"Primrose Empath"
Prue: Your couple issues are giving me a headache.
Piper: We have couple issues now?
Prue: (pointing to Leo) Resentment. (pointing to Piper) Denile. Now be nice.

Piper and Leo about to start macking on the couch.
Prue (from upstairs): Not now, I have a headache.

Cole: Phoebe what are you doing here?
Phoebe: I have something to tell you. (Leans in for a kiss) I was always much better at show than tell.
heh. No shit.

And from a couple of days ago on "Sight Unseen":
Prue: I have something for you- so we'll always be prepared. (Hands Piper and Phoebe each a large sack).
Phoebe: These are very big contraceptives.
Prue: They're sneakers. You know, we are always wearing inappropriate foot wear when demons attack.

ETA: Lines from another episode.

Well, I missed most of "Power Outage" but I caught a couple great lines when the sisters were fighting. And funnily enough, I only remember the ones where Piper was yelling at Phoebe. Stupid hag.

Piper: Newsflash! The world does NOT revolve around Phoebe!

Piper: You're such an immature brat.

And then at the end:
Prue: Eww. That's new.
Phoebe: Demon with demon filling.

From today's airing of Power Outage:

Prue: I'm sorry I didn't make it. (Piper walks in.) No, I didn't forget. I loaned my car to someone and obviously... (Piper slams down a plate of food on the table.) they forgot to fill the tank. (to Piper) Keep it down will you? (in the phone) Alright, one more chance is all that I'm asking for. (to Piper) Where's Phoebe?
Piper: The little witch is not home yet.
Prue: (on the phone) No, tomorrow at P3 will not be a problem, okay...
Piper: Actually, excuse me. (She takes the phone off of Prue.) (into the phone) Hi, actually, you know what? It is.

(She hangs up.)

Prue: Okay, alright, do you have any idea who that was?
Piper: I couldn't care less.
Prue: What is your problem?
Piper: You are. Get your own damn club and keep your paws off of mine.
Prue: Okay, whoa, obviously somebody needs a Midol.
Piper: And I am so sick of all your stuff lying around. If you can't put your equipment away, then I will.

(She throws one of Prue's camera lens on the floor. Andras is watching from outside. Another ball of light shoots out of his hand and hits Prue.)

Prue: Ooh, ooh! (Prue looks around and picks up the blender.) Who the hell do you think you are?

(She throws the blender on the floor.)

And Prue Halliwell breaks the Bitch-O-Meter.

I watched Magic Hour yesterday and noticed Piper wrote Handfasting. I always thought it was hand fastENing... which is it?

Ummm *thinks of a quote*

Phoebe: "Go on, Prue. Yell at her."

I think it's from Feats of Clay when Piper casts a spell for Doug.

I always thought she was saying (and writing) 'hand fasting'.

The word is handfasting not fastening.

Ew. "Fastening" sounds like it involved the use of sutures. Gross. Bleck.

Please allow me to introduce Mr. & Mrs. Frankenstein, fastened at the wrists.

Not to stray from hand fasting/fastening, but...one of my favorite Cole lines was on yesterday, in Power Outage. It's in P3, when he's talking to himself, trying to figure out how to break up with Phoebe:

"I'm sorry, but we have to stop seeing each other, okay? Why? Because...because I gotta kill you, that's why. Smooth."

It's just the way he says it that gets me.

from Power Outage:

Leo: Couldn't you make something simpler? You know? Chips and dip?
Piper: [annoyed] Leo, I was chef. I can't make chips and dip.

Sorry, but my favorite Cole line ever was to the Seer in the Fifth Halliwell. It was something like, "I'm trying to be the Source of All Evil and it would help if I didn't have demons waving at me from the dance floor."

Okay, not to inundate you guys with quotes but-
There were a TON of great sisterly moments in "Sleuthing with the Enemy" tonight. So, I'm apologizing now.

The whole exchange with Krell is great, here's some snippets:

Prue: (TKing the demon) You know what? That is an antique!
Piper: (Freezing the demon) Not the clock. We can't afford to keep fixing that thing.
(Walking toward the demon)
Piper: Unless Belthezar can morph, that is definitely not him.
Prue: Alright, that doesn't make sense. How did we get the wrong demon?

