GILES: A vampire casts no reflection.

ANGEL: Don't worry. I'm not here to eat.

GILES: Buffy told me you don't feed from humans anymore.

ANGEL: Not for a long while.

GILES: Is that why you're here? To see her?

ANGEL: I can't. It's, uh... It's too hard for me to be around her.

GILES: A vampire in love with a Slayer! It's rather poetic! In a maudlin sort of way. What can I, uh... What can I do for you?

ANGEL: I know you've been researching the Master.

GILES: Yes, the vampire king. I've tried to learn as much as I can about him for the day that Buffy must face him.

ANGEL: Something's already in motion, something big, but I don't know what. You've read all the Slayer lore there is, right?

GILES: I-I've studied all the extant volumes, of course. But the, uh, most salient books of Slayer prophecy have been lost. The Tiberius Manifesto, the Pergamum Codex...

ANGEL: The Codex?

GILES: It's reputed to have contained the most complete prophecies about the Slayer's role in the end years. Unfortunately, the book was lost in the 15th century.

ANGEL: Not lost. Misplaced. I can get it.

GILES: That would be most helpful! Uh, m-my own volumes have... been rather useless of late.

ANGEL: Legends of Vishnu?

GILES: (a bit embarrassed) There's an... invisible girl terrorizing the school.

ANGEL: That's not really my area of expertise.

GILES: Nor mine, I'm afraid. Uh, it's fascinating, though. By all accounts it's a, a... a wonderful power to possess.

ANGEL: Oh, I don't know. Looking in the mirror everyday and seeing nothing there. It's an overrated pleasure.
