Spellman, this has got to stop.
This is the third night you've woken me up
because you can't sleep.
Well, third night's the charm.
Look, something's obviously bothering you.
What's going on?
Nothing. I just can't sleep.
I know the feeling.
I'll be on the couch.
And don't tell me nothing's wrong.
You've been in a funk for a week.
Even your perkiness has lost its pop.
That is so not true.
I'm at the popping peak of my perkiness.
I'm totally funkless.
Absolutely nothing is bothering me.
Okay, now something's bothering me.

How's the car coming?
Is it supposed to sound like that?
No, it's not supposed
to sound like that.
I'm afraid the Zeldamobile is dead.
It can't be.
She was fine yesterday
when I drove her to the Piggly Wiggly.
I'm telling you, there's nothing more I can do.
It's time to pull the plug and buy a new car.
Well, I can't do that.
Hilda's not back from her singles' cruise
for another week, and...
I've never bought a car by myself before.
There was a time you'd never been blonde before
but you gave that a shot.
Hi.
Notice anything different about me?
Not only is your car dead
but your niece needs a smog check.
You poor dear.
I had no idea you were so upset.
Why does everyone keep assuming I'm upset?
I'm just a little damp.
Sabrina, you have a black cloud over your head.
That only happens when a witch is in a funk
and keeping it all bottled up.
We're a very literal species.
Let's hope I never become a bleeding-heart liberal.
Is this about Kevin?
No.
School?
School's fine.
Kevin and I are ancient history and that's totally okay.
If you don't mind
I'd like to take a look
and see what your little cloud is made of.
Hmm, that's funny.
I'm seeing a lot of sadness
over your breakup with Kevin—
lingering feelings for Harvey—
conflicted emotions about Josh—
and you're clearly overwhelmed with schoolwork.
Not even.
Sometimes it just feels like
I'm being pulled
in so many different directions.
You know, like everyone expects me to be perfect
all the time.
Now, the only person who expects you to be perfect is you.
We all love you no matter what.
Thank you, Aunt Zelda.
And you see?
Just by getting it off your chest
your little black cloud is gone.
But what if it comes back?
I don't want to be depressed again.
And the wet look is totally dead.
Well, Sabrina, the only way to be sure
that a black cloud won't return is to get out of yourself.
Do something that's truly for others.
Like what?
Well, you could help me shop for a used car.
Oh, I don't want to set my sights too high.
Maybe I'll start with bathing lepers
and work my way up.
Hey, did anybody see this?
I'm thinking of going to the big protest rally this afternoon
at the Mayflower Apartments.
Ooh, yeah, I heard about that.
They want to tear down that old historic building.
and make way for a new parking structure.
I am so there.
I've been to tons of demonstrations
and I don't mean to get all braggy
but I've actually been arrested... twice.
Once with Martin Sheen.
Wow. A few more arrests
and you'll be qualified to be president.
Well, you can definitely count me in.
Really? Really? Really?
Absolutely.
If there's one thing this university needs
is more parking.
Morgan, the protest is to save the building
and stop the parking structure.
Oh.
Have a nice time.
Josh and I are going to stay here
and snuggle on the couch.
Actually, I'd like to go to the rally.
The Mayflower's architecture's pretty amazing.
I'd love to get some photographs
before they level the place.
Crumbling bricks over taut flesh.
Good choice.
Miles, how about you?
Challenging authority, public insurrection
general mayhem?
I'm all over it.
Hey, this is our first group act of civil disobedience.
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo-hoo?
That'll go over great at the protest.
All we are saying is give "Whoo-hoo" a chance.
Salem?
I did it.
I found the perfect car at the first dealer.
It's blue.
The leather is practically new
and it has the most darling cup holders.
Cup holders?
What about the mileage? The tread on the tires?
Has the car ever been in an accident?
I didn't think to ask.
But there's a lighted makeup mirror
on both visors.
Never send a woman to do a cat's job.
Hello.
Yes, this is Mr. Spellman.
My wife hasn't made up her mind yet.
What are you doing?
I know she said she liked the car
but I can't let her take it
at that price.
Salem, give me that phone.
Let's just say she's
a lot more competent in the boudoir
than she is under the hood.
Hello, this is Mrs. Spellman.
I'm afraid I'll have to call you back.
I'm about to become a widow.
I told you I can handle this.
Oh, yeah?
Then why did Mr. let's-make-a-deal
immediately give me $500 off?
