- Derek: You seem like such a total witch.
Sabrina: That's so sweet! edit » - Salem: Young man! If I might have a word with you. Now I’m not her father and I don’t care how late you keep her out... However table scraps would be appreciated.
Sabrina: Oh just ignore Salem, everyone else does.
Derek: Salem Saberhagen?
Salem: The one and only.
Derek: Oh man, it’s great to meet you. You’re a legend in the Other Realm.
Salem: Really? I thought your generation had forgotten me.
Sabrina: Lord knows we try. edit » - Zelda: I’m back! Salem, here’s your whitening solution. Oh and the dentist wanted to throw in some mouthwash.
Salem: (beathing deeply to emphasize each "H") How helpful for my hhhalitosis. edit » - Zelda: Oo! My tooth!
Salem: Silence wench! I’m trying to read Liz Smith. Apparently the material girl really digs that cabala.
Zelda: I appreciate your concern.
Salem: Well I’d give you the name of my dentist but you’d have to get neutered at the same time.
Zelda: Thanks but I have an appointment with Doctor Axelrod in the Other Realm.
Salem: Could you pick me up some whitening solution for my incisors?
Zelda: I’ve a better idea. Why don’t you cut back on the double espresso’s?
Salem: Please! I quit smoking, this is all I’ve got left. edit » - Hilda: She was obsessing over this mortal guy. You know the story, boy meets girl; girl uses magic; boy dumps girl; girl goes to Rocky Horror with aunt; aunt sits on melted raisinets; aunt changes seats; aunt sits on guy in garter belt...
Zelda: Hello! Back to Sabrina? I just wish she could find a nice witch to go out with, it’s so tricky dating mortals.
Hilda: Mortals? It’s tricky dating anything with a pulse! Plants I’m good with. edit »
- The title of this episode comes from the line "Some of my best friends are.." A line used when someone is attempting t justify there prejudices. An example comes strait from this episode when it is said "some of my best friends are half-mortals, I just don't want them living in my neighborhood." Obviously, alluding to the issue of racism/prejudice in society. edit »
- Hilda: I got rice in my hair and toast in my bustier. Huge success...
Both Sabrina and Hilda attend the Rocky Horror Picture Show dressed as Magenta and Riff Raff, respectively. They refer to the tradtion audience members have of throwing rice and toast at certain points in the movie, and Hilda mentions she sat on "a guy in a garter belt," referring to how audience members dress up as the characters. edit »
