(Anne's Office.)

ANNE: I sort of thought you'd show up again.

ANGEL: You alright?

ANNE: I didn't have a big monster pounding my face into the floor, so I figure I'm better than you.

ANGEL: What did Lindsey say about me?

ANNE: That you were a bad man.

ANGEL: Bad man.

ANNE: A psychotic vampire who cut off his hand, harassed his firm and - is borderline schizophrenic. I was giving you the short version.

ANGEL: Do you believe that?

ANNE: Well, I'd say for sure you're a vampire. Human being would be in the hospital, beating you took.

ANGEL: And that doesn't frighten you.

ANNE: A few years ago it would have been a big turn on. I thought vampires were the coolest.

ANGEL: What happened?

ANNE: I met one.

ANGEL: You're not afraid of me.

ANNE: Well, I've seen worse things since. I've seen a fourteen-year-old girl sitting in her own blood after a rough trick and dozens of people just walking right by, so no, vampires, demons, even lawyers pretty much don't impress me. Maybe you had a good reason for cutting off Lindsey's hand. I don't care. I care about the shelter. If an evil law firm is gonna help me raise two million dollars...

ANGEL: Which you'll probably see only five percent of.

ANNE: Yeah, well, I did the math. Five percent of two million is a hundred thousand dollars. That's more money than this shelter could raise in two years.

ANGEL: What about the other ninety five percent? You don't care where that's going, who that could be hurting?

ANNE: I can't.

ANGEL: There is blood on that money, Anne. Are you the person who can ignore that? Have you become that yet? I don't think you have.

ANNE: You don't know what it takes to run a shelter...

ANGEL: Help me. Get me into the party. (Pulls out 8mm video tape) I put this on, the world sees a whole new side of Wolfram and Hart.

ANNE: Why should I?

ANGEL: Because it's right. In the long run, it's better.

ANNE: Most of my kids don't have a long run. No. I'm saying no.
