[Scene: Hotel. Phoebe's waiting by the elevators. Mr. Corey walks out of one.]
Phoebe: Oh, Mr. Corey.
Mr. Corey: Stay away.
Phoebe: Please, you have got to believe me.
Mr. Corey: You locked me in my room didn't you?
Phoebe: Just for your protection.
Mr. Corey: What do you want? Money? Is that what this is? A shake down?
Phoebe: No, I am trying to save your life for God's sake, listen to me.
Mr. Corey: You're crazy.
Phoebe: If you walk out that door, you're a dead man.
Mr. Corey: (to the doorman) Call security.
Phoebe: Mr. Corey, don't do it! (He walks outside and downstairs just like in Phoebe's premonition.) Watch out! (Phoebe chases after him. He drops his briefcase and a car heads straight for him.) Mr. Corey! (Phoebe runs on the road and pushes him out of the way. The car beeps his horn and drives past them.) That'll be $20. Tip not included.
[Scene: Mark's place. Piper and Mark walk inside.]
Piper: This is your place? It's beautiful.
Mark: Thanks.
(Piper picks up a book.)
Piper: Camus. I'm impressed.
Mark: I wish I had a chance to finish it. Of course I can say that about almost everything, I guess.
Piper: (reading from the book) "I love this world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour where on is weary of prisons and all one craves for is a warm face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart."
Mark: I like that part.
Piper: Me too.
Mark: Listen, if your cop friend comes through, maybe I'll get a chance to ask Camus himself how it turns out. I want you to reach for something. (He points to a small box sitting on top of a bookshelf. Piper reaches up and takes it off the shelf.) Open it.
(They sit down on the couch and Piper opens the box. She pulls out some letters written in Chinese.)
Piper: What are they?
Mark: My grandfather's recipes. My dad translated them when I was born. They've been serving these in my family's restaurant for decades. They're yours.
Piper: But they belong in your family.
Mark: I want you to have them. For everything you've done for me. I just ask one favour, use them for your sisters surprise birthday party.
Piper: Prue doesn't want a party.
Mark: Birthdays are important. I know, I walked out of my last one and it never occurred to me that I wouldn't get another. She may not know it but she needs to celebrate her birthday, we all do. Don't take it for granted.
