Miss Tanner: Your lousy, disgusting dog has bitten Albert! He took a piece out of Albert's arm.

Daniel: What?

Miss Tanner: Did you all hear that? That miserable dog tried to mutilate a child. Madame Blanc had to rush Albert to a first aid center to have stitches put in!

Daniel: That's impossible.

Miss Tanner: Let's go to the first aid center. Even if you can't see the blood, at least you can hear that poor child's crying!

Daniel: That's enough now! My dog is a peaceful, faithful animal. He's never hurt anyone. The boy must have done something to him first.

Miss Tanner: Oh, the poor little animal! The poor little puppy! If I ever see him within a mile of this school again, I'll have him put to death!

Daniel: Stop it! I won't allow such talk, you understand?

Suzy Bannion: What do witches do?

Dr. Frank Mandel: They are malefic, negative and destructive. Their knowledge of the art of the occult gives them tremendous powers. They can change the course of events and people's lives, through harm. You don't believe me? Their goal is to accumulate great personal wealth. It can only be achieved by injury to others. They can cause suffering, sickness, and even the death of those who for whatever reason offended them. Why do you have all this interest in the occult?

Suzy Bannion: Because friends spoke to me about witches. I read some stuff.
