the baby.

You do that.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

ENDORA: Well...that was sweet and tender.

Oh, hi, Mother.

There is a way to find out

whether he would've married you or not.

You would like to know whether he would've proposed to you

if you told him you were a witch.

Well, I can put you back in the past so you can find out.

Oh, no, no, Mother. Darrin's angry enough.

I wouldn't want to upset him anymore.

He won't be.

He'll go back in time, and when he returns,

he'll never remember a thing.

Now, Mother. This is between Darrin and me.

So will you please change the subject?

Why, of course, dear.

You know the weather is very lovely

on the Riviera this season.

You owe yourself a trip, Samantha.

Mother... you don't believe

Darrin would've proposed to me, right?

Oh, and there's such

an interesting group of people there.

There's a young, divine Italian director.

And there's that crazy French novelist--

Mother.

No, I don't think

whatchamacallit would've married you.

Well, you're wrong.

There always will be a doubt, won't there?

I suppose so.

And when you look across the breakfast table at him,

you'll wonder what would have happened if--

Oh, let me send you back, Samantha.

Well, all right, Mother.

You win.

Good.

Now, sometime in the past,

you're going to tell him you're a witch.

When do you think that would've been?

Well, there was the time I went to cook dinner

in his apartment.

I almost told him then, before he proposed.

Well that sounds very, very good.

Now, Mother. No nonsense.

No, no, no.

When you go back to the past,

it'll be exactly as it would have been.

Now, then, come here.

Ah.

Thunder, lightning, rain, hail

Rummer, dummer, lummer, bane

Backward, turn backward Oh, time, in thy flight

Let her find out What would happen that night

[WHISTLES]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Yes?

Mr. Stephens?

Oh, yes, I am.

How about that?

I'm your friendly cosmetic lady,

and we're introducing a new kind

of kiss-proof lipstick.

I'd like to leave you a sample.

Oh, well.

It's a marvelous product.

I'll take all you have.

You look beautiful.

You're just saying that because you're handsome.

Well, here we are.

Yes, I guess I am.

Here you go.

Oh, thank you.

[SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

To you.

Ooh!

Oh, ah, oh, I'm sorry.

I-- I meant for this evening to be special,

but I didn't mean for it to be that special.

Darrin... this is sort of

a special evening for me too.

You see, there's something I have to tell you.

Bet I can guess what it is.

You couldn't possibly.

You forgot to bring the things

for the dinner you're going to cook me.

Right?

No. No, you'll have your dinner.

I can...whip up a dinner out of nothing.

Well that's just what we've got

in my refrigerator, nothing.

No, it's something about me

I really think you should know.

I know all I need to know about you.

I-I don't think so.

It's about my family.

We're, um, different.

Samantha, I'm not interested in your family.

I'm interested in you.

I wouldn't care if they were shoplifters, moonshiners

or cattle-rustlers.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY] If it were only that simple.

Darrin, I think you'd better sit down.

Okay.

You love me, don't you?

I've been doing my best to give you that impression.

Well, here goes.

Darrin...I'm a witch.

Well, nobody's perfect.

No. I-I'm serious.

I...am...a witch.

Well, um, what makes you say that?

No, I mean I am.

I'm a house-haunting, cauldron-stirring,

broom-riding witch.

Sam, I'll tell you what we're going to do.

I'm going to take you out to a nice quiet restaurant.

We're going to have dinner.

And after the dinner, I'm going to take you to a very funny movie.

How would you like that?

Darrin, I told you we could have dinner here.

And I think it might be a better idea

if we had dinner at a restaurant.

Well...if you don't believe me,

I...guess I'll just have to prove it.

Oh.

Careful, hot plate.

Ah! That is hot!

Um, well, i-if-- If you don't like roast beef,

uh, maybe you'd like a turkey dinner.

You're a witch!

Yes, Darrin.

I mean, you really are a witch.

Were you born that way?

Mm-hmm.

Um, Mother's a witch, Father's a warlock.

