CORDELIA: If you're wondering why this vein on my temple is doing the cha-cha, it’s because I just had one of those bone-crunching, mind-splitting vision headaches. New job.

ANGEL: I was just thinking about how much this place is like where I grew up.

CORDELIA: Right. Yeah. I could see that, except for the cars, and the buildings and the, you know, everything else.

ANGEL: It’s not so different. People moving through their lives. I wonder if anything ever really changes.

CORDELIA: Sure it does. They do. You have. They were just dreams, Angel. They weren’t even your dreams. They didn’t mean anything.

ANGEL: But I enjoyed it.

CORDELIA: It’d probably be okay if you never mentioned that part, ever again.

ANGEL: It’s still in me, Cordelia.

CORDELIA: Sure it’s in you. We all have *something*. But it’s not the only thing that’s in you. You’re not him, Angel. Not anymore. The name I got in my vision, the message didn’t come for Angelus, it came for you. Angel. And you have to trust that whoever The Powers That Be be, -are, is... anyway, they know the difference.

ANGEL: Yeah.

CORDELIA: People really *do* change.

ANGEL: Yes they do. And sometimes they change back. If the day ever comes that I...

CORDELIA: Oh, I’ll kill you dead!

ANGEL: (blinks) Thanks.
