ANGEL: I'm the what?
CORDELIA: (excited) The Dark Avenger.
ANGEL: I'm the Dark Avenger.
CORDELIA: I know, it's perfect! We can shoot it ourselves on High 8. I'll charm a post-production house into doing the effects and... Look, I know a little something about self-promotion! Angel, I'm telling you one commercial like this could help get us out of the red - or the black - or which ever one means we're broke, 'cause that's us. So what? Buffy blows into to town and puts you in a permanent funk and I'm just supposed to stand around and watch our business go belly up?
