(Wesley watches from the lab office as Illyria stands motionless on the main lab floor. Angel joins him at the window)

WESLEY: She's either... counting oxygen molecules or analyzing the petri dish she just put into her mouth. Or sleeping. I can never quite tell.

ANGEL: You sure this was a good idea?

WESLEY: Oh, we have plenty of petri dishes.

ANGEL: I meant --

WESLEY: I know what you meant.

ANGEL: You don't have to do this all yourself.

WESLEY: Who else is there? We're running out of people, Angel. We're getting no further with Gunn--

ANGEL: I'm not leaving Gunn in a hell dimension. We'll get him out. In the meantime, I need you to let us help you with her.

WESLEY: She's my responsibility.

ANGEL: She's our responsibility. If she's gonna be here, there are things that we should be doing-- Testing her powers, studying her. She put a whole petri dish in her mouth?

WESLEY: Illyria can be... difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt.

ANGEL: We'll make Spike do it.

WESLEY: Good. She doesn't understand our world. She needs someone to guide her. She needs--

ANGEL: When was the last time you slept? You're not her savior. I need you here, working, not off drinking yourself into a coma, chasing ghosts. Fred's dead, Wes. You're still alive. Start acting like it.

(Wesley stares at Illyria as Angel walks out.)
