CHARMED A NEW DESTINY

EPISODE 17: SAVING PRIVATE LEO

[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Payson, Piper and Cole are there. Payson is sitting at the table with photos spread out in front of her. Paige races in. Piper holds out a plate.]

Piper: Wheatgerm pancakes?

Paige: Ah, bagel.

(She grabs a bagel.)

Piper: Bagel?

Cole: Has anyone seen my deposition papers? I thought they were in this folder with the cream cheese thing.

(He holds up a folder with cream cheese spread over it.)

Paige: Try the one with the jelly stain.

Cole: Okay. (He picks it up.) I got it, thanks. Payson don't forget my law firm's having a party tonight. I wanna show off my new bride.

Payson: If I could finish my work here, that would be great.

Piper: Cole, pancakes?

Cole: Trying to watch my cholesterol.

Piper: How about you, Payson? I know you want some of these.

Payson: No, my stomach is a little weird today.

Paige: Ooh, morning sickness?

Payson: Don't get your hopes up. But while I'm on a roll, you know what I want? I want quiet. I have a very important photoshoot due today and I need these shots to be perfect.

Piper: No pancakes?

Payson: No pancakes. But, shh, with syrup on it would be good.

(Leo orbs in.)

Piper: Oh, Leo, just in time for some delicious wheatgerm pancakes.

Leo: Uh, no, I don't have time. I just came to get my toolbox.

Piper: Alright, you know what? I'm not cooking for you people anymore. From now on you're all on your own. (Piper walks behind Paige. Cole drops some papers. The toaster pops up.)

Paige: My bagel.

(She turns around, bumps into Piper and Piper trips over Cole bending over to get his papers, and she drops the plate of pancakes.)

Piper: Ohh.

Payson: Can everybody please be quiet!

(Smoke rises out of the toaster and sets off the smoke alarm and it beeps.)

Leo: Smoke alarm.

(Leo levitates up to the smoke alarm to try and turn it off. Cole leans next to Payson.)

Cole: You know, you'd get all the quiet you want if we had our own place. (Leo turns off the fire alarm and levitates back to the floor. Cole kisses Payson.) Gotta go. I'm meeting my new personal assistant today. Bye.

Payson: And I am off to quieter pastures.

(She grabs her stuff and leave the kitchen. Leo sighs.)

Piper: Honey, you look tired.

Leo: I've been working double shifts. The Elders have been piling it on me ever since you guys took out the Source.

Paige: What's with the toolbox?

Piper: Leo poses as a heavenly handyman, it's actually how we met.

Paige: Ooh.

Leo: The Elders want me to check out a potential Whitelighter. She's a school teacher about to fall off the path, she needs some inspiration.
