And you, you're not La Femme Nikita, you're a Charmed One. Yeah, you don't mind kicking ass when you have to, but otherwise you'd rather be hanging out with your sisters, baking cookies, or knitting booties.
Piper
Knitting booties? Clearly you don't know me at all.
Piper
So you say the club is still successful in this... 'alleged' other reality of yours?
It's not alleged, it's real. And it's... really good.
Piper
Oh yeah, am I a millionaire?
(smiles a bit) No, not that good.
Piper
Well, how pregnant am I, exactly?
Phoebe and I are practising to be your midwives as we speak. We're preparing for the big home birth!
Piper
Home birth, you're nuts, I'd never agree to that, I - I wouldn't give birth unless it was in a hospital-!
Yeah, yeah, you keep saying the same thing in any reality. Hey, who else but a sister would know that?
Piper
(looking tearful] We must be pretty close then, the three of us.
(she nods, also fighting back tears)
Piper
Like Phoebe and I were with Prue...
Yep, close enough to have avenged Prue's death together.
Piper
Did you guys try to vanquish Belthazor ever?
No, but you and Prue almost tried! You guys had a vanquishing potion, right?
Piper
How do you know that...?
Book of Shadows. Also says that it needs a piece of his flesh to make it work.
Piper
(she looks at him, then at Paige) All right then. (takes out a dagger) Let's go hunting.
(Paige, Leo and Piper sneak into the mansion to try and kill Cole. They peer around the corner into the entry hall.)
Piper
No.
(They creep into the entry hall past the stairs.)
(running down the stairs) What are you guys doing here? You have to leave now.
Piper
Where's Cole?
(surprising them) Right here. (he throws an energy ball, sending them crashing against the wall)
No! (she kneels by them while Cole telekinetically draws the vanquishing potion into his hand) What did you do to them?
Exactly what they were gonna do to me. (he and Paige glare at each other)
(taking Piper's wrist) She's still alive. Grab her hand.
I don't know how you got here, Paige. But if it's any consolation, I know exactly where I'm gonna bury you. Right next to yourself.
Grab her hand. (she glares at him and then looks at Phoebe)
(As Phoebe does so, the chandelier shimmers and covers the three of them in a white light. Cole throws another energy ball, but it bounces off the light.)
(standing up) The Power of Three.
(also standing) That's us. Potion! (her powers activated, the potion orbs from Cole's hand to hers) I do hate long goodbyes.
(Paige draws her hand back to throw the potion, but Phoebe grabs her hand at the last minute)
No! (she takes the potion out of Paige's hand)
Phoebe, are you crazy? Throw it before he shimmers out!
She's not gonna throw it. Are you?
(Phoebe holds the potion in her hand and stares Cole down)
We've been through so much together, haven't we? Our love's so strong, nothing can destroy it, not even this. We're meant to be together.
(She throws the potion. Screaming, Cole burns up from the inside and blows up.)
Oh, please, God, tell me I'm back.
Piper
Oh, there you are. Where'd you orb to?
Piper
Yeah. Where you been?
Piper
(grunting) Where have you been? What happened to your clothes?
Time must have continues moving on in this reality, too.
Piper
I beg your pardon?
Piper
She's very happy.
Hi. Oh! Oh, okay. What's the celebration?
I'm just... so happy to be home, that's all!
Piper
You wanted to move out.
I did? God, no. Never! Well, I mean, you know, maybe when I'm married or pregnant or... hopefully both at the same time. We're sisters. We shouldn't split up until we absolutely have to. You know that, right?
Piper
She's rambling.
(sneezes) I'm still here, right?
Piper
Mm-hmm.
I'm telling you, he's gone. For good.
Yeah, that's what we thought last time.
Piper
And the time before that.
This time is different. He straddled two worlds just like I did, but he wasn't invincible there. Cole's not coming back... ever.
Piper
It just seems far too easy. I don't know how I feel about that.
I think you should feel good about it, you know? We don't have to look over our shoulders anymore. It's over.
I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Piper
Let's go.
Piper
What are you doing with that thing?
Well, first I'm going to kill it and then I'm going to stuff it.
Piper
You are not bringing that filthy thing in the house.
Oh, yes I am. Thanksgiving is early this year.
