PiperYeah, sure, why not? We could have another funeral tomorrow. I mean, all the dishes are out, and we pretty much know who to invite.
Piper
Just tell me one thing. Are you insane or are you just plain stupid? We bury Prue this morning and you go off tonight and nearly join her. What the hell is the matter with you?!
I was trying to save the innocent.
Piper
No. You were trying to get yourself killed, which is what this family does best is get killed. Isn't it obvious by now that our only destiny is to die? And you are making it way too easy for them, Phoebe. You are just walking right into it!
Piper
I can not handle anything right now and I certainly cannot handle losing another sister.
(finding out that there is a possibility that the Charmed Ones can be reconstituted following Prue's death, Piper furiously marches up to the attic)
Piper
I'm going to ask Grams what's going on, actually.
Piper
Mm-hmm! Your destiny still awaits, she says. There's a reason for everything, she says. So now it's time to summon her transparent butt back here and find out exactly what that reason is!
Piper
(tensely reciting the spell, interrupting Phoebe loudly) Hear these words, hear my cry, spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee, (angrily) cross now the Great DIVIDE!
Piper, why are you calling? Phoebe? What's going on?
It's kind of hard to heal myself when I'm knocked out.
Leo, how is possible for an angel to even get knocked out? I mean, you are, after all, technically dead.
Three years together, and now you're asking these questions?
Piper
I think the more appropriate question is, how does a whitelighter get somebody knocked UP? (Phoebe lets out a giggle)
What's that supposed to mean?
Piper
What do you think it means?
If it's about Paige, I swear, the Elders had no idea that she even existed, or that she was your sister.
Piper
Half-witch, half-whitelighter. Let's not forget that little surprise. (She helps Leo with the ice pack). I still can't believe that Mom kept that secret from us.
Well, it sounded like she didn't have much of a choice.
Piper
We're her daughters. She could've found a way to share that information with us. (The doorbell rings) That better not be another long-lost relative.
Piper
Okay, turn left up here. And can you step on the gas a little?
(makes a sharp turn and almost collides with a taxi cab.)
Off the gas! Off the gas!
Does somebody else want to drive here?
Piper
Evil got the Book of Shadows. How did evil get the Book of Shadows?
Piper
Oh no, Phoebe? Evil got the Book of Shadows, 'oh no' doesn't quite cover it.
Let me go see what I can find out... (stopped by Phoebe)
No, wait... Uh, Piper? Promise me you're not gonna over-react.
Piper
Is that even possible?
I think that, uh, maybe... (gulps) well, it might-might be feasible that, uh, (takes in a deep breath) Paige... borrowed the book.
Piper
What? Why-why... why... Why would you think that?!
See, now, this is what I meant by over-reacting, it's just that I...
You let Paige take the Book of Shadows out of the manor.
Well, no, I did not let her! It's just she left pretty quick and... it looks like she might've... (points to the open attic window)
Piper
Out of the window?!
Piper
Phoebe, why would you even leave her alone with it?!
Well, because she's our sister.
Piper
(chuckles, then stops abruptly) Not for long! (stalks out)
(Phoebe follows Piper out of the door, only to return again to Cole, who is sitting on a chair)
To vanquish your sister? (scoffs lightly) I think I'll sit this one out.
(Phoebe leaves while Cole twiddles his thumbs.)
Piper
What happened?!
I don't know, they just... grew.
Piper
(as Phoebe scoffs) Oh, right, and-and you had nothing to do with that.
One... (reluctantly after a pause) Five...
Piper
Five?!
Okay, what did you do just before you turned into Betty Boop?
Tell her, Piper. It's all right to hate her.
(Piper shakes her head once and turns to leave, angrily pulling against chained doors.)
You should hate her. When my parents died, I hated them. I was alone, and I hated them. It is okay to hate Prue!
Piper
(seemingly to Paige) How dare you! (suddenly turns and begins to beat her hands against Prue's gravestone) How dare you leave me! How could you go and die and leave me here all alone, please come back! I need you, please come back... (breaks down sobbing while turning back human)
It's okay, it's gonna be okay, honey.
Piper
It's not 'okay', she risked her life every day and she never thought about what would happen to me and Phoebe if she was gone.
Piper
How could she think... that I could live without her?