What?
He said that price was firm.
What makes him think
he can take advantage of me?
You're a rube?
Save the Mayflower.
Save the Mayflower. Save the Mayflower.
Save the Mayflower.
This is just what I needed.
I am totally out of my funk.
I haven't even thought about my tragic breakup
my grades, my lack of direction...
Okay, well, not as much as I was before.
Hey, save the Mayflower.
This is so morally gratifying.
And I'm getting a fairly decent upper body workout.
It's a wonderful thing you kids are doing here.
Have some lemonade.
Oh, it's nothing, you know.
We're just holding up a few signs
raising a little awareness.
Listen, Lawman, before you break out the K-9 units
and water cannon, may I remind you
that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
clearly states that we have a right for free assembly.
Aw, geez.
Rox, give it a rest, would you?
Officer Carmichael?
Yeah.
I didn't recognize you.
You lose some weight?
Yeah, yeah. I'm on The Zone.
You know, I missed you at the No Nukes rally.
I Had a Save The Whales brunch.
You know, these cornices
are one of the best examples
of Romanesque revival in the city.
Yeah. We tried to get them declared a historical landmark
but we didn't make the cut.
And now, we've got 30 days to pack up and move out.
That's terrible.
Are a lot of young families
going to be displaced by the parking lot?
Half the tenant are families with kids.
And the other half are seniors.
I've been living here for 50 years.
Married my husband right there on this stoop.
Divorced him in the laundry room.
I don't know how we're going to find a place to live.
So they're not just knocking down a building—
they're destroying people's lives.
Look, maybe it's not over yet.
Maybe this protest will really do some good.
You're an optimistic little firecracker, aren't you?
We'd hoped the protest would attract some media attention.
But so far, none of the newspapers or TV stations
have returned our calls.
Hey, I'm the media.
I could write a piece for the Adams' paper
then word would spread
and people would learn about your plight
and the university wouldn't dare throw you out in the street.
Well, that's very sweet of you.
Now get your little heinie out of my flower bed.
You're killing my petunias.
I had a feeling you'd be back.
That car's just calling out your name.
I know, I just love...
Meow.
cars.
A subject I know quite a lot about.
I can see that.
Well, like I told your husband
I can give it to you for 11 thou.
Well, that seems like a very good price.
Meow!
Uh, if I hadn't noticed the excessive wear on the tires
and the shoddy repair work to the fender.
Why, I wouldn't give you a penny over $9,000.
You're a pretty tough little negotiator.
What say I throw in some brand-new tires
shave off a few bucks for the fender
and I give it to you for $10,500.
That seems like a very reasonable compromise.
Meow!
Oh, hush up, kitty.
Where do I sign?
Ow!
Would you excuse me for a moment?
What are you doing?
Can't you see? He's ripping you off.
He seems like a perfectly honest man.
Yeah, and I don't use your toothbrush
to clean my ears.
That's disgusting.
I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to do
a little comparison shopping.
I really love your angle—
"People Before Parking."
It's inspired.
Of course, no one ever stands up
for the people who need parking.
Hey.
Hi.
You don't think it's too sentimental?
Not at all.
You know I got to say, I'm really impressed.
Most people our age are too self-absorbed
to get this involved.
Not only do you care, you put it in print.
As much as I also care about people I've never met
we have a 7:30 dinner reservation.
I wonder if this is why Ralph Nader stayed single.
One look at his suits will tell you why.
Come on.
Okay, well, have fun
and don't eat any endangered species.
Hey, let me know if you need any help.
I don't think I'm the one that needs the help.
I think I liked you better
when you were depressed.
Look, there's Dean Pitchford.
He's the one in charge of the demolition of the Mayflower.
Hi, Dean Pitchford. I'm Sabrina Spellman.
Oh, yes, our resident instigator.
Well, thanks to your article
I had a sleepless night fielding phone calls
from parents and trustees.
Maybe you'd sleep better if you did what was right
and kept those tenants in their homes.
Or, you know, you could just screen your calls.
Well, thanks.
But I won't have to worry
about my phone ringing anymore.
The Board of Trustees just had an emergency meeting
and resolved the problem.
Well, that's great.
Wait a minute.
How exactly did you resolve it?
Hi, Mrs. Smiley, I'm so glad you're here.
I just saw the Dean
and he said the Board resolved the problem
but he didn't say how.
Well, apparently your article
really put a fire under him.
