Dialogue

Scarecrow: Where ya goin'?

Deimata: It's a Halloween party, I need a costume. [she vanishes]

Scarecrow: You think we need costumes?

Witch: If you were any stupider, I could sell you as a paperweight.

Scarecrow: Oh, don't be a hater.

Deimata: Whoa! You Have No Idea How Good It Feels To Be Out! 15 Years Crumpled Up In A Little Ball.

Witch: Never Know It To Look At You. You're Positively Exquisite.

Scarecrow: Yeah, You've Been Working Out, Huh?

Deimata: I've Been Stuck In A Tank, You Idiot!

Scarecrow: Oh, My Bad.

Deimata: So Much Catching Up To Do. How's The Fear Business? Stephen King Still Writing?

Witch: Yes, But His Last Novel Was Historical Fiction.

Deimata: Scary Historical Fiction?

Witch: Not Particularly.

Deimata: Hmm. What About Horror Movies? Still Big With The Kids?

Scarecrow: No, It's All Gross-Out Comedies Now, But Vampires Are In.

Deimata: Ooh. Well, That's Promising.

Witch: Except They're Romantic Vampires Who Fall In Love.

Deimata: Yuck! We've Got Work To Do.

Witch: 'Been Working Out'? Your Brain Is Made Of Straw.

Scarecrow: Well, Surprise. So Is The Rest Of Me.

Sadie: The emidula is the part of the brain that orchestrates the response when danger is detected.

Henry: You're going to fry your brain if you don't take a break.

Skylar: Stop stressing over your presentation. You're going to do great.

Sadie: You know how I fall apart under pressure. When I have to get up in front of the class, I will totally freeze up and look like an idiot.

Skylar: Just don't let it scare you.

Sadie: Said the girl with no fear.
