RACHEL: You keep showing up like this and I?m gonna start thinkin? you?re a man of your word.

ANGEL: Stranger things.

RACHEL: Not many.

ANGEL: So we?ll get you out of here. There are places you can go where you?ll be safe.

RACHEL: Like a shelter?

ANGEL: It?s a start. He won?t be able to find you, I swear.

RACHEL: N-no, it-it-it?s not the shelter, it?s just, ah... Half the time, you know how this whole thing starts up again, Lenny and me?

ANGEL: You call.

RACHEL: I?I?I just...I start to jones for him, the way he joneses for rock. And I call or I find him in some dive, and I drag him home, and it?s *good* for a while.

ANGEL: But it doesn?t last. This last time he would have killed you.

RACHEL: I?m scared, Angel. I?m more scared of me than I am of him right now.

ANGEL: You?re at a crossroads, I know. It?s either go for the easy fix and wait for the consequences, or take the hard road and go with faith.

RACHEL: Oh, god. You?re not from that freaky church on Sunset, are you?

ANGEL: In yourself, that kind of faith. What I?m saying is: if you leave Lenny for good, it?ll hurt. But eventually you?ll be stronger for it. And maybe you?ll find your way to the kind of love you deserve.

RACHEL: You mean the kind that comes without 911 calls?

ANGEL: That?s the general idea.