Prue: Hey! Do you think you can just unfreeze his head? That way we can ask.
Piper: His head?
Prue: Yeah, his head.
Piper: Why not? (she unfreezes his head)
They both laugh.
Piper: Woah, that's different.
Prue: That's cool.
Bountyhunter: What did you do to me?
Prue: Hi, you know what? You're sorta frozen in midair. Therefore we'll be asking the questions. Kay? Who are you?
Bountyhunter: Someone who's going to butcher you if you don't unfreeze me right now!
Piper: Okay! (Demon goes flying into clock, Prue gasps) What? It was worth it.

Prue: Okay- you start talking or we start the bonus round.
Bountyhunter: I am Krell, a Zotar.
Prue: Hi, I'm Prue, a scorpio. Where's Belthezar?

PIper: So you don't have the power to vanquish him.
Bountyhunter: Obviously not, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to intercept your little calling card, would I?
Piper: Hey you know what? How 'bout next time I just freeze your head and then maybe I can kick you in the-
Prue (eyes wide): ALRIGHT!

Piper: Uh, hi! Could you come here? Over here. Please. We've tried working with demons before. It was a bad idea then and it's definitely a bad idea now.
(The line isn't terribly funny, but Holly Jo's face and delivery is amusing. It's sort of an "I don't care to be part of this scene any longer" face)
Prue: We'll let you know.
Krell: No. You'll let me know NOW! Think fast. Belthezar won't stop trying to kill you. Only the heads of the Charmed Ones will convince the Source to spare him.
Prue, Piper: LEO!!

Piper: I don't understand. How can you not know the Triad is dead? Don't you think that's kind of important? Especially since, oh I don't know, they've been trying to KILL us for the past trwo years?
Leo: We've heard rumors- talk. But that's it- nothing substantiated.
Piper: Well I guess you can substantiate it now, can't you! Geez, have you been sleeping on the job or what?
Prue: So Leo don't mind her, she's just a little cranky.
Piper: Well you know what? I get that way when demons try to kill us.
Prue: Piper- I really don't think that Krell was trying to kill us. Otherwise he would have TRIED by now.
Piper: Oh yeah? Tell that to the dining room table.

Krell: Vanquish him!
Human: Hey, what's going on? Who are you?
Krell: It's a trick, he's in his human form. Throw the potion.
Prue: I don't know Krell. Don't you think he would have picked a better human. Oh, no offensive honey.
Human: None taken.
(Krell grabs the potion and throw it)
Piper: HEY! Easy! (nothing happens) And you call yourself a Zotar? hmph.

Piper: What are we gonna do?
Prue: We're gonna vanquish him.
Piper: We're gonna vanquish Phoebe's boyfriend? That's gonna cause some problems.
Krell: If you hesitiate, he's going to kill us all.
Piper: EXCUSE ME! I'm having a private conversation over here.

Edited because it was entirely too long- seriously. And I wanted to leave an opportunity for others to add some.

DT, your post just stresses how much the show lost when Shannen left. Prue and Piper's chemistry was at its best in Sleuthing.

The Krell freezing scene is one of my favorite Charmed scenes ever.

DPD- I totally agree with you. The chemistry between Prue and Piper was amazing (probably because Shannen and Holly were such close friends to begin with). Phoebe and Piper were starting to have a little more chemistry there for awhile, but not so much anymore and certainly not like it was with Prue and Piper. And poor Paige just sticks out like a sore thumb. She doesn't really seem to mesh with anyone.

And the Krell freezing scene is also one of my favorite moments ever. I had to tape it and watch it like ten times because it kept cracking me up. That's also why I practically recapped the whole damn thing.

Actually I think during late season 4 and all season 5 Paige had some pretty good moments with Piper (We're off to see the wizard, Siren song and The importance of being Phoebe come to mind), these were almost none existent with Phoebe. I miss those this season and I even think that the Piper and Phoebe moments have declined.

