CORDELIA: Pay attention! All we have to do is decide what the code will be.

ANGEL: Code?

CORDY: For the security system we just had installed. Hello? What have we been talking about anyway?

ANGEL: I don’t...

CORDELIA: Come on. The installation guy said it should be something easy to remember, like - my birthday.

ANGEL: I don’t know your birthday.

CORDELIA: Yeah, tell me something you don’t know that I *don’t* know. But after 11 and ½ months of punching it into this, you won’t have any excuses.

ANGEL: (to Wesley, entering with books) Did you identify it?

WESLEY: I believe so. (Shows him a picture) Uh, would *that* be the demon you encountered this morning?

ANGEL: Yeah, that’s him.

WESLEY: Her, actually. It’s a Kwaini. They’re always female.

ANGEL: Okay, what’s it say about disposal methods?

WESLEY: Oh, it should be relatively standard. Burial on virgin soil, simple Latinate incantation – however...

ANGEL: What?

WESLEY: Well, it’s curious. According to everything I could find, Kwaini is a peaceful, balancing demon. Non-violent.

ANGEL: Non-violent. No. Ha. This thing was a fighter.

WESLEY: Not if it’s a Kwaini is wasn’t, at least not a fighter by nature. They’re incredibly articulate, gentle creatures not even capable of the kind of power and strength you described.

CORDELIA: Maybe it was just having a bad skanky-rag day.

ANGEL: Something set it off. That’s for sure.

WESLEY: Clearly.

ANGEL: Alright. So forgetting for the moment whether this thing should have been able to fight as well as it did, what would make a peaceful, balancing demon attack a train-full of Los Angeles commuters in the first place?

WESLEY: Something on the train, perhaps?

ANGEL: Or someone.
