Bedknobs and Broomsticks; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb

Bedknobs and Broomsticks; or, 
How I Learned to Stop Worrying
and Love The Bomb

Miss Price, Witch :
Will you give the address to Paul, please. 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
How are we going to get there on this bed ? Fly ? 

Miss Price, Witch :
My dear Professor Browne, with your own 
traveling spell; the one you gave 
with the course as a bonus. 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
My traveling spell ? 
That works, as well ? 

Miss Price, Witch :
Just give The Address, please. 

8 wynchfield road. 

Bed, take us to 8 wynchfield road. 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
Madam ... Is this vehicle safe

Miss Price, Witch :
Oh, perfectly safe. A bit theatrical, perhaps, 
but then, most good spells are


Well, we're here. 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
I would never have believed it. 

Miss Price, Witch :
You must have given us the wrong address. 
You don't live here, do you ? 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
In point of fact, temporarily, at any rate. 
I found the front door open. 
The House was deserted. 
Everyone has left 
the neighbourhood. 

Miss Price, Witch :
Now, why should they do that ? 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
This probably has something to do with it. 
Miss Price, Witch :
Merciful Heavens !
I'd think you'd be terrified at 
the very idea of Living here. 

The Professor, Emelius Browne :
You'd have thought so, wouldn't you. 
I am by nature, little bit of a coward. 
Then I pondered, as I often do --
In the perverse nature of things, 
this diabolical object is probably
The best friend I've ever had. 
It enables me, for the first time 
in My Life, to live like A King. 
Shall we go in ?
