"Hello there darling... Shh... Don't panic... I don't need you screaming and alerting anyone nearby..."

"It's nothing personal, but, you are in my way... Or, will be in my way if I let you stay like this, according to my crystal ball."

"I am a witch, and to solve my little problem, I'm not going to kill you... But I am going to transform you into an inanimate object."

"I will even be nice about it. I will let you decide what you will become. A mannequin? Some clothing? Jewelry? Choose now."
