Roger Burkle: So where is that prodigal daughter? Out saving the world with that nice Angel fella? from The Girl In Question (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
(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.)
