TEASER

Stephens’ Dining Room:

• Script: Darrin, Samantha and the visiting Adam Newlarkin are having dinner. Everything is going well until Adam’s clip-on bow tie falls into his soup.
  SAMANTHA: Don’t worry about it. Here . . .let me take it. [Samantha takes the tie and spoon and turns away as Darrin pours wine] Darrin’s been telling me that you’re something of a mathematical genius, Adam . . .
  ADAM: [modestly] Oh, it’s just a knack.
  DARRIN: Knack?! What’s 47,621 multiplied by 1,296?
  ADAM: [almost without a pause] 61,716,816.

Stephens’ Kitchen:

ACT I

Stephens’ Kitchen:

• Script: [There is a banging noise from one of the closets. Samantha moves to closest, opens door. Another camera angle shows the interior of the closet {the script calls for the use of an EXISTING SHOT}. Aunt Clara, her hat askew, is in the closet. She clasps a large book]
  CLARA: I’ve heard of flying by the seat of your pants . . .but this is getting ridiculous!
• Episode: Samantha hears a banging noise. She first looks out the kitchen door, then looks in the broom closet. Clara’s line is changed to, “I’ve heard of coming in on a wing and a prayer . . .but this is ridiculous."
  
  
• Script: [the scene continues]
  SAMANTHA: [helping her out] I thought you gave up flying, Aunt Clara.
  CLARA: Just short hops in good weather. [shaking head] I know the old broomsticks were uncomfortable, but at least they got you where you were going. [looks around kitchen] Where is the young man you’re so worried about?
• Episode: These lines are cut up to the point where Clara looks around.
  
  
• Script: Samantha has lines that end with, “He sentenced a witch named Zorelda to some horrible things, including being dunked three times in the local pond."
  CLARA: Oh, well - -that explains it. Zorelda could turn very nasty when provoked.
  SAMANTHA: You knew her?
  CLARA: And Clarence. I remember he had mangy hair and yellow teeth.
  SAMANTHA: Clarence was her husband?
  CLARA: No, dear . . .her dog! She had this spotted dog that went everywhere with her.
  SAMANTHA: I don’t understand. The spell was intended for the original Adam Newlarkin. I thought spells were non-transferable.
  CLARA: Zorelda must have put a namesake clause in it.
  SAMANTHA: You mean the spell is transferred to anyone of the same name?
  CLARA: Common practice in those days . . .
  SAMANTHA: But the spell was cast over two hundred years ago. Wouldn’t it have faded by now?
  CLARA: Oh, no, dear! In those days the girls really knew what they were doing . . .
• Episode: After Samantha’s line, “He sentenced a witch named Zorelda . . .”, the rest of the scene is cut.

Restaurant:

• Script: [Adam and Mr. Peterson are having an after lunch coffee]
  PETERSON: Well, we need a good accountant, and you come highly recommended by Mr. Wilkinson. I articled with him you know. Of course he must be getting on in years now. Let’s see . . .he was born in 1905, so that would make him . . .
  ADAM: [quickly] Seventy-three [Peterson stares at him. Adam frowns, takes another stab] Uh . . .fifty-one.
  PETERSON: Five from sixty-five is sixty.
  ADAM: Are you sure? [finds himself counting on his fingers as Peterson stares at him in disbelief] I make it fifty-four.
  PETERSON: [firmly] Sixty. [Adam shakes his head as if to clear it while Peterson picks up the check and looks at it. Peterson signs the check] There we are. Oh, the tip. Fifteen percent of ten dollars is . . .
  ADAM: [anxious to redeem himself] Four dollars! [Peterson slowly turns to look at him. Adam is flustered] Three seventy-five? [Peterson shakes his head] Uh . . .it’s around in there somewhere, isn’t it? [Peterson shakes his head grimly]
• Episode: The entire above scene is cut.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: Darrin and Samantha are discussing the spell on Adam. The discussion continues after Samantha’s line, “It’s thicker than ink!”
  DARRIN: [picking up the book] Here . . .let me see that.
  SAMANTHA: [warningly] Darrin . . .
  DARRIN: [he has opened the book to find the pages are blank] The . . .the pages are blank.
  SAMANTHA: Of course they are. You’re not a warlock.
  DARRIN: You mean the book chooses who reads it?
  SAMANTHA: [taking book] Darling, it wasn’t meant for public consumption. What it boils down to is that before five p.m. tomorrow afternoon, Adam will steal a large sum of money and be branded a common thief.
• Episode: Between the lines, “It’s thicker than ink”, and, “Darling, it wasn’t meant . . .”, the lines are cut.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: Aunt Clara lands in the fireplace. The script calls for a STOCK shot of her landing. She has gotten mixed in a sky divers competition, and won first place.

