(all nighter study session)

ANGEL: This is unbelievable.

FRED: I think I've lost my appetite, which is kind of a first.

LORNE: Hmm, well, this is interesting. Apparently old Joe Kennedy tried to get out of his deal with the firm.

ANGEL: That explains a lot.

LORNE: Yeah, but George, Senior—he read the fine print. There's no one these guys don't have a piece of.

ANGEL: How are we even supposed to start making things right?

GUNN: Here's a winner... Corbin Fries. On trial for smuggling Asian girls in for cheap labor and prostitution. Been charged with drugs, gun running, nothing stuck.

WESLEY: And that's one of our human clients.

GUNN: Looks like the trial's not going too well this time.

ANGEL: Hmm, first good news all day.

GUNN: I can't even remember which pile is which.

ANGEL: I'll get my secretary to go through it in the morning. Do I have a secretary?

WESLEY: I imagine they'll find you someone who can stomach the idea of working for the side of the righteous.

GUNN: My impression is a lot of these guys are just opportunistic. They'll go with the flow.

FRED: You know we're gonna have to check the whole staff, make sure we don't have any die-hard evildoers plotting against us.

WESLEY: And here I was, worrying about the clients.

ANGEL: We're doing the right thing...right?

LORNE: Well, uh... We're doing it tomorrow, exalted one. My horns are falling asleep.

ANGEL: Yeah. You guys go get some rest.

FRED: What about you?

ANGEL: I'll work a while yet. Go on.
