(The Possessor Demon shimmers in the kitchen)
Leo: Who're you?
Possessor Demon: Actually, I'm about to be you. (possesses Leo) (edit) Phoebe: Any idea what this meeting's all about?
Paige: Oh, probably something to do with the kids
Phoebe: Why, did something happen?
Paige: Oh, I'm sure they've gotten kidnapped by the latest demon or something. (edit) Paige: Well, he's fine now, though. You know, we dis-possessed him.
Agent Brody: Wait - you did what?
Paige: Well, we got rid of the demon. We get possessed all the time - it's no big deal. (edit) Piper (after burning the second batch of muffins): Great. Now not only am I exhausted, but I'm starving.
Phoebe: Ooh. I see your "exhausted" and your "starving" and I raise you "bloated". (edit) Piper (about a new whitelighter): Look, we have enough people orbing in and out of here on a daily basis; we don't need another. (She blows up the toaster)
Leo (looks at the toaster): Got it. (He orbs out)
Phoebe (sadly): That was a great toaster. (edit)
