Wesley to Gunn: There are in this world shades of gray... from That Old Gang of Mine (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
WESLEY: Gunn.
GUNN: Hey. Got your page. Where's Angel?
WESLEY: He's checking on something else. Come in. The victim's name was Samuel Larch. We found him last night.
GUNN: The guy was a demon.
WESLEY: Yeah.
GUNN: Wesley? - What are we doing, man? Who we're supposed to be working for, anyway? Did the Powers send us here? Did Cordy get a vision?
WESLEY: No.
GUNN: Then what?
WESLEY: Charles, things aren't always so simple as - going out and slaying the big, bad ugly. There are in this world shades of gray...
GUNN: Yeah. And shades of green, and a kind of sickly looking yellow with pink eyes and sometimes puce with horns, too. I get it. What I don't get is *why* we're suddenly playing cleanup crew to a bunch of lowlife demons! - I mean, okay, so we - we bust our butts day and night until we find whatever it was that did Merl and this Larch guy...
WESLEY: And six other victims we believe we've linked to it.
GUNN: So we find this demon killing machine. What then? We gonna stop it? Or thank it?
WESLEY: I don't know.
GUNN: You don't know.
WESLEY: From everything I can determine, this victim was fully assimilated. No history of violence, no threat to anyone. Of the other six, at least two of those *would* have to be classified as irredeemably evil.
GUNN: So what are you saying then?
WESLEY: I'm saying that whatever is responsible for these attacks *isn'*t making any distinctions. It's just killing. Randomly.
ANGEL: You were right. It happened again.
WESLEY: When.
(Gunn sees the bag with the arrowhead and picks it up off the table.)
ANGEL: Last night. A Yarbnie was eviscerated in the sewer near Century City.
GUNN: Yarbie, what's that?
(Gunn gets up from the sofa, casually pocketing the bag with the arrowhead.)
WESLEY: Yarbnie. It's a - balancing entity. They tend to nest in urban areas under roadways - utterly non-violent.
GUNN: You know what? Uhm, maybe I should hit the streets. You know, see if I can shake anything lose. I mean, if you want.
WESLEY: Yeah. That's probably a good idea.
GUNN: (to Angel as he passes him) Hey.
ANGEL: Hey.
