Phoebe Halliwell quotes from Charmed

Prue

I'm about to tell my boyfriend that I'm a wi...

Phoebe

...nner!

Piper

Am I the only one having second thoughts?

Phoebe

Yes.

Prue

We don't really have any others options.

Piper

But aren't we, like, raising the dead? What if she's all..

Phoebe

I read The Book of Shadows very carefully. She will come back as a real live person, flesh and blood. She will have her powers too, our powers. (Phoebe picks up a knife.)

Piper

What's that for?

Phoebe

Well, the spell works by blood calling blood, so it shouldn't hurt.. much. (Phoebe cuts her finger.) I lied, I lied. Okay, come on guys. It'll be just like the summer by the lake. Remember when we made a blood oath to be friends forever, not just sisters? (Prue takes the knife.)

Piper

I remember my finger got infected.

Prue

(Prue cuts her finger.) Ow. Yeah, but the oath worked.

Piper

And I couldn't go in the water for three weeks. (Prue holds out the knife.) Don't hand me that knife.

Prue

How are you gonna cut yourself?

Piper

I'm not.

Phoebe

Piper.

Piper

I can't stand the sight of blood.

Prue

Evil beings have blown up in our attic..

Phoebe

..Disintegrated to dust right before our very eyes..

Prue

And you're afraid of a little drop of blood?

No, don’t...don’t rip the dress to make it fit me.

Phoebe

Oh, no, no, I’m not ripping it. It’s called a zipper, see?(Phoebe zips up the dress)

Oh, a wise witch made this.(Melinda takes the dress off of Phoebe and plays with the zipper)

Phoebe

Yeah, and wise witches in this century keep a low profile. You slip this dress on, you’ll blend right in.

Phoebe

You've never asked a guy out before?

Piper

Not on a real date, no

Phoebe

I don't understand. Am I the only person in this family who's inherited the 'take a chance' gene?

Piper

Probably, 'cause if I remember my biology correctly it's attached to the 'can't mind my own business' gene.

Prue

Somebody must have manipulated me into taking it.

Phoebe

The same way someone manipulated me into being a witness against my own sister!

Darryl

Any idea about what they're talking about?

Not a clue.

Phoebe

Between you and Leo, and Prue the new-hot-Wicca woman, and me, soon to be employed, things are looking up.

Piper

Don't say that! The moment somebody says that everything always goes south!

Phoebe

Unless you freeze him. Ooh! I couldn't help it, it was so good!

Phoebe

Prue was right about Rex, which means I'm dating a warlock!

Piper

Been there, done that!

Phoebe

Problems?

Prue

What problems?

Piper

Well, it's been a while since, you know, I-I was a little nervous, and I kinda kept freezing him.

Prue

Piper, you didn't?

Piper

I didn't mean to...the first time.

Phoebe

Oh!

Piper

I thought you guys were supposed to be shopping.

Prue

Obviously.

Prue

Ooh, serious business.

Piper

(pulls her shirt closed) Do you mind?

Phoebe

No, are you kidding? I think it's great -- as long as he's not still on the clock.

Phoebe

But why all the drama? Why didn't you just kill us and take our powers?

Piper

Don't give him any ideas.

No, no, no. I have seen exactly what you can do when you've been confronted directly. That's why I opted for blackmail. See, there is a special spell in the Book of Shadows that strips you of your powers forever. (He shows them the device that looks like a lantern) And this device will capture those powers. Then you'll bring them to me.

Prue

Go to hell.

Yeah, I'd love to, darling. I miss it terribly. And this will help me return with honours. In return, I'll give you the photo and tell the police I simply misplaced the tiara. No theft, no motive for murder, no prison. You really don't have much time. Just until the prison guards realize you've escaped. Well?

Prue

Seasons change, people don't...

Phoebe

I changed. Do you remember what you thought of me before I walked back through that door?

Prue

That's different.

Phoebe

How is that different?

Prue

You're my sister.

Phoebe

Don't take this the wrong way, but why are you here, with me, now?

What, can't a guy visit?

Phoebe

Yeah, but you're not just a guy, you're Clay, and Clay comes with strings attached.

Piper

Handle. Handle. I don't think I got a handle. Wait, there's a long wooden spoon in the back.

Phoebe

(talking to Prue) That's not gonna work. She's looking for a long wooden spoon.

Piper

Oh, my God, that's a lot of blood.

Prue

Hey, sweetie.

Phoebe

Oh, my God! Are you okay?

Piper

Yeah, I'm fine. If I pass out and I need a transfusion, I'm AB negative. It's very rare. It could be a problem.

Try not to look at it. And just so you know, I'm AB negative too. Plus, I love good food. Perfect donor.

Piper

Nothing. This is just the same crap I've already seen.

Prue

I tried Andy's cell phone, no answer.

Phoebe

We can't find anything about revearsing the Wendigo thing.

Prue

Well, there's got to be something. Oh, didn't you check this at the bottom of the page? "c.f. Desiderata."

Phoebe

Yeah, like we're supposed to know what that means.

Prue

Well, it means "conferred desiderata." It's Latin for "look up things that are yearned for."

Piper

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so very smart.

Prue

Piper.

Piper

Don't Piper me. Just shut up!
