FAITH: Finally decided to tie me up, huh? I always knew you weren't really a one-Slayer guy.
ANGEL: I'm sorry about the chains. It's not that I don't trust you... Actually, it *is* that I don't trust you.
FAITH: The thing with Xander; I know what it looked like, but we were just playing.
ANGEL: And he forgot the safety word. Is that it?
FAITH: Safety words are for wusses. ~~Consequences~~
