It's not over till it's over...

Darryl: As your hypothetical friend, can I give you some advice?
Cole: Yeah.
Darryl: Don't do this to yourself.
Cole: I can't help it.
Darryl: You love her. I get it. And your love, it's epic. Look what it's doing to you.
Cole: Paige says she hates me.She says I should leave for good. You've known her for a long time, Darryl. What do you think? Should I leave?
Darryl: I know you don't want to. But what you want really doesn't matter, right?
Cole: Right.
Darryl: Well...there you go.
Paige: Cole?
Cole: Paige, you don't have to break into my apartment. I'm leaving, I'm taking your advice.
Paige: Don't. I've been known to give very bad advice.
Cole: I beg your pardon?
Paige: Phoebe needs your help.
Cole: I know. That's why I'm going away, because it's the best way to help her. Now if you'll excuse me..
Paige: No.
Cole: What are you doing?
Paige: Please, I can't let you leave.
Cole: What kind of game are you playing?
Paige: I'm not playing any games! I told you, Phoebe needs your help.
Cole: And you need psychological help.
Paige: Okay, that's probably true, especially since I cannot believe what I'm about to say, but I think Phoebe's still in love with you.
Cole: Oh yeah. 'Phoebe hates you so much her body erupted in scales.' That's what you said this morning.
Paige: Okay, maybe an unfortunate choice of words. I thought Phoebe was running away because she hated you, but now I think it's because she loves you.
Cole: You think?
Paige: It's a theory. Look, her advice column has been obsessed with love ever since you left.
Cole: You told me to go away. Phoebe said it, Darryl said it, I got the message, now you're changing your opinion based on a theory?
Paige: What if I can prove it?
Cole: Only Phoebe can prove that she still loves me.
Paige: You're right.
Open Phoebe's heart to Cole,
Reveal the secret that it holds,
Bring forth the passion of love's fire,
That he may feel her true desire.
(A cloud of red sparkly lights suddenly appears and buzzes around Cole's head.)
Cole: What did you do? (The sparkles dive into him. He gasps.) Phoebe.
Paige: I guess she loves you more than either of us realized.
Phoebe: How did I get here?
Cole: I brought you here.
Phoebe: This isn't happening. This can't be happening. This goes beyong stalking!
Cole: I'm not stalking you. Paige sent me. I know why you ran, Phoebe.
Phoebe: You don't know anything about me.
Cole: You thought that you could escape into this big ocean, that the waves would wash away your pain. But they won't, not until you admit what drove you here in the first place.
Phoebe: I know what drove me here. You.
Cole: Yeah, but why? And don't say you're scared of me, because you're not. Come on, you don't want to spend eternity alone just to avoid the truth. If not for me, be honest for your own sake. Don't lose yourself because of me.
Phoebe: What do you want me to say?
Cole: You don't have to say anything. All you have to do to free yourself is admit how you truly feel about me. In your heart.
(Phoebe's mermaid tail disappears. Cole helps her stand up and gives her his coat.)
Phoebe: How could you be so sure?
Cole: I had a feeling.
Phoebe: I do love you. And I always will. But it doesn't change anything, it doesn't matter. It's over between us.
-A Witch's Tail, Part Two
Adam: Oh, you two know each other?
Cole: Well yeah, we're married.
Adam: I can't. The witch...she'll kill me!
Cole: So will I. You don't want to hurt her. (Adam goes to smash the pumpkin, but Cole puts him into slow motion. He walks over and picks up the pumpkin.) What am I gonna do with you? (He puts Adam back into normal speed and punches him out.) Keep your hands off my pumpkin.
Phoebe: Okay. You want me to say it, don't you? I was wrong, okay? I'm sorry. I really am.
Cole: It's not your fault. I lost your trust a long time ago, I can't expect to earn it back overnight.
Phoebe: I don't think I'm gonna trust anyone anytime soon.
Cole: Do you mean Adam? He was just being used by the witch, he's a good guy.
Phoebe: Really? I don't think I can even tell anymore.
Phoebe: What are we doing here?
Cole: Rebuilding your trust. You liked him when you first met him, right?
Phoebe: Yeah. So?
Cole: So, he's not under a spell. Why don't you see if your original instincts were right? Look, I don't want you to fall in love with him, Phoebe. But you need to realize he's not evil.
Phoebe: Why are you doing this?
Cole: Because unless you learn to trust yourself again....you'll never learn to trust me.
