WESLEY: I know it's dangerous. I don't care. - You're a wizard.

(Wes is on the phone at his desk looking down on The Father will kill The Son on his notepad.)

WESLEY: Because it's the right thing to do. (listens) Then because I'm paying you an obscene amount of money. Just do it, and call me back.

(Wes hangs up the phone. Fred bounces in the door, smiling.)

FRED: Hey. Wes?

WESLEY: What is it?

FRED: I'm sorry. You're busy. I'll come back.

WES: What can I do for you?

FRED: Nothing. Uhm, - I just wanted to compliment you, that's all. You were really there for that woman, Aubrey, who lost her kid at the pier.

WES: (flattered) Thank you.

FRED: And working so hard, staring at all those books. And as a book-starer myself I know how crazy making that can be. You should get out of here for a while. Go for a walk. You deserve it. I was thinking: maybe you could call Aubrey. She is real attractive and her paperwork says she's single. She probably needs a friend.

WES: (not looking at Fred) Fred, we're not here to date. We're here to do a job. Now why don't you go to the pier and do your job.

(Fred looks at Wes for a moment then turns and quietly walks out of his office.)
