Prue Halliwell quotes from Charmed

Piper

(after trying to copy an exercise video) Uh, I give up. Two weeks and nothing strengthened but my temper.

Prue

Piper, here's the problem. You didn't read the fine print. See, it says right here. $19.95 for the video and twenty grand for the plastic surgeon.

Piper

Yeah. Well it's worked. She's the most desired female in America. What every man wants.

Prue

That woman? Of course men want her. Men are not different from women. We all want what we can't have. Which is why we need to stop thinking about what men want and start thinking about what we want in a man.

Prue

My sisters and I, we have special gifts.

Gifts? What kind of gifts?

Prue

Ones you can't return. Let's just say we come from an interesting kind of family tree.

Prue, your, um, sister's here to see you. She's waiting in your office.

Prue

Which sister?

The one who upon seeing your office, said "Damn, I should go back to college."

Prue

Phoebe.

Prue

Ok, so it's time to shower, shampoo and go kick some Hecate butt.

Phoebe

Did she just say shower?

Piper

She did, didn't she?

Hot water!

Prue

Phoebe, what is it that you saw exactly?

Phoebe

Well, I-I saw the thing being born.

Prue

Did you see Piper?

Phoebe

Yes, I saw her legs.

Prue

Never saw her face?

Phoebe

No.

Piper

Hello, bickering sisters. I'm not pregnant but I am in the room.

I don't know. I mean of all the things I thought you were hiding, this was actually nowhere on the list. Does this mean Piper and Phoebe are...

Prue

Yeah. We inherited our powers from Mom and Grams.

So, when you have kids...

Prue

If they're girls...yes.

Prue

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

Phoebe

...nner!

How do modern women keep their legs warm?

Prue

We drink coffee.

"To work with One's hands is a great gift."

Leo

Well ... "I am a true laborer. I earn that I eat, get that I wear"

"Owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness..."

Prue

Wasn't that fun? Okay, let's go now.

He is a treasure, Piper.

Piper

Why you telling me?

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?

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

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

The Guardian punishes the greedy, so maybe if Clay does something selfless, it'll even the score.

Piper

Good luck...
