charmed power of four season 3

Bride and Gloom

[Scene: Manor. Phoebe's room. Phoebe is lying on her bed eating popcorn and watching "Kill It Before It Dies".]

Sally Mae: (on TV) Oh, Billy! Please don't leave me alone! Aah!

Billy: (on TV) Guess who?

Sally Mae: Oh! Is it really over?

Billy: Yes, Sally Mae, it is.

Sally Mae: Really and truly?

Billy: I'm here now, and as long as I'm with you, everything's gonna be A-OK.

Sally Mae: Promise?

Billy: Promise.

Sally Mae: You're my hero, Billy.

Billy: And I think you're swell, Sally Mae.

(Billy and Sally Mae go off screen and Cole shimmers in the TV. Phoebe looks closer at the TV.)

Phoebe: Cole?

Cole: Phoebe, hi. Just a little trick I learned from the demon of illusion.

Phoebe: But what...

Cole: Am I doing in here? Uh, I wasn't sure how you'd react. Thought this might be a safer way of letting you know I was back... for good.

[Scene: P4. Prue and Justin walk outside. It's the end of their date.]

Prue: So, um, I had a really good time tonight, Justin.

Justin: Did you? I mean, really? The reason I ask is that you seemed kind of quiet.

Prue: No, it's just that, you know, I've got a lot on my mind with Piper getting married and everything.

Justin: Sure, 'course, if I was the paranoid type, I would be thinking it was because of me.

Prue: Don't be ridiculous.

Justin: So are we still on for lunch tomorrow?

Prue: Yeah, pick me up at 1:00.

Justin: It's a date.

Prue: Okay.

(They kiss awkwardly.)

Justin: Good night.

Prue: Night.

(Justin leaves. Prue walks back inside. A man is watching her near by.)

[Cut inside. Prue walks up to Pandora and Leo who are sitting at the bar.]

Prue: Hey.

(Piper looks at her watch.)

Pandora: Gee, Prue, it's only 9:00 and your date's already over? How very Disney of you.

Prue: Justin has a meeting early in the morning.

Pandora: I see. So did you decide if you're going to invite him to the wedding?

Prue: No, I'm stalling. Oh, you know, he's a nice guy, he's sweet, but he's just so predictable, you know? There's no mystery, no savoir-faire. (Prue puts on some lipstick.) You know, besides, a wedding invite definitely makes a statement.

Leo: That he can tie a bow tie?

Prue: No, that the relationship is serious, you know? That it's going somewhere. All that built-in romance, mingling with the family, hidden tensions.

Leo: All the more reason to have a nice, simple, private wedding.

Pandora: Nice try, mister. Okay, the wedding planner, tomorrow at 11:00, no getting out of it, no orbing out of it, nothing. Don't even try it.
