(Collins gives Wesley a syringe)

COLLINS: Careful. The sedative contained in that syringe is powerful enough to bring down a man twice your size... or a Slayer.

WESLEY: How does it work?

WEATHERBY: How do you think? You *jab* her with it, don't you?

COLLINS: Just a little pressure on the flesh, in moments she'll feel the effects.

WESLEY: So you intend to take her alive then.

COLLINS: Of course. She'll be out long enough for us to secure her for transport back to England. There she'll begin her rehabilitation.

WESLEY: Does the Council *really* believe she can be rehabilitated?

COLLINS: We have every confidence. You'll signal us as soon as it's done and we'll come in and take care of the rest. (to waitress) Thanks.

WESLEY: I have some conditions of my own. Just one actually. No harm must come to the vampire.

WEATHERBY: Oh, don't be a ponce!

WESLEY: That's it. Unless you agree to that, you won't get any help from me.

COLLINS: We have no quarrel with the vampire.

WEATHERBY: Unless you count the fact that he *is* a vampire!

WESLEY: It's a special case. He's reformed. He has a soul. In point of fact, I've confronted more evil, slain more demons (notices the waitress coming by and lowers his voice) slain more demons -- in short, done more good -- while working with Angel than I *ever* did while I was in the Council's employ.

COLLINS: We'll make every effort.

WESLEY: No. Not every effort! No harm. I must have your word.

COLLINS: Done.

(They shake.)