The book floats in, settles on the sofa by Samantha, who tries to open it, but can’t. Clara comments that you have to be firm with the books, and Bertha probably had put a spell on it. Clara tries some incantations, and the book finely opens. Samantha asks what the antidote is.
• Episode: Clara arrives down the chimney carrying the book. Samantha asks if she got the book and then asks what the antidote is. The lines in between are cut.

Stephens’ Patio:

• Script: The script calls for music from a CELESTE to be heard after each step of the spell is completed.
• Episode: After Adam kisses the dog; the sounds of a CELESTE are heard. NOTE: A CELESTE [actually CELESTA] is a small piano type instrument with a four-octave range. Hammers striking steel plates, rather than wires as in a piano make sounds. This, combined with a built in echo chamber gives the CELESTA a most unique sound.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: This scene is after Adam has been dunked twice and Darrin has called Samantha. SAMANTHA: [looking at watch] I wish I could get down there, but they’ll be leaving in ten minutes . . .I’d never make it.
  CLARA: [puzzled] I don’t understand, dear . . .you could be there in two seconds if you wanted.
  SAMANTHA: No, my doctor doesn’t want me to fly.
  CLARA: Could I lend a helping hand?
• Episode: The above lines are changed: Samantha: I wish I could be down there and help Darrin, but Adam knows me. . .
  CLARA: I don’t understand, dear . . .
  SAMANTHA: Well after being pushed in the pool twice by Darrin, I don’t think he’s likely to go near the water with me.
  CLARA: Could I lend a helping hand?

Bank – Accounting Office:

• Script: Calls for a shot of the accounting section, a counter with three desks behind the counter. Also, a door with a sign J. D. Abercrombie – Manager can be seen.

The conversation continues with Harding speaking of his departure that afternoon to Rio. Samantha enters and calls to Adam. She tells him he should go home and go to bed. Adam refuses. Samantha moves to Mr. Abercrombie’s office door and is about to knock as Mr. Abercrombie comes out. After greetings, they both enter his office [the scene shifts to five minutes later at Adam’s desk with Abercrombie ordering Adam to go home].
• Episode: The accounting office has two desks with the bank vault on the right. The scene opens with Harding coming out of the vault. Adam is seated at his desk. They discuss Adam’s cold before moving to Harding’s desk where they discuss the procedure. The scene shifts to five minutes later. Samantha and Mr. Abercrombie are standing at Adam’s desk where Abercrombie orders Adam to go home.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: Present are Samantha, Aunt Clara, Darrin, Mr. Abercrombie and a detective. Samantha says Adam will be back shortly. The Detective asks about Adam’s briefcase and starts to open it, but has trouble. Aunt Clara makes a sign. The detective gets the briefcase open and sees the briefcase is empty. The detective says that no money in the briefcase doesn’t clear Adam. Another camera angle shows the detective’s back plastered with thousands of bills. Samantha sees the bills, twitches and the bills disappear. Another camera angle shows the bills plop into the briefcase.
• Episode: The detective never gets to look into the briefcase, so the bit about the bills plastered to his back is cut, along with some of the related lines.

When Abner gets to the window, the only thing to be seen at the curb is a pumpkin.
  MAURICE: [to Samantha] That’s shocking! You can’t put off so serious a matter as that sort of training. The earlier the better!
• Revised Script:

Club Lounge:

• Script: The scene is the Warlock Club in London. There are no doors and windows and the drink servers are called “Kitty Girls”. They and the warlocks are seen passing through the walls. Maurice, in white tie and tails, has the baby on a green felt poker table. He tries to demonstrate the baby’s powers by transporting an ale bottle. Maurice starts it, but when he expects the baby to take over, the bottle falls to the table and breaks. Maurice POPS the bottle out. The warlocks insist that the baby has no powers, but Maurice will not accept that. He asks where Nanny Witch is.
• Episode: Only one “Kitty Girl” and no warlocks pass through the walls. Maurice does not wear a white tie and tails, but the same costume from earlier. The baby is in a baby seat on a plain table.

Airport Loading Area:

• Script: Darrin and Larry are putting suitcases in the trunk of Darrin’s car. Darrin flips the latches on the last suitcase and it falls open. Larry starts to put things back in. Darrin stands by. Larry asks for help, and Darrin picks up a vase and examines it. Larry finally takes the vase. Darrin slams the trunk shut. Darrin fumbles with the key, and Larry takes over and gets the trunk open. Darrin flips the suitcase locks again and everything falls out. Larry refuses help, tells Darrin to get in the car. Darrin shuts the trunk as he goes by.
• Revised Script: Scene begins as in the script. Darrin starts to help Larry put things in, but takes out as mush as he puts in. He finally picks up a shirt and stares at it [instead of a vase]. The second flipping of the suitcase latches and closing the trunk is cut.