I see.

Now that you know, does it make any difference?

Uh, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no, of course not.

Why should it?

I mean, what's the difference?

Well, who cares about a little thing like that?

Oh, Darrin.

Don't touch me!

Oh, how chicken!

Well... now you know.

Oh, boy!

Do I know!

Oh, boy!

Well, it's nice to be sure.

It clears up all your doubts.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Walking out on me!

From his own apartment.

Coward!

What?

Oh, Darrin!

What is this all about?

Whatever it is, you're responsible.

Oh, tish-tosh.

He doesn't remember.

Now, do you remember the night

I came to your apartment to cook dinner?

Of course I remember.

Well, this time I told you I was a witch,

and you behaved very badly.

I did?

You ran out on me.

I--

Well, that's understandable.

[GASPS] Oh, yes, very understandable.

You see what I mean?

Well, I came back, didn't I?

Didn't I?

Well...I don't know.

We didn't go that far.

You didn't go that-- That's not fair!

You didn't give me a chance!

It wasn't necessary.

Your attitude was obvious.

Narrow-minded, intolerant,

middle-class, superstitious.

All right, Mother.

Now, that will do. Darrin's right.

We didn't give him a chance.

Oh, my poor baby.

Where did I go wrong? Where did I fail you?

Now, cut that out.

Sam, I love you.

And if this cuckoo experiment is upsetting you,

I demand the right to go back and prove myself.

That's only fair. Mother...

send us back.

You sure?

I'm sure!

Oh... all right!

Thunder, lightning...hail, rain

Rummer, dummer, lummer, bane

Backward, turn backward Oh, time, in thy flight

Both of them go back

And you'll see That I'm right

You're a red-blooded American boy,

and you're in love with a witch.

She's a beautiful witch, and you're in love with her.

Darrin...here are my layouts

for the salad oil campaign.

Just pour them on the desk, Larry.

Please, Darrin, no jokes about the accounts.

Sorry, Larry.

Hey, wasn't your girlfriend

gonna cook dinner last night?

How'd it go?

Please, no jokes about my love life.

I'm sorry, Darrin.

But she's beautiful.

What do you care if she can cook or not?

Oh, she can cook. She can do anything.

Then what's the problem?

Larry, I had the shock of my life last night.

I've got to tell somebody.

Yeah? Yeah?

Samantha is--

No, you'd never believe me.

Of course I'll believe you. Go on.

You'd never believe me, Larry.

I tell you, Darrin, I'll believe you.

Tell me. You'd never believe me!

Try me!

She's a witch!

[LAUGHS]

Darrin, take it from an old married man.

All women are witches.

If you really love her and she loves you,

what's the difference?

But she's a "witch" witch.

W-I-T-C-H!

Oh, come off it, Darrin.

If you want a vacation, just ask for it!

She's a witch!

Listen, if you keep on with this fruitcake routine,

you'll have a permanent vacation!

If she were here, she'd tell you she's a witch!

SAMANTHA: Is that what you really want?

It certainly is!

What is the matter with you?

Uh...

Samantha, um, I'd like you

to meet my boss, Larry Tate.

Charmed.

I--

Uh, I mean, I'm, uh--

I'm, uh, enchanted.

How about bewitched, Mr. Tate?

I, uh...

Well, I didn't mean to, uh...

No offense.

None taken.

Samantha, thank you for popping in.

Oh, don't mention it.

And now I'll just, um, disappear.

The way you did last night.

Tell me.

If an advertiser were trying to decide

between McMann & Tate and another agency,

could she, uh... make him choose...us?

Certainly.

And, uh...if we drew up a campaign for it...

could she influence him so--

He'd be crazy about it.

LARRY: Marvelous. Marvelous!

Well, now that I'm no longer needed...

[SNAPS]

The girl is just what we need.

The trouble is, I love her.

The possibilities! The possibilities!

Despite the possibilities, gotta have that girl.

I want that girl on our team.

