1. Sally Owens: [after Michael's death; brings the spell book out] You brought him into my life and now I want you to bring him back. Bring him back! I have never asked you for anything. I've never asked you for spells but do this. I know you can bring him back.
2. Aunt Jet: No, dear. We won't do that.
3. Aunt Frances: We don't do that.
4. Sally Owens: But you can. You can do this. I know you can. I remember. I found it here when mommy and daddy died.
5. Aunt Frances: Even if we did bring him back, it wouldn't be Michael. It would be something else. Something dark and unnatural.
6. Sally Owens: [Starts crying] I don't care what he comes back as. As long he comes back. Please do this for me. Please? Please? Please? Please?
