FRED: How is she doing?

ANGEL: Oh, agreed to stay in the holding cell tonight, but she's pretty scared. So, what do we do now?

SPIKE: We wait for the show. Should be a good one. Everyone on pins and needles, dreading the moonrise, then pop goes the werewolf.

ANGEL: (ignoring Spike) I can't stop what's gonna happen, but I can keep her from getting hurt.

ROYCE: These first few transformations are the worst. Werewolf's strength combined with the disorientation and fear...

FRED: You mean, she could hurt herself?

ROYCE: Oh, I've seen 'em bang their heads against walls, claw at their own skin.

ANGEL: We'll just have to tranq her, let her sleep through it.

ROYCE: Well, that could work for tonight, but, uh, over the long haul, bad idea.

FRED: Well, there has to be something.

ROYCE: They like familiar scents, images. Maybe if you took her home, let her get a few things, could have a calming effect.

SPIKE: Fetching her blanky's not gonna make a bloody bit of difference.

FRED: Spike, really not helping.

SPIKE: I'm just saying, the girl's a killer. Maybe not tonight or tomorrow, but she will get out of that cage.

ANGEL: Not if she doesn't want to.

ROYCE: Oh, she'll want to. It's unfortunate, but...

SPIKE: And when it's not that time of month? She'll be wracked by the guilties. What with a soul and all.

ANGEL: Didn't seem to bother you.

SPIKE: Oh, it's been nothing but a pain in my... (disappears)

ANGEL: Finally. I'll take Nina by her house.

FRED: Angel, it's the middle of the day. Unless you plan on waiting in the car...

ANGEL: Take security. In case she changes her mind.
