(The door to a dark apartment breaks open to reveal Angel and Gunn in the hallway outside of it.)

GUNN: (walking in) Knock, knock. See, this works great. You break, I enter.

ANGEL: As long as this guy is still alive I can't enter.

GUNN: The guy is on the critical list. Your girl must be pretty scary. (Looks around) You see what I'm seeing here?

ANGEL: (craning to see through the open door) Doesn't exactly fit the thug-in-the-alley profile.

GUNN: No, word on this guy was muscle-for-hire. Not cheap neither.

ANGEL: So he was *sent* after Bethany.

GUNN: Somebody wanted her hurt.

ANGEL: Or wanted to find out what would happen if somebody tried. (Leans against the invisible barrier) Hey, look for an address book. You know, checks, statements.

GUNN: I'm still dealing with this man's ugly-ass living room set. Some people just shouldn't have money.

ANGEL: On the subject of money. How would you feel, maybe, you know, on a -- case by case basis?

GUNN: Are you offering to pay me for helping you?

ANGEL: Yeah.

GUNN: Cool.

(Angel lands on the floor of the apartment as the barrier suddenly disappears.)

GUNN: You're a very graceful man, have I ever mentioned that?

ANGEL: I guess someone's off the critical list.

GUNN: Rapist-for-hire, see me crying?

(Angel hits the redial button on the speakerphone, and it's picked up.)

VOICE: Wolfram and Hart -- how may I direct your call?
