  DARRIN: She yawned! But so intelligently! Just like a grown up. She opened her little mouth and yawned! You ever see such an adult expression.

  DARRIN: Worried? There's nothing to be worried about now. Our worries are over.
  SAMANTHA: [confused] They are?
  DARRIN: Sure. Thanks to Tabitha. If it weren't for her, I'd still be slaving trying to come up with an idea to suit Robbins. I don't mind telling you I was getting desperate. I've never worked so hard, on anything. [his arm around her, a comforting squeeze] But it's okay now. [gesturing at Tabitha] There she is - - -the perfect baby - - -the perfect solution to all her daddy's problems! And her mommy's too. [winks at her] Cause if she doesn't solve her daddy's problems, life is miserable for mommy, right?

TRAILER

Script and Episode: Script and Episode are the same other than the script does not define the beginning of the Trailer.

# 77, Witches and Warlocks Are My Favorite Things

This script features two main story lines, each getting about the same amount of time. One story line is Darrin's golf game, the other is the testing of Tabitha. Running parallel stories does not let either develop to its fullest. Therefore, the golfing scenes were removed and only the testing of Tabitha was featured in the aired version. In this episode the main body of the aired episode, with the exception of the golfing scenes, generally follows the script, with only the usual number of variations between the script and aired episode. The TEASER and TRAILER, however, have totally different settings and lines.

While Darrin is telling Samantha about his upcoming golf game with Larry, and is not watching Tabitha, she twitches her nose and the sausages fly to her. Samantha tells Darrin to take his time as some of her relatives are dropping in to visit. Darrin looks at Samantha while trying to spear a sausage on his fork, but he hits nothing but plate.
DARRIN: Your relatives! Sam, I - - - [looking down puzzled] Did you or didn't you give me sausages?
SAMANTHA: I most certainly did! [THE CAMERA PULLS BACK as they turn and look at Tabitha who is busy eating the string of sausages].
DARRIN: [indignantly] Those are Daddy's sausages! Sam, she's at it again! [Samantha takes the sausages from Tabitha] Darrin asks Samantha what brings on the visit of relatives. Samantha replies that they have heard about Tabitha's powers and are coming to see her. Darrin doesn't like the idea of his house full of witches and warlocks, and insists that they look at the baby and leave. Samantha tells Darrin that there will be no magic from her side of the family, but she won't vouch for his. [Samantha nods her head in Tabitha's direction. Tabitha is wiggling her nose and the sausages are floating over to her.]

# 81, Twitch or Treat

REVIEWERS NOTE: There are two different scripts available for this script/episode comparison. The first script, written by James Henerson, and dated August 26, 1966 is listed as the “Revised Final Draft”. The second script, which lists both James Henerson and Ruth Brooks Flppin as authors, is dated September 5, 1966 and is listed as “Second Revised Final Draft”.
Since the later of the scripts most closely follows the episode, it will be used for the comparison. Then, a comparison of the main differences between the two scripts will be given to point out how the first script would be almost impossible to compare with the episode.

COMPARISON OF THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SCRIPTS 1 AND 2

If the episode had been filmed according to script 1, episodes 80 and 81 could have easily been a two-parter since both draw heavily on the presence of Endora’s house.

CAST LIST

Tabatha is listed in the cast list of Script 1, though she does not appear in either script or the episode.

TEASER

The teasers of the two scripts are identical until Uncle Arthur’s voice is heard. In Script 1, his voice is coming from the radio, even though the radio is not turned on, and his announcement lines about the party are more extensive. In Script 2, his voice comes from the hall picture. Also, in Script 1, Samantha and Darrin have lines about the voice coming from the radio, and the lines that Arthur is saying that do not appear in script 2

ACT I of Script 1 begins in Endora’s Living Room with Endora using magic to decorate and trim the room for the party. Samantha is present and fusses at Endora for not inviting Uncle Arthur. Endora is quite adamant that she will not have her party ruined by his boorish jokes. Endora remembers she has not ordered the caviar. She does an incantation and a sturgeon appears in her hands [the script notes that any large fish will do]. In Script 2, this scene takes place during the party. In Script 1, Samantha continues to try to get Arthur invited to the party:

SAMANTHA: Uncle Arthur, if mother invites you, will you promise not to pull any practical jokes?
UNCLE ARTHUR: Oh absolutely . . .on my wart of honor.
ENDORA: Your what?
UNCLE ARTHUR: My wart of honor [shows them his hand with a wart on it] See? I got it from playing with a princess.
SAMANTHA: [hooked] Warts from a princess?
UNCLE ARTHUR: Well, she said she was a princess, but she turned out to be a frog.

