(Angel enters a room at the Hyperion)

ANGEL: This one might work better. He'd have southern exposure. Not too close to my room. I don't want him to feel like I'm - hovering. But not too far. I wanna keep an eye. - What do you think?

CORDELIA: I think it's just as good as the last five we looked at. It's not about the room it's about Connor... (sighs) I still can't get used to calling him Steven.

ANGEL: Neither can I. It's what Holtz... it's what he wants to go by.

CORDELIA: Okay, Steven, Connor, whatever. But, it's about your son living here, getting to know his father.

ANGEL: I don't even own a TV. He's gonna wanna watch TV. Not too much, I mean, after homework and chores. He's gonna need clothes, weekly allowance... What's good nowadays? Fifty cents, a dollar?

CORDELIA: Yeah. If you're Tom Sawyer painting the fence.

ANGEL: See? I'm so out of touch. (Sighs) He's gonna hate me.

CORDELIA: No, he's not. He's gonna love you.

ANGEL: How do you know?

CORDELIA: Because you're you.

ANGEL: Me. A vampire.

CORDELIA: You, a vampire.

ANGEL: Who drinks blood, keeps to the shadows, and is older than everybody he knows put together.

CORDELIA: You're all those things, plus tight with a buck. But none of that matters.

ANGEL: Why not?

CORDELIA: Because you have the biggest and best heart of anyone I've ever known. He's a smart kid. He'll figure it out. It's gonna be alright.

ANGEL: You really...

CORDELIA: Aren't I? (Laughs) Feeling better, or do you need to keep looking at rooms?

ANGEL: Both.

LORNE: (entering) Hey, he can have mine.

CORDELIA: What do you mean?

LORNE: Leaving - on the midnight train to Georgia. Actually it's the nine eighteen flight to Vegas tomorrow, but where is the poetry in that?

ANGEL: Is this because of Connor? - Steven.

LORNE: This is because of me. A buddy of mine has a club just off the strip, and he needs a singer and a seer. I could maybe do a little good.

CORDELIA: Well, what about rebuilding your club here?

LORNE: That's a great idea, pixie-cat. Except every time I do, you all seem to destroy it.

CORDELIA: It was only - three times.

LORNE: You know, I got the big love here, and I'm grateful for the hospitality, but it's - it's time to move on.

ANGEL: But some of this is because of...

LORNE: The not so little nipper? I'm not gonna lie. Kid's in the mix. Clearly not loving the demon kind. And-and I know it's the way he was raised, and I loved that little baby - I just wouldn't, ah...

CORDELIA: What?

LORNE: Turn my back on him any time soon.
