Some time later Sabrina and Harvey were eating dinner at the hotel restaurant.
"It's the worst date I've ever had," thought Sabrina, glumly.
Harvey had threatened to kill the busboy, drown the waiter, and beat up the cook, all before sitting at the table. Sure, he had apologized to everyone as soon he realized what he had said, but still.
"Sorry, Sabrina," Harvey muttered again, after mistakenly asking her to give him back his machine gun.
"It's all right, Harvey," said Sabrina, annoyed, putting down her "English-Bad Jazz Age and Hard Boiled Slang Dictionary."
"Look doll, I mean, Sabrina," said Harvey, "I know things ain't been real swell but things is gonna improve soon. Soon as I can stops being hip to the jive."
He winced.
"Man, that ain't the ways I meant to say it doll . . . Sabrina."
"Things is swell," said Sabrina. "I mean are swell, whew, this talk is contagious. The only thing that's important is that we're here together, and alone . . ." They were alone no longer, Hilda and Zelda had appeared.
"Hi Sabrina," said Aunt Hilda. "Morgan told us you had someone call for us. I thought it was weird, but then Zelda found out you were sitting in the hotel dining room, and I figured you called me to help celebrate. Bring on the buffet!"
"Aunt . . ." said Sabrina, exasperated.
"Sabrina," said Aunt Zelda quickly, "I know your upset we sent Salem to chaperone. We did it for your own good. Besides, Los Vegas being expensive these days, . . ."
"Not like the summer of fifty eight," interrupted Hilda.
" . . . we thought it would be a good idea to have Salem get you a free room and reception."
"Harvey," said Sabrina, "say something."
"You sure, Sabrina . . . dame?" asked Harvey.
"Yes," said Sabrina.
"Glad you two ripe tomatoes came out to this joint," said Harvey. "How about you broads join us, and we'll pull a soup job, blast open a tin can at the Federal Savings."
Hilda and Zelda stared at him. "Sabrina," asked Zelda, "when did Harvey start doing gangster imitations?"
"Bad gangster imitations," added Hilda.
Sabrina zapped everyone at the table into the private dining room next door. Bugsy, the mime, mimed out giving Sabrina a rose. Salem was watching from a nearby table, beside the machine gun, in agony, on the verge of throwing up.
"This is cruel and unusual punishment," he sobbed.
"We have a cat, a mime, a gangster, a machine gun, and an unhappy bride, in the dining room" said Hilda. "Which means I'm clueless and have no idea what's going on."
"I have a feeling," said Zelda, "the feline is somehow involved."
"Let me tell you the whole story," said Sabrina, telling them the whole story.
"I should of known any crony of Salem's was a crook," said Zelda, ten minutes later.
"The name Bugsy should of been a dead give away," said Hilda. "Wait, I was one of Salem's cronies. Does this make you think I'm a crook?"
"Never mind," said Zelda. "First thing we do is try to get rid of that spell."
In about a half an hour Zelda had rounded up all the necessary ingredients. A hoover (a vacuum), a kinescope film of an episode of the untouchables, a copy of the twenty-first amendment, an old copy of the New York Penal Code, eye of newt, water and calcium carbonate. "Salem, you have experience with these types of spells, as much as I'll regret asking you to do it, you say the incantation."
"Here we have a third rate crook, at him the judges would throw the book, he ain't cut out for crime, bud, turn him back into a shlub," Salem said gleefully. With a puff of smoke, Harvey returned to normal.
"Great," he said. "Now I can stop thinking about robbing the First National Bank,"
"Did you have plans?" asked Salem. "Tell me, Tell, me."
"Forget it," said Sabrina.
"The only plans I have," said Harvey, "include Sabrina."
"The only plans I have on my mind," said Sabrina, "is wedding bells, preferably someplace not owned by the same crook who tried to force me to marry him, turn Harvey into one of his associates."
"That'll have to wait," said a women appearing out of nowhere. "This is a summons from the witches council." She handed the notice to Sabrina, and disappeared.