This scene continues with Endora threatening Arthur if he shows up at the party. In Script 2, this scene is cut entirely.

In Script 1, Gladys knocks at the door of Endora’s house. Arthur zaps her back to her own house to knock on her own door. In Script 2, this scene takes place at the Stephens’ house before the party, but after Endora had done her decorations. In Script 1, a discussion develops between Gladys and Abner over Endora’s house. In Script 2, the scene is eliminated.

In Script 1, Darrin is shown in the bedroom in a tux, trying to tie his tie. He has a long speech, talking to himself, about in thirty years telling his grandchildren about going to a witches’ Halloween party. He says some nice things about Samantha, who enters behind him just in time to hear his comments about her. Samantha ties his tie for him. In Script 2, this scene is cut.

In Script 1, the first party scene is Boris arriving in a chauffeured limo. [Optional in the script is Boris gesturing and the limo POPPING out]. He then walks with the cat to the house. In Script 2, the bit with the limo is cut.

In Script 2, Gladys is frequently seen in the shrubbery around Endora’s house trying to peek in. This is the case when she sees Boris arrive. In Script 2, Gladys is seen in her own house at the window with her binoculars.

In Script 1, there is a scene where Darrin waits in the entry hall while Samantha shows the baby sitter [Sally] where things are in Tabatha’s room. The doorbell rings. There are two trick-or-treaters, a ghost and a pirate. The pirate is much bigger than the ghost. They hold out bags, and Darrin gives them each something. The ghost exits, but the pirate suddenly grows to giant size, brandishing his cutlass and threatening to make Darrin walk the plank. The pirate demands pieces of eight, saying he will accept pieces of four when Darrin says he has no pieces of eight. The pirate shrinks to normal size and removes his mask to reveal Uncle Arthur. Samantha comes down the stairs, resplendent in a sexy formal evening gown. Both men react and admire her loveliness. In script 2, this scene is deleted.

In Script 1, Gladys calls the police, the fire department and the SPCA, but gets no attention from any of them. She then calls Councilman Green, threatens to give her story to his opponent if he does not show up, and arranges to meet him in the bushes in front of Endora’s house. End of ACT I. In Script 2, she does not threaten the councilman, nor does she make any arrangements to meet him at Endora’s house.

In Script 1, as Samantha and Darrin arrive at the party, Endora calls Darrin by his correct name. In Script 2, she is not shown to greet them, but calls Darrin a variety of names during the party.

In Script 1, Uncle Arthur tries to sneak in the front door. Endora sees him, gestures, and Arthur finds himself out the back door. He goes back in, only to find himself outside the front door. This happens several times throughout the script. In Script 2, this happens only to the councilman and his manager, and Arthur does the magic.

In Script 1, Endora warns Samantha not to introduce Durwood as mortal since it might make some of the guests uncomfortable. Darrin wants to know, “What about me?” In Script 2, this scene is cut.

In Script 1 there is a four-man combo in one corner playing dance music. In Script 2 there is no combo, and when Darrin asks where the music comes from, Samantha replies that they have a “Ghost to Ghost hookup”.

In Script 1, Enchantra corners Darrin and regales him with the sickening food details of the party Hagatha gave last year. This dialog extends over into Eva’s dance. In Script 2, Enchantra is not at the party and Arthur delivers the food lines.

In Script 1, Endora refers to Darrin as “Durwood”. Instead of his usual reply, “It’s Darrin”, he replies, “It’s a lovely party Angora”. Endora has the line, “Finally getting the idea, aren’t you?” In Script 2, this bit is cut.

In Script 1, Hagatha is at the party. In Script 2, Hagatha does not appear.

In Script 1, Arnold Palmer and Sandy Koufax are at the party, but have no lines. In Script 2, it is Willie Mays at the party and he has two lines.

In Script 1, trick-or-treaters show up. Endora gives them some candy, but spots Arthur as the pirate and ZAPS him out. A small child POPS in, in a pirate’s outfit, starts to cry and runs out. In script 2, this scene is deleted.

