ANGEL: So, what’s the problem?

BARNEY: Call me Barney. Look, first off you should know right away before there is any misunderstanding: I’m a demon.

ANGEL: Appreciate your candor.

BARNEY: Secondly, I just realized it’s 3:45 in the afternoon. Middle of the day. If you’re a vampire, why aren’t you in your coffin?

ANGEL: Coffin. I hate that stereotype. You’re a demon and you don’t know anything about vampires?

BARNEY: Only what I learned from TV.

ANGEL: Vampires don’t sleep in coffins. It’s a misconception made popular by hack writers and ignorant media. In fact, you know, we can and do move around during the day, as long as we avoid direct sunlight. Got it?

BARNEY: Got it. Sorry. Didn’t want to push any sore spots.
