ANGEL: What’s hunting you?

BARNEY: I don’t know. But whoever it is, he’s unstoppable. Like a machine. Been on my tail for a few states, ever since Phoenix. Pulled out all the stops to shake him, but he keeps on coming.

ANGEL: What makes you think he means you harm?

BARNEY: I don’t think he’s tracking me down to tell me that I won the Publishers’ Clearing House. He’s an assassin.

(…)

ANGEL: Is he a demon?

BARNEY: He could be. He knows all the haunts and hangouts. It seems like wherever I go he’s just a step or two behind. You know, it’s a miracle that I have eluded him this long.

(…)

ANGEL: Why you?

BARNEY: Wh-wh-what do you mean?

ANGEL: Who are you?

BARNEY: That’s what I’m sayin’. I’m nothing. I’m a nobody. I’m just a guy trying to get by in this world. No different from anybody else!

ANGEL: Been my experience that when one is being pursued that tenaciously, it’s generally because the pursuer has a strong grievance against the pursued.

BARNEY: Uh, hey, I never said I was a Boy Scout. I’m an empath demon. I can read emotions. It gives me a slight advantage at cards, you know, Black Jack, Poker. Ooh, it’s also good for the fights.

ANGEL: So you’re a cheat.

BARNEY: I choose to think of it as going with my strengths. Look, whatever. I’m a demon. Sure, I’m evil. But, hey, I’m not, you know, Evil!

(…)

ANGEL: And you can’t think of anyone who’s got a beef with you.

BARNEY: No one! But like my old man always said: you can’t please everybody. So you gonna help me?
