WESLEY: It's inspiring to see you like this. The initiative you've shown in training with Angel. Taking responsibility. I'm proud of you.

CORDELIA: Well, never hurts to be prepared.

WESLEY: Hm. I agree. We should all be battle ready. Every one of us.

GUNN: (from the other room, playing video games with Angel) Dead! So dead! So very, very dead. Just how dead are you, huh?

ANGEL: (from the other room) I'm tired of being the dead one.

WESLEY: I was thinking, perhaps I'd enter into a similar training arrangement with our Fred.

CORDELIA: Oh, hey, if you think she can help you fight, why not? I'm kidding. - Wesley, if you wanna get to know Fred better, maybe the next time you have her over for an intimate dinner for two, you won't ask the rest of us to come along.

WESLEY: Ah, I don't... I mean... (Cordy gives him a look) Was I *that* obvious?

GUNN: (from the other room) Yes! Ha, ha!

CORDELIA: (whispers) I don't think anybody else noticed.

WESLEY: She is a rather extraordinary young woman. - Still, the last thing any of us should be doing is - coupling - with each other, I mean. Office romances, even under the most *normal* circumstances...

CORDELIA: We don't live in normal circumstances. - I mean, what are the odds of any of us actually finding someone out there who can deal with the kind of stuff we have to deal with? I don't know. Maybe we *are* meant...

WESLEY: For each other?

CORDELIA: Actually I was gonna say 'to be alone.' But what the heck - Wesley, if you like her, *tell* her. Just go right up to her and (hit by a vision) hug her into little pieces.
