ANGEL: You got it, counselor. You tell Mister— (clears throat)
GUNN: Hainsley.
ANGEL: Hainsley that Wolfram & Hart is under new management and out of the grave-robbing business. Now, run along and go argue your case.
NOVAC: Me?
ANGEL: Go.
SPIKE: (to Novac) You don't have to take that from him, mate.
ANGEL: Stay out of this, Spike. You don't work here.
SPIKE: Damn right I don't. Look at you. This is what you do now? Delegate the dirty work to spineless, low-level flunkies. (to Novac) No offense. The mighty hero reduced to a bloody bureaucrat. If a certain slayer could see you now—
ANGEL: Get out of here, Spike.
SPIKE: Gladly. Cruel enough punishment being stuck here as a spook while you play Chairman of the Boring. But hell if I'm gonna spend my afterlife in your stinking city. Get stuffed.