In Script 1, Samantha suddenly hears Arthur’s voice, but he in invisible. She asks how he got in. He answers that he was in the child’s pocket. Things suddenly begin to fly around as Arthur makes his way across the room. He cannot be seen, but his insane laughter is heard all over the room. Arthur continues his rampage. Endora threatens to have him up before the Witches and Warlocks Disciplinary Committee for his behavior. In Script 2, this scene is cut.

In Script 1, Endora quiets the guests, encouraging them to dance. She dances with Boris, Samantha with Darrin. Darrin looks at the combo. A close shot of each of the four show that all are Arthur. Endora orders Arthur out. He responds with an extended drum solo. End of ACT II. In Script 2, this scene is deleted.

TRAILER

In Script 1, Samantha and Darrin are shown leaving Endora’s house. Endora has been horrified when the guests have congratulated her on having such a talented brother. As Samantha and Darrin walk home, the house behind them suddenly POPS out. In Script 2, this scene is replaced with the closing scene in the Stephens’ bedroom.

  SAMANTHA: All right, all right. Darrin you’re right. Even mother agrees with you.

Stephens’ Living Room:

  SAMANTHA: [to Tabatha] Look, honey, the pretty new rattle Diaper Dan brought for you . . .

  SAMANTHA: Larry’s car broke down, so she’s going to drop him off at the office and pick me up on the way back.

In the beginning, when your nose would start to twitch, I wouldn’t know whether you were going to sneeze or make the house disappear. But I tried to understand. I figured you were a witch and you couldn’t help it. But this . . .to give away a man’s hound’s tooth sport coat, his favorite sport coat, without even consulting him. I mean me . . .that’s really something.
  SAMANTHA: Darrin, I can’t believe this. That you could get so angry over a sport coat.

ACT I

Larry’s Office:

• Script:
  DARRIN: [dry] Where did you do your residency, Doctor?
  LARRY: Huh?
  DARRIN: Vienna? Heidleberg? [Reviewer’s note: This is the script spelling for Heidleberg.] I don’t see your diploma on the wall.
• Episode: After Darrin’s first line, the rest is cut.
  
  
• Script:
  DARRIN: Okay, Doctor. Which type is my hound’s tooth sport jacket?
  TATE: It’s hard to say. On the surface it seems to be amphigoric but we’ll have to go into it more deeply. I would say, off-hand, however, that you were in the wrong.
• Episode: “Okay, Doctor”, is cut. Tate’s lines are cut.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: [Samantha is seated on the sofa. Louise stands in front of her She has been lecturing Samantha in exactly the same way that Larry has been lecturing Darrin].
  SAMANTHA: Wrong? Louise, you should have seen it. It was fifteen years old with black and orange checks. . . . .
  LOUISE: On the surface, yes. But Doctor Kramer says that clothes are very centripetal . . .that means significant. It started an argument, didn’t it?
  SAMANTHA: Look, Louise, I’m sure it’ll all blow over by this evening. Why don’t we just forget it.
  LOUISE: We have to wait for the baby-sitter anyway. We may as well get to the bottom of this. Now . . .to you it was just an ugly coat . . .
• Episode: [Louise is seated on the sofa facing Samantha] The scene begins with Louise’s line, “Now . . .to you it was just an ugly coat . . . All previous lines are cut.

  TATE: Of course. To you it was just your favorite sport coat, but to Sam it represents a threat.
  DARRIN: [dubious] Larry, I’m not sure . . .
  TATE: You said yourself you bought it twelve years ago. Well, where were you fifteen years ago? In college, right?
  DARRIN: Yes, but . . .
  TATE: Unmarried . . .not a care in the world, right? [Darrin shrugs assent] Well, to Sam, that coat represents that part of your life before you met her, and she was jealous of it. It was an act of love for her to give it away.
  DARRIN: Did you get all this from Dr. Kramer?
• Episode: The above scene is cut.

Hunting Apparel Store:

• Script: [Evidently an Abercrombie-Fitch type of store in which there is a male mannequin in fox hunting garb. Also, a few English saddles. Samantha and Louise stand in front of a mannequin, waiting for a saleslady]
  SAMANTHA: Oh, I hope they have one. This is our last chance.
  LOUISE: You know, you don’t have to get the same jacket. Any loud, outlandish thing would still show Darrin that you still think of him as romantic and dashing.
  SAMANTHA: But I wanted to get him one as nearly like the old one as I could. That would really make the point. Wouldn’t it?
  LOUISE: I suppose so, but Dr. Kramer says compromise is the basic necessity of married life. [the saleslady appears]
  SALESLADY: I’m sorry. I thought we might have had one left. They used to be quite popular for the hunt. But we stopped making them several years ago.
  SAMANTHA: Why is that?

