(Buffy & Angel break off their kiss)

ANGEL: Well, I guess that qualifies as happy to see me.

BUFFY: Angel, what are you doing h? don?t even. I just want to bask. (beat) Okay, I?m basked. What are you doing here?

ANGEL: Not saving the damsel in distress, that?s for sure.

BUFFY: Oh, you know me. Not much with the damseling.

ANGEL: You got your share of distress, though.

BUFFY: You heard?

ANGEL: I?ve got coverage on the whole thing. It?s very gripping. (re the portfolio) It needs a third act.

BUFFY: You have to leave L.A.

ANGEL: It?s The First, right? The First Evil. The power that tried to convince me to kill myself.

BUFFY: Yeah. It?s gotten a little more ambitious since then. It?s raising an army.

ANGEL: Yeah, well, it failed once and I?m here to tell you?
