GUNN: So, I guess I'm the muscle, huh?

WESLEY: Sorry?

GUNN: Angel's the man on the card. It's his world. I'm not a leader no more. Don't got that champion's heart like Cordy. And the brains—that was you. So that leaves muscle.

WESLEY: What about Fred?

GUNN: Well, that's the question, isn't it? She's pretty brainy too. Maybe you two are kindred souls. Maybe that's why she went to you for help getting revenge on that Professor. Killing takes brains.

WESLEY: I did what you weren't prepared to do.

GUNN: You have no idea what I've—What I would do for her.

WESLEY: Is there some reason I should need to know?

GUNN: You think I don't smell this a mile off? You think I don't know why you keep coming back here?

WESLEY: Because you keep needing my help.

GUNN: I'm gonna say this once: you move on Fred, and I'm gonna put you down hard.

WESLEY: I'm glad to see you have such faith in your relationship.

GUNN: Keep pushing, English.

WESLEY: Do you think you could get out of my way? (puts up his right hand to push Gunn away)

GUNN: (grabs Wes's hand) I don't know what—

WESLEY: (a blade springs out of his forearm contraption) Not all of us have muscle to fall back on. (retracts blade and walks away)

GUNN: What happened to you, man?

WESLEY: I had my throat cut and all my friends abandoned me.