That's great. You must be so happy.
We don't have time to be happy.
Now they say we have to packed up and out of here by next week.
Sabrina, stop beating yourself up about this.
Nobody's blaming you.
Yeah, but if I hadn't written that article...
They were going to be evicted anyway.
Just not quite this soon.
Wow. Somebody sure has a black cloud over her head.
What? Oh, I can explain.
Uh, it's just a weird atmospheric convergence...
There's no cloud over my head.
No, it's something we native English-speakers call
"just an expression."
Sabrina's upset because they're evicting
everyone at the Mayflower.
That's awful!
And you worked so hard on your little article.
I think that somebody needs to treat herself
to a new pair of shoes.
Seriously.
How could the dean and the board of trustees
hear about those people and still be so cold-hearted?
Most people don't react to things
like you and I do, Sabrina.
That's because, to the normal world,
these people are just faceless strangers.
Well, maybe if they saw the faces of those tenants
they wouldn't be so apathetic.
Faces...
Of course. You just gave me an idea, Spellman.
How's this?
Hot off the laser printer.
I also took the liberty
of airbrushing Mrs. Smiley's mole.
Oh, these photos are perfect.
When people see these faces, they're going to know
how important this cause is.
Yeah, I'm still here.
Great! All right!
We'll see you tomorrow at 3:00.
All right, Channel Six is coming to our protest. Woo-hoo!
No way! That's fantastic!
I'm sorry, am I missing something?
Oh, great news.
Tomorrow, we are holding the biggest demonstration
that has ever been held at Adams College
and three news crews are coming.
And a reporter from the Boston Globe.
A dozen posters, ready to go.
Ooh.
The guy at Kinko's was so moved
he gave me free collating for the rest of my life.
Wow, these are perfect.
Okay, we still got a ton of things to organize.
We got to plaster these up all over campus.
Well, I can be in charge of that.
You want to help me, honey?
Josh, I hate to drop a reality bomb
on this little do-gooder convention
but we have plans tonight.
We're going to the opening of that new club, the Trocadero.
Oh, man, I totally forgot.
Maybe you could plaster one of these up while you're there.
Oh, no can do. The only place Josh's hands are going to be
are on me.
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to cancel.
What?
I-I bought a new dress
I told everybody that we're coming
and I pulled major strings to get us in.
Morgan, these people are about to lose their homes.
I think that's a little more important
than seeing you and your friends dressed in Saran Wrap...
yet again.
Do you really wear Saran Wrap?
It's pleather.
Josh, you can't just dismiss me.
We promised each other that if we had a disagreement
we would at least discuss it.
Well, your idea of discussing it means I change my mind.
And it's been working so well for us.
Well, it's not working this time.
I'm going with Sabrina.
Of course you are.
Sabrina says jump and suddenly you're slapping flyers
all over a school you don't even go to.
So...
on a scale from one to ten
how uncomfortable do you feel right now?
Very comfortable. Feels just like home.
You know, I understand if you want to be with Morgan.
No, no, I want to be with you.
I mean, here, working on this, with you.
I have had it.
I have been to every used car lot
on the eastern seaboard.
One more toupee-wearing, polyester-clad salesman
calls me "little lady..."
You're worries are over, little lad-ya.
I've come across a couple of beauties
that I think will be perfect for you.
A '72 Oldsmobile?
Salem, that thing's a land yacht.
Well, as you fade into your golden years
you may find yourself spreading a little
and you'll want a nice bench seat.
This is ridiculous!
I am going to get that little blue car we saw yesterday.
Fine. Get the car.
But since I'm the one maintaining it
at least let me look under the hood.
All right.
But for goodness sake, this time
could you try to be a little more discreet?
How does it look?
Water pump's new
but it looks like the cylinder head might be loose.
I wish I had a wrench!
Well, little lady
have I got good news for you.
I talked to my manager
he has agreed to your $9,000 offer.
Well, that's wonderful.
Let's go sign the papers.
I'll be there in just a sec.
Salem, he's going to meet our price.
Oh! I'm stuck!
Oh, is there a problem?
Um, no, it's just... that... well...
my cat is stuck.
I can see that.
But don't you worry, we'll take him out of there.
And if anything goes wrong
then we'll just get you a new cat
any color you'd like.
People before parking! People before parking!
Spellman, you rock.
This is so much better
than the genetically-engineered corn rally
I can't even tell you.
