CHARMED A NEW DESTINY

SEASON SIX EPISODE EIGHT: THE SWORD AND THE CITY

[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Paige and Richard walk in, arms around each other.]

Richard: It's looks like they're all asleep. Maybe I should sneak out of here.

Paige: No. Why don't you stay for breakfast? (She turns and faces him.) How do you like your eggs?

Richard: What about your sisters?

Paige: What about them?

(Paige walks backwards and trips over a pair of legs.)

Richard: Whoa!

(Piper and Paige stand up.)

Piper: Oh! Sorry. You okay?

Paige: What are you doing?

Piper: Trying to fix the garbage disposal. What are you doing?

Paige: Messing around.

Piper: Ohh.

Richard: Sorry, I should have told you I was here.

Piper: No, don't be silly. Paige is a big girl, she can hang out all she wants to. Not that she does, a lot, I mean.

Paige: You can stop now.

Piper: Great.

Richard: Hey, you mind if I take a look?

Piper: Sure. Go ahead.

(Piper offers the screwdriver to him, but he doesn't take it.)

Richard: Okay.

(Richard turns on the power and the disposal makes a loud noise.)

Paige: What's wrong with the disposal, anyway?

Piper: Not disposing. Washer not washing, cable not cabling.

Paige: Don't forget the sink upstairs.

Piper: It's next on my list.

Paige: Sounds like fun.

Piper: It's my life, actually, all about fun.

(Richard holds his hand above the sink and the dirty water empties down the drain.)

Richard: There you go, as good as new.

Paige: He's handy to have around.

Piper: Yeah. I thought you didn't use magic anymore.

Richard: Just once in a while, for little things. You want me to fix the washer?

Paige: Yes.

Piper: No.

(Payson walks in.)

Payson: Piper, Paige, I need a little help. (to Richard) Hi, I didn't know you were here.

Richard: Hey, yeah, we got in late last night.

Payson: I see.

Piper: He fixed the garbage disposal.

Payson: Really?

Piper: Mm-hm. Magically.

Payson: Oh? (to Piper) Can you help me out here, please?

Piper: Sure.

(Payson and Piper leave the room.)

Richard: She doesn't like me.

Paige: Oh, that's just how Payson is. So how do you like your eggs? Scrambled or over easy?

[Cut to the dining room. Payson is waiting on a chair. Piper walks in and Payson jumps up.]
