ANGEL: Hey, Merl.

MERL: Jesus, man! I mean, can't you, you know, knock?

ANGEL: You don't make that funny expression when I knock, or if you do I don't see it. What are you doing?

MERL: Packing.

ANGEL: You're not going anywhere.

MERL: Oh, yes I am, as in far, as in now.

ANGEL: Who's gonna tell me all the fun facts about my friends?

MERL: Big meeting tomorrow night, some top-level Wolfram and Hart brass. I think it's a new demon account. 9:30, Diaghilev, that concludes my career as professional informant. All right? Consider it a - a freebie. Just like every other bit of information I've ever given you.

ANGEL: Nine thirty.

MERL: Tomorrow night. Best of luck. Hope you bust that evil law firm wide open.

ANGEL: Well, why the rush to relocate?

MERL: Well, lets see, there is, uhm, *you* and there's every other crook and monster in this town that thinks they can just waltz in here and pound me til they get information, without paying either. I mean at least that British guy understood what a working relationship was, had some respect. *You* don't care about anyone but yourself.

ANGEL: I really don't think that you're in a position to judge...

MERL: How is old Wesley, huh? - Or the other two you fired? They doing alright? Oh, gee, let me guess. You never even bothered to check.

ANGEL: This had better pan out.

MERL: Nine thirty at Diaghilev. Pleasure doing business with you.
