Quotes 

• Prue Halliwell : Hannah, why are you always such a bitch to me?

  Hannah Webster : Because it's my mission in life to destroy you.

• Piper Halliwell : You cast a Truth Spell?

  Prue Halliwell : Yes. Look, please, no more questions.

  Piper Halliwell : Why?

  Prue Halliwell : I wanted to know what Andy would think of me if he found out I was a witch.

  Piper Halliwell : Oh.

  Phoebe Halliwell : I can't believe it.

  Prue Halliwell : Oh, look who's talking, little Miss Spell-of-the-Week.

  Phoebe Halliwell : No, no. I mean, I can't believe you actually took my advice. The biggest pooper at the wicca party has finally used her power for personal gain. It's about time.

  Piper Halliwell : Personal? It's affecting us. Prue, what have you done?

  Prue Halliwell : The spell was only supposed to work on me. It said those in this house. I thought I was alone.

  Piper Halliwell : Well, obviously, you weren't.

  Piper Halliwell : Wait! We have to undo it right now, fast.

  Prue Halliwell : Can't. Twenty-four-hour time limit, which means until eight o'clock tonight, everybody who comes into contact with us will have no choice but to speak the truth.

  Piper Halliwell : What do you mean no choice?

  Prue Halliwell : Exactly that. Ask me a question.

  Phoebe Halliwell : I'm game. Prue, what do you think of me?

  Prue Halliwell : While I admire your confidence and your fearlessness, your utter lack of responsibility frustrates me to no end. Oh God, that is so enough.

  Piper Halliwell : Oh, my God. This could be very dangerous.

• Phoebe Halliwell : I'm kinda digging it. Piper, what do you really think of your boss?

  Piper Halliwell : I think he's a self-serving jerk who must have a very small penis. Oh, my God! I'm gonna be so fired!

  Piper Halliwell : Oh, my god! I'm gonna be so fired!

  Prue Halliwell : No, no, no. It's ok because once the spell ends, no one will remember what they've heard. You guys, I just wanted to see how Andy would react.

  Phoebe Halliwell : What a way to come out of the broom closet!

• Prue Halliwell : What do you want with her?

  Gavin : She's hiding the woman I was sent back to kill.

  Prue Halliwell : Sent back from where?

  Gavin : The future. What are you doing...

  Prue Halliwell : Why kill Tanya?

  Gavin : I don't want Tanya. I want... what's inside her. No!

  Prue Halliwell : And the others, why kill them?

  Gavin : They were all... pieces of the puzzle... pieces of the vaccine. Stop this!

• Prue Halliwell : Andy, no. Look, if I come inside, we'll have drinks, there'll be small talk, and precious minutes will pass. I need to know now. Can you or can you not accept that I'm a witch?

  Inspector Andy Trudeau : If I have to answer right now I don't think so, Prue. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, I guess. It's just not a future I envision having.

• Inspector Andy Trudeau : Can you change? I mean, is it something you can get rid of?

  Prue Halliwell : No, Andy, I can't change who I am, and that's something I've recently come to accept. The question is, can you?

  Inspector Andy Trudeau : To tell you the truth, I don't know, Prue. I honestly don't know.

• Hannah Webster : Oh, look... last turkey-no-mayo. My favorite.

  Tanya Parker : Actually, I was saving that for Prue.

  Hannah Webster : Yeah, you were.

  Prue Halliwell : Don't you hate turkey?

  Hannah Webster : Of course I do. I just don't want you to have it.

  Prue Halliwell : Is there any particular reason why you're such a bitch to me?

  Hannah Webster : Yes. Because it's my mission in life to destroy you.

  Rex Buckland : Well, uh, nothing like a bit of inter-office rivalry to get those competitive juices flowing. Um, Hannah, a word.

• Piper Halliwell : Ask it what a day off feels like. That was my boss, Martin. I have to get back to the restaurant.

  Prue Halliwell : You're kidding!

  Piper Halliwell : There's a convention in town and business is just crazy.

  Phoebe Halliwell : But you worked a double shift yesterday and the day before that. He's working you to death, Piper.

  Prue Halliwell : I thought you were gonna talk to Martin about this weeks ago.

  Piper Halliwell : I never got around to it.

  Phoebe Halliwell : Yeah, well, tell him to stuff it. Tell him you're taking the night off and that's that.

  Piper Halliwell : I know. You're right. I will. Hello, Martin? No, I know what you want, but... Okay. No, it's not a problem. I'll be right there.

  Prue Halliwell : Wow. You told him.

  Phoebe Halliwell : Beware the wrath of Piper.

• Phoebe Halliwell : So what are waiting for? Tell him the truth. It's the only thing standing between you guys.

  Prue Halliwell : Tell him that I'm a witch? I can't do that. What if he can't handle it? It's not like I can put the genie back in the bottle.

  Phoebe Halliwell : He's not gonna turn you in to the warlock police. At least you'd know how he feels once and for all. Otherwise, you'll never know if it could've worked out or not. If I were you, I would figure out a way to tell him.

• Gavin : You can't hide from me forever.

  Prue Halliwell : What's the vaccine for? What does it protect against?

  Gavin : Against me, of course and all other warlocks like me in the future. The Parker child will be the one to bring together all the elements to create the vaccine which will destroy us.
