ANGEL: Looks like good gruel.

CRIBB: Who the hell are you?

ANGEL: I’m Angel.

CRIBB: What you are is a soon to be dead slave. - Shut up!

(Cribb uses his super-tongue to steal Mellish's food)

MELLISH: Cribb, that’s mine.

CRIBB: And now it’s mine.

ANGEL: Give it back to him.

CRIBB: You open your mouth again, I’ll close it for good.

ANGEL: I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

CRIBB: Angel, guess how many vampires I’ve killed.

(Angel looks up at Cribb. A couple guards come closer, charging up their cattle prods. Angel reaches over and slides the bowl back in front of Mellish. )

CRIBB: Catch ya later.

(Later the demon with the bowl walks up to Angel. )

MELLISH: Why did you do that?

ANGEL: You’re welcome.

MELLISH: I can fight my own battles. I got two wins already.

ANGEL: So all you need is what? Another 19 and you’re out of here?

MELLISH: Yeah, that’s right. You think I can’t cut it? You want a piece of me?

ANGEL: No. Not really.

MELLISH: What’s wrong with you? Don’t be rocking the boat. This is life and death in here.

JACK: Alright, girls, listen up. Here's tonight’s card. Lasovik, you’re fighting Baker.

DARIN: Trepkos, you’re the main event. You’ll go against Mellish.

(Mellish drops his bowl.)

Cribb: That’s not a match-up. It’s an execution.

JACK: Shut your trap, slave. No one’s talking to you.

DARIN: After he kills Mellish we’ll put him up against Kafka for Saturday’s fight.

MELLISH: (to Trepkos) I’m walking out of there tonight. You better know that.

(Suddenly one of the demons launches himself across the room crosses the red line and disintegrates.)

JACK: Damn it! We paid good money for that one.

DARIN: It’s alright. It’s an object lesson for the others. We’ll have to find a replacement for his bout.

JACK: (re Angel) How about Captain America here?
