All language subtitles for Bewitched S05E11 I Dont Want to Be a Toad, I Want to Be a Butterfly

There you are, Tabitha.
You look very pretty.

Now, sweetheart, do you
remember what I told you?

To thank Grandma Stephens for
my birthday surprise. That's right.

But it isn't really my birthday.

It's Grandma Stephens's
early birthday surprise.

Now, what else did I tell you?

Be real polite and don't fly.

Yes. Now, what else? I forget.

We mustn't do any witchcraft.
That's very important.

No witchcraft is very important.

Do you know why these
things are important? Uh-uh.

Well, you see, Grandma
Stephens does not use witchcraft...

and she does not fly.

Oh. She's sick?

Tabitha,

flying doesn't come
naturally to most...

Well, you see, the
difference between us and...

No. No, she's not sick.

Oh. Is Grandpa Stephens
coming to dinner too?

No, sweetie. He had to fly
to Cleveland on business.

I'm glad Grandpa
Stephens could fly.

I mean, he took an airplane.

Oh. Is he sick too?

Tabitha, I realize these things
are hard for you to understand,

but Grandma Stephens
is downstairs right now.

So if you're real good, you
can have two pieces of cake.

Okay? Okay, Mommy.

The dinner was delightful,
Samantha, and so is the cake.

Thank you, Mrs.
Stephens. I'm being good.

- Yes, you are, dear.
- I'm not flying or anything.

Of course you're
not flying, Tabitha.

Anyway, I want to give Tabitha her
birthday present a little in advance.

I get two pieces of cake.

Just a minute, dear.

Because the semester
begins tomorrow.

Semester? What semester?

The nursery school semester.

Surprise. Grandma's paid
Tabitha's tuition at nursery school.

Cake, please.

What a nice surprise.

But, uh, Samantha and I were just
discussing nursery school, and, uh...

And we, um...

We decided to wait until
next year for kindergarten.

- We just don't think
that she's ready.
- Cake, please.

Isn't ready? With her imagination
and hidden talents waiting to bloom?

- Please cake.
- Just a moment, dear.

I know all the arguments, Darrin,
but they point to overprotectiveness.

Our Tabitha is unique.

She is an exceptional child.

All these traits run in
the Stephens's family.

But let's not deny her the
companionship of other children.

No, never. We mustn't do that.

I'm glad you agree.
She is a gifted child,

but we must never let
her think she's different.

And now, dear, let Grandma...

Here's your second
piece of cake.

How-How did that
cake get over here?

Mrs. Stephens, a
gifted child like Tabitha...

just calls upon
her hidden talents.

Oh.

It's good.

Yes, and nursery school is
good too, dear. You'll love it.

They play games, finger
paint, model with clay,

sing songs, read stories...

Sam, how about measles? Thanks,
sweetheart, but not this morning.

I mean as an
excuse for my mother.

Tabitha couldn't go to nursery
school if she had the measles.

Honey, your mother's
already on her way over here.

And I told you, I had a little talk with
Tabitha, and she knows how to behave.

I hate to admit this, but
I don't trust her. Darrin!

Nobody could trust me at that
age, and I wasn't even a witch.

Honey, will you relax.

Now, your mother wants to do
some shopping, but somehow...

I'll get out of it so I
can stay with Tabitha.

Great. But what about tomorrow?

Do me a favor. One
day at a time, please?

Mmm!

Will you try and calm down?

Samantha, you're
not talking to a man.

You're talking to a nerve ending,
and nerve endings can't calm down.

Have a little faith in
me. I'm a witch too.

I know. I know.

And Tabitha Stephens will simply
love Delightful Day Nursery School.

Won't you, Tabitha?
Yes, Mrs. Burch.

Oh, Tabitha,
you're just a peach.

She's just a peach.

They're playing choo-choo
before morning juice.

That's a no-no
at Delightful Day.

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm Tabitha.

Gee, you're little. I'm
not little. You're big.

Hello. I'm Ruth Taylor.

Does your little girl
have any diseases?

Why, no.

Good. My Amy is very
susceptible to everything.

Hello, Mrs. Taylor.
Good morning, Amy.

Hi. All right, children.

Let's say good-bye to our mothers
and go on into the playroom.

Come along. That's it, Tabitha.

Dear. Follow me.

Oh. Mrs. Burch,
where should I stay?

- Stay?
- Stay?

We're going shopping, Samantha.

I decided I'd just sort of stay
here at school, if you don't mind.

- Oh, I'd love
to have you, dear.
- Oh, thank you.

But unfortunately
it's against the rules.

- Oh.
- I understand.

It's difficult to see the
little one fly from the nest.

I'm not supposed to fly.

Her vivid imagination comes
from my side of the family.

Shall we go, Samantha? Oh,
I-I can't possibly leave her now.

Why not? Uh, I haven't
said good-bye yet.

Now, Tabitha, I'm afraid that...

Mommy's gonna have
to leave for a while. Okay.

What some mothers don't realize
is that I'm an expert in my field.

I have found after 27
years that no child...

is essentially different
from any other child.

Now, if-if you want a toy,

you ask Mrs. Burch
and then pick it up.

