Quotes:

Piper: Where are you? Ow! Who put that there?
Phoebe: Oh, my god! Piper, you're blind!
Piper: Yeah, Phoebe, I just said that. Now can we talk about how a monkey could do that?
Phoebe: What did she say?
Piper: What did who say? The monkey? The monkey didn't say anything. He covered my eyes and stole my eyesight.
Paige: [Paige writes] How?
Phoebe: I think the monkey stole your eyesight when he covered your eyes.
Piper: Phoebe, are you listening to me? That's just what I said. Are you acting like you can't even hear me?
Phoebe: Oh, Piper, it's no use. I can't even hear you. The monkey stole my hearing.
Piper: Oh, he got you, too. Which means somebody sent that flea-infested primate after us. We've got to find Paige.

Don't miss it till you loose it

To me, this episode is loaded with hilarious lines from the sisters. Even though their senses had been stolen from them from the Crone via a mystical monkey, their sisterly bonds managed to overcome the powers of evil. This episode is typical of the type of script writing of what made me a permanent fan of the entire series.I think that the Crone should'nt have been killed so soon but to allowed to return in future episodes. It was nice to see her again as she (Grace Zabriskie) plays such an excellent "evil hag". Only 2 episodes did not do her justice. If Debbi Morgan (The Seer) got so many; which I really didn't think she was so great, then why could'nt the Crone get the recognition she deserved? I especially loved hearing Paige's rendition of "Fever" in the club at the end of the show. It was HOT! What a great voice!!! This was definitely one of my favorite episodes. 9 out of 10.
