(Groo is getting mauled, barely managing to keep the beast away from his throat; he squeezes his eyes shut, awaiting the inevitable. Then Angel morphs back to human face.)

ANGEL: We're not gonna do this. We're gonna find another way. (Backs off.) I'm not an animal.

CORDELIA: Stop! (Groo sits up and punches Angel hard into the stomach.)

Stop the fight! Stop!

ANGEL: Alright. What part of me being all noble here - didn't get through?

CORDELIA: (Running up between them.) Stop. Stop the fight. Don't hurt him. Stop. (Looks at Groo) I love him. I love him.

ANGEL: You love me?

CORDELIA: Not you, dumb ass. Him! I love him! (She hugs Groo.)

ANGEL: Oh.

CORDELIA: Lay down your weapons! Silas is dead. All priests have been defeated. Any guard who harms a human from this day forth shall have to answer to me!

ANGEL: She loves me, too, right?

CORDELIA: (Hugging Groo again) Are you okay? - Did he hurt you?

ANGEL: As a friend and co-worker.

CORDELIA: Can I get some medical attention around here, people?

ANGEL: Maybe love is too strong a term.
