James: It was the Summer of Sixty-Nine. Fourteen sixty-nine and Botticelli was having one of his backyard barbeques. Suddenly I looked up and saw a vision due west of the suckling pig. She was beautiful, she was brilliant and for a brief moment in time, she was mine. Amanda: What happened? James: Ah she left me for that stud-muffin Gutenberg. Ah big deal, so the guy printed the Bible, it's not like he wrote the blasted thing. (looking up to heaven) Sorry.
James: Well, Miss Wiccan, you certainly are quite bold for a guest. Amanda: I'm just getting warmed up. James: Listen to me, dearie, I've been a witch since the Spanish Inquisition and if Torquemada didn't scare me, you certainly don't.
James: (to Amanda) Let's see, you've been expelled from twelve different schools. You've forced fourteen teachers into early retirement. One into a straitjacket.
Amanda: Yeah, I wonder what kind of slobbering animal teaches history? James: That would be me. James Hexton, headmaster. In a few weeks I should have the slobbering under control.
Zelda: Oh my God! That's James Hexton! Hilda: The James Hexton?! Who's James Hexton?
Zelda: Wait Sabrina! (reading) Oh poor Amanda's worse than ever. Salem: Can a person be worse than pure evil?
Sabrina: [to Zelda] Great! I'm on the virge of getting a 9-11 Turbo, and you play the apocalypse card.
