(Gunn tranqs Angelus, Lilah takes off)

GUNN: (to Wesley) Lilah—ran off into the sewers. Connor, wait. You should wait here, make sure it isn't a setup. Might be others. Check the locks. What kind of brain fart made that witch try and let Angelus out?

CORDELIA: I want to know how she even knew he was here.

CONNOR: Maybe she took Angel's soul.

GUNN: She's a muckety-muck at Wolfram and Hart. It's her job to know.

FRED: I thought the Beast killed everyone at Wolfram and Hart.

GUNN: Maybe she cut some kind of deal with it.

CONNOR: You really think she has a connection to the Beast?

(...)

GUNN: Lilah or not, something is doing the Beast's dirty work.

CORDELIA: It would explain how giant lava boy could tiptoe past us to take out Manny.

CONNOR: And butcher that family, those priestesses.

FRED: Even though Lilah's evil, I don't see her hacking up all those people.

GUNN: OK, maybe it's not just her. Maybe...maybe the big bad Beast had minions doing his dirty work.

ANGELUS: (wakes) Morons. The big rock doesn't have minions. It is the minion.

FRED: No, it's not. We've seen what it can do.

ANGELUS: You've just seen the warm-up act.

CORDELIA: What are you saying?

ANGELUS: I'm saying there's something bigger. Something worse. The Beast has a boss.

(commercial)

GUNN: Worse than the Beast?

CORDELIA: That's—that's not possible.

ANGELUS: How did you survive this long being so retarded?

GUNN: Cut the fu-manchu. What do you know?

ANGELUS: Quite a bit, bright boy. Maybe I'll fill in the blanks sometime.

CONNOR: How do you know there's something worse than the Beast?

ANGELUS: 'Cause I have a brain, son. The Beast I knew was big into smash and slaughter. Had the brawn to be really good at it too, but the big picture—not his strong point. But whoa! Flash forward. Now he's all rain of fire, destroying the Ra-Tet, blotting out the sun. Big moves for a guy whose head is made out of rock.

CORDELIA: Maybe he got smarter.

ANGELUS: And maybe I'll sprout some wings and flutter away. There's something else out there—more powerful, more vicious—pulling all the strings. Ooh, don't know about you, but I'm just dying to find out what it is.
