Angel: Pro bono. There's got to be an angle. from Blood Money (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Merl's lair.)
ANGEL: Evening, Merl.
MERL: What do you want, man? I ain't inviting you in.
ANGEL: Demon lairs. No invitation necessary.
MERL: Yeah, but it's polite...
ANGEL: Are you avoiding me, Merl? I ask you for a favor and you're avoiding me. *That's* impolite.
MERL: Well, nearly drowning me and leaving me hanging in the sewer ain't exactly Emily Post either.
ANGEL: Okay. So we're both rude. You know what? I can live with that. Now, do you have the information I need, or do I have to see what the inside of your head looks like?
MERL: Fine! Um, I check out the girl. She's clean. Changed her name a couple of times, but no record.
ANGEL: What's her connection to Wolfram and Hart?
MERL: Easy. She runs a shelter over on Crenshaw. Couple of months ago, they almost lost the lease on the place. Wolfram and Hart step in and clear it all up pro bono, and there you go.
ANGEL: But she's still working for them.
MERL: Well, you know so much, what do you need me for, huh? Come to think of it, why *do* you need me? What happened to that hot chick that was working for you?
ANGEL: Pro bono. There's got to be an angle.
MERL: Always is. But as far as I can tell, the shelter itself is strictly legit.
ANGEL: Okay.
MERL: Hey! Hey, what about my hundred bucks!
ANGEL: You know what? I'll owe you. Just make sure you use it for some new furniture. Bean bag chairs? (Shakes head) Merl.
