ANGEL: This may come out a little pretentious, but... one of you will betray me.

(Spike raises his hands eagerly)

ANGEL: Wes.

SPIKE: Oh.

(puts his hand down dejectedly, then perks up) SPIKE: (hopefully) Can I deny you 3 times?

ANGEL: (to Wes) Vail is the sorcerer of the bunch. You know that game. You've seen his place. He believes you'd make a play for my spot.

WESLEY: That's not very flattering.

ANGEL: It'll get you in the door. Illyria... Izzerial the Devil and 3 other members of the circle dine together almost every night.

ILLYRIA: I'll make trophies of their spines.

ANGEL: Good to have you on the team.
