Linwood: "Who is this pirate with a sword, and what is he doing in the middle of my operation?"
Lilah: "I don't know, sir. But he called Angel by his old name, Angelus."
Linwood as the monitor begins to crackle: "I need better audio."
Transcriber is fiddling with some wires: "Any second."
Holtz: "Hand over the vampires."
Linwood: "This has gone on long enough. (To radio) I don't care who that man is. Take him out. Take him out now. (Puts down the radio then picks it back up) Over."