  MAURICE: He’s got to be a warlock. I insist upon it!
  NANNY WITCH: I’ll test him, but I can’t work with you under my feet. - - You wait here, [She takes the baby and exits. Maurice starts to pace anxiously.]
• Revised Script: [Nanny witch, an imposing figure of a woman is sitting in a corner. She booms rather than speaks. Maurice has the baby in his arms]
  MAURICE: Nanny Witch, you took care of Samantha for us, remember?
  NANNY WITCH: I remember all my babies. Loved all fourteen thousand and twenty two of them.
  MAURICE: Nanny, this is very important, so . . .
  NANNY WITCH: Samantha - - -Oh, yes! She certainly had a nose for witchcraft. Loved her . . . loved them all!
  MAURICE: I’m glad you remember - - -
  NANNY WITCH: Of course I remember her - -but who are you?
  MAURICE: [shocked] I’m her father!
  NANNY WITCH: Can’t place your face. Never remember the parents . . .Only the babies. Loved ‘em all! [looks at baby] Who’s this?
  MAURICE: My grandson! I hate to tell you this . . .but he’s Samantha’s child, and - -and the product of a mixed marriage.

  MAURICE: [anxiously] Well - - -well - - -well?
  NANNY WITCH: [shaking head] It’s too bad, Maurice - - but your grandson is mortal like his father.
  MAURICE: [stricken] Are you sure?
  NANNY WITCH: Not even a response with the Mirror of Cagliostro.
  MAURICE: How can I face my friends? [to baby] Oh, shut up! I’m the one who has the cause to weep. What am I going to do with him?
  NANNY WITCH: Simple. Feed him! [she produces a bottle]
• Episode: A shortened version of this scene is inserted as a cut into the airport scene.

Street and Gas Station:

• Script: Darrin says he hears a noise and pulls into a gas station, gets out and opens hood.
  SAMANTHA: [In dirty coveralls, with oil smudges on her face, is looking at him - - -under hood on the other side of the car] Hi, honey!. [Darrin, startled, raises up and bangs his head on car hood] I wanted to give you a progress report - - -
  Darrin: [whispering] Did you find the baby????
  SAMANTHA: Not yet. Mother and I are running out if places to look.
  DARRIN: How about London? Louise said she saw a man with her baby on Bond Street.
  SAMANTHA: Bond Street? - -London???? Of course! The Warlock Club! Keep stalling the Tate’s a little longer.
• Revised Script: [Darrin stops the car in the street, gets out and raises the hood. Samantha POPS in under the hood, so that she’s sitting on the engine. SCRIPT NOTE: If this is not possible, she can sit on the radiator, as long as she is screened by open hood.] The lines are the same as the Script, except Wesley Street is used in place of Bond Street.

There are considerable differences between the original and the revised scripts, especially in the early parts of the scripts. As the story progresses, the two scripts come closer together. Where there are major differences, the content of both the “original” and the “revised” scripts will be given.

TEASER

Stephens’ Kitchen:

• Original Script: The day before Halloween, Darrin and Samantha discuss the very different meanings Halloween has to each of them. Darrin happily fills candy bags to give away to “trick or treaters” as he tells Samantha about the fun he had as a child on Halloween. For Samantha, Halloween is a very solemn occasion, bringing back memories of how witches are made fun of and demeaned on that day. Also, Endora is upset because Samantha and Darrin are having a dinner party on Halloween, and refuses to accept that it is not a witch bashing. Endora insists that Samantha go with her to the Sacred Volcano.

Stephens’ Bedroom:

• Revised Script: Samantha and Darrin are asleep. Endora POPS in and awakens Samantha to tell her that they are going to the Sacred Volcano, and she has three hours to pack her bag.
• Episode: The episode follows the revised script. The main difference being that Endora gives Samantha four hours to pack.

