(Cordy and Wesley are hovering around the closed door leading down into the Hyperion's basement.)

CORDELIA: Don't you think we should check on him? He's been in that cellar a long time.

WESLEY: I keep hearing a 'chucka-chucka' sound. What's he doing down there?

CORDELIA: How should I know? He barely says 'good morning' and 'get me a glass of blood' anymore.

WESLEY: I know. He's just so distraught about...

CORDELIA: Don't say Darla! I am sick and tired of hearing about Darla. If I hear the name Darla one more time - And he is not distraught, he's obsessed! And I thought you were gonna be a man and talk to him about this!

WESLEY: I was a man! I said - things.

CORDELIA: Like what?

WESLEY: Like - did he prefer milk or sugar in his tea. It's how men talk about things in England.

CORDELIA: Shh! Listen. It stopped.

WESLEY: He's coming!

(Both of them run away from the basement door.)

ANGEL: Hi, guys. What's up?

CORDELIA: Nothing. - So, you were - doing your laundry?

ANGEL (folding his laundry): Yeah. There is an old washer and dryer in the cellar. (Holds one piece up to his face) Hmm, don't you just love it when they're still warm from the dryer? (Shakes it out and looks at it) Wrinkle free - right, after you iron it for about 15 minutes!

WESLEY: It's good to see you taking a domestic tack.

CORDELIA: Yeah, you seem all calm and homey. - Are you on drugs?

ANGEL: I know I've caused you a lot of grief about this whole Darla situation - and I apologize. Darla may never need my help. All I can do is be there for her if and when she decides to come around. - But I can't do it for her, and I know that now.

WESLEY: (smiles at CORDELIA) We had tea.

ANGEL: In the meantime, there's nothing I can do but - let go.

GUNN: (bursts in holding a file) I found Darla. It wasn't easy, but you said to keep looking and my wide-ranging knowledge of L.A.'s low-rent hotels finally paid off.

CORDY: (to Angel) You lied to us!

ANGEL: I did. I know.

WESLEY: Why?

ANGEL: I figured you'd nag.

(Cordy and Wesley exchange a look)

ANGEL: The Royal Viking Motel.

GUNN: Conveniently located mere steps from scenic skid row. I guess she's not living off Wolfram and Hart no more.

ANGEL: They'll be looking for her, too.

GUNN: What do you think they'll do if they find her?

ANGEL: Well, let's get there first and not find out.

(Angel grabs his coat and walks towards the door, Gunn following.)

CORDELIA: Listen up, Mister! If you expect us to go with you on some wild goose chase, then guess again! We're not going to enable you in your addiction!

WESLEY: Didn't we learn anything from the tea?
