(black ops invade the school, throw tear gas into the classroom, but the kids are gone)

ANGEL: So it turns out, with this new deal and all, I own a helicopter.

HAUSER: Where's the boy?

ANGEL: You just missed everybody. (RE: smoke) Oh, I probably don't wanna be breathing that.

HAUSER: Kid's still a threat, which means you have him isolated, probably nearby.

ANGEL: I can see why they made you the leader. Do I even have to start with how fired you all are?

HAUSER: That's not how it works.

ANGEL: Oh, right! Tradition. Why don't you show me how that's done?

HAUSER: Thank you, sir. Take him out!

(they open fire, Angel fights them)

(...)

(Angel takes down all the agents but Hauser, who faces him with a gun)

ANGEL: You know that won't kill me.

HAUSER It'll hurt. That part's fun.

ANGEL: Agent Hauser, I'm honestly beginning to suspect that you're not part of the solution.

HAUSER: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram and Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy.

ANGEL: I'm not little.

HAUSER: That's exactly what you are. You're minuscule. A dust mote on the shelf of that great institution. Now, you think I'm just a trigger-happy jerk who follows orders, but I am something you will never be. I'm pure. I believe in evil. You and your friends, you're conflicted. You're confused. We're not. That is why you are gonna lose, because we possess the most powerful thing in the world... conviction.

ANGEL: There is one thing more powerful than conviction. Just one. Mercy.

(Angel kicks Hauser's gun upright & it goes off. blood splattered wall.)

FALLEN AGENT: What happened to mercy?

ANGEL: (walking out) You just saw the last of it.
