ANGEL: Hello? Hello.

RACHEL: Angel?

ANGEL: Rachel. Is that you?

RACHEL: They let Lenny out. The lawyer said something about a technicality.

ANGEL: I?ll be right there.

(Angel walks up to his car in the underground garage. As he reaches for the door handle, a beam smashes into his head sending him tumbling back against the wall.)

SPIKE: Angel. I believe you have something I?m looking for--a shiny, little bauble?

ANGEL: Might as well go home, Spike. The gem of Amara stays with me.

(They fight.)

SPIKE: Why? Because you?re Angel, vamp detective now? Oo, I?m so scared. What?s next? Vampire cowboy? Vampire fireman? Oh, vampire ballerina.

ANGEL: I do like to work with my legs.

(They go a few more rounds, and Angel gets the beam.)

ANGEL: So, you and I duke it out, huh? Is this your big strategy to get the ring back?

SPIKE: I had a plan!

ANGEL: You? A plan?

SPIKE: A good plan. Smart. Carefully laid out. But I got bored. All that watching, waiting--my legs were starting to cramp. Enough with the hit ?n? quip. Just tell me were the damn ring is.

ANGEL: It wouldn?t go with your outfit.

(He hits Spike around for a while and finally throws him against the wall just as Cordelia and Doyle run in behind Angel.)

SPIKE: Cordelia. You look smashing. Did you lose weight?

CORDELIA: Yes! Y?know, there?s this great gym on-- (beat) Hey. SPIKE: (to Angel) I?ll get that ring. This isn?t over until one of us is a pile of dust, mate. (He runs off)
