LORNE: My little prince! (Angel groans and collapses; Lorne goes to his side)
LORNE: Ohh... what did they do to you? (picks up Angel in his arms)
PUPPET ANGEL: Nina... tried to... eat me.
LORNE: (yells out) Medic! (to Angel) You're gonna make it, Angel. Just don't stop fighting. (yells out) Doctor! Is there a Geppetto in the house?!
