ANGEL: Ooh, aren't we just the scary serial vamps - with the spooky lair -and the taking of trophies of our victims?

(Angel picks up some of the stuff (like watches, wallets, purses, etc) on one of the tables then drops it back down.)

ANGEL: Lame.

(Angel hears someone coming. He attacks the vamp, they fight, he picks up a broken table leg)

ANGEL: Next time you hit the yard sales, I'd avoid the wooden furniture.

(Angel stakes the vamp)

ANGEL: I hear Wicker is nice.

(Angel gets up to see two other vamps standing there.)

ANGEL: Oh, great. Two more.

VAMP 1: Dibs on the coat.

(cut to Angel walking back into Harlan Elsters office. The real Harlan Elster is looking through some papers.)

ANGEL: Excuse me.

ELSTER: What do you want?

ANGEL: I-I'm looking for Harlan Elster?

ELSTER: I'm Harlan Elster.

ANGEL: That's bad.

ELSTER: How's that bad?

ANGEL: Well, because the Harlan Elster I'm looking for (pulls out the check) gave me this.

(Elster steps up to take a closer look at it, then points at his chin.)

ELSTER: Really. Well, he gave me this. At least mine's real. The man who forged my name, about your height, less beat up?

ANGEL: Yeah, that's him.

ELSTER: Sam Ryan. Used to work for me. Press Foreman. Fired him six months ago. He kept coming to me to bankroll his kooky scheme.

ANGEL: Kooky scheme?

ELSTER: The guy's been a little bit off his nut ever since he lost his friend. Wanted me to pay some charlatan ghostbuster to clean out an abandoned rathole in midtown. He was convinced *vampires* were nesting there. Some people would take advantage of a guy like that.

ANGEL: Yeah. Yeah.

ELSTER: Immortal creatures living in a rat infested building, guarding their treasure. Right.

ANGEL: Treasure?
