Quotes[]
- Cole: I don't know if sending your sisters away was a good idea. I don't have powers anymore, and I can't protect you if there's an attack.
- Phoebe: Well, my sisters are in calling range, and more importantly, I'm in kissing range.
- Piper: Great, well, I say the only good Source is a dead Source.
- Paige: Who's going to kill us?
- Piper: No one.
- Paige: That's new.
- Paige: Who's attacking us?
- Piper: No one.
- Paige: Right on, I get the weekend off.
- Piper: See now that is the spirit.
- Piper: Cole, you're struggling, right? Trying to figure out how to be this new person.
- Cole: I thought we were here to talk about warlocks.
- Leo: No.
- Piper: What you don't get is that Phoebe is trying to do the exact same thing. She's always been the youngest sister, the eternal child. Carefree, fun loving.
- Cole: And?
- Leo: And in a minute, she lost Prue, discovered Paige, and became the middle sister.
- Piper: And to top it all off, you propose. The idea of marriage, being that much of a grownup, is terrifying to Phoebe.
- Cole: Did she say that?
- Piper: No, she didn't have to, I'm her big sister, I've known her only, oh, her whole life.