ETA to add some of those lines and little moments since this is the thread for it.
WOTSTW:
Piper: Do you want us to lose a sister, because that's exactly what's gonna happen if you blurt it out like that. Besides, we only know that Cole is dealing with demons, not that he is a demon.
Paige: If he looks like a demon and walks like a demon...
Piper: That's ducks, that's not Phoebe's husband. The love of her life, her best friend...
Paige: Alright, I get your point, woman

SS:
Piper: See? This is why we do not summon Darklighters to the house!
Paige: Noted. Now what the hell is going on with your powers, lady?
Piper: I don't know. I think my half-Whitelighter baby thought that fireworks would be prettier than demon guts.
Paige: Okay, we need to teach your also half-witch baby the joys of maiming and killing demons.
(She points at her with the crossbow.)
Piper: Get that thing away from me. (Paige puts it down.) Leo!
Paige: What, are you gonna tell on me now?

And one of my favorite Piper-Paige scenes
TIoBP:
Paige: I can't believe I saw what I just saw.
Piper: Well, believe it 'cause I saw it too.
Paige: How, why is she kissing him?
Piper: I don't know but I say we go back in there and we pull her out by her hair.
Paige: No, no, we can't make a scene. Okay, we need a plan.
Piper: Okay, here it is. We go home, we vomit...
Paige: And?
Piper: That's all I got so far.
Paige: Okay.

hehe. Those were great Maracev. I admit, Paige and Piper do have a some great moments- no where near as many as Piper and Prue though. But I guess that's to be expected since Piper and Paige didn't grow up together. And I'd agree with the Phoebe comment. Actually any good moments with Phoebe are hard to find.

So, pehaps I should ammend my earlier comment to say: "Paige and Piper have some great moments sometimes. But stupid hag Phoebe totally sticks out like a sore thumb now."

I think it's kind of sweet in "Coyote Piper" when Phoebe says, "You look beautiful" to Piper when she is so insecure about her reunion.

Warning, the following post is long, but Coyote Piper is chock full of goodies (the episode does belong to Holly, after all):

After Piper reminds Missy the Priss that they were in classes together:
Missy: Right. Piper. You used to sit in the back of class drawing pictures on your jeans.
Piper: Yes!! Yeah. That--yep, that was me.
(HMC's overeagerness here is great.)

And then, after the transformation:
Prue: No. You stand up to her. You can do it.
SlutPiper: I can?
Prue: Yeah, you can do it.
SlutPiper: Okay. (to Missy) Hey! Bitch! Move the trays yourself!

When SlutPiper calls Prue from the kitchen to entice her back to the Manor:
SlutPiper: I got home and there was a demon in the house! (her eye roll here is classic, like I can't believe I'm saying this shit)...And he had this wild hair, and these intense, bulging eyes!
Holly as SlutPiper's halted, grasping for something delivery is way more entertaining than it has any right to be.

When the Ps are in the alley behind P3 after Prue & Phoebe have unsuccessfully tried a spell to "de-possess" Piper:
SlutPiper: Whaddaya gonna do--hit me with another rhyming couplet?

Even Phoebe has a cute line toward the end, when Prue knocks out SlutPiper:
Phoebe: All right, show's over, people. Just talk amongst yourselves!
The line itself is not so special, but her delivery, with the huge grin, and that nerdy double pointing thing that the stereotypical slick moron will do, is pretty amusing.

Still my fave from the episode is....

Piper: " You aren't the boss of me! "

Prue: " Oh yes I am! "

Loved it!

I love all those, but another classic is:

Piper: What I mean is that I'm this superpowerful witch who's engaged to a whitelighter, saving the world on a daily freaking basis and all this people are going to see is the same pityful looser that still lives at home with her sisters and her unemployed boyfriend.

This episode rocks so much, too bad is pretty much the last Piper centric episode in Season 3 for while or is it until the end?.

C'mon, even her wedding episode was all. about. Prue. ;-)

Topic? In spite of this, she does get all the best lines. None in particular are coming to mind right now but they're out there.

VartanTart wrote:



You know, I have to disagree with this. I think it was Holly acting out how Tara would mockingly imitate Piper's panicky demeanor. I saw the eyeroll as "This whimp Piper would so totally panic like this."

It was, however, as you point out, so entertaining, as are all of Holly's facial contortions.

Oh and Phoebe's "Hope...Dashed." is one of the funniest lines ever.

ITA. Does anyone else find it ironic that one of Phoebe's funniest lines ever is only two words? Perhaps she should take it as her cue to shut the fuck up. Less is more, HAG.

