GUNN: You sign this, we're all set to turn McManus' body over to his family. They've made arrangements to transport his body back to...(realizes Angel's not paying attention to him) the North Pole. Turns out he had a close personal relationship with Santa. Angel?

ANGEL: What? Uh, I'm with you. Turning over the... Santa?

GUNN: Angel, you saved that girl's life. If you hadn't gotten there when you did—

ANGEL: The werewolf would've killed her. I know. Doesn't change what she's gonna have to go through.

GUNN: Well, that part sucks, no doubt, but... you did everything you could.

ANGEL: You know what, Gunn? Don't need a pep talk right now. Just do your job.

GUNN: (ticked) Right. I'll just go do that... someplace else. (exits)

LORNE: (walks in) Whoa! Watch it there! Just passing by and got splashed with a heap of grouchy. Got to tell you, Angelkins, that extra weight is not looking so good on you.

(Angel looks down at his belly)

LORNE: I'm talking about psychic pounds, pumpkin. Why don't you consider me the Jenny Craig for the soul, huh? So let's hear it.

ANGEL: I'm not gonna sing.

LORNE: Couldn't bear it if you did. No, it's talking you need... or maybe a shoulder to—

ANGEL: I'm not gonna cry either.

LORNE: I was going to a leaning place. OK, Atlas, how about a shrug? Look, so you got the weight of the world. It's a burden, sure, but breaking news it ain't.

ANGEL: Listen, Lorne, this isn't a good time.

LORNE: No...No, it never is. Spike showing up your first day in the Wolfram & Hart saddle took the jolly right out of the rancher. We've been feeling it ever since, Angelcakes.

ANGEL: OK, so it's no secret. I don't like the guy.

LORNE: Like him, don't like him, that's up to you. You know, you're fighting so many enemies around you, Angel, your punches are getting sloppy, and *we've* got the bruises to prove it. We're operating in unfriendly territory, champ. I don't want you to forget about the people covering your back.
