(Angel and Lawson rush into the next room to see what's happened. The Prince of Lies is beating up on the German. )

ANGEL: What the hell are you doing?

PRINCE OF LIES: (holding a report in his hands) You think I don't know?! I am as ancient as the darkness itself.

ANGEL: Yeah, you're real old. We know. Just calm down.

PRINCE OF LIES: They dare conceive such violations upon my temple! The Prince of Lies is not a slab of meat to be set upon by insignificant maggots!

ANGEL: Put a sock in it.

(pulls the Prince of Lies off of the German. The Prince of Lies roars at Angel's interference, knocking Angel back against the wall. Lawson pulls his gun on him, shooting the Prince of Lies several times to no effect. The Prince of Lies knocks Lawson down and turns back toward the German. )

GERMAN: Nein! Bitte! Ich flehe dich an—

PRINCE OF LIES: (to German) I will suck the brain from your skull and digest your thoughts like a sour pudding.

(Pan back to show Angel is staking the Prince of Lies before he can kill the German. )

GERMAN: (grateful to Angel) Danke. Er haette mich sonst umgebracht.

(Angel punches the German, knocking him out)

ANGEL: (to Lawson) You all right?

LAWSON: Nothing a year of shore leave won't fix.

HODGE: He exploded! He stabbed him, and he just exploded.

LAWSON: Get back to your stations. Now!

HODGE: How does a guy just explode like that?

LAWSON: Man's asking a good question.

ANGEL: You really need an answer?

LAWSON: Might help if I heard it for sure.

ANGEL: Vampire.

LAWSON: Yeah, I take it back. Doesn't help. So what do you think set him off?

SPIKE: I'm guessing these had something to do with it.

(holds up the report the Prince was holding)

SPIKE: Anybody read Nazi?
