Angel: Wolfram & Hart is under new management and out of the grave-robbing business. from Just Rewards (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
SPIKE: (arriving) This place just goes on and on, doesn't it? Like a ruddy theme park attraction.
ANGEL: I'm in a meeting, Spike.
SPIKE: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't care.
GUNN: Look, we're ruffling a lot of dangerous feathers out there. There's gonna be a backlash. Count on it.
ANGEL: Well, we'll just have to ride out the ripples for a while.
GUNN: (looks at the door) I'm sensing a ripple on its way now.
NOVAC: (arriving) Yes, uh...Novac, sir. Uh, what's this about you shutting down the Internment Acquisitions Division?
ANGEL: (to Gunn) Internment Acqui—
GUNN: Grave-robbing.
NOVAC: Listen, I know you fellas are in charge now, and you're doing a bang-up job. I'm with you 110%, but that department brings in mucho revenue to this company.
ANGEL: Well, Novac, we'll just have to tighten our belts and do without.
NOVAC: No, you're not getting it... sir. I.A.D. is under contract to provide fresh bodies to Magnus Hainsley. You know who he is, right? Oy. OK. He's one of our oldest clients. Big potatoes. We stop delivering, and he is not gonna be... thrilled.
ANGEL: Then he's probably not gonna like it when you advise him that he's no longer our client.
NOVAC: Me?
ANGEL: You got it, counselor. You tell Mister— (clears throat)
GUNN: Hainsley.
ANGEL: Hainsley that Wolfram & Hart is under new management and out of the grave-robbing business. Now, run along and go argue your case.
NOVAC: Me?
ANGEL: Go.
SPIKE: (to Novac) You don't have to take that from him, mate.
ANGEL: Stay out of this, Spike. You don't work here.
SPIKE: Damn right I don't. Look at you. This is what you do now? Delegate the dirty work to spineless, low-level flunkies. (to Novac) No offense. The mighty hero reduced to a bloody bureaucrat. If a certain slayer could see you now—
ANGEL: Get out of here, Spike.
SPIKE: Gladly. Cruel enough punishment being stuck here as a spook while you play Chairman of the Boring. But hell if I'm gonna spend my afterlife in your stinking city. Get stuffed.
