LORNE: Room service. Hey. I brought you some nice O-positive here, freshly nuked for that right out of the jugular taste.

ANGEL: Just put it on the table.

LORNE: (looking at Angel's drawing) Mmm. Good likeness. You wouldn't mind if I ran screaming from the room, would ya?

ANGEL: Shut the door on your way out.

LORNE: Oh, all right. You want to play it this way, we'll play it this way.

ANGEL: Play what?

LORNE: Angel, sweetie. Why so down? (with a deep voice) Don't interrupt me, I'm brooding.

ANGEL: I'm not brooding, I'm researching.

LORNE: The apocalyptic Beast who's turned our city into his personal abattoir? Yeah, so's everybody else. Wesley included. Downstairs. Together.

ANGEL: I work better alone.

LORNE: Oh-ho-ho. That's it. I see. It's all about you. Silly old Lorne, thinking it was about saving the world from ending. Welcome to the big leagues, Angel. You're a champion. You don't get personal days.

ANGEL: You want to shove that into English for me?

LORNE: I know about Connor and Cordelia. It's a—it's a vibe, it's a thing. I know. What can I say?

ANGEL: You can say goodbye. Take a hike.

LORNE: Connor's still gonna be your son, you know, when it's all said and done. And you may not find perfect happiness with Cordelia, but Angel food, you gotta remember, there's other fish in the sea.