  DARRIN: So? You admit it. Then there’s nothing more to discuss. [he moves quickly to the entry hall.
  SAMANTHA: [following him] Darrin . . . .
• Episode: Samantha does not pick up the robe. Her first line is changed to, “Well, I’d rather be a witch than a . . . .convict!”. To her second line, after she says, “Darrin!”; “don’t you dare walk out on me!!” is added.

ACT II

Darrin’s Office:

• Script: [Larry enters. Darrin is on the sofa having a bad dream. Larry wakes him]
  TATE: Have you been here all night?
  DARRIN: Boy, was I wrong. How could I have been so wrong?
  TATE: Look. Just take it easy, and start at the beginning. What happened?
  DARRIN: That present she had for me . . .it was a hound’s tooth sport coat.
  TATE: [disturbed] Oh.
  DARRIN: That means she’s dissatisfied with being married, right? That she unconsciously wants to be single again?
  TATE: [worried; hedging] Well, not necessarily.
  DARRIN: [looking up] What do you mean, not necessarily?
  TATE: Well, it was only an interpretation.
  DARRIN: [rising] Larry, let me understand this. Sam and I had the worst fight we’ve ever had because of what you said, and now you say it was only an interpretation?
  TATE: [backing off a bit] Look, Darrin. . .I’m not a psychiatrist.
  DARRIN: [getting madder] You were doing a pretty good impersonation.
  TATE: Buddy-boy, I feel terrible about this.
  DARRIN: [loud] She hit the ceiling when she saw that robe. Called it a . . .a prison gown.
  TATE: Wow. You two aren’t ready to handle the centripetal kind of fight. You don’t even know the rules.
  DARRIN: Larry, what are you talking about?
  TATE: Well, you just can’t . . .have a serious fight without knowing the rules. That’s the whole point of Dr. Kramer’s theory. First you have to define your terms. Then you have to determine your opponent’s vulnerable areas in order to avoid them. The fight has to mean something. It has to have some significance.
  DARRIN: Well, this one meant I spent the night on this . . .[indicating couch]. How’s that for significant?
• Episode: After Darrin’s line about, “Boy, was I wrong . . .the entire above scene is cut.

Stephens’ Living Room:

• Script: [Endora sits on the sofa next to Samantha]
  ENDORA: He bought you this?
  SAMANTHA: Yes. Do you realize what that means? It means he takes me for granted . . .that he thinks of me as . . .as a . . .whatever [starts to cry in earnest].

  SAMANTHA: [startled] Mother, I’m not going anywhere. I don’t even know where Darrin is.
  ENDORA: So much the better. [she spots the hound’s tooth coat] And I suppose he bought that horror for himself.
  SAMANTHA: He didn’t buy it. I did.
  ENDORA: [can’t believe it] It’s worse than I thought. He’s positively corrupted your judgment.
  SAMANTHA:[ building up to another crying jag] I thought he loved it. But he didn’t. He hated it!
  ENDORA: Samantha, get hold of yourself. We can be out of here in five minutes. [Samantha notices what Endora has done]
  SAMANTHA: [rising] Mother, stop that. [she TWITCHES at the suitcase and it flies back upstairs]
• Episode: The above scene is cut.
  
  
• Script:
  SAMANTHA: Do you think I should call him at the office?
  ENDORA: [disgusted] Oh, for Hecate’s sake. You mean you’re going to stay here?
  SAMANTHA: Of course. I love him.
  ENDORA: Well, there’s no accounting for tastes. If you feel that way why don’t you just [shrugs, waves her arms as if casting a spell] get him back here.
  SAMANTHA: I can’t do that.
  ENDORA: Why not? You can erase the entire argument from his memory. Although if I were you I’d think twice about ruining a good thing.
  SAMANTHA: [she’s tempted] No . . .That’s one of the things we were fighting about . . .and Darrin’s right. I can’t use witchcraft every time I have a problem.
  ENDORA: Darling, that’s what it’s there for.
  SAMANTHA: [to herself] But I can just call him and tell him he was right.
• Episode: After Samantha’s first line, the rest of the above is cut.
