(Angel's comforting Faith on the bed, shirt still unbuttoned, looks over as he hears someone come down the stairs. It's Buffy.)

ANGEL: Buffy. I didn't know you...

BUFFY: What... How... What are you doing?

ANGEL: She... we were attacked.

BUFFY: We? You and?

ANGEL: Faith.

BUFFY: You and Faith.

ANGEL: Oh, it's not what you think.

BUFFY: You actually think I can form a thought right now? Giles heard that... that she tried to kill you.

ANGEL: That's true.

BUFFY: So you decided to punish her with a severe cuddling?

ANGEL: Is that why you're here? To punish her?

BUFFY: I was worried about *you*.

FAITH: Buffy. (Buffy turns her head and glares) Oh, god.

BUFFY: (advancing) You didn't think I was gonna find you, did you?

ANGEL: Buffy, let's talk.

BUFFY: Oh, I don't think talk is in order right now.

ANGEL: She needs help.

BUFFY: Help? Do you have any idea what she did to me?

ANGEL: Yes.

BUFFY: Do you care?

ANGEL: She wants to change. She has a chance to...

BUFFY: No. No chance. Jail.

ANGEL: You think that'll help?

FAITH: Buffy... I'm sor...

BUFFY: You apologize to me and I will beat you to death.

FAITH: (lost) Go ahead.

ANGEL: (steps in front of Faith) This is not gonna happen.

BUFFY: You're gonna stop me? 'cause you're gonna have to.

FAITH: Don't do this.

ANGEL: Faith, go upstairs, now.

BUFFY: You think I'm gonna let her out of my sight?

ANGEL: Buffy, just back off.

BUFFY: There is no way I'm letting her out of my sight.

ANGEL: Faith, go!

BUFFY: Don't you move a...

(she goes to stop Faith, Angel stops her, she punches him, goes to hit him again but he blocks and punches her. Then looks all hurt and shocked.)

ANGEL: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

(...)

ANGEL: She's not gonna run, Buffy.

BUFFY: Well, why would she? When she has her brave knight to protect her? Got you. Does she cry? Pouty lips, heaving bosom? I thought you needed help.

ANGEL: You think I wanted this to happen?

BUFFY: You hit me.

ANGEL: Not to go all schoolyard on you, but you hit me first. And in case you've forgotten, you're a little bit stronger than I am.

BUFFY: You did it for *her*.

ANGEL: You were about three seconds from making her run, you know that. She's at a crucial stage...

BUFFY: She's playing you! She tried to kill you!

ANGEL: That was just... that was just a cry for help.

BUFFY: A cry for help is when you say 'help' in a loud voice.

ANGEL: I know Faith did some bad things to you.

BUFFY: You can't possibly know.

ANGEL: You can't possibly know what she's going through.

BUFFY: But of course, you do? I'm sorry. I can't be in your club. I've never murdered anybody.
