come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Cordelia: Move. I think the sashimi is coming up. from Belonging (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Wesley, Cordelia and Gunn at a restaurant table with an empty fourth chair, eating dinner.)
CORDELIA: You wanna try some of my sashimi?
GUNN: That's the raw fish? Maybe when hell freezes over.
WESLEY: What are you looking for?
CORDELIA: Celebrities. They won't put 'em out here in the 'B' section. They'll put 'em back in the dark.
(camera angle changes and we realize we were seeing the table in a mirror. Angel is actually in the 4th chair)
ANGEL: Not like here where it's brightly lit and open and everyone can stare at you and ... It's a little exposed. Kind of public.
GUNN: Oh, yeah, that public thing. It happens when you go where the people are.
ANGEL: Oh, no, no. I-I like the people. Normal people. I wanna get out and be one of 'em. You know, celebrate Cordy's good news.
CORDELIA: Oh, it's just a commercial.
WESLEY: (lifting his wine glass) Just a *national* commercial. Here's to you.
(They all clink glasses.)
CORDELIA: You guys, I can't drink. I have to be up at four thirty in the morning for the shoot ... but please, continue with the toasting and the praising.
GUNN: You're gonna knock 'em dead and make a ton of cash.
ANGEL: What he said, but--but don't leave us when you get famous.
CORDELIA: I'm touched. But don't worry. I *can't* leave you guys while I'm still the proud owner of the mind-shattering, ever-more-debilitating visions. I feel a little guilty.
ANGEL: Don't. I mean, nineteen dollars for a sashimi-couscous appetizer is money well spent. How is it anyway? Pretty good? I mean, it ought to be pretty good ...
CORDELIA: It's delicious but that's not what I feel guilty about.
ANGEL: Oh. (Sees Wesley looking at him) I 'm not cheap, I-I'm just old. (Slipping into a slight Irish accent) I re-- I remember when a few bob got you a good meal, a bottle *and* a tavern wench. You were saying?
CORDELIA: I was saying, I feel guilty about leaving you guys in the middle of a case to go do this commercial.
WESLEY: Mhmm. We have it under control. Angel will get hold of his informant first thing in the morning.
GUNN: And he -- Well, is it a he or an it?
ANGEL: Actually, both.
GUNN: Okay, then it-slash-he points us to the big bloated thing you saw in your vision.
WESLEY: The Haklar demon. In fact, the informant will lead us to the demon's feeding grounds where we manly men will gather 'round and kill it to death.
CORDELIA: Ooh, sounds like fun. If you guys want more wine, don't let me stop you.
ANGEL: Oh, no. No more wine for me. That imported stuff goes right to your head.
GUNN: You think we should get a flamethrower?
WESLEY: For the Haklar? I hadn't thought of that.
ANGEL: I mean, if you guys want to order another bottle.
GUNN: Of course, if we wound up in a tight space we could burn each other.
WESLEY: Right. Right.
GUNN: Well, you're the boss. You'll decide.
WESLEY: A flamethrower's big and loud. It might call attention where we don't want it. Stealth, you know, being a large part of --
(Angel notices a woman wearing a shawl walking through the restaurant and jumps out of his seat with vampire speed to grab hold of her.)
ANGEL: Isn't this interesting?
WOMAN: Wh-What, my shawl?
ANGEL: No. Your Brahanian battle shroud, woven from the skin of dead children.
WESLEY: What's he doing?
ANGEL: You don't think I know a Voctar witch when I see one? You don't think I can read the markings of a -- (takes a closer look at the shawl) Looks a little different up close.
CORDELIA: It's a beautiful shawl, ma'am. It's a beautiful, thousand dollar, Laura Mina original. (Laughs) My friend just loves beautiful things so much he can't control himself. Because he's, um ... from France? We're so sorry. So sorry.
(She pulls Angel back towards the table.)
ANGEL: (in French) Pardon.
GUNN: If we had a flamethrower we could set the table on fire, draw a little *more* attention to us.
ANGEL: I'm telling you, those markings, from a distance it really looked --
WESLEY: Let's just eat and be on our way without any more --
CORDELIA: Oh, god. (Scrunches up her face.)
GUNN: What is it? What do you see?
CORDELIA: Mo --
WESLEY: Moo? Some sort of cow monster?
CORDELIA: Move. I think the sashimi is coming up. (Throws up.)
ANGEL: They'll take that off the bill, right?
