Quotes

 * Prue Halliwell: I really appreciate your concern. You know what I would appreciate even more? Five minutes with your DJ.

....
 * Prue Halliwell: No. Like I said before, I've come to terms with our lack of parental involvement. You know, some people just weren't meant to have the Rockwellian Portrait, the house, the two car garage, the picket fence, the Golden Retriever, and the doting mom and dad.

 * Phoebe Halliwell: What's with the hide-and-go-peek?
 * Piper Halliwell: He's still staring at me.
 * Phoebe Halliwell: Who?
 * Piper Halliwell: That guy at the end of the bar.
 * Phoebe Halliwell: Oh, no, honey, that's not staring. That's flirting.
 * Piper Halliwell: You say tomato...
 * Phoebe Halliwell: No, I say relax-o.

 * Piper Halliwell: Okay... You know what? I don't know what kind of kinky stuff you're into, but there's a club down the street you might be more comfortable in. They've got cages and rubber floors and a three for two special on Fridays.

....
 * Phoebe Halliwell: I'm thinking if you tried it again with a little more oomph, maybe some choreography, and Piper could back you up with some old-school beatbox.
 * Prue Halliwell: Why did I know I would get absolutely no help out of you crazy people?
