CONNOR: This going to be the yelling thing again?

FRED: No yelling.

CONNOR: He looks like he's gonna yell.

GUNN: I do not.

CONNOR: He always looks like he's gonna yell.

GUNN: (raising his voice) I'm not gonna yell!

FRED: Where've you been?

CONNOR: Out.

GUNN: We were worried.

CONNOR: I'm sorry. I shouldn't run off alone. You'd think I'd know that by now.

GUNN: It's that big, thick mellon! (Gunn taps the side of Connor's head, smiling.) Your dad's got one just like it. (Connor's smile melts away.) Angel's always flying off, getting himself into trouble.

CONNOR: I'm not like him.

GUNN: You're not as strong yet, but...

CONNOR: Like I care what you think?

GUNN: What d'you say?

FRED: It's been a long night. Why don't you go wash up.

CONNOR: I'm fine. (Exit)

GUNN: I try to be nice and you see what he does? He just keeps pushing. It's like - it's like he wants me to lose it.

FRED: He's testing you. With Angel gone, you're the alpha male.

GUNN: Damn straight.

FRED: Don't let it go to your head.

GUNN: That's not the direction it's flowing.

(They kiss. The phone rings and Fred pulls back.)

GUNN: Let it ring.

FRED: What if it's a client?

GUNN: Then the big dog better close the deal. (picks up the phone) Angel Investigations.
