GUNN: (Checking back of Stephanie's head) Well, I don't see anything.

WESLEY: (in a wheelchair) Not a trace.

CORDELIA: (To Francine) When she goes back to school the other kids will never even notice that there was a third eye growing back there. (Pats Stephanie's head) And this should come back in before you know it.

FRANCINE: What?

CORDELIA: The hair? The... I meant the hair - that was in- in the back - there... Not the third eye! Because that won't come back. (Aside to Wesley) Right?

WESLEY: No reason it should. (Hands Stephanie a sucker) The curative charm seems to have worked - like a charm, really.

FRANCINE: We can't thank you.

WESLEY: Oh, don't give it another thought.

GUNN: It's what we do.

CORDELIA: Kind of a mission.

FRANCINE: No, I mean, we *can't* thank you - and we can't pay you either. (Holds up a piece of paper) This bill is ridiculous.

CORDELIA: What do you mean? We didn't even charge you for the mandrake.

FRANCINE: My husband says it's outrageous.

WESLEY: Does he? And just what would your husband consider to be a fair price for the removal of the third eye from the back of your child's head, Mrs. Sharp?

FRANCINE: Well - nothing. - Steve says that since it's impossible to be bitten by a demon and have a - third eye grow in the back of one's head, that obviously you people are running some sort of scam, and you won't squeeze one red cent out of us. (Grabs her daughter's hand) Come on, Stephanie.

CORDELIA: Scam? The back of your kid's head was blinking!

WESLEY: No, let her go. Clearly it's easier for the Sharps to cast us as con artists rather than to accept the grim reality that Skilosh spawn nearly hatched full grown out of their child's skull.

GUNN: Gee, wonder why?

CORDELIA: Great. So while they're indulging their denial, we have bills to pay!

GUNN: You know she's right.

WESLEY: Perhaps, given time, the Sharps will come 'round.

GUNN: Right! Because that's what people do. They come round.

CORDELIA: (To Gunn) Where are you going?

GUNN: I think I'll see what's happening in the neighborhood. Got a feeling I do more good *there* than sitting around here with you two.

WESLEY: Things'll pick up. They're bound to.

CORDELIA: Yeah. It's LA. The evil's probably just tied up in traffic or something.

GUNN: Well, you let me know when it gets here, right?