If you love someone, you set them free. If they come back, they're yours forever. If they don't, they never were.
-Happily Ever After
Phoebe: Death did us part, Cole. Just because you found a way to come back, don't act like I didn't keep my end of the bargain.
Cole: Come on Phoebe. You don't think our love deserves better than a quickie divorce?
Phoebe: I just think that since we won't be riding off into the sunset, we may as well keep it simple.
Cole: You want to ride off into the sunset, I can have us on horseback in five seconds flat.
Phoebe: Oh yeah, you gonna steal a horse from one of those apocalypse guys?
Phoebe: Allright, let's just get this over with, shall we? What was going through your mind when you were in the fire?
Cole: Well, mostly I was hoping that one of the powers I picked up from the demonic wasteland would protect me from the flames...
Phoebe: You know what, let's just forget it, let's just forget this whole thing...
Cole: No, no, I'm sorry. I'll uh, I'll rein it in.
Phoebe: Okay, then what was going through your mind when you were in the fire?
Cole: I was thinking...I hope I make it out of this, I'd hate to never see my wife again.
Phoebe: Cole...
Cole: I'm serious. All day long, everything I do, I'm thinking of you.
Phoebe: Okay, do you think this is all some kind if game? Do you have any idea how disturbing it was for me to watch you walk through a wall of fire?
Cole: I saved a woman's life, how is that disturbing?
Phoebe: Well, you have more powers than any demon I have ever met. Everyone may think that you're just this brave guy, but I know the truth, and it's freakin scary.
Cole: I will not use my powers for anything but good.
Phoebe: I know you believe that, and I know you want it to be true, but Cole, it's just a matter of time.
Cole: You're wrong.
Phoebe: Cole, evil is inside of you. It's who you are, and no amount of good deeds will ever change that.
Cole: You're wrong. And if I have to hunt down every demon in San Francisco to prove it, then that's what I'm gonna do.
Phoebe: Cole? What about the interview?
Cole: You know me so well, make it up.
(He leaves.)
Cole: Did you, uh, get my flowers?
Phoebe: Yeah...'Sorry I tried to strangle you.' Not a card the florist gets to write every day.
Cole: I guess I didn't want you to be right.
Phoebe: Neither did I.
-Siren Song
Phoebe: Is he here?
Cole: Who?
Phoebe: Miller. Edward Miller. You said he was coming here.
Cole: Oh I uh...I took care of it.
Phoebe: What do you mean? What does that mean?
(She turns back to the elevator and hits the down button.)
Cole: Phoebe, he was going to expose you. what was I supposed to do? Phoebe, wait....
(The elevator doors ominously slide shut.)
-Magic Wears A Mask
Some people see a hopeless end...others see an endless hope.
Paige: Cole? Cole? Cole?
Cole: Don't move, demon!
Paige: Cole, it's me, Paige!
Cole: Who sent you?! Answer me!
Paige: Damnit, you idiot! (She punches him)
Cole: Oh, God. Oh, god, I'm so sorry, Paige, are you okay?
Paige: Yeah, no thanks to you.
Cole: I don't know who I am anymore.
Paige: I think I have a solution for that.
Cole: What do you mean?
Paige: Power stripping potion. The same stuff Phoebe used on you, only I made some adjustments to compensate for your added powers.
Cole: You wanna take away my powers? I'll have no way to defend myself.
Paige: Yeah, you also wouldn't be able to hurt anybody...including Phoebe.
(Barbras's spirit materializes near Cole.)
Barbras: You fear hurting Phoebe even more than you fear remaning forever evil. Protect Phoebe. Strip your powers.
(Barbras vanishes.)
Cole: Let's do it.
Cole: Shouldn't you guys give Paige a break? I mean, she had good intentions, that's got to count for something.
Paige: Thank you...I think.
Piper: Where'd that come from?
Leo: The only place it could; his heart. Cole's good now.
Phoebe: Yeah, well it doesn't change anything.
Cole: Doesn't it? You're the only one who's seen that side of me, it's the side you fell in love with.
Hold up a second here; why does the "it's not someone's powers that make them good or evil, it's how they use them" thing apply top everyone but Cole? Just becuse he had no powers at the moment didn't make him good any more than his having powers made him evil. Sigh. Okay, that was just my little rant.
Piper: I'm ready.
Leo: Are you?
Cole: To take evil back? No. But I'm not doing it for me.
