(The gang sans Angel are in their new, Angel-less office space.)

WESLEY: What I wouldn't give for a roving band of Prekian demons right now. (Gunn and Cordy, sitting by the desk, give him a look.) Without the ritualistic slayings of course.

CORDELIA: Of course.

WESLEY: Something to fight. Good to be done. A little action.

CORDELIA: Maybe we could buy one of those star maps, find out where Steven Segal lives. (Gunn and Wes give her a look) You telling me he got to be a movie star without a little demonic assistance?

GUNN: Look, I say if things are quiet, let them be quiet.

WESLEY: Quiet maybe good for mankind - but bad for business. We need to make a name for ourselves.

GUNN: We can't even agree on a new name yet. Unless, of course you guys have come around to the idea of...

WESLEY: I don't think so.

CORDELIA: Give it up already.

WESLEY: New name or not we need to be on the streets, plying our trade. Generating a little word of mouth. We can't expect evil to just walk through the door.

(The front door opens and a woman ushers in a young girl.)

CORDELIA: Can we help you?

FRANCINE: I'm, ah, looking for Wesley Wyndham Price.

WESLEY: I'm Wesley.

FRANCINE: Ah. I'm Francine Sharp, my daughter Stephanie. I'm a friend of Virginia's from the club.

WESLEY: Oh, right, the country club.

CORDELIA: One of Virginia's *rich* friends? (Wesley, Stephanie and Francine give her a look.) You certainly came to the right place, ha, ha.

FRANCINE: Virginia said you specialize in, uh, strange phenomenon?

CORDELIA: The stranger the better as far as we're concerned. Please, have a seat. - Tell us what the problem is. Trust me, we specialize in strange. There is nothing we haven't see... (Trails off as she notices Stephanie's problem... Turns to Wes and whispers) There's an eye in the back of her head!

FRANCINE: Something grabbed Stephanie on the way home from swim practice and bit her. When she woke up this morning that was there.

WESLEY: Did you see who or what did this to you?

FRANCINE: It was dark. She doesn't remember much. She's been in a state of shock since it happened. I'll pay you whatever it takes. Can you make it go away?

WESLEY: Yes, uh, absolutely. Consider us already on the job.

CORDELIA: I knew you came to the right place.

FRANCINE: Who would do this?

WESLEY: We're going to find out, but it - it'll take a little time. You'd be surprised how many nasty things are on the streets these days.
