LILAH: Those two should keep Angel busy for some time.

LINDSEY: Yeah, until he kills them.

HOLLAND: Oh, I think he'll find that course of action more difficult than even *he* realizes. - Regardless, Lilah's correct. We won't have to worry about Angel anymore.

(Angel, on a rope, swings through the window, grabs Lindsey.)

ANGEL: Drusilla and Darla, where are they?

HOLLAND: Angel! I don't believe we've had the pleasure. (Offers his hand) Holland Manners.

ANGEL: I'd be careful who you offer that hand to, Mr. Manners. You might just lose it. Isn't that right, Lindsey?

LINDSEY: There's worse things to lose, aren't there?

ANGEL: So you're the one pulling the strings around here?

HOLLAND: A few of them. I am division head of Special Projects.

ANGEL: Special projects like Darla.

HOLLAND: Oh, Darla's just a tool. Means to an end. (Security guards file in and surround Angel) You're the project.

ANGEL: I can crush the life out of you before they even lift a finger.

HOLLAND: Oh, I'm sure you can. Just as sure as I am that you won't.

ANGEL: Won't I?

HOLLAND: You don't kill humans.

ANGEL: You don't qualify. You set things in motion, play your little games up here in your glass and chrome tower, and people die - innocent people.

HOLLAND: And yet I just can't seem to care. But you do. And while you're making threats, wasting time, crashing through windows, your girls are out painting the town red, red, red.

ANGEL: Where?

HOLLAND: Well, that would be telling. In any case you may want to hurry. So many lives hanging in the balance, waiting for their champion to save them.

ANGEL: Hm-mm. As if you're just gonna let me walk out of here, huh?

HOLLAND: As a matter of fact, I am. You misunderstand us, Angel. We don't want you dead - yet. If we did - you wouldn't be standing here. (to the guards) Would you please escort our guest out of the building. (to Angel) I would - walk you out myself, but I'm running a little late for a wine tasting at my home, and - just so we're clear on the matter - you're not invited.