Thanks. Coming from you, that's quite a compliment.
What's with the new jewelry?
It's not really a protest
unless I chain myself to something.
We all have our little traditions.
Hey, Miles, have you seen Josh?
He's supposed to be corraling the news crews.
No, I haven't.
But I have made an amazing discovery.
Chicks dig social revolutionaries.
Down with The Man!
Hey, Sabrina, we've got problems.
Josh, what's the matter? Where are the news crews?
They're all covering a breaking story.
Apparently it's the biggest thing since Baby Jessica.
Paramedics are standing by
as firefighters work tirelessly to free the terrified feline.
We'll keep you updated as this tragic situation unfolds.
Meanwhile, let's see if we can get a comment
from the grief-stricken owner.
Oh, really, he's fine.
So you're saying you could just throw me over your shoulder?
Gotta go. Here.
Well, he's truly like a member of the family.
Sure.
Hey, Aunt Zelda. What are you doing?
You're totally Bogarting my coverage.
Well, I'm sorry, but I can't use my magic
with all these people watching.
I have an idea— Do you think you can keep
everyone's attention on you for a minute?
Well, that shouldn't be a problem.
Salem, you're ruining my protest.
Yeah? Like I planned on waving my butt on national television!
Can't you just suck it in a little?
I am!
I got to cut back on the nachos.
On the plus side, I am now a celebrity.
No, your butt's a celebrity.
Not the first time.
We'll have to get the Jaws of Life!
It'll take a couple hours!
I don't have a couple of hours.
Is he all right? Are there any missing limbs?
Oh, he's fine. No harm done...
until we get home.
Cut.
Let's pack it in.
Hey, did you know the students are storming
the administration building over at Adams?
Well, it's not a cat stuck in an engine block, but...
it's better than nothing— Let's go; let's roll.
So shall we go sign the papers?
Absolutely.
But there's one slight problem.
Your cat seems to have done some damage while he was stuck in there.
I would say... $2,000 worth?
So we're back to the original asking price.
Right you are, little lady.
Well, in that case, I'd like to trade in my cat.
Do you have a '97 calico with low mileage?
We're reporting live from Adams College
where administrators are planning on
turning 50 residents of the Mayflower Apartments
out onto the cold streets of Boston.
Excuse me! May I have your attention?
People before parking!
Please! May I please have your attention?
Quiet down. Let the man speak.
After careful consideration
of the plight of the Mayflower residents
which was, fortunately, brought to our attention...
Adams College is prepared to compensate the tenants
by providing housing in the Candor Arms
a new residential community on the other side of the campus.
You call that compensation?
How can you insult these people
by asking them to move from their beloved homes
into pre-fab cardboard boxes?
Yeah!
Do these pre-fab cardboard boxes
have washers and dryers in each unit?
You bet.
And dishwashers?
Yes, sir.
How are appliances supposed to compare
to a lifetime of memories?
Compared to my memories, they win hands down.
When do we move?
Ah, that's the spirit!
Aw, what's the matter? Post-protest blues?
I guess.
You know the university is still going to tear down that building.
I just feel like we settled.
Sabrina, this wasn't about a building,
it was about people— you said so yourself.
And they're happy.
I don't think they feel like they're settling.
You did a good thing.
You really think so?
Yeah, I do.
You're pretty amazing.
Sabrina...
Sabrina, I just want to tell you how wonderful this all is.
Thanks to you and your boyfriend, I got a new home.
Oh, well, I'm glad it all worked out.
And he's not my boyfriend. He already has a girlfriend.
Well, actually, not anymore.
Morgan and I broke up this morning.
What? Really?
Oh, Josh, I'm so sorry.
No, she's not.
It's really over this time.
He had his mind made up.
Nothing that I could say or wear was gonna change it.
I'm sorry, Morgan.
I know how much you cared about him.
I did.
But in the end, I guess I was just too much woman for him.
You know, I really think
that he would rather be with someone like you.
Really? Did he... did he say that?
I mean, did he actually mention me by name?
I didn't say you, I said someone like you.
Oh. Right.
Oh, I just...
I don't know what I'm going to do, Sabrina.
I just feel so depressed.
All I could say is, you got to get out of yourself.
You know, you got to focus all your energies
on something positive.
Yeah, that's excellent advice
but I think I'll just stay with my own tried and true method.
Hi, Dave! I'm all ready.
Bye.
Now why didn't I think of that?
