(in an abandonned warehousy sort of place)

CORDELIA: More hooks? Great.

CONNOR: We could try to find someplace else.

CORDELIA: No. This'll do for now. Hey, it's okay. We're going to be all right.

CONNOR: I know. I just—I can't believe he tried to kill you.

CONNOR: Maybe it wasn't really Angel.

CORDELIA: Connor.

CONNOR: Angelus could've tricked us again. And—

CORDELIA: It was Angel. You know it was.

CONNOR: Everything he said about how I could help make the world a better place, about being a champion.

CORDELIA: Lies... meant to keep you in your place where he can watch you, control you.

CONNOR: But Fred, Gunn, Wesley, even Lorne—I thought they were... good.

CORDELIA: What does that mean, really? Being good? Doing the right thing? By who's judgment? Good, evil—they're just words, Connor. Concepts of morality they forced around your neck to yank you wherever they please. You're with me now. You don't have to live by their rules. You remember why?

CONNOR: (smiles) 'Cause we're special.

CORDELIA: That's right. We're special, and our baby is going to be extraordinary.

(...)

CORDELIA: He won't give up. You know that, right? He won't stop until he finds us.

CONNOR: Let him come. I can take him.

CORDELIA: Come over here. I want you to know what you're fighting for. (pulls his hand to her belly)

CONNOR: It moved.

CORDELIA: Of course it did. That's what babies do when they're happy.

CORDELIA: I can't tell you how thankful I am that I found someone like you. I just wish they could let us be happy.

CONNOR: I'll make them.

CORDELIA: You can't. They're too afraid. But maybe when they see how beautiful our baby is...

CONNOR: You think that would change how they feel?

CORDELIA: Our baby's going to change everything, Connor.

CONNOR: How soon... before we can show them?

CORDELIA: A week? Maybe two? But he'll find us before that. I know he will. He'll find us and he'll—

CONNOR: I won't let him. I promise.

CORDELIA: I don't want you killing each other. That's never what I wanted. Maybe there's another way. A way to bring our baby into the world now—before anyone else can hurt us.

CONNOR: How?

CORDELIA: I'll need some very special things. Do you think you can get them for me?
