You should get away. Vacation? You know that word? Go to Cabo, drink margaritas, midnight skinny-dipping, making love on the beach... did you catch how I subtly included myself in your little vacation package?
Nina...
Too pushy, too needy, I never even said it. You should make love on the beach all by yourself.
I've grown wary of this world since my powers were depleted. Strange... though I've been made more human, this place remains disconcerting.
Yeah, well, I'm afraid that never goes away. Anyhow, I thought Wesley was giving you a primer on all things human.
He and I are no longer having intercourse.
Yeah, I... you what? What?
He has ceased communication with me.
Oh! Oh. Communi--
My recent reversion to the Burkle persona disturbed him. And he will not tell me why.
You don't know? You may not think you're as powerful as you were, Highness, but looking like Fred, for some of us... it's the most devastating power you have.
You know the Fells. All they can talk about is the baby. The baby's doing this now. The baby's doing that. What a wonderful ritual sacrifice he'll make. Yak, yak, yak.
[Lindsey is explaining the Circle of The Black Thorn.]
It's a secret organization.
Never heard of them.
That's 'cause they're secret.
You'll have proof soon enough. A corrupted ruler on such a path sees treachery and betrayal all around him. He cannot suffer intimates and will eventually turn against them.
Guess I don't have to worry about that, 'cause Angel and me have never been intimate. Except that one...
Plane tickets? I don't believe it. We're getting away? This is.. But thought you didn't have enough time to... Ahm, wait! There are three tickets here. We taking a chaperone? [looks closer at the tickets] My sister and Amanda?
I need you to be out of here.
It's typical. You sleep with a guy and he sends your entire family out of the country. No, wait. That's actually not that typical at all. You couldn't just.. not call?
[Illyria and Drogyn are playing "Crash Bandicoot" while waiting to hear from Angel.]
I play this game. It's pointless, and annoys me. And yet I'm compelled to play on.
