ANGEL: (To Lorne, while two lawyers sing a duet of Reunited) I need more.

LORNE: Well, we all need more, darlin'.

ANGEL: More information.

LORNE: What you need more of is tether. Because you're about at the end of yours.

ANGEL: Look, I get how this works. I'm not asking you to rat out their destinies. I don't care about that. But getting to the Senior Partners, that's *my* destiny.

LORNE: Is it? Because I haven't actually featured a destiny with you in it lately. It's all kind of murky. Look, all these messy rites and rituals you've been crashing all over town? They don't *mean* anything. Nervous children. Trying to score as many brownie points as they can before daddy gets home. I got news. Daddy? Not impressed. Anyhow, stopping those won't prevent 'it' from passing into our world on Friday.

ANGEL: What is 'it' and how do I stop it?

LORNE: I don't know and you don't.

ANGEL: Can it be killed?

LORNE: Most anything that can manifest in order to move in this dimension can be killed. Kinda the down side of being here. That and the so-called 'musicals' of Andrew Lloyd Webber. (With a sigh) The band of Blacknil. Don't ask me what it means. I don't know. I shouldn't even be giving you that much.

ANGEL: Thanks.

LORNE: Sure. (Angel starts to get up, but Lorne stops him.) Hey, Home office. I picked it up from half a dozen of them tonight.

ANGEL: What does it mean?

LORNE: Could be the source. Who knows. Now stop pestering me. (As Angel walks off) Oh, and I am picking up one other thing. They'd *really* like to see you dead.
