ANGEL: How could you let her wander off alone?
FRED: The words "grown woman" come to mind.
GUNN: And the gal does have a history of whooping ass. I mean, you saw the hurting she put on those Wolfram and Hart dudes. And could she really turn me into a rat?
ANGEL: What if Wolfram and Hart came back? What if there were hundreds of those things? What if this is the way it starts? I mean, the slouching and the Bethlehem. And they've taken her because of what she knows—even if she can't remember she knows it.
FRED: Have you been caffeinating your blood again, or is there something you're not telling us?

~~Slouching Toward Bethlehem~~
