captures from this scene

(Angel's in bed, sleeping feverishly)

FRED: Angel. You look terrible.

ANGEL: Fred. I think something's wrong.

FRED: OK. OK, don't worry. I know what to do.

(she turns away, then turns back with a surgical glove on her hand, snapping it)

FRED: Let's take a look under the hood.

(the scenery shifts, and Angel's bed is now located in Fred's lab)

ANGEL: What? Fred? What are you doing?

FRED: (grabbing a shiny scalpel) It's OK.

ANGEL: Please...ah!

(Fred touches the scalpel to Angel's chest, cutting it open)

ANGEL: Ah! Aah! Aah!

FRED: Hmm. There. That wasn't so bad, was it? OK. Let's get these out of the way.

ANGEL: Please, stop.

(Fred starts reaching inside Angel, pulling things out. Starting with a few fake looking internal organs.)

FRED: There's your liver. Oh, there's your kidneys. Oh, don't worry. You're a vampire. You don't need this stuff anyway. Probably should've had it removed a long time ago. (spots something) Oop. (rummages around) Ah! (pulls out a walnut in its shell) There's your heart. Hey! What do you know? It is a dried-up little walnut.

(she tosses it casually into a bucket like the one bucket-o-lawyer came back in; Angel flinches to hear the tinny clink)

FRED: So far so good. Let's see...

(Fred reaches further into Angel, causing him to groan in pain)

FRED: Oop.

(she pulls a long strand of beads out of Angel's body, smiles, puts the pearl-like necklace around her neck, continues to search while Angel groans; inspects something small and black she pulled out of his body)

FRED: Raisins. (eats one of the raisins) Unh!

(pulls a piece of metal out of Angel's chest—it's a blue 1978/79 Mexican license plate with yellow letters HUZ 332)

FRED: Hmm. Came up the gulf stream, huh?

(tosses the license plate over her shoulder, and it lands on the floor with a clatter; reaches in Angel's body again)

FRED: Oh. Hang on. Oh.

(as Angel gasps, Fred pulls a fishbowl half-filled with water out of him; it has a dead goldfish floating in it.)

FRED: There's your soul! (notices the dead fish) Ooh. We're gonna have to flush this. Unh.

(she turns, hands the fishbowl to a man in a bear suit who's standing behind her)

FRED: Thank you, Bear.

(turns back to Angel, peering inside him)

FRED: Huh!

ANGEL: (nervously) What's wrong?

FRED: Nothing. I can't seem to find anything wrong with you. I mean... ...except that you're empty. There's nothing left. Just a shell.

(she puts her ear to his chest)

ANGEL: I think I can hear the ocean in there. (calls, listening for the echo) Hello? Hello!
