Winifred Sanderson: “Billy! I killed you once, I shall kill you again, you maggoty malfeasence! Hang on to your heads!”

Master's Wife: “Okay that's it, party's over! Get out of my house!”

Master: “Now, pudding face.”

Master's Wife: “Shove it, Satan!”

Sarah: “Ooh. Thou mustn't speak to Master in such a manner.”

Master: “They call me Master.”

Winifred Sanderson: [Winnie, Sarah and Mary stop, turn and glare at the boys] “Chicks?”

Bus Driver: “Mmm, mmm, mmm! I need one of those instant ice packs. You girls are giving me a fever!”

Voice of Thackery Binx: [after being run over by a city bus] “I hate it when that happens.”

Max: “Let's light this sucker and meet the old broads.”
