- Angel of Death: People have to die in the order on my list. If one person doesn't, all death ceases. Now I have to work overtime to collect the souls I've been unable to claim, to undo the damage you've done to the grand design.
- Piper Halliwell: Damage? We've done more than almost anyone to protect your grand design.
- Paige Matthews: Look, we should leave it. We have a demon to go after.
- Piper Halliwell: [Ignores her] We've given up a lot to make sure you have *less* work. I have two kids and a business, and I still find time to fight demons, too. It's not our fault you can't keep up.
- Angel of Death: That isn't my problem.
- Piper Halliwell: It sure as hell isn't my problem
- Paige Matthews: Stop yelling at Death!
- Paige Matthews: Oh, no.
- Piper Halliwell: Oh, no? What could be more oh, no, than they're taking my body away for an autopsy?
- Paige Matthews: Agent Brody.
- Piper Halliwell: What's he doing here?
- Paige Matthews: Mm, probably watching me talk to myself.
- Phoebe Halliwell: What are you wearing?
- Piper Halliwell: You didn't tell her.
- Paige Matthews: No. Okay, fine. Piper's dead.
- Phoebe Halliwell: WHAT?
- Piper Halliwell: I'm not dead. I'm Death. As if my life wasn't busy enough already.
- Piper Halliwell: You scared me.
- Elderly Man: I scared *you*? Who are you, and what's happening?
- Piper Halliwell: Well, I think you might actually be, you know, dead. I know. Bummer, huh?
- Elderly Man: Are you here to take me away?
- Piper Halliwell: I don't know. I think so. See, I'm kinda new at this.
- Elderly Man: [White light appears] What's happening?
- Piper Halliwell: Good question.
- Elderly Man: Where does that go?
- Piper Halliwell: I'm not sure, but I think I'm supposed to take you in there. What do you say?
- [They walk towards the light]
- Piper Halliwell: If it makes you feel any better, I'm a little scared too.
- Piper Halliwell: I'm not doing this anymore. I give up. I quit.
- Angel of Death: You can't quit, Piper. Not until you catch up.
- Piper Halliwell: You can't make me take my sister's soul. I won't do it.
- Angel of Death: We don't get to decide who lives or dies. Only circumstances can change someone's fate.
- Piper Halliwell: Well, then I won't collect any more souls. I'll go on strike.
- Angel of Death: So to save your sister, you would threaten to stop all death.
- Piper Halliwell: You got it.
- Angel of Death: That's rather selfish of you, don't you think? Unless, of course, you think that death is pointless.
- Piper Halliwell: Well, I-...
- Angel of Death: It's not, you know. Far from it. Life only has meaning specifically because there is an end. Death is what forces people to live.
- Angel of Death: You don't understand. People have to die in order, according to my list. Otherwise, the cosmic balance is thrown off.
- Leo Wyatt: This is really bad.
- Phoebe Halliwell: Leo, relax. Piper's been dead before
- Leo Wyatt: Not like this, not on the midday news
- Piper Halliwell: Phoebe? What are you doing here?
- Phoebe Halliwell: Remembering what we're all about.
- Piper Halliwell: What we're all about is keeping you alive.
- Phoebe Halliwell: Not at the expense of an innocent.
- Piper Halliwell: Phoebe, this death thing might not be very real to you, but it is very real to me. I've seen it. I *am* it.
- Phoebe Halliwell: Piper, we've all seen it, and it's never stopped us before.
- Piper Halliwell: That's before we knew you were next on the list. Why are you not listening to me? I'm trying to save you.
- Phoebe Halliwell: Because this isn't just about me. Look, I don't wanna die, but I'm not gonna sit around and wait for an innocent to die either. And I think that's why I needed to take that sabbatical. To remind myself of that.
