LORNE: This isn't about your pipes, bro. It's about your spirit. I can't read you unless you sing!
ANGEL: I don't sing.
CORDELIA: Come on, Angel. I wanna hear you sing.
ANGEL: No.
WESLEY: It would be for a good cause. We might learn something.
ANGEL: Who's the boss here?
LORNE: I know you're feeling smooth, in the groove. Isn't that the thing that comes before a fall?
ANGEL: There are three things I don't do: tan, date - and sing in public!
