CHARMED A NEW DESTINY

EPISODE 11: TRIAL BY MAGIC

[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Payson and Piper are there making breakfast. Paige rushes in.]

Paige: Okay, move it or lose it, people, coming through.

(Paige takes Payson's coffee cup from her.)

Payson: Hey, I was using that. (She looks up and the cup floats out of Paige's grip.) Oops. (Paige grabs the cup again and pours some coffee in the cup.)

Paige: Yeah, well, I'm late and I need caffeine, so sue me.

Payson: Two weeks of jury duty and suddenly she's lawyer.

Paige: Now, normally I would have a way to come back for that, but I am too tired.

Piper: I'd be tired too if I had to decide whether or not someone lived or died. What's your decision?

Paige: Piper, you know I can't talk about the case. Besides, that's not why I can't sleep. I can't sleep.

Piper: Payson can't sleep either.

Payson: I miss Cole too much. If he doesn't come home soon, I'm gonna turn into a vampire. But I'm sure that's not why Paige can't sleep.

Paige: Jokes like that in this house, not so funny. I can't sleep because I keep having that weird Phoebe dream.

Piper: Not so funny. So, when do you think he's gonna come back?

Payson: Who knows? He said he needed some time to find himself and figure out who he was without his demon side.

Paige: Hello, sisters, Phoebe dream! Wait, what does that mean? He's off banging on drums in the woods somewhere?

Payson: God, I hope not. Anyway. (She looks at Paige.) Phoebe dream? Did you talk to Leo?

Paige: No, I haven't had time. Speaking of... (She looks at her watch.) Ugh, got to go. (She leaves the kitchen.)

Piper: Wait! (Payson and Piper follow her out.) Who's testifying today?

Paige: Nobody, it's closing argument.

Piper: Already? That was fast.

Paige: Oh, no, not you too.

Piper: Oh, Paige, it's only natural to be curious.

Paige: Forget it.

Payson: Listen, nobody keeps secrets better than us. We are the mistresses of secrets.

Piper: Well...sort of.

Paige: Well, let's just say it would be my supreme pleasure to send that murdering bastard straight to hell. By legal means, not magical.

(Paige heads for the front door.)

Payson: You might be the first person who enjoys jury duty.

Paige: You know what it is? It's just, it might be nice for a change to get some kudos from vanquishing the bad guy. I mean punishing... you know what I mean. (She grabs her bag and opens the door.) Okay.

(Glen walks onto the porch.)

Glen: Hey. Paige rushes over and hugs him.)

Paige: It's so good to see you. What are you doing here?

Glen: I'm done with Australia finally and I'm actually thinking about Nepal, and I just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing.

Paige: It's so great to see you. (Payson and Piper clear their throats.) Oh, these are my sisters, Payson and Piper.

Glen: Of course, of course.

Piper: Hi. (She shakes his hand. Payson smiles.)

Glen: I still can't believe you've got sisters.
