charmed power of four season 3

the demon who came in from the cold

[Scene: P4. Prue,Pandora Piper and Leo are standing around the bar. Phoebe walks up to them.]

Phoebe: I don't think we're gonna be able to pull this off.

Leo: We have to.

Prue: We've been in tighter jams than this before.

Phoebe: But we're running out of time, I don't think we're gonna make it.

Prue: Phoebe, we can do this, okay? I mean, if we just get a quick bite to eat at Red's, we can still make the 9:30 Faithless at the Avalon.

Leo: The foreign film? I thought we were gonna go see a thriller.

Phoebe: No, Leo, I wanna stop thinking about Cole and his demon dodging, not be reminded of it.

Leo: Pandora?

Phoebe: Leo, it is three votes for Faithless and Pandora never cares what we watch.

Piper: Well, a thriller would be okay.

Prue: Okay, wait a second, the vote's two against two?

Phoebe: That's new.

Pandora: Welcome to the power of five.

Phoebe: I demand a recount. Wait, that never works.

(Piper laughs. Cole comes down the stairs.)

Leo: Something tells me you're not gonna wanna see either movie now.

(Phoebe goes over to Cole.)

Phoebe: Hey.

Cole: Hey.

(She hugs him.)

Phoebe: I was so worried.

Cole: I know, I'm sorry. I couldn't come back until it was safe.

Phoebe: Is it safe now?

Cole: I think so. For the moment.

(She kisses him and they walk over to Prue, Pandora, Piper and Leo.)

Prue: Hey, welcome back.

Cole: Thanks. Glad to be back.

Pandora: Love to chat but we're late for a movie.

Leo: Wanna go? We could use the tie breaker.

Cole: Actually, I was hoping Phoebe and I could catch up, alone.

Phoebe: Works for me. Chao!

(They leave.)

Pandora: Look at Phoebe and Cole trying to be a normal couple.

Leo: You know what that means.

Prue: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna go see the thrillers. As if we don't have enough scary bad guys in our real life.

[Cut to outside. Phoebe and Cole are walking down the street.]

Phoebe: I was starting to worry that you weren't gonna make it back in time for my graduation.

Cole: Wouldn't miss that for the world, or the underworld.

Phoebe: It's really not safe for you here, isn't it?

Cole: Uh, no, yeah, it is. I mean, at least I think so.

Phoebe: Then what's wrong?

Cole: The truth is I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.

Phoebe: Doing what?

Cole: You know, the running, and the hiding. Even if I stop, where do I go? I'm still half human, but I can't go back. On the other hand there's really no place for me in your world either.