ACT I

Stephens’ Kitchen:

• Original Script: [continuation of teaser] Darrin wants to know what goes on at the Sacred Volcano. Samantha tries to explain the rituals that they have on high holidays. Darrin interrupts to remind her that because she is expecting, she is not to hang upside down. Samantha says she will not, but Endora will because she is orthodox. Darrin still objects to her going. Samantha says it is only to please her mother, and she hasn’t been there in years. Samantha makes an effort to go into some detail, telling Darrin that they first light a torch [Darrin wants to know why a torch?] because it is dark in the volcano. Then they sit down . . .Samantha realizes that Darrin will never understand so she stops her explanation, telling Darrin he would never understand about the frog and goat. Darrin finally gets her to admit that she doesn’t really want to go, but would go to please her mother. Darrin becomes very demanding and tells Samantha that she cannot go, and he wants to hear no more about it.
• Revised Script: This script contains some of the elements of the original script Teaser. In addition, Samantha notes that when she married Darrin, it was for better or for worse, and that Halloween is one of the worst.
• Episode: The above scenes from both the original and the revised script are not used in the episode.

Darrin’s Office:

• Original Script: Darrin is typing. He stops to look at a chart and the typewriter starts typing by itself, leaving the message, “Samantha is going to the volcano tonight”.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Revised Script: Endora POPS in, asking Samantha if she is ready to go. Samantha tells Endora that she is not going. It is at this point in the revised script that Samantha tells Endora about the dinner party. There follows a conversation parallel to the original script about the dinner party, the debasement of witches, and Halloween in general. The scene continues with Samantha receiving the package of witch masks.
• Episode: The episode follows the revised script closely.

Darrin’s Office:

• Original Script: [The scene in Darrin’s office continues]. Darrin and Endora continue to argue over Samantha’s going to the volcano. Darrin orders Endora to leave, saying he has to go to a meeting. When he steps out from behind his desk, Endora has swiped his pants. He hurriedly retreats. Endora restores his pants, but then fastens his feet to the floor as she exits.
• Revised Script: Darrin is on the phone with Samantha trying to find out what has upset her. Larry is present and says he sent the witch gear to Samantha. Larry accuses Darrin of acting funny. Larry leaves and Endora POPS in. The two scripts merge here.

• Episode: This scene is cut.

Stephens’ Dining Room:

• Original Script: Samantha enters with a beautiful roast. Darrin begins to slice the meat. Suddenly he growls and tears at the meat, ripping off chunks. Darrin covers by claiming that in the army he learned that meat in chunks was better. After everyone is served and eating, Darrin suddenly lets out a growl and attacks the meat with his bare hands. Samantha quickly excuses him by saying he learned to eat quickly in the army.
• Revised Script: The meat carving part is omitted and the scene begins with Darrin eating with his hands.
• Episode: The entire scene from both script versions is not used.

• Scripts: Larry and the client have brought Darrin in from the patio. Darrin begins tearing the drapes, growling, and walking bent over, ape-like. He knocks over the coffee, and rips the sofa.

Stephens’ Hallway:

• Original Script: Darrin is afraid of what he might do and asks to be locked in a closet. Endora POPS in. Samantha tears into her for what she has done and demands that Endora remove the spell. Endora replies that it is after midnight, Halloween is over, and the spell is off.
• Revised Script: The same as the original script until the point where Samantha tears into Endora. Endora justifies her actions by claiming that Darrin needed to be taught a lesson. Samantha gives her a real tongue-lashing primarily about Endora acting like a mortal herself when she should be above that. Endora admits she was wrong and removes the spell.
• Episode: The episode follows the revised script.

TRAILER

Stephens’ Hallway:

• Scripts and Episode: The scripts and episode agree up until the very end where the scripts give Endora the line, “Oh, he won’t mind . . .until he tries to take his pants off”.

# 47, Aunt Clara's Old Flame

NOTE: The first page of each script has a "Cast List", and a "Set list". In this script the "Cast list" calls for a KANGEROO. [the spelling of kangaroo is not correct, but the script spells it this way throughout] It appears that the script originally called for a KANGEROO. As the production of the episode got underway it seems that the use of a baby elephant was more practical. Changes were made to the script during rewrites, but not all of the references to a KANGEROO were deleted since the script alternately calls for a Kangaroo or an Elephant, but only an Elephant was used in the episode.

REVIEWER’S NOTE: Much like syndicated TV which cuts parts of the episode to make room for more commercials, it was sometimes necessary to cut scenes [or parts of scenes] from episodes so they would fit the allowed 25 minute time limit. With the phone conversation between Samantha and Darrin deleted, there is no reason given for Endora to appear in the toy store. Unfortunately, scenes that explain some actions are all too often deleted, making some parts of some episodes difficult to follow. Access to an original script usually answers most of the questions, but even the script accuracy will depend on which version of the script is used.

