Marshall: I don't know what kind of people you're used to dealing with, but I'd lay serious coin that they aren't willing to rip you into a thousand pieces and dance in your entrails.
Victor: Oh, so you're lawyers. (edit) Piper: Wait a sec. Last week we had no Dad and now we have two? (edit) Prue: Some of us have a job.
Phoebe: Some of us have fun.
Piper: And some of us are having a really bad hair day. (edit) Prue: Um, hi. You must be Mr. Wyatt.
Phoebe: The handyman?
Leo: Call me Leo.
Phoebe: Gladly. (edit) Phoebe: I just read from the book, and wham - I am Tabitha. (edit)

At the party Prue and Andy are talking, when Fritz comes over and starts talking to Andy and Prue leaves. The next shot however shows Fritz standing next to Marhsall and his sister. Where did Andy go?
(edit)
TRIVIA: Ironically Anthony Denison and Alyssa Milano appeared, although seperately, as highly publicized lovers Joey Buttafuoco and Amy Fisher in the competing 1993 made for tv movies Long Island Lolita (Alyssa)and The Amy Fisher Story (Anthony).
(edit)
How is it that the conversation that Prue and "shapeshifter" Andy had never came up when her and the real Andy were sitting in the kitchen talking. Obviously, the real Andy somehow learned of his plans to hang out with Prue rather than her go with her sisters to have dinner with Victor. So wouldn't Andy have originally expressed confusion when Prue discussed their plans, since he was never there and therefore tipped Prue off to something being wrong? While they never discussed the previous visit onscreen, it seems highly unlikely it would not have come up since he somehow managed to wind up spending the evening with her!
(edit)
TRIVIA: Victor says its been twenty years since he last saw his daughters mentioning that Piper and Phoebe were four and one, which puts their current ages at twenty four and twenty one, but no specific age is given for Prue.
(edit)
Phoebe is three years younger than Piper.
(edit)
Prue: Cop, witch...it's not a love connection.
"Love Connection" was a popular television dating show that ran from 1983-1994. (edit) Phoebe: I just read from the book, and wham - I am Tabitha.
Tabitha is the witch daughter of Samantha, the witch from the series Bewitched. (edit) Title: Thank You For Not Morphing
This is a reference to the signs you see almost everywhere "Thank you for not smoking.". (edit)
