(Angel picks up the paper Cordy was working on)

ANGEL: What's this?'

CORDELIA: Enemies of Merl list.

ANGEL: Hey. - Why is my *name* at the top of this list?

CORDELIA: Ah - 'a'?

ANGEL: Merl and I where not enemies.

CORDELIA: Oh, okay, my mistake.

ANGEL: I'm the one that found the body, remember?

CORDELIA: Oh. And *that's* not suspicious. The one time you pay Merl a social visit and he ends up - dead?

WESLEY: I recognize quite a few of these names, actually.

CORDELIA: You should. Half of them weren't 'enemies of Merl' until we made him snitch on them.

ANGEL: Oh, sure. I went *dark* and I killed Merl.

(Wes and Cordy look at him for a beat.)

WESLEY: We'll work backwards, end with the 'a' s. How's that? We should start tracking these names.

ANGEL: (to Cordelia) You know, ask yourself this: if I'd killed Merl would I've - brought donuts?
