(Cordelia smashes into Lorne)

CORDELIA: Get off me.

LORNE: I'm getting. I'm getting. Just stop the clobbering.

ANGEL: Cordelia, stop. Stop. It's OK. It's OK. He's with us.

LORNE: Hey, if this was about that missing lingerie, that was for a friend.

CORDELIA: Tell me that this is Halloween, and he isn't what I think he is.

LORNE: Trick or treat.

FRED: Don't you remember Lorne? You two are old buddies.

GUNN: Yeah, you, uh, wanna know why we call him Lorne?

CORDELIA: What I want is answers, and I want 'em now, mister!

ANGEL: OK. Maybe we haven't been a hundred percent... honest because, well, we were afraid the truth would scare you.

CORDELIA: Yeah, and the lying and deceit have been so comforting.

ANGEL: You're right. Our mistake. I think it's time we came clean. About everything.

(...)

CORDELIA: That's... everything? It all makes perfect sense now. I was a cheerleader, a princess and a warrior. And I have visions and super powers and I'm the target of an evil law firm because I've spent the last three months living on a higher plane, fighting for the forces of good, who wage a battle against demons and evilies and squishy bug babies, 'cause all that stuff's real and that's the world I live in. And I think I know why I don't remember any of this 'cause, hey— who'd want to!

LORNE: Um, sea breeze?

ANGEL: I know it's a lot to take in.

CORDELIA: Says the vampire with a soul and his wacky gang of sidekicks.

GUNN: Um, not a sidekick.

ANGEL: I think there's a way we might be able to sort this out. Pick a song.

CORDELIA: Yeah— What?

FRED: So Lorne can read you.

GUNN: You sing, he sees your future.

ANGEL: Hopefully he'll be able to explain what's happened and how we can get your memory back.

CORDELIA: I can't just sing. I-I don't even know if I'm even musical. Am I?

GUNN: Sure? You remember any songs?

CORDELIA: W-well, there's so many. How do I pick?

ANGEL: It doesn't really matter. I'm kinda a ballad man myself, but, uh... just pick anything.

CORDELIA: (singing poorly) Because the greatest love of all is happening to me. I've found the greatest love of all inside of me. The greatest love of all is easy to achieve. Learning to love yourself—

FRED: (re Lorne) Does he look a little green to you... I mean, more than usual?

LORNE: (interrupting Cordy) Uh, great, enough. OK! You were great. (backs toward the door)You were great. E-everything's great. We're all just, uh... I see, uh, a very, very, um... (leaves the room)

CORDELIA: Was I really that bad?

ANGEL: Wasn't you. It was... the song. It reminds him of... um... (leaves, following Lorne)

CORDELIA: Oh, come on! You guys aren't even good liars. This is ridiculous.

GUNN: Where you going?

CORDELIA: Out. Away. Does it matter?

FRED: But it's not safe.

CORDELIA: Oh, right, 'cause of evil ninja law firm.

GUNN: We'll come with, just in case.

CORDELIA: You keep telling me I was a higher being. Don't make me turn you into a rat. (slams door)

GUNN: Can she do that?

FRED: Um... come on.

(they follow)

FRED: (to Cordelia) How 'bout a sandwich. Let's go to the kitchen.

GUNN: We have cookies.

CORDELIA: I don't want a sandwich. I don't want cookies. I wanna talk to Angel, sans sidekicks. (walks off)

GUNN: I am not a sidekick.
