FRED: I don't get it. I've run its stats through every possible database, cross-checked against prophecies, and still come up with squat. How can a creature with that much firepower not leave behind some kind of parchment trail?

GUNN: There is a trail. The problem is the trail guide was drawn by a crack-head. (someone walks in through the front door, Fred and Gunn turn to see Cordelia) Hey, Cordelia, you guys survive the night all right?

CORDELIA: Yeah, you know, it was, uh—

FRED: Scary, nasty and nervous making?

CORDELIA: The sky should not be made of fire. Angel around?

FRED: Hibernating in his cave.

(... in Angel's office...)

CORDELIA: You have a minute? I was hoping we could...talk. About, uh, well, about Connor.

ANGEL: I already know.

CORDELIA: You do? Really. Well then you're handling it a lot better than me.

ANGEL: Can we not do this right now?

CORDELIA: Listen up, daddy dearest. The fact that this hell beast you're all looking for crawled up out of the ground in the exact spot where your son was born seems precisely what we should be talking about right now.

ANGEL: Same spot? Really?

CORDELIA: You said you already knew.

ANGEL: Of course I knew. Doesn't mean anything. Could just be a, you know—

CORDELIA: Coincidence.

ANGEL: Strange things happen.

CORDELIA: Like a vampire giving birth? Oh wait, that thing happened in the exact same spot too.

ANGEL: What are you— You think Connor's connected to this evil thing?

CORDELIA: Me? God, no. He's a sweetie pie.

ANGEL: Then why're you telling me?

CORDELIA: Because your son stormed out this morning, and he really does believe it.
