CORDELIA: Uh, look at all these bills: water, and power, oh and my perennial favourite - the rent. What am I missing?

DOYLE: Not a thing I can see.

CORDELIA: Doyle, try to pay attention.

DOYLE: I am paying attention, princess. We just need the income to pay for the outgo around here.

CORDELIA: Exactly! You know? This is a business and we need to start running it like one. We *should* be charging. I know Angel's been working day and night to help people fight their personal demons, but I need a raise.

DOYLE: A raise? You?ve been working for him for what, like 20 minutes?

CORDELIA: A month, and I have needs.

DOYLE: Needs.

CORDELIA: A person needs certain, designer, things.

DOYLE: Personally I don?t think you need much in the way of clothes. But you are right, and I do agree. Angel needs to start charging. He just hates bringing up the finances with the clients. He likes playing the hero, - walking off into the dark, his long coat flowing behind him in that mysterious and attractive way.

CORDELIA: Is this a private moment? 'cause I can leave you alone.

DOYLE: No, no, I?m not saying *I?m* attracted. I?m just saying he projects a certain kind of image and asking for money isn?t part of it. He?s sensitive about that.

(elevator opens)

CORDELIA: Oh, here he comes. Ok, we?re going to stand up to him.

DOYLE: Yup, we?re standing up.

CORDELIA: Just as soon as he?s had his coffee.

DOYLE: Right.

ANGEL: Morning.

DOYLE and CORDELIA: Morning.

ANGEL: (drinks) What is this?

CORDELIA: Last week's coffee. Think of it as Espresso.

ANGEL: I think my oesophagus is melting.

DOYLE: Sure been making us proud these last few weeks fighting the evil and all that.

CORDELIA: Yeah, you?ve been fantastic! Saving people left and right?

ANGEL: I?m not comfortable asking people for money.

CORDELIA: Then get over it! I mean that in a sensitive way.

DOYLE: Look, bud, I know it?s not your favorite thing, but you?ve got to do what?s right.

ANGEL: You think it?s right to ask people in trouble for money.

DOYLE: No.

ANGEL: So we agree.

DOYLE: No.

ANGEL: We don?t agree.

CORDELIA: Make up your mind, will you? (Doyle is hit with a vision) Doyle? Oh-oh, vision fit approaching.

DOYLE: Pen. Paper. Single malt scotch.

ANGEL: What did you see?

DOYLE: Melissa Burns, works at Pardell Paper products.

CORDELIA: (flips through phone book) Melissa Burns.

ANGEL: How did she look?

DOYLE: Better than me. (drinks ) This ain?t single malt ? it?s... polymalt!

CORDELIA: Okay, Pardell Paper Products. 200 Wilshire Boulevard.

ANGEL: I guess I?m going to work.

(Doyle watches him leave office -- in slow motion -- his coat flowing behind him. )

DOYLE: Maybe I?m a little attracted.
