Lorne: Hey. Something troubling you, bubby?
Groo: Indeed. I am confused.
Lorne: About what?
Groo: Angel. His inaction puzzles me. When Connor was taken from him he moved heaven and Tarkna to try and win him back.
Lorne: Yeah, he sure did. Hence our weekly scrubbing of the lobby floor.
Groo: But now that his son is here, he does nothing.
Lorne: Well, sometime nothing is the best something. If a thing is meant to be somethimes it is best to just let it happen rather than try to force it.
Groo: But if a thing is meant to be then how can it be forced?
Lorne: Well, I guess it can't.
Groo: And if a thing is not meant to be?
Lorne: Well, then it really can't. Just because someone hops a dimension or two is no guarantee that things will work out. - Well, aren't you just sneaky with the subtext?
Groo: It is a beautiful day. If my princess asks, tell her I've gone for a walk. - If she asks.