I'd love to team up with that girl.

I'll work out the details and talk to you later.

But don't worry. You won't regret it.

I know. She's a wonderful girl.

Oh, fine, fine, fine, fine.

[SIGHS]

You're a red-blooded American boy,

and you're in love with a witch.

Hello, Samantha. It's Darrin.

Don't hang up!

Honey, I've been miserable without you.

I-- I miss you. I-I wanna see you.

I wanna talk to you.

[LINE CLICKS]

Samantha? Samantha?

Oh, honey, I love you.

And I love you.

I'm sorry I reacted the way I did.

Oh, no, now, sweetheart,

it was my fault.

I just didn't find the right way

of telling you about me.

Maybe I shouldn't have.

No, no. You were right.

I had to find out sooner or later.

Well, you see, not many of our people

have fallen in love with human beings before,

and, well, I just didn't have a precedent to go on.

Come with me.

Samantha.

Yes, Darrin?

You're the most important thing that ever happened to me.

I'm glad.

I look into the future,

I can't even imagine it without you.

I feel the same way.

Well, I know I don't make a great deal of money,

but I-- I'm sure I'll be making a lot more soon, and, um...

Darrin...is this a proposal?

It's supposed to be, but, uh...will you help me?

I've never done this before.

Well, I have an idea.

What?

Why don't you just say, “Will you marry me”?

That's it.

Samantha.

Yes, Darrin.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

There's someone at the door.

Go ahead.

Okay.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Good evening, Darrin.

Oh, uh, Larry.

Ha, ha, ha. Hello, Samantha.

I'm glad you're here.

Uh, Larry. Not right now.

Bear with me for a moment, Darrin.

I've got something wonderful worked out

for you two lovebirds.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Tate--

You know, I think this is gonna be a marvelous marriage.

Were gonna get along beautifully.

We?

I've been giving this a lot of thought.

You know, we can't miss.

Samantha, the way you can influence a client

will make us the biggest agency

in the world.

Now, just a minute.

Ah, I know what you're thinking.

And don't worry.

I'm going to make Darrin a vice president

with a big increase in salary.

I see.

That's why you told me

you were gonna be making more money.

No, Samantha.

I-I don't know anything about this.

Well, of course you do.

We discussed it in your office.

When?!

After Samantha left.

We shook hands on it.

Well, I hope you two will be very happy together.

Wait a minute!

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy!

Did you have a nice trip, darling?

He would have used me.

You would have had me putting spells on clients.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You and that Larry Tate were ready to cash in

on my witchcraft.

Does Larry know?

Don't worry.

He won't remember any more than you do.

Whew! Good.

Oh, Darrin, how could you?

How could I what?

Well, I trusted you.

I was ready to give up everything for you.

Oh, Mother warned me about human men,

but I thought you were different.

I am. I mean, I was.

I mean, I would have been.

You! You are responsible for all this!

Everything was fine until you came swooping in here

and stirred up the cauldron.

Well, this is my house, you're not welcome,

and I want you out of here on the next broom!

Just a minute.

That is my mother,

and you cannot talk to her that way.

Well, it may be your mother, but it's my mother-in-law.

And that makes her a horse of a different color.

Did I hear you correctly?

Did you call my mother a horse?

She's all mother-in-law and a yard wide.

A yard wide?

How dare you!

Make that two yards.

Darrin, I never realized how cruel and thoughtless

and rude you could be.

I'm still pitching with a cold arm.

Wait till I get warmed up.

You can just be thankful I didn't meet her

before I proposed to you.

Oh, what a terrible thing to say.

What a terrible thing to say!

Well, now you know, darling.

He's showing his true colors!

Oh, boy, do I know! Oh, boy!

Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

You witches think you're so different.

Well you're acting just like any ordinary

run-of-the-mill, human mother and daughter.

Oh, come on, Samantha!

Take the baby and come home to Mother.

There's no reason

to put up with this any longer.

Hold it, hold it.

Hold it!

