Guard: You know, most people think that security guards are just guys that failed the police exam. But that's not me. This is my career.

CORDELIA: Stereotypes are so unfair.

Guard: I did take the fireman's exam, though. I didn't do so good.

CORDELIA: Oh, well, you know, I think that security guards (plays with his badge) are *way* sexier than firemen. They're all sooty.

Guard: Well, this is where all the action is anyhow. I'm all the time restraining people.

CORDELIA: Mm, how thrilling. Do you ever get scared?

Guard: 'Fear is for the weak.' That's my motto. Either that, or 'Live in the now.' I haven't decided yet.

CORDELIA: I bet you see a lot of tragedy. You know, like that little girl?

Guard: Oh, one of Dr. Backer's patients. Dr. Backer's a great man. He understands the real truth about children.

CORDELIA: What's that?

Guard: Sometimes they die.

Cordelia closes her eyes. Xander makes another bumping noise, this time loud enough that the security guard hears it.

Guard: What was that?

CORDELIA: Uh, you know, I didn't hear anything. You know, you have the most... perfect nose I've ever seen. You must work out.

Guard: (gives her a little growl) Yeah.

CORDELIA: (smiles and nods her head) Mm-hm.
