(Fred is sitting on the stage of Caritas singing Crazy by Patsy Cline.)

FRED: (singing) Crazy. I'm crazy for feeling so lonely. I'm crazy...

CORDELIA: I swear to god she picked out the song herself.

FRED: (singing) ...for feeling so blue. I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted. ...and then some day, you'd leave me for somebody new.

(Gunn sees Wes and Cordy at the table and walks in the opposite direction, almost bumping into Lorne. Leans on the bar beside him, looking down. Lorne looks at him.)

GUNN: I know what your doing and don't! Stop it! Do - not! Hey! Don't go reading me!

FRED: (singing) Worry. Why should I let myself worry?

LORNE: I wouldn't. But, sweetie, you're a billboard. (Gunn turns to look towards Wes' table) Yeah. He came in tonight with some questions. Looks to me like you got the answers.

FRED: (singing) I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you...

GUNN: I really don't feel like going over there.

LORNE: Yeah, I know. So - you wanna talk about it?

FRED: (singing) I'm crazy for trying, and crazy for...

GUNN: Do I got to sing?

(Guys with machine guns are coming down the stairs opening fire on the demon clientele. )

GUNN: Go. Down! Come on!

GIO: Party! Yoo-hoo!

(commercial)

LORNE: Oh, my club!

(Wes grabs Fred off the stage and brings her back behind a table)

CORDELIA: What's happening? I thought demon violence was impossible in here.

WESLEY: Those aren't demons.

RONDELL: It's time! Lets truck!

GIO: Woah, don't be in such a rush, man! You're always in such a hurry. You're liable to miss out on some of the more interesting things in life. - Yo! Charlie Gunn! Come on, now. I know you're in here. Where you at?

GUNN: I'm right here.

RONDELL: G-man. What're you doing here?

GIO: Come on. Tell him! Tell him how you been rolling up in here for *months* tossing back drinks with your demon buddies.

RONDELL: What he's saying - that ain't true.

GIO: Why not? His best friend's a *vampire*. What you expect?

GUNN: Rondell, go. Just take your crew and leave.

RONDELL: No. Not until I get some answers.

GIO: That's right. Answers. The man wants some answers.

WESLEY: Yes, I think we all would.

CORDELIA: Wesley!

GUNN: Wes, stay out of this.

WESLEY: As much as I would like to, am afraid I'm in it. We all are.

(Lorne slowly stands up. Gio cocks his head at a couple of guys and they grab Lorne and hustle him out into the open.)

GUNN: Hey. Hey! That's enough!

GRAY DEMON: Oh god, oh god, oh god.

RONDELL: I don't believe this.

GUNN: He's okay, man.

GIO: Uh, nice!

RONDELL: He ain't okay. Look at him!

GUNN: You don't know what you're doing, Rondell.

WESLEY: It was them. They killed Merl and the others. You knew.

GUNN: I should have said something. I was going to. I was just... - I was trying to work it out, man. Figure how to deal.

LORNE: So, have you worked it out yet?

GUNN: I'm sorry.

RONDELL: You're gonna apologize to this thing? (Lifts his gun) Move.

(Gunn steps in front of Lorne.)

GIO: You might wanna.

GUNN: You can't do that, man. I can't let you. - You lost the mission, bro.

RONDELL: What?!

GUNN: What you been doing, man, this ain't right. None of this is right! This is not what we're about.

RONDELL: The hell you say. I don't know what you're about, but we've been doing what we've always done! Protecting our own.

WESLEY: And is it 'protecting your own' to break into other people's homes?

RONDELL: They ain't people. Are you?

CORDELIA: Stop! - Stop it.

WESLEY: If you don't mind I'd prefer a clean kill. The last time I was merely wounded. It took months to heal. Wounded, if I recall, in an attempt to help you.

GUNN: Look at me. Look at me! That's got nothing to do with them. This is between us. *Us*. Let 'em go, man.

GIO: Yeah, why not? We can do that. After all - we ain't *monsters*.

GUNN: (throws his keys at Wes' feet) Take my truck. The south side. They won't stop you.

(Wes doesn't move, but Cordy picks up the keys.)

RONDELL: How can you be sitting up in here with these things and tell me I'm the one that lost the mission?

GUNN: Because it's true. We used to face death because we had to. Now you're chasing it down, man, for the fun of it. That ain't right.

(Rondell spins to aim at Cordy, who is helping Fred up.)

RONDELL: One! Just one. Her. The others stay.

GUNN: Rondell, come on, man!

CORDELIA: I'm not leaving here without her. No way.

(Some of the gang pull Fred away from her and hustle Cordy towards the door.)

CORDELIA: No! No!

RONDELL: The rest'll be able to leave *after* she brings back the vampire. Then we'll see who lost the mission. Go.

GRAY DEMON: Oh god, oh god, oh god...

UGLY DEMON: Shut up! He ain't listening.