Samantha and the baby are not leaving this house

except over my unconscious body.

Well, what could be fairer than that?

Oh!

It's all for the best.

Well, he is my husband.

Well, let's not quibble about technicalities.

Technicalities?

He's the father of your grandchild.

But you've already seen

that he never would have married you.

You've been pulling that hanky-panky behind my back.

Now, Samantha, you know that I love you.

I always have loved you!

If you take me back, I'll prove it to you.

You're not afraid?

Not a bit!

Mother.

What?

Send us back! Send us back.

Oh, hemlock.

Thunder, lightning...hail, rain

Rummer, dummer, lummer, bane

Backward, turn backward Oh, time, in thy flight

Again send them back And out of my sight

Now, wait a minute!

Yes?

I didn't have anything to do with this idea.

No. I take the full credit for it.

But think what this would mean, Samantha.

With the judicious use of your powers,

you two could be the wealthiest

young couple in the country.

In the meantime, you wouldn't be

exactly poverty-stricken yourself, would you?

I think I would be entitled

to a modest amount of fallout,

shall we say?

For having had the inspiration. Mm.

Well...that's it.

I've given you the bare bones of the idea.

Of course, we'll have to flesh it out a little.

Larry, take your bones and get out of here!

Huh? Out!

What's the matter with you?

You sore because I want a piece of the action?

There isn't gonna be any action.

Of all the greedy, underhanded schemes

I ever heard of, that is the worst!

I'm not gonna let you or anybody else

take advantage of Samantha!

I don't like your attitude, Stephens!

Remember who signs your paychecks!

Not anymore you don't, buddy boy!

Find yourself another boy!

Now, you get out of here before I throw you out!

How about that?!

Oh, Darrin, you were wonderful.

Any success I make in the business world,

I'm gonna make on my own.

And I want you to promise here and now

that you won't ever use that...power of yours

to help me in any way.

I'll do my best.

Now, uh, where were we?

Ah, yes.

Sit down.

I was just telling you how promising

my financial future was, and--

Oh, boy.

We'll skip that part.

Now, what was the next thing you were going to say

before we were interrupted?

We are not going to be interrupted again.

I'm not going to let anybody through that door.

Mother!

How dare you come crashing in here!

He was just about to propose.

Forgive me, darling.

I thought he'd like to meet your mother first.

It's the acid test, you know.

Oh, you're--

Sam--

Uh, Darrin. Darrin.

Dear, um...I'd like you to meet my mother.

Mother?

SAMANTHA: Uh, yes.

This is my mother.

Uh, how do you do?

Any mother of Samantha's is a mother of m-- Oh!

So human.

Oh! That's out of the question.

Come on, Samantha.

I'm going to take you right home.

Uh, may I say something?

Must you?

I know this must come as a great shock to you.

It must be just as difficult

for you to adjust to as it was for me.

Not difficult at all.

Good. Impossible.

Are you coming, Samantha?

Mother... I love him.

Why...he isn't even good-looking.

I think he's adorable.

Well, that settles that.

He'll be back.

Don't you help him.

I won't have to.

I don't care what you do to me,

you can't keep me away from Samantha.

No?

Now, Mother, you stop that.

Oh, Samantha, you're just a silly little child.

Now, I'm not gonna stand by

and see you make a fool of yourself.

Okay, Mom, knock it off!

Mom?!

Oh, how disgusting!

Well, you're just going to have to get used to it.

Daughter or not, you can't talk that way

to the girl I'm going to marry.

Darrin, is that a proposal?

I've had enough interruptions!

Will you marry me, yes or no?!

Those are the sweetest words I ever heard.

Will you answer me!

Oh, yes.

I guess I made it, huh?

You sure did.

Isn't that sickening?

Not to us, it isn't.

You both acted just like children.

Don't you think it's just a little bit childish

not to admit when you're wrong?

Don't be a bad sport, Mom.

Well, I am.

Mother... put that chair back!

Tsk.