From Wicca Envy:

Astral Rex, to Piper: You're a miserable witch.
Prue, noticing the look on Piper's face: What's the matter?
Piper: I don't know, I feel like calling a shrink for some reason.

Ah, Holly, you could read the yellow pages and I'd tune in.

Not exactly a quote, but I do believe that the absence of great Piper/Paige moments has a lot more to do with the overall "quality" of post S3 writing - still passable in S4, but going downhill ever since. And I can't help observing that in S4, especially at the beginning, we not only had some good sisterly moments, we also had credible relationships - Piper/Leo, Phobe/Cole, but first and foremost between the sisters. Now? We have nymphs and unicorns, and the main sisterly interaction is Phobe and Paige berating Piper for not being eager to have sex with a guy she hardly knows.

From Blinded by the Whitelighter:

Natalie: You need outfits that are loose and move. That means no more braless, strapless, fearless(?) attire.
Prue: Okay, but then I have nothing to wear.

At least they have a sense of humor about their "wardrobe".

Nothing but nothing can top Prue's glee...

Prue: " Piper froze ya! "

Natalie: " What? "

Prue: " Yep! "

That's another great Prue-Piper scene.

From From Fear to Eternity:


Liar. At least about the size part. Next? Same scene.



Since when is Friday in the middle of the week?

My favorite lines of the episode:

From Bride and Gloom:

Piper: I should care about that...but I don't.
It's just so cute when she turns evil.

Cole: Prue has been forced into marrying a warlock.
Phoebe: Figures that bitch would steal Piper's thunder.
Like this bitch has any room to talk.

Phoebe: "Demon! Hi...."
Piper: "Phoebe! no no no no no no!"
- the kicking the Zotar scene from Sleuthing with the enemy

"I love him like a brother but there's a limit of what a man can do and this goes definetely over the limit"
- Darryl and Darryl's soul Valhally of the Dolls

"Hey, yo! NO! we'got a demon to vanquish here!"
- Chris (as everyone else is leaving), My three witches

Humor really is subjective, isn't it? :/

Indeed. And so is quality.

So I had a free afternoon, from Witchstock:

"Previously, on Charmed...." Hehe, that deserved a mention!

Phoebe: But we're handling everything
Grams: Dear. You have Paige stuck in the past and a demonic - blob - roaming the manor. Exactly - how - are you handling things?
Piper: We're still in an adjustment period.

I like snarky Grams and Piper. Almost as good as snarky Grams and Teeth!

Grams: How many times have I told you men are utensils. You use them, wash them and throw them in a drawer until you need them again.

Grams: Chris is much too green to guide my girls.
Chris: What? You know what? You can just stop that right-
Grams: -Uh uh. Quiet.

Leo: Think the girls can fix the timeline and get back here?
Chris shakes his head.

Piper: Those were our potions. (More in the way she said it than the line)

Paige: Hey there Sun God...
Leo: That was a long time ago. Let's just keep that between us, okay?
Chris (in background): Sun God?

A choice Leo observation from The Good, the Bad, & the Cursed:

Victor: So then where are they?
Prue: I don't know. Probably living out their lives in a parallel plane, I guess.
Leo (off Victor's confused look): Don't think about it too much, Victor, it'll just give you a headache.

If that last line isn't a shout-out to any and all of Charmed's viewers, I don't know what is...

Hehe VartanTart- I was thinking the same thing.

Another good line from The Good, The Bad, & The Cursed:

Phoebe: Dad doesn't know Leo's a whitelighter.
Prue & Leo: What?!?
Leo: Piper! He's gonna kill me when he finds out!
Piper: Don't be silly- you're already dead.

I love Holly's delivery on that line. The way it trails off- it's like she can't even be bothered to finish the thought so they shouldn't bother worrying about it.

Heh. A good Prue/Cole ep.

Cole: " I've gotta hold your hand. "

Prue: " This sucks already. "

If that's true, how come she is the only real estate agent in the CharmedVerse? Every time there's propety up for sale a SWA Properties sign is there. That's not continuity. That's stupidity.

I'd say that's successful.

"...then he'll never be the heir to your kingdom, he'll be the heir to their destiny"
Seer, Marry go...

