Phoebe: Piper, I am understanding. You’re in love
with two guys, who both love you. (Piper rolls her eyes) I get it. Totally! But
what I don’t get, is why you won’t let me help you.
Piper: Help me? (Phoebe drinks some orange juice) What are you going to do? Take one of them off my hands? (Phoebe pretends to consider the offer, and smiles.) That’s not an option.
Phoebe:Look, you’re stuck. You don’t want to string them along, but you can’t make a choice. You need help... assistance...a sign
Piper: a *sign*…

Piper:Prue, you dreamt of winning the Pulitzer in
