Winifred: Oh, look. Another glorious morning. Makes me sick!
Winifred: You know, I've always wanted a child. And now I think I'll have one on toast!
Emily: Thackery Binx, what took thee so long?
Thackery Binx: I'm sorry, Emily. I had to wait three hundred years for a virgin to light a candle.
Billy Butcherson: Go to hell!
Winifred: Oh! I've been there, thank you. I found it quite lovely.
Chosen answer: Binx had accepted his fate of being a cat forever so instead, he decided to stop the candle from being lit. It was only near the end of the film that he saw the death of the witches broke his curse.
