Quotes

add »
(Paige and Henry are on a romantic date, Paige is about to tell Henry her secret)
Paige: Have you ever wondered about the kind of...strange things that happen... with me and kind of... since you've known me? (Henry nods) Like, why was I there, trying to help your parolee? How did I find that baby's father so quickly?
Henry: And you got that guy to tell the truth.
Paige: How did you get shot and miraculously survived? And even little things like today...finding your keys, and your wallet, and then there's that winning the ten thousand dollars thing which you should probably give to charity 'cause that... you know…
Henry: Ok, ok. What'd you trying to tell me, Paige?
Paige: Do you believe in magic?
Henry: I don’t know. I don’t think about it much. Why?
Paige: I think it's time that you did. Lights!
(Magical lights appear and move around their heads)
Paige: I'm doing that right now.
Henry: How?
Paige: I'm a witch. I have powers. Ah, I can make these kind of things happen. I'm not the kind of witch that rides around broomsticks or the hat or, with the little black cat that sort of thing... um... I use my powers for good. I help people. (as he looks at her strangely) And this is not going well, and I can see how completely scared off you are from me. The door's right there, it won't hurt my feelings. (She turns her head away in frustration)
Henry: Paige.
Paige: What?
Henry: Look at me.
(She looks at him)
Henry: I'm not afraid.
(She looks at him surprised, they kiss under the lights) (edit)
(After discovering Savard is dead, the demons go straight to the shrunken sisters in the dollhouse to kill them)
Phoebe: Ok. If Billie doesn't show up in like 2 seconds, we're doll parts.
Piper: Hang on. There might be another way.
Paige: Talk fast!
Piper: Well, our individual powers are diminished, but not the power of three. Obviously they're using it.
Phoebe: Talk faster!
Piper: Well, if we can get them to stop channeling us and use their demonic powers, then we can get the power of three back, you know?
Phoebe: Theoretically speaking, right?
Piper: All we got are theories.
Pilar (raises her hands to blow up the dollhouse): This...is for Savard.
Piper: Hey, hey. Hang on a second. What'd you do... what... you're gonna kill me with my own power? What're you kiddin' me? How insulting, let alone boring! (edit)
Piper: Oh no, no, no. Don’t tell me we're stuck in the dollhouse.
Phoebe: Yeah. That seems to be an annual event for you! (edit)
(The Halliwell sisters are miniaturized and trapped in a dollhouse, and their full-size captors Pilar, Patra, and Phoenix appear)
Piper: Ohh... I think they have a height advantage. (edit)
Piper (to Phoebe, who's been taken over by Phoenix): I cannot believe that you care more about getting back to your new condo than Leo.
Phoebe: How can you even say that?
Piper: Wah, do you have another explanation?
Phoebe: Well Yes! I do... But I'm not gonna tell you! (She turns around very satisfied and walks into her room) (edit)

Trivia

add »
This is allegedly the same dollhouse as seen previously in Scry Hard. So why could Phoebe open the front door, when it was revealed in the other episode the only way in or out of the dollhouse was to open the whole front of the house? (edit)
Although it's difficult to see, you can see with a DVD or a pause of the scene, that the doll house that is blown up is not the real one. We see the real one, but when the explosion appears the doll house that is being blowing up is just a replica with no details and no windows. (edit)
Paige says the reason the distance she had moved the rock was so little because she was too little. Yet in the season 4 episode Size Matters, she was able to orb a wand thing to herself & that was much bigger than the rock! The only reason for this is the fact that demons were channeling the Power of Three which might have weakened their powers. (edit)
TRIVIA: This episode shows Paige's power growing into psychokinetic orbing and even conjuration. (edit)
TRIVIA: Paige's double claims to have only been impersonating her for five years, unlike the Piper and Phoebe duplicates, who have been training for eight years. This implies there was originally a Prue double or at some stage they replicated Prue's powers, but then somehow changed them to become Paige's instead. (edit)

Allusions

add »
