LORNE: (on phone) No, no, that certainly doesn't sound normal for a boy his age. Look, we'll send someone out as soon as we can. Just, um—just don't poke it. (hangs up)

ANGEL: (to Gunn, entering) Hey. How'd it go?

LORNE: Where's Fred?

GUNN: Bad. Out. (phone rings) I got it.

LORNE: Bless you and all your parts.

GUNN: (to phone) Angel Investigations. Uh-huh. And what is the nature of your manifestation?

LORNE: Business is really humming, huh?

ANGEL: Yeah, word of mouth, I guess, got around that I'm back. (RE: weapons) You think I should keep these alphabetical, or rearrange them by how much damage they inflict?

LORNE: Damage. Nomenclature goes out the portal when, uh, hacking's afoot.

ANGEL: Still, good to know what you're using. I mean, what if I'm fighting a Glurgg, and I ask for a Khopesh to finish him off. What would you throw me?

LORNE: Uh, a towel. Glurggs are 90% pus. Yeah, uh, not speaking of sticky fluids, maybe we should get some help around the office. A certain somebody with a good understanding of higher dimensions. And could tell me what got hoovered out of my head. Um, name starts with a C.

ANGEL: (looks up) Connor.

LORNE: No, I was leaning more towards a perky love muffin, but—Oh. (sees that Connor has walked into the lobby)

ANGEL: Hey.

CONNOR: Hey.

ANGEL: It's OK. The spell wore off. Thanks for not letting me hurt Cordy.

CONNOR: Well, I don't know, she probably would've staked you. She's pretty tough.

ANGEL: Yeah, she is.

CONNOR: She's staying with me now. You know that, right?

ANGEL: Yeah, that's good. She needs a place she can feel safe. Give her a chance to work things out. A couple of days, everything'll be back to the way it was.

CONNOR: You should talk to her.

LORNE: Oh, hallelujah.

ANGEL: Now's not a good time. After everything she's been through, the last thing she needs—

CONNOR: Dad, please?