No zapping, okay? Okay, Mommy.

Yeah. And-And another thing.

All right, dear. There are just so
many ways you can say good-bye,

but the best one is,
"Good-bye, Tabitha.

Good-bye, Mrs. Burch."
Now come along, Samantha.

A little shopping will calm
your nerves. Ah, ah, ah!

Your mommy has made
us all late for game time.

Come along, Tabitha.

All right, children, what
do we do next? Tabitha?

- Play games.
- And why do we play games? Amy?

- Because.
- No.

We play games to win.

My cat eats flowers. Okay.

Amy, Tabitha, Mrs.
Burch is talking.

Did you hear what Mrs.
Burch said? Uh-huh.

"Uh-huh" will never do here.

It's "Yes" or "No, Mrs. Burch."

Yes or no, Mrs. Burch.

We mind our tongues at
Delightful Day Nursery School.

But I warn you, Tabitha,
I've molded all kinds.

All right, class,
get your chairs,

bring them in a circle, and
we'll play musical chairs.

She talks mean. Yeah.

And the blue here is a
genuine copy of a Paris original.

Oh, really? Why don't
you try it on, Samantha?

We're dealing with
a nervous mother.

Her little girl started
nursery school today.

Oh, I understand, Mrs. Stephens.

But there's no better tonic for
nursery school jitters than a new dress.

I'm not nervous. Oh, go
ahead, Samantha. Try it on.

That is a good
idea. I... I'll try it on.

And this one, and this one,
and this one, and this one.

Shopping may be just
what I needed after all.

♪♪

Oh! All right, Steven, sit down.

Now, class, you
have before you...

the two best musical
chairs players.

Soon, we will have just one
best musical chairs player.

Remember, it is not bad
to lose, but it's grand to win.

And the winner will
receive this lollipop.

Which one of you
is going to win?

Me. Me!

All right, let's see. Come on.

Hop up. That's it.

All right, students.

♪♪ Compete.

Psst! Tabitha?

Tabitha! Oop!

Oh, hi. Why, Mrs. Stephens.

And all this time, I thought
you were out shopping.

Oh, I am. I-I mean, I was.

I-I mean, I'm going.
I'm going right now.

Bye. Good-bye.

Samantha, how do they look?

Did you find anything you like?

Samantha?

That's strange.
What's the matter?

Oh, nothing. Not a thing.

I didn't care for any of them.

You didn't? No.

They're just not me.

Could I try five more, please?

Five more?

Better yet, make it 10.

All right, Mother Nature
wants her little forest to form.

Sycamores, mushrooms. Oh, very
good, sycamores and mushrooms.

Uh, Tabitha, you be the bunny.

Robert, you're the butterfly.

Amy, the toad.

I wanna be the butterfly.

We don't argue with Mother
Nature, Amy Catherine Taylor.

- You are the toad.
- But I wanna be the butterfly.

Anyone who spills her juice at
snack time cannot be the butterfly.

If the forest will please excuse me,
Mother Nature is wanted on the phone.

Mrs. Burch speaking.

Don't cry, Amy.

But I wanna be the butterfly.

But toads are nice. I
wanna be the butterfly.

Okay.

Now you won't cry anymore, Amy.

All right, forest.
Let's take our places.

Amy? Where's our little toad?

Shoo! Shoo! Get
out of here! Shoo!

Amy? Amy, I know you're a
good little hider, but come out.

What is it, Tabitha?

Excuse me, Mrs. Burch,
only there she goes.

I see the butterfly, Tabitha,
but I'm looking for a child.

Amy? Amy Catherine Taylor?

Amy, you come out from
where you're hiding this instant.

Because you can't be a
butterfly is no reason to hide.

You're gonna try all these on?

I'm a very thorough
shopper. Thank you.

Her daughter started nursery
school today. Yeah, you told me.

Amy, you are not, I repeat,

you are not allowed
to vanish into thin air...

at Delightful Day
Nursery School.

Amy, you're a good hider,
but ollie, ollie, oxen free!

Psst! Tabitha!

All right, now, I've
just had enough of this.

Amy, where are you?

Tabitha, did something
happen to Amy? She was crying.

Oh. Why?

Mrs. Burch wouldn't
let her be a butterfly.

- And?
- I let her be a butterfly.

Tabitha, you didn't!

You did.

I hate people to cry, Mommy.

Oh. Now sweetheart, I know you
thought you were doing a good thing,

but people don't
understand our kind of help.

- Where's Amy now?
- She's up in that tree.

Are you sure?

That's where I saw her flew.

- Fly.
- No, she flew.

O-Okay. Okay, flew.

But she's too far away for you
to change her back. I'll go get her.

Okay, Mommy.

Is this one of those things
that's called a problem?

Not exactly, sweetheart.

This is one of those things
that's called a catastrophe.

Amy? Amy?

Yoo-hoo? I'm Tabitha's mommy.

You remember me? You
saw me in the office earlier.

Oh! Amy,

be a good girl and
come to Samantha.

Uh, excuse me, lady.

I'm not gonna ask you,
um, how you got up there.

