FRED: Blow everybody up?

ANGEL: Well, he said 'drop the bomb'. We don't know what that means.

WESLEY: We very nearly found out.

ANGEL: What? I'm not allowed to hit people?

WESLEY: Not people capable of genocide.

ANGEL: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

LORNE: Hey, back to the here and now, chickadees. Where do we stand?

WESLEY: We need to find out about this bomb and somehow disable it in case that jury comes in with a conviction. We think it may have some mystical element.

ANGEL: Fries said, 'I say the magic word'. He could mean exactly that.

WESLEY: Which is my department. We also think it probably isn't an explosive. This isn't the sort of man to risk his own life. So that could mean more magic—

FRED: Or it could be a virus, ebola kind of thing.

ANGEL: Right. The main thing is, any of this stuff could've come from right here. Keel, the lawyer, says he doesn't know anything, and I believe him.

FRED: Why?

ANGEL: He's terrified.

LORNE: It's going around.

WESLEY: Fred, go through the lab records. See if Wolfram & Hart deals in viruses. Lorne, you're in the courtroom. Monitor the case. Let us know how it's going.

LORNE: But lunch with Mary-Kate... She was gonna tell me about Ashley's new piercing.

HARMONY: I paged Gunn 3 times. Still nothing.

FRED: Why isn't he here?

LORNE: (noting Harmony) Why is *she*?

HARMONY: Long story.

ANGEL: Maybe not.

HARMONY: Oh, and I got Spanky's address.

LORNE: Spanky?

ANGEL: Freelance mystic. He's showed up in Fries' files a few times. I'm gonna do some legwork.

FRED: Can you get there by sewer?

ANGEL: Not this time.
