Angel to Wes: Well, you know, we can't save everybody, and we can't sweat the small stuff.

WESLEY: Angel. There's been another fatality in Funville.

ANGEL: What?

WESLEY: That abandoned amusement park downtown? Third victim in as many nights. Teeth marks strongly indicate a Boretz demon.

(Illyria and Spike are in the lobby now and walk up to Wesley and Angel.)

SPIKE: Oh, bloody Boretz. Nasty buggers. Stink to high heaven. Dress as transients to prey on the homeless, poor sods.

(Illyria, staying a few steps back, stares at Wesley, who ignores her)

WESLEY: This last victim was a teenage girl. A runaway. She was ripped apart.

ANGEL: (shrugs) Well, there's not much we can do about it now, huh?

(turns back toward his office)

WESLEY: Angel, we need to find this demon and destroy it before--

ANGEL: Somebody else dies? Yeah. I know, Wes. People are dying every day all over. This girl is just one more statistic.

WESLEY: Stacey. The statistic's name was Stacey Bluth.

ANGEL: Well, you know, we can't save everybody, and we can't sweat the small stuff.

WESLEY: Small?

ANGEL: Wes, I got a United States senator waiting for me, so just find out whatever you can about this Boretz thing and we'll talk later, OK? (walks away)

WESLEY: Small stuff?

SPIKE: Listen, you need some Boretz killing done, I'll have a go. I haven't had a decent tussle since the blue meanie and I stopped sparring.

WESLEY: Yes. All right. Call me if you find anything. I'll be in my office learning what I can. (walks away)

ILLYRIA: (hurt) He showed no regard for my presence.

SPIKE: Not that you require any creature's attention. Hey, wanna go find something to hit?
