Amanda: their entire nation believes my child is their next, you know, like the Dalai Lama. They're gonna worship him. from Timebomb (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
ANGEL: You're sure you want to do this?
GUNN: Yeah, because it's not too late, Amanda. This contract has some wiggle room somewhere in there. They always do.
AMANDA: But aren't you the guys that are supposed to tell me to do it?
ANGEL: Oh, we are. And, well, we're not. We, uh--
LORNE:(via walkie-talkie) Angel Ears, this is Secret Demon. Come in.
(Angel puts his hands over the walkie-talkie)
AMANDA: Listen, I've had this talk before, believe me. I know it sounds bad giving up your unborn baby to a supernatural cult, but...
(the walkie-talkie beeps again and Angel puts his hands over it, muffling the speech)
ANGEL: Sorry. Go on.
AMANDA: See... their entire nation believes my child is their next, you know, like the Dalai Lama. They're gonna worship him. He'll be cared for better than we could ever. And he'll be someone, somebody important. We'd never be able to give him that.
GUNN: Amanda, the Fell Brethren leader makes Jim Jones look like a Sunday school teacher.
AMANDA: Who's Jim Jones?
ANGEL: It doesn't matter.
AMANDA: Mr. Gunn, we can't afford this baby. My husband, he was hurt at work. Brain-damaged, doctors say. Incurable. We're scraping by on food stamps and disability. But the Brethren... they say they can make him whole again. Make him... (starts to cry) remember who I am. I mean, how does a person turn all that down?
(Gunn closes the file and walks out of the conference room.)
ANGEL: (to Amanda) Excuse us. (follows Gunn out of the room)
