Piper Halliwell quotes from Charmed

Phoebe

You can't stay down there forever.

Piper

Yes I can.

Phoebe

No you can't, you have a club to run and a husband who can't stand to live without you.

Prue

That's right. And, and two sisters who need you to cook for them and fight evil with them.

Phoebe

Okay, do you want her to come up or do you want her to stay down there?

Phoebe

Oh, she’s such a pretty dog.

Piper

What else did you expect?

Leo

A Doberman? (Prue growls) Easy!

Piper

Honey, watch your orbs.

Piper

Prue, no! No-no-no-no, very bad, Prue. Very, very bad Prue.

Piper

Hi, Cujo, who you growling at?

Leo

Maybe I'd better go check with the Elders, see if they know how to vaquish a banshee.

Phoebe

Wait a minute, don't tell me you're afraid of Prue.

Leo

Yeah!!

Piper

I never imagined anything like this could ever happen to us.

Phoebe

All I know is this can't go on much longer.

Piper

So, what we are gonna do?

Phoebe

Rock paper scissors?

Piper

No way, you already lost.

Phoebe

Two out of three!

Piper

Uh-uh.

Phoebe

This is so humiliating.

Leo

Are you okay?

Piper

Am I okay? Prue is a dog, and Phoebe is a banshee. I am not even in the vicinity of "okay". How did this happen? What am I supposed to do? And, you know, you could have told me about the witches turn into banshees thing a little bit earlier.

Leo

Honey, just try and relax.

Piper

Would you stop telling me to relax! [blows up sewing machine] That was Grams's sewing machine...!

Leo

Well, we don't have time for you to lose it.

Piper

Well, too bad, because I am losing it whether we have time for it or not.

Leo

Listen to me, we have to save Phoebe before she hurts anyone. If she kills just one person, she will stay a banshee forever.

Piper

Okay, could you give me all the bad news at once? Do you have to keep doling it out for dramatic effect?

Leo

We have to find Phoebe.

Piper

How, without Prue to track her?

Leo

We'll find a way. You can do this, Piper.

Piper

No, actually, I can't. See, 'cause Prue and Phoebe are the superwitches, and I just tag along and freeze things, and now I can't even do that right.

Prue

What are you doing?

Piper

I think you've got fleas.

Prue

You know what, that is so not funny, cause I think I do.

Piper

I think you do.

Prue

Okay, you have no idea how hard it was being a dog, okay, I mean, peeing outside, eating everything and anything, and just smelling everything...

Piper

Must have been ruff! No pun intended.

Prue

Aha... aha... Well, at least I got to meet a really cute guy.

Piper

You met a guy?

Prue

Mmhmm...

Piper

As a dog?!

Prue

Mmhmm...

Piper

How?!

Prue

Well, he ran me over.

Piper

We need your help. Phoebe's been turned into a Banshee.

Cole

A Banshee? Huh...that's different.

Piper

Ok, I think we made it. I'm sure we made it. You think we made it?

Prue

I don't know.

Phoebe

I think he would attack by now if we haven't.

Who? Who would attack? Why don't you tell me what's going on?

Phoebe

Because we're busy trying to save your life.

From who?

Prue

Ah, unfortunately, we're not pretty sure.

Piper

That's because Phoebe didn't give us enough time to figure it out.

Phoebe

Well, I didn't have a lot of time. I mean, I can't control how far in the future my premonition takes place. I saw the attack, we kicked butt, what more do you want?

Piper

I'd like to know more about who we're up against.

Prue

Ok, Phoebe, maybe you should check the Book of Shadows, see you can find anything else about this demonic hitman, OK?

Excuse me? Demonic?

Piper

And how to vanquish him, that will be a good thing to know. And do not exined trap with the Cole potion thing. Because the only one we conserve about saving, right now, is ourselves.

Prue

Ah? A, a, a OK...What Cole potion?

Piper

Ah, he told her that he only kills because some demon cast a spell on him. How naive is that?

Prue

I thought that she is all over him.

Piper

Apparently not.

What a hell are you talking about? First you tell me my life is in danger, than you adopt me from my work. Now you talk about demons and witches - who the hell are you people?!

Prue

Look, I know this all sounds incredible, but it doesn't make it any less true. You are a healer, you do good, you saved too many lives or you could save that which they don't want you to save.

They?

Prue

Yes, demons, more specifically, Shax, who is the Source's assassin.

Hold on. I get that. This is a practical joke, right? I bet you have a hidden camera here. My second wife put you up to this? Ah, just like her.

Prue

Ah, OK, Doctor Griffiths, this is anything but...

Piper

What?

Prue

I don't know, I just...felt a chill. Phoebe?

Phoebe

Alright, alright, I am coming.

Prue

Phoebe!

Piper

Phoebe!

Piper

Ah!

Dear God!

Prue

No!

Piper

Prue! Ha! Aah.

What are you?

The end.

Phoebe

Oh, no. Oh, God. Leo! Leo! Hurry, it's bad.

Prue

Oh.

Piper

Ahh, what happened?

Leo

You almost dead, that's what happened.

Piper

Yeah, what else is new?

Prue

Oh, where's Shax?

Phoebe

I tried to use the vanquishing spell on him. But I think I just wounded him, he turned into the wind.

