ANGEL: Mrs. Summers.

JOYCE: I'm sorry to, uh... Well, I would have called, but, you know.

ANGEL: Please, you're always welcome.

JOYCE: My goodness, your place is amazing.

ANGEL: Yeah, I like a lot of space. I don't get out much during the day.

JOYCE: No, you wouldn't. (Her gaze pauses on a set of manacles that are fastened to a wall.)

ANGEL: Can I get you something? I don't have any coffee.

JOYCE: Oh, no thank you, I, uh... You don't drink? Beverages, I mean?

ANGEL: No, I do. It's just the caffeine. It makes me jittery.

JOYCE: Oh. I understand Buffy spent the night.

ANGEL: I'm sorry about that. We came back after patrol...

JOYCE: I, I'm not interested in the details. That's not why I'm here.

ANGEL: Okay.

JOYCE: I'm here because I'm worried about you two. In general.

ANGEL: What happened before, when I changed, it won't happen again.

JOYCE: That's not all I'm concerned about. I don't have to tell you that you and Buffy are from different worlds.

ANGEL: No, you don't.

JOYCE: She's had to deal with a lot. Grew up fast. Sometimes even I forget that she's still just a girl.

ANGEL: I'm old enough to be her ancestor.

JOYCE: She's just starting out in life.

ANGEL: I know. I think about it more now that she's staying in Sunnydale.

JOYCE: Good. Because when it comes to you, Angel, she's just like any other young woman in love. You're all she can see of tomorrow. But I think we both know that there are some hard choices ahead. If she can't make them, you're gonna have to. I know you care about her. I just hope you care enough.
