Wesley: "Yes, you were right. The police would be ill equipped to hold a Slayer against her will. I understand why you chose not to turn her over to them. - I do not, however, understand why the woman who brutally tortured me last night - this morning - gets pastries!"
Angel: "I don't really have anything else downstairs. - What do you want to do, Wesley? Let her starve?"