Samantha’s Hospital Room:

• Script: Samantha is feeding the baby. Serena is present.
  SERENA: Well, I hate to leave this little maternal scene, but I really must fly.
  SAMANTHA: Thanks for the rattle, Serena. [Darrin comes bursting in. He has a hospital gown over his “Fauntleroy” suit.
• Episode: Serena’s line is cut. Darrin bursts in wearing only the Indian suit.
  Where the “Fauntleroy” suit comes from is an unanswered mystery.

TRAILER

• Script: ENDORA: [shrugs] One good turn deserves another. [She POPS out]

  ENDORA: None for me, dear. [to Mrs. Stephens, sweetly] My system just can’t take those heavy things.

  SAMANTHA: [shaking her head] Your mother insisted on exchanging it. She’s still fighting the battle of the grandmothers.

• Episode: After Samantha’s first lines, the rest of the scene is cut.
  
  
• Script:
  ENDORA: Why, Samantha . . .what makes you think I did it?

  ENDORA: [slyly] Are you quite sure?
  SAMANTHA: [gesturing toward Tabatha] You mean . . .? [then] Don’t be ridiculous, Mother. First of all, she’s shown no sign of being a witch at all, and even if she were, she couldn’t possibly manage anything as complicated as that at her age!
  ENDORA: Well, you’re right there. One may be born a witch, but it takes practice to become a virtuoso.
  SAMANTHA: So, let’s not have ant more nonsense. [moves to crib] Sorry, Oscar, your dancing career is over.
  ENDORA: Frankly, dear, I don’t see why I should. The child clearly loves the toy the way it is.

# 69, Divided, He Falls

REVIEWER”S NOTE: Though usually listed as episode # 69, “Divided He Falls”, is listed in some sources as # 68. This difference apparently came about due to “Divided” being completed one week before “A Bum Raps”, but aired one week after. However, setting aside a number and showing an episode out of order is not in agreement with the general numbering system. Based on available evidence, the staff at Harpies Bizarre is in agreement that “Divided He Falls” should be number # 69.

TEASER

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: The script begins with Samantha coming down the steps with two suitcases. She and Endora have a conversation about Samantha leaving Darrin. Samantha tells her that they are going to Florida for a vacation. The scene shifts to Darrin’s office where Larry enters to tell him that his vacation is off. The teaser ends with Darrin’s line, “After she’s killed me!”
• Episode: Reviewer’s note: The script teaser is made a part of ACT I and an entirely new teaser [which does not appear at all in the script] is filmed for the episode. This teaser, as are the teasers for episodes #’s 6 and 10, is unlike most teasers in that it has absolutely no bearing on the episode plot, and appears to have been added only to make the episode run longer.
  The episode teaser begins with Samantha coming down the stairs dressed in a neat new suit. Endora POPS in with her usual anti-Darrin comments. Samantha refers to Darrin as her Prince Charming. Darrin drives up, and as he gets out of the car, Endora first changes him into a hayseed and then a knight in shining armor. Samantha changes him back to normal just before he reaches the house. The scene ends with Darrin looking back over his shoulder with a bewildered expression.

  SAMANTHA: Darrin!! [Darrin springs off and does the first of a beautiful triple somersault] Darrin!!! [horror-stricken] You - -can’t swim!!! [Darrin completes the dive. Samantha TWITCHES and he flies back in reverse to land on the board]

# 71, The Catnapper

REVIEWER’S NOTE: This is another one of the few episodes where the Teaser has no bearing on the episode. A 2 minute 20 second Teaser that is not in the script is added with no obvious reason other than to make the episode run long enough. Strangely, enough scenes are cut from the script to provide the needed time.

End of Script TEASER

TEASER - Episode

Stephens’ Bedroom:

• Episode: The episode begins with Samantha and Darrin preparing for bed. Darrin has lines about how much he enjoyed the party they had just come home from, and that he is too wound up to sleep. Both get in bed, Samantha turns out her light but Darrin is asleep before he turns out his light. Samantha gets up and turns the light off. Then Darrin begins to snore, keeping Samantha awake. She wakes him to tell him he is snoring. He replies that he doesn’t mind, goes back to sleep, and immediately begins snoring again. Samantha grabs her pillow and a blanket and goes downstairs to sleep on the living room sofa. She is almost asleep when she hears more snoring. She gets up and traces the source of the snoring to a large dog asleep on their patio. The scene ends with Samantha sitting glumly on a lounge chair listening to the dog snore.
  Reviewer’s Note: Darrin’s opening lines in the Episode Teaser about enjoying the party are at odds with the opening scene in the kitchen [Script Teaser, Episode ACT I] where the main thrust of the scene is the fact that Darrin has been working late nights.
