[Wesley and Lilah are laying in bed, sleepily chatting.]
So Angel knows about our relationship. Big deal.
A dollar! You owe me a dollar!
Oh, damn!
You called this a 'relationship'. [sing-song voice] You lost the be-et. You said it fir-irst. [Wesley hands her a dollar] Sign it first, as proof.
Proof of what?
Of now. Of this. [she nuzzles his nose; they kiss]
That's everything? It all makes perfect sense now. I was a cheerleader, a princess and a warrior. And I have visions and super powers and I'm the target of an evil law firm because I've spent the last three months living on a higher plane, fighting for the forces of good, who wage a battle against demons and evilies and squishy bug babies, 'cause all that stuff's real and that's the world I live in. And-and I think I know why I don't remember any of this 'cause, hey, who'd want to!
Is that why you ran out while Cordelia was singing?
Well, "A", I wasn't running, I was fleeing. And, "B", yes.
Well, how horrible is this thing?
Well, I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but, if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.
Was I a nun?
A what?
Were we not a happy family because I was a nun? [reaches over to a box next to her] I was going through my stuff [grabs a handful of rosaries] and I found all these—
[Cordelia puts numerous rosaries adorned with crucifixes in Angel's hands, causing him to vamp out uncontrollably.]
What if Wolfram and Hart came back? What if there were hundreds of those things? What if this is the way it starts? I mean, the slouching and the Bethlehem. And they've taken her because of what she knows—even if she can't remember she knows it.
Have you been caffeinating your blood again, or is there something you're not telling us?
Is that why you ran out while Cordelia was singing?
Well, "A", I wasn't running, I was fleeing. And, "B", yes.
Well, how horrible is this thing?
Well, I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but, if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.
Was that all you saw?
That was the tip of the 'berg, pumpkin nut. What I got from Cordy was dense. A big, fat, tummy-clinching onion from hell. The more layers you peel, the more you cry. Or vomit, in this case.
