Last week, I broadcasted ten of the best quotes from "Halloweentown."
I also watched Disney's "Twitches," another Halloween movie. Here are the top eleven quotes from this movie, several of which are exchanges between two characters
1. Karsh: "Our fate is in their hands now."
Ileana: "Well, actually, it's in our hands."
Karsh: "What?"
Ileana: "Well, if they’re our fate, and they’re in our hands, well then, technically…"
Karsh: "Would you just go? The darkness won’t rest until it finds them."
From the very beginning, this movie intersperses comedy into some darker moments. Here, it seems as if life and death hang in the balance, but the tension is eased through humor.
2. Ileana: "I wonder if we should have told them they're marked for death."
Karsh: "Why would we tell them that?"
Ileana: "I don’t know."
I love these two! They balance each other well, with rationality and seriousness.
3. Alex: "ln my fantasy, I was always the one to rescue her."
Cam: "Where was I?"
Alex: "Shopping."
Cam: "Fair enough."
Who doesn't have a friendship like this? I know I would be Alex, and some of my friends would be Cam, content shopping. Although, if I were shopping in a bookstore, I would definitely be Cam.
4. "So, I know I told you to do something special for your birthday, but I didn't think you'd go out and get yourself a twin."
Lucinda and I speak on the same level of sarcasm.
5. "I'm not a monkey. It’s a gorilla, clearly. You can tell by the color of the fur."
Karsh is the realist who tends to have a drier humor. Even though he is annoyed he got hit with a backlash from one of Alex and Cam's spells, he makes sure Ileana knows the difference between a gorilla and a monkey.
6. "You mean when I was a baby? I was one day old. All I did was scream, wet myself, and think ‘what the heck is going on?’. Other than acquiring some decent bladder control, things haven't changed all that much."
Cam speaks for a lot of people when she makes this astute observation, especially for college students who often have trouble keeping track of all they have to do.
7. Emily: "And just what was all that?"
David: "I have no idea. I don’t know if I’ve just been played or if that’s just one of those moments that makes parenting all worthwhile."
Emily: "Oh, honey."
David: "Mm?"
Emily: "You just been played."
Oh, the joys of being a daughter. Or of having a daughter, for parents.
8. Alex: "Do you have any other flavor besides sarcastic?"
Lucinda: "No."
This pretty much sums up my life.
9. "I really think we should go to that party. It'll be fun. We can mock people mercilessly. Come on, you know you love doing that."
We all have those fun, sometimes weird, activities we do with our friends.
10. "If there’s anything that I know, it’s that love is infinite. You can always make more when you need it. And just because you wanna give some to somebody else, doesn't mean that you'll take any away from me."
These last two quotes are much more serious. Emily reminds us that we can always make more love. Love is infinite. It knows no boundaries.
11. Alex: "The opposite of darkness isn't light."
Alex and Cam: "It's love!"
Ah, yes, that moment when the characters realize the true meaning of some important detail. While some people might cringe and shake their head at love being the opposite of darkness, the point of this realization is that love is strong. If one just remembers love, then he or she remembers that no one is ever truly alone.
