WESLEY Angel does have a point. Spike has been unintentionally disapparating more and more frequently.
GUNN Give him 20 minutes. He'll be popping up next to you in the bathroom, making cracks about your—(looks at Wesley) Am I the only one he does that to?
FRED I know he's done this before, but you saw the way he was acting. Something's different this time. He's agitated, hallucinating.
GUNN Ghosts can do that?
WESLEY We are dealing with a unique case here as far as manifestations go. Dementia isn't completely out of the question.
FRED He's not crazy.
GUNN Screaming about people who aren't there? That's grounds for involuntary committal under the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act which states— Oh, sorry. Sometimes the law they stuffed in my noggin just clicks on.