"He is our end"
Crone, Baby's first demon

"You'll have your hands full"
Cleaners, Forget me not

"Sorry king Wyatt, I guess it wasn't mean to be"
Mordreaud, Sword and the City

"Welcome home..."
Wyatt, Chris Crossed

ETA: Yeah, I am in creepy mode this afternoon.

From "Nexus Bitches" (Is There a Woogy in the House?):

Phoebe: I just saved Piper's ass. Where were you?

God...that had to be one of the most bitchiest quotes from the entire series.

From Just Harried...

Phoebe: " I have Celine Dion: Behind The Music. Do you want to watch that? "

Piper: " Do you want to get slapped? "

Sigh... Piper never did slap her.

My favourite from Just Harried was:

Victor: Okay, who brought my ex-wife back from the dead?

I love it in the early seasons when they are possessed because all of their true feelings come out. Think back to wendigo-Piper.

Also from the woogy:

Phoebe: Earthquakes give me the jeebies.
Prue: Would that be the Phoebe Jeebies?
Phoebe: Oh, you know. It’s the comedy stylings of Prue Halliwell.
Piper: You’re the only Halliwell that actually likes earthquakes.
Prue: I don’t like them, but I don’t go running through the house nekid screaming "run for your life" either.
Phoebe: Okay. That is such an exaggeration. I was wearing slippers.

From Just harried (Phoebe and Prue are going to the attic to check the BOS)
Piper: Hold it right there. What's wrong?
Phoebe: Boy bands. There's just too many of them, don't you think?

Ha, Maracev!! Nekid! Shannen said nekid in another episode, and I thought maybe she was joking, but then I caught it again in Woogy...she's not joking, is she?

Also, in Shannen-land, Wendigo is pronounced "Windigo".


Is this foreshadowing of La Milano's dalliance w/Justin Timberlake?

Oh, and back to Woogy. I love it at the beginning when Prue & Piper are teasing Phoebe and Piper repeats how Phoebe pronounced "Wuh-GEE-man" when she was 5. Holly's inflection is very cute.

That one may be in my top ten all time. And it's not just because we are talking about slapping Phoebe here [although, that is part of it], but Holly's delivery of that line is hysterical.

Another one from "Wuh-GEE-man" [I like the way Holly says that too, VartanTart]:
Prue: What else can we do?
Piper: We could not go to the basement. I'd vote for that.

Belchimaera wrote:



Heh. Also, Grams' followup line:
(paraphrased)
Penny: I realize you two have issues. That's what the reception is for.

Hee.

From "Sword and the City"

Mordreaud: Camelot is a legend
Piper: HA!
Mordreud:...but Excalibur is real
Paige: AHA!

I lurves me some Which Prue Is It Innyway?

Piper: This is ridiculous. This is the parent trap with a B cup.

PinkPrue: Is there a problem?
Piper: Aside from you going off and casting a spell that's kept all of our bathrooms busy for the past three hours, nothing.

BluePrue: Houston, we have a problem.
Phoebe: Raging clone hormones?

Plus, it's not a one-liner, but the opening scene with the three girls and the boxing gloves is too cute.

Yeah, they totally looked like they ad-libbed that.

How great was it that today TNT has That 70's episode in the morning and Pre-witched in the afternoon. Two of the best episodes of Charmed, Grams and Teeth in them and Phoebe even manages to be likeable in both.

From That 70's episode:
Penny: It's a perfectly good spell, it moved them through time.
Patty: Yeah... ten seconds.

Those two are so good together.

Little Prue: (to Prue) You're pretty.
Prue: So are you.
Piper: Oh, give me a break. (Holly's delivery cracks me up everytime)



From Pre-witched:

Warlock: Wait, do you think I'm stupid. You got something up your sleeve.
Phoebe: Hello, sleeveless.

Piper: So what is our level of confidence in this plan?
Phoebe: Well, on a scale from one to ten, ten being we whip ass, one being he laughs at us while we're on fire and naked...
Piper: Maybe you should lie to me.

With Phoebe it's always about being naked isn't it? ;)

That 70s Episode
LittlePiper: If you're really family prove it!
Piper: Prove it? How the hell are we supposed to do that?
Prue: Piper!
It's all in the look that Holly has on her face right after that.
