ANGEL: Sorry.

BUFFY: It's okay. I didn't see you so I should have known you were there. What are you doing here?

ANGEL: It's a dangerous time. You know, with Faith.

BUFFY: Yeah....Faith. She...well... Faith, what can ya say about her? They walk together.

ANGEL: I just wanna make sure you're, you know, ok. That you're, safe.

BUFFY: And the fact that you're right here, does that mean Faith's around? Are you keeping me safe by tracking me, or are you tracking her?

ANGEL: I'm tracking you. Something's bothering you.

BUFFY: A lot of things. The most recent being this demon. Actually, two. I touched one of them and now I'm gonna get a big case of the bumpies, or a tail, or something.

ANGEL: An aspect of the demon.

BUFFY: You know the drill.

ANGEL: By rumor. That doesn't mean anything. I mean, sometimes demons, they just exagerate their power.

BUFFY: Demon hype. Maybe not. I spend all my time in the dark here anyway. It's not like I'd be at a game you know with my friends where someone could see me and my new monster part.

ANGEL: Hey, I won't let anything happen to you if I can help it. No matter what, I'll always be with you. Hey, I'll love you even if you're covered with slime.

BUFFY: I liked everything until that part.
