(Fred's parents walk off the elevator.)

LORNE: Burkles!

ROGER: See? I told you they would remember us.

TRISH: Guess we do make an impression.

WESLEY: (gruffly) Why are you here? (catches himself, and softens up) I mean, what?

ROGER: Hawaii.

TRISH: Been savin' up for years.

ROGER: Thought we'd take a layover and surprise Fred. Uh, know where we can find her?

WESLEY: (beat) Step into my office.

(While Wesley leads Fred's parents into his office, Illyria watches from the balcony upstairs.)

(...)

ROGER: Gotta say this is a step up from where you boys used to hang your hat.

TRISH: Ooh, a couple of steps.

WESLEY: Yes, we--

ROGER: Uh, you know, we didn't wanna say anything, but we were a little worried about that old hotel.

TRISH: Seemed a little run-down.

ROGER: But Fred called it home, so we just kept our mouths shut.

TRISH: Girl reaches a certain age, she's earned the right to make her own decisions.

ROGER: Which with Fred was around 7, wasn't it? (Mrs. Burkle laughs)

WESLEY: Mr. and Mrs. Burkle?

TRISH: Please.

ROGER: Roger and Trish.

TRISH: The way she goes on about y'all, well, it feels like we're practically family.

ROGER: So where is that prodigal daughter? out saving the world with that nice Angel fella?

WESLEY: Roger, Trish. There's something you need to know. (takes a deep breath) Fred?

ILLYRIA: (as Fred) Mom?

(Illyria enters, looking and sounding exactly like Fred)

ROGER: Well! There she is now.

ILLYRIA: (as Fred) Dad! Oh, my God. What are y'all doing here?

(runs to hug her parents)

ROGER: Sweetie.

TRISH: Sight for sore eyes.

ROGER: Oh, you look great!

(Wesley stares incredulously.)
