ANGEL: (Holding brown manila folder) I got it. The hand belongs to a thirty year old white male named Bradley Scott, served two and a half years at Soledad for embezzlement, paroled last month.

GUNN: How'd you find all this?

ANGEL: I'm a detective.

CORDELIA: Did he have a life before prison?

ANGEL: I'm not sure. Why don't you just look him up on...

CORDELIA: (At computer) I am.

WESLEY: That's impressive, Angel.

ANGEL: Yeah, well, sometimes you just got to follow your... (Points at his nose.)

WESLEY: So, how did your (taps his nose) get you into the N.C.I.C.?

ANGEL: The what?

WESLEY: The National Crime and Information Center?

ANGEL: Oh, that. Kind of a long story... (Moves towards Cordy's desk) How's it coming over there.

GUNN: We got time.

ANGEL: You know, when I was in charge here, nobody questioned my methods or my singing.

CORDELIA: You're half right.

ANGEL: Alright. I hired a private detective. He's got a friend on the force.

WESLEY: *We're* supposed to be the private detectives.

GUNN: *We* are supposed to have a friend on the force.

ANGEL: We did, but she got fired. Get over it.

CORDELIA: Bradley Scott. Guess where he worked while he was dumping bearer bonds on the black market. Wolfram and Hart.

WESLEY: I wonder if he's still alive.

ANGEL: Well, according to his records he reported to his parole officer once - then he disappeared.

GUNN: He goes to jail. They wait for him to get out, then (makes a chopping motion at his right wrist) whack! Wolfram and Hart gives his hand to Lindsey. I guess they really want to give their boy everything.
