MELISSA: You know you really don?t have to stay with me all day.

DOYLE: Ah, protect and serve. It?s entirely my bag. If I?m not in the way.

MELISSA: Oh, no. I like it. As long as you?re not bored.

DOYLE: No, no. I?m good. I got the word jumble right here to keep me occupied, sadly, for most of the day.

MELISSA: I do feel better having you all on the case. I guess Angel's handled a lot of cases like this.

DOYLE: Dozens. Hundreds. Dozens of hundreds.

MELISSA: It happens that often?

DOYLE: Well, exactly like yours? Not quite so many. But protecting young women such as yourself? Yeah, there?s been, ah, four. And three of them are very much alive. (he points at picture on desk) Is that you?

MELISSA: Ah, yeah. Bungee jumping.

DOYLE: I?ve always meant to do that, but I intensely don?t want to, so I haven?t gotten around to it yet.

MELISSA: It?s fun. Scary.

DOYLE: You don?t seem like the thrill seeker type.

MELISSA: Well, I used.. I used to do a lot of things, you know, before?

DOYLE: Don?t you worry. When Angel's finished with this case I guarantee you?ll be wanting to jump off a bridge again.
