Angel: She asked me to breakfast.
Wesley: Breakfast. Right. How did you respond?
Angel: Well... of course, I—ahem— ignored it completely, changed the subject, and locked her in a cage.
Wesley: Sorry. What?
Angel: Wes, it wasn't just breakfast. You know, it was, uh... breakfast. I mean, here we had this very good, very platonic thing going on, and then all of a sudden, out of the blue—
Wesley: Are you blind? Angel, there are things called signals. Odorless, yes. Invisible, certainly, but unmistakable, like the ones she's been casting your way for months.
Angel: No. I would have noticed—
Wesley: This isn't just from me. This comes from people who know. This comes from the ladies.
Angel: The ladies?
Wesley: Fred, Harmony... the girls in transcription. As Harmony put it, "Why else would a chick who's coming to spend 3 nights in a jail cell dress like it's her first date?"
Angel: Oh, God. The ladies are right. Nina's down there right now, turning into a werewolf and liking me.
