Wyatt: But that spell. As you said. Aunt Phoebe gave to Parker. It has never been casted before. How do we know it will work?
Piper: Come on. It's Phoebe. You know her spells always tend to work out in the end.
Wyatt: Alright. Then. That's the plan. Then.

Front Desk Officer: I'm sorry. Inspectors. Those are what go by on. I'm trying my best here.
Junior: Excuses.

Mariah: Because I wasn't done punishing you for disobeying me.
Melinda/Melanie: But why work with him? I already kind of half- half trust you. But now he's in the picture.
Mariah: We can trust him. Aidan. He's neutral territory. Kills only when necessary.
Aidan: And I'm half human. On a constant fight with my human and demon self. It's struggling.

Mariah: Trust me. Aidan fits those few exceptions.
Melinda/Melanie: Don't believe you. In my case right now. I have no choice but to trust you.
