ANGEL: Come on in. So, good to see you.

OZ: I came primarily for a gig, but also to give you this. (He holds out a ring.)

DOYLE: Wait a minute, is that what I think it is?

ANGEL: (making no move to take it) It?s the gem of Amara.

OZ: One and the same. (Angel reluctantly accepts it) Buffy wanted you to have it.

CORDELIA: Hey, Buffy. How is good old Buffy anyway?

OZ: She is...

CORDELIA: What? Still the brave little Slayer or is she moping around in the dark like (gets a look from Angel) like nobody around here. Mm-mmm.

OZ: She is good. She is Buffy.

DOYLE: And I?m sure we?ll be interested in that later, but right now can we concentrate on the mother-load Angel just hit?

DOYLE: What are you waiting for, man? Put it on!

CORDELIA: Okay, you?re getting weird about this ring. Since when did you go all Versace about accessorizing?

DOYLE: Since the accessory is priceless and renders the wearer one hundred percent unkillable if he?s a vampire.

CORDELIA: Unkillable? Like, not even stakes?

DOYLE: Not nothing. Not stakes, not fire; I mean the best of all, not even sunlight. I mean just think of it man. Poolside tanning, bargain matinees, plus there are several strip clubs I know of that have a fabulous luncheon buffet that?s really quite tasty, it?s---I?ve heard.

ANGEL: And it?s from Buffy.

OZ: Yeah. Your old buddy Spike dug up Sunnydale looking for it. He got a fist full of Buffy and left it behind. She wanted to be sure it was in good hands.

ANGEL: So she sent you.

OZ: I was heading this way.

CORDELIA: And she didn?t even send a note? Wow. That?s really... (Angel looks at her) this is one of those times when I should just shy away from the topic, isn?t it?

DOYLE: Come on, I have something that will boost your spirits. (He picks up a stake) Why don?t you put it on and here, I?ll stake you. It?ll be fun!

ANGEL: Maybe later.

DOYLE: What, are you out of your mind?

ANGEL: I said, maybe later.

DOYLE: Yeah--

ANGEL: Doyle.

DOYLE: Okay, you have it your way, man. But I?m still going to celebrate with a drink down at the pub.

CORDELIA: He?d celebrate the opening of a mailbox with a drink down at the pub. You coming, Oz?

OZ: Yeah. I could eat.

ANGEL: Go ahead.

(Angel keeps looking at the ring. Finally, he sticks it in his pocket and goes down in the sewers. He takes it out of his pocket and hides it under a loose brick next to a pipe.)
