- Leo Wyatt: Chris, what are you doing sitting around here? Aren't you supposed to be getting to know your new charge?
- [Natalie, wearing only Chris's shirt, stands at the doorway.]
- Natalie: Oh, hi, Leo.
- Chris Halliwell: [to Leo] Okay, look, before you get mad, you were the one who wanted me to have a charge in the first place, remember?
- Leo Wyatt: Yeah, to protect her!
- Natalie: Oh, he *was* using protection.
- Paige Matthews: Wait a second, so you're saying Wyatt conjured a dragon?
- Piper Halliwell: Yep, right out of the TV.
- Phoebe Halliwell: Oh, you must be so proud.
- Piper Halliwell: Yeah -or a little irritated.
- Leo Wyatt: [Leo orbs into the P3 storeroom, Chris is getting ready] Hey.
- Chris Halliwell: Hey. I didn't know you were coming here.
- Leo Wyatt: What are you still doing here Chris? Shouldn't you be getting to know your new charge?
- Chris Halliwell: Yeah, about that, I'm uh I'm going back to what I originally said - I don't have time for her.
- Leo Wyatt: Chris...
- Chris Halliwell: Leo, I mean it. Because whether you believe me or not, I'm here to protect Wyatt, not other charges. Other than the sisters of course.
- Leo Wyatt: If that's how you feel about it, I guess I'll reassign her.
- Chris Halliwell: Thank you.
- [Leo orbs out, Chris sighs]
- Piper Halliwell: [standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge] "Let the object of objection become but a dream/ As I cause the seen to become unseen."
- [The Golden Gate bridge vanishes.]
- Piper Halliwell: You might wanna take an alternate route to work in the morning.
- Leo Wyatt: [Leo orbs into the P3 storeroom where Chris is relaxing on the sofa in a tshirt and boxers] Hey.
- Chris Halliwell: Hey.
- [Looks to see who it is]
- Chris Halliwell: uh Leo!
- [Hastily stands up]
- Chris Halliwell: Heey...
- [Picks up trousers to cover himself]
- Chris Halliwell: I didn't know you were coming here.
- Leo Wyatt: I can see that. Are you drinking beer?
- Chris Halliwell: [Glances at his bottle] Uh, I was going to pay for that...
- Leo Wyatt: Chris what are you doing sitting around here, aren't you supposed to be getting to know your new charge?
- Natalie: [Charge walks in with just a tshirt. Chris collapses on sofa, head in hands] Oh, hi Leo.
- Leo Wyatt: Okay look, before you get mad, you're the one who wanted me to have a charge in the first place, remember?
- Chris Halliwell: Yeah, to protect her...
- Natalie: - Oh, he was using protection.
- Chris Halliwell: Yeah, I don't think that's what he meant...
- Leo Wyatt: Chris, are you out of your mind? Aside from this being totally out of line, it's completely against the rules!
- Chris Halliwell: Huh yeah, you're one to talk.
- Natalie: Oh I - I don't think that's his point.
- [Leo glares, Chris sighs]
- Natalie: . Why don't I just... leave you two alone?
- [Walks out]
- Chris Halliwell: Look, I was just having a little fun, what's the big deal? It's not like I have anything pressing to do anyway.
- Leo Wyatt: You don't have anything pressing?
- [Chris shrugs]
- Leo Wyatt: Then why exactly did you come back from the future in the first place?
- Chris Halliwell: [Chris thinks] Uhhh I don't know...
- [Leo frowns as he shrugs]
- Chris Halliwell: I forgot.
- Leo Wyatt: You forgot?
- Chris Halliwell: Huh
- [laughs]
- Leo Wyatt: [Baby sounds] You hear that?
- Chris Halliwell: What?
- Leo Wyatt: Nevermind... We'll talk about this later.
- [Orbs out, Chris looks bewildered]
- Piper Halliwell: You can't. Not if you're truly neutral, that is. 'Cause, you see, if you get rid of us, you tip the balance of power from good to evil. Now, that's hardly being neutral, now, is it? You will give me my son back, or I swear to you, the only thing you will be doing for the next fifty years is cleaning up after us.
- Chris Halliwell: You're kidding right? I don't have time for another charge!
- Leo Wyatt: Why not?
- Chris Halliwell: Because I just - don't! Why do you want me to oversee another witch anyway?
- Leo Wyatt: Because I want to see what you can do - what you can handle.
- Chris Halliwell: Oh please, you just don't want me around the sisters all the time because you don't trust me.
- Leo Wyatt: Chris, protecting charges is what we do. And besides, when I was a Whitelighter I had other charges.
- Chris Halliwell: Leo, I didn't come all the way from the future to protect, and oversee, other charges. I came for one reason. And one reason only.
- Leo Wyatt: To protect Wyatt.
- Chris Halliwell: Yeah.
- Leo Wyatt: From some demon who will attack in the future, but you're not sure which one...
- Chris Halliwell: [Throws hands up in exasperation] Hey, man, fine, whatever, don't believe me, all I'm saying is there is no way I'm taking on another charge, and that's...
- [sees Natalie]
- Chris Halliwell: that.
- Natalie: Hi Leo, sorry I'm late.
- Leo Wyatt: It's ok.
- Natalie: You must be Chris.
- [Shakes his hand]
- Natalie: I'm Natalie.
- Chris Halliwell: [Looks at Leo] Maybe just one more.
