Quotes47

  • Sally Owens: I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.
  • Sally Owens: [Sally's letter to Gillian] Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still 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 don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon.
  • Sally Owens: And I don't want them dancing naked under the full moon!
  • Aunt Jet Owens: No, of course. The nudity is entirely optional. As you well remember!
  • Sally Owens: Can love really travel back in time and heal a broken heart? Was it our joined hands that finally lifted Maria's curse? I'd like to think so. But there are some things I know for certain: always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can.
  • Sally Owens: All I want is a normal life.
  • Aunt Frances Owens: My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!
  • Sally Owens: Well, it's what I want.
  • Sally Owens: Since when is being a slut a crime in this family?
  • Gary Hallet: Did you or your sister kill James Angelov?
  • Sally Owens: Yeah, a couple of times.
  • [after they make a binder ring snap on a mother's finger]
  • Sally Owens: [to Gillian] Don't do that.
  • Gillian Owens: It wasn't me, it was you!
  • [Both giggling]
  • Sara: Oh I am so please to report this, and the top of the phone tree list is... wait a minute, it's Sally Owens.
  • [confused; flips through phone tree and finds Sally's name at the top of each list]
  • Gillian Owens: Wooo! Go, Sal!
  • [aside to Sally]
  • Gillian Owens: Now that was me!
  • Sally Owens: [cuts her hand] My Blood.
  • [cuts Gillian's hand]
  • Sally Owens: Your Blood.
  • [smacks their hands together]
  • Sally Owens: *Our* Blood.
  • Sally Owens: 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. But I wish you could see us. No more stones being thrown, no taunts cried out. Everything is just so blissfully normal. Life is perfect.
  • Gary Hallet: You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells?
  • Sally Owens: Yeah. It's not real. And if you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell and... you wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison.
  • Gary Hallet: Yeah, well... you know, all relationships have problems.
  • [all drunk]
  • Gillian Owens: You southern shrew!
  • Aunt Jet Owens: Ingrate!
  • Aunt Frances Owens: Goodie two shoes!
  • Sally Owens: WITCH!
  • Gary Hallet: What was that, Sally? That was him, wasn't it? Is he gone or what?
  • Sally Owens: Yes, you killed his spirit, but I know I took his life. I'll tell you all need to know. I'll tell you how I did it, where I buried him, what I did it with. I'll tell you how...
  • Gary Hallet: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on just a goddamn second, all right? One step at a time. I took on oath to uphold the law. I came here to bring in the bad guy because generally that's what I do. You asked me how many times I read your letter. I must've read it about a thousand times. I know now, it was your letter anything else that brought me here. It was you. And I'm all mixed-up about that.
  • Sally Owens: We were going to open a botanical shop. Where Mike would get all the ingredients and I'd make the stuff. He really loved my mint-oatmeal shaving cream. He couldn't stop eating it.
  • Sally Owens, Gillian Owens: [Reciting a spell to resurrect Jimmy] Black as night, erase death from our sight. White as light, Mighty Hectate make it right.
  • Gary Hallet: So what kind of, uh... craft do you do?
  • Sally Owens: I manufacture bath oils and soaps... hand lotions... shampoo. And the Aunts, um... they like to meddle in people's love lives.
  • Sally Owens: Louis L'amour, who, by the way, was not a foreigner! He was from North Dakota, you asshole!
  • Sally Owens: I feel like I'm never going to see you again.
  • Gillian Owens: Of course you're going to see me again! We'll grow old together. It's going to be you and me living in a big house... these two old biddies with all these cats. I bet we even die on the same day.
  • Gillian Owens: [possessed by Jimmy Angelov's spirit; crying] He wants me... just me. Everyone will be all right. Let him take me...
  • Sally Owens: Don't die on me, Gillian Owens, please. 'Cause - we're supposed to die together, remember? The same time. You promised me that. And this is not that day.
  • Sally Owens: [Looks at Gary's eyes in the middle of kissing him] One green eye, one blue... no, I can't. I have to go.
  • [Leaves in haste]
  • Gary Hallet: [Confused] I was born with them!
