LORNE: It's OK, Faith. It's OK. You just wait. They'll get Angel back, and... (trying to convince himself) it'll all be worth it. It'll all—

(Faith finds herself in a dark alley full of trash.)

ANGELUS: It'll all be worth it. Is that what you try to tell yourself, Faithy? Is that the nastly little lie that kept those thighs nice and warm in your prison bunk?

FAITH: You kiss your mama with that mouth?

ANGELUS: No, but I ate her with it. And now for a poem. Faith goes gently into that good night. You're fading fast, baby. I can feel it.

FAITH: All the same, I hear this holler in the distance.

(back in waking world)

WILLOW: Semsa nahl eresh a'lahm!

(back in Faith's head)

FAITH: Tells me you're about to get what's coming to you.

ANGELUS: Or not. I've got friends in high places. (further down the alley, Angel stumbles around, knocking over garbage cans) Him, not being one of 'em.

(Angel grabs a rat and eats it.)

FAITH: Ugh. When is this?

ANGELUS: When isn't it? Twenty years after that stupid donut shop, and his fingers never smelled of anything but rat! I'm so sorry. I give up. I'm gonna live in a sewer!

FAITH: He's paying for what he did.

ANGELUS: He's hiding from what he is—which may be a big Psych 101 revelation for you, cupcake, but I already know this crap, so why do I have to go through it again?

ANGEL: Maybe 'cause it's not about you, jackass.