Prue

Maybe the spell needs more than one witch for full effect. Ah, OK, come on.

Piper

Come on, come on, where?

Prue

Let's go find him. So we can finish it off while he still hurt. Look, you just stay here with Griffiths, alright? If Shax comes back, say the spell to fend him off. OK, come on.

Piper

Look at all these interview requests we're getting. Ted Coppell, Time Magazine, Jerry Springer. Sports Illustrated?

Darryl

Yea, they probably want you for the swimsuit edition. Just kidding.

Prue

Alright, this thing has to end now, okay? The media is turning it into a freakin' circus.

Leo

Now you know why the Elders have always been highly concerned about exposure.

Piper

Okey-dokey, now we know.

Piper

We're gonna do talk shows and book signings and movie deals, and then be taken by the C.I.A. and be dissected.

Prue

How can you be joking about this?

Piper

Who's joking?

Prue

Well, I'm not. Alright, I'm scared. And you should be too. Okay, our lives, Piper, everything that we've worked for could be completely destroyed with-with one stupid mistake. Our entire future , our entire destiny could be wiped out just like that.

Phoebe

Piper?

Piper

Prue?

Phoebe

Sweetie, it's four o'clock in the morning, what are you doing? You're bleeding.

Piper

I don't understand why magic can't fix this. And why we can't bring Prue back. It's not like we haven't cheated death before. I don't understand why this time isn't any different.

Phoebe

Because Leo can't heal the dead, Piper. You know that.

Piper

There's other magic, magic that we've used before. It's like the book just deserted us and deserted Prue, and I don't understand why.

Phoebe

We lost our sister. How can we ever understand that? We have tried every magical way to bring her back. But we can't. She's gone. I just thank God that I didn't lose you too. Now, we have to get some rest, Prue will never forgive us if we look bad at her funeral.

Paige

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Phoebe

Thank you. How did you know Prue? From work?

Paige

No. Just from around. You know...

Phoebe

Have we met before?

Paige

No, I don't... I don't think so. Anyway, my condolences.

Phoebe

Thank you. (She shakes Paige's hand -- then gets hit with a powerful premonition: Paige is on a skyscraper rooftop helipad. She screams as she squeezes her eyes shut in fear as the demon Shax gestures and sends a concessive blast toward her to kill her. She stumbles to the floor after her premonition ends.)

Piper

Phoebe!

Leo

Phoebe?

Piper

Are you all right?

Phoebe

I saw him! The demon that killed Prue.

Leo

Shax? What was he doing?

Phoebe

He was killing that girl.

Piper

What girl?

Phoebe

The one who I was just talking to. I gotta go find her!

Leo

Go! Go!

Piper

Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Damnit! This is Prue's funeral for God's sake! Can we at least bury her in peace?! Is that too much to ask?!

Phoebe

I don't see her anywhere.

Leo

Who?

Phoebe

The girl from my preminition.

Leo

Phoebe, you gotta be more careful.

Phoebe

I'm sorry.

Cole

You sure don't recognize her from anywhere?

Phoebe

Well, she did look familiar like I've seen her somewhere before. But somehow, we got to find her before nightfall, or else…

Cole

Honey, what are you doing?

Phoebe

Uh, cleaning.

Cole

But you don't clean. You hate cleaning.

Phoebe

I know. But it's better than falling apart, right?

Leo

Maybe you should just try and focus on a girl, you said she was attacked on a rooftop?

Phoebe

Yeah, one with the helipad. But it wasn't a tall building, although, there were a lot of taller ones around it.

Leo

Okay, so we just need to figure out which building it was before Shax does.

Piper

And do what exactly? You can't defeat Shax, not without the Power of Three.

Phoebe

But you and Prue did.

Piper

That's because Prue was the strongest. Trying to do without her will be suicide.

Phoebe

Maybe so. But I got that premonition today for a reason, Piper. That girl is our innocent. So we have to try and save her.

Piper

Says who?! Why do we have to?

Leo

Piper...

Piper

What? Do you really expect us to keep doing this stuff, after what happened, to keep risking our lives?! Do they?!

Leo

Piper, keep your voice down...

Piper

No, Leo, I won't! I don't want to do this anymore, okay? It's over! You can tell them we buried their precious Charmed Ones when we buried our sister.

Piper

Grams!

Grams

Hello, my darling. How are you?

Piper

How am I? Are you kidding? Do you guys not get the news up there?

Grams

I meant... How are you holding up?

Piper

Not very well. I'm a little...lost. Why didn't you come before when I called after...?

Grams

I couldn't, Piper. I was... busy.

Piper

You were busy?

Grams

I was with Prue.

Piper

Oh, of course you were, that makes sense. Is she okay?

Grams

Your mother and I are helping her through this.

Piper

But how is she?

Grams

I'm not allow to tell you now, just like you're not allow to see her. At least not for a while, anyway.

Piper

Why?

Grams

Because seeing Prue right now, speaking to her, keeps her alive for you. Which keeps you from being able to move on with your life... to continue your destiny.

Piper

What destiny?! Okay, it's over, it's done, Prue is gone, and I...

Grams

I know, sweetie, I know. But if there's one thing you learned over the last three years it's that there's always a reason for everything. Which means, there's a reason for this, too. Your destiny still awaits. Blessed be.
