come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Nina to Angel: You're not perfectly happy, are you? 'Cause I've got my wooden stake right here. from Power Play (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
(In a dark room, a man with a sack over his head is being viciously beaten by robed figures. Angel leaps through a doorway filled with fire to enter the room, goes to the man and lifts his hood. We cannot see the man's face)
MAN: (whispers) Thank you. Thank you.
(Angel vamps out and bites the man. Cut to credits. Resume in Angel's apartment, Angel in bed with Nina. A title reads: 19 HOURS EARLIER)
ANGEL: Hey.
NINA: OK. Where did you learn how to do that?
ANGEL: Which part?
NINA: Doesn't matter. How are you?
ANGEL: I'm good.
NINA: (teasing) You're not perfectly happy, are you? 'Cause I've got my wooden stake right here.
(she reaches over into the nightstand drawer)
NINA: Oh, that's not a stake. I know I brought it--
ANGEL: You're safe.
NINA: OK. And you? Good? You weren't thinking about your little Roman friend, or--
ANGEL: Nina, for the last...
(picks up his wristwatch from the nightstand, looks at it)
ANEGL: whoa.
NINA: Wowee.
ANGEL: For the last... very long moment I haven't had a single coherent thought.
NINA: I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
ANGEL: You really should.
NINA: But now, the brow is back. If she's not on your mind, then...
ANGEL: Oh, there's... there's a lot more than usual going on.
NINA: Work?
ANGEL: Always.
NINA: You should get away. Vacation? You know that word? Go to Cabo, drink margaritas, midnight skinny-dipping, making love on the beach. Did you catch how I subtly included myself in your vacation package?
ANGEL: Nina...
NINA: Too pushy, too needy, I never even said it. You should make love on the beach all by yourself.
ANGEL: It would be wonderful. I mean it.
NINA: But...
ANGEL: There are-- There are things that I have to do. Things that I've already set in motion that, uh... I know I've spent years fighting to get somewhere... to accomplish something... and now that I'm close to it... I don't like what I see, what I am.
NINA: You're a hero.
ANGEL: Oh, that word.
NINA: You're my hero.
ANGEL: I may not always be.