I'm gonna ask you
why you're up there.

Oh. I'm trying to
catch my butterfly.

That's a straightforward answer.

Now I'm gonna ask you
how you got up there.

I used to live in the woods.
I just love to climb trees.

And I suppose you hung
around with Smokey the Bear too.

Really, it's very important
that I catch my butterfly.

And the butterfly's name is Amy?

Yes, Amy. Amy the butterfly.

Cute. Now, would you do me a
favor, lady? Will you get out of my tree?

Really, mister, Amy's
a very rare butterfly.

There might even be a
reward for her capture.

A-A reward? For the butterfly?

Amy the butterfly, come on
down. Come on. Daddy loves you.

Come on. Come
out of the tree. Yes.

Ooh! There she goes!

You keep an eye on
her. I'll get my binoculars.

If she's on this
planet, my binocu...

There's something
weird about that dame.

All right, Amy.

You come out, and you
come out right this instant.

I've had enough of
this willful disobedience.

We run a tight ship here,
and this is insubordination.

And you'll be severely
punished. Mrs. Burch?

What is it, Tabitha? Amy's
up in the tree with my mommy.

Thank you, Tabitha. I
needed that bit of information.

Amy Catherine Taylor?

Oh, why, Mrs. Taylor.

School won't be
out for 20 minutes.

I came early, and it
appears it's a good thing I did.

Well, we were playing forest,
and Amy resented being a toad.

Uh... Mrs. Burch?

You're not going to tell me that Amy's
up in the tree with your mother again?

No, ma'am. She flew away.

Oh. Thank you, Tabitha.

Mrs. Taylor, come out into the
office and I'll explain everything.

That's kind of weird, Harve.
A butterfly way up here?

Well, they got
wings, don't they?

You got anything to trade
for a liverwurst on wheat?

Get your hands out of there, you thieving,
no-good... Watch your language, Benny.

There's a lady present.

Oh, excuse me, ma'am.

Don't let me interrupt
your lunch, gentlemen.

All right, Amy,
you stay right there.

I think you've caused
enough commotion for one day.

You be a good little butterfly.

There!

Aren't we having lovely weather?

You still haven't answered
my question, Benny.

You got anything to trade
for liverwurst? Sure, sure.

I understand
about playing forest.

I understand why you wanted to make
my Amy a toad instead of a butterfly.

But the fact is that
my child is still missing.

But I've never lost a child
in all my years as a teacher.

And you start by losing mine.
Look, somehow I'll make it up to you.

I'm calling the police.

Psst! Tabitha. Come here.

Hi, Mommy. Is that Amy?

Yes. Now, we haven't got
much time. Where's Mrs. Burch?

She's in the other room
getting yelled at by Amy's mom.

All right, sweetheart.
Now, come on, Amy.

You change her
back to regular, okay?

Okay, Mommy.

Hey, that was neat!

Amy, your mom's
probably worried about you.

It can't be kidnapping,
Officer. The lady is still here.

I'm telling you that my... Amy!

Oh! Mama, I was a butterfly!

I flew out the window
and got into a tree...

and flew onto a tall building.

Then Tabitha's mommy
caught me in a net.

Well, at least you haven't
subverted her creativity.

Come along, Amy.

Samantha, I knew you'd be
here. Oh, hello, Mrs. Burch.

I'm afraid Mrs. Burch
has had a rather trying day.

Shall-Shall we leave? Well, I
will say I'm a little confused myself.

Here. You left your coat
in the dress shop. Oh, yes.

Thank you. I was
in such a hurry.

Samantha, something's
been bothering me.

- Really?
- Yes.

How did you get out of that
dress shop without my seeing you?

Well,

a determined, anxious
mother can always find a way.

Come on.

Good-bye, Mrs. Birch.

Samantha? Honey?

Hi, sweetheart. Hi, darling.

Sit down. I'll fix you a drink.
You mean I'll need one?

No. Oh.

Well, how'd it go today?

Fine. How'd
everything go with you?

Come on, Sam. Tell me
about Tabitha's nursery school.

Oh. Well, it's a
small building, and...

I don't care about the
building. What happened?

Nothing. Here's your drink.

- Nothing happened?
- Well, next to nothing.

Sam, may we delve a little more
deeply into what "next to nothing" means?

Well, let me put it
simply, sweetheart.

You don't have to worry about
Tabitha in nursery school anymore.

Why not?

The school's closing. Did
I put enough ice in that?

Why is the school closing?

Mrs. Burch, Tabitha's
teacher, she's taking a vacation.

After one day?

She wants to avoid
a nervous breakdown.

I have a growing suspicion that
you should make this into a double.

Oh, sure, sweetheart.

Exactly, uh, what would
make a teacher so nervous?

Well, one of the children
flew out the window.

You know how that can be.

No, I don't know how that can
be, Sam. Tell me how that can be.

Well,

she was accidentally
turned into a butterfly.

Make it a triple.

Uh, but after she was
turned into a butterfly,

it was simply a matter of, uh,
getting Tabitha to change her back...

after I got her off
the skyscraper.

Make it a quadruple, Sam. And
finish the story after I pass out.
