...oh, not this again.

[bigbad]

Right when you think you're free, they pull you back in, huh? I've no clue what that's like.

[singings]

Spare me the sarcasm and hand me a sea breeze for the love of all things bright and beautiful, would you? I think I'll be nursing the biggest headache ever this side of Evil Town.

[fredless]

You know in our line of work, 'this' can lean towards dangerously vague.

[singings]

Freddikins! Oh, you're such a sight for sore eyes you lovely bundle of science you!

[tact]

Please don't tell me you're letting Angel sing!

[ as this is the only thing that could ever be classified as outrightly horrible. ]

[singings]

And subject myself to needless torment and anxiety never felt before my dramatic exit from Pylea? Honey, if I could stop him, I would.

[tact]

You need to be a little more specific with the this-ing, Lorne. You almost gave me the needless torment and anxiety! I almost suffered a heart attack!

[singings]

Can't a demon be a little vague and run away with it?

[tact]

Not when he has one of the biggest hearts I know.

[ there's a pause. and here's the proper reason: ]

And could possibly give me free drinks every time I go to his bar. You want to spill your guts or should I just start doing all the talking?

[singings]

Aw. Who's a little sweetie? Who's the little sweetie trying to shamelessly milk her dear green friend for all his money's worth?

[ but he sighs and relents, as always. he could always ask angel to foot the bill. ]

Spike got it right up there. Freedom? Is something I don't think I cherished until I don't have it.

[bigbad]

Oh, like you've got anything to complain about. I haven't had a moment's rest since my girl started with me. Least you're left alone most of the time.

[singings]

That's because you're... well, you. Face it, sugarbuns, who wouldn't want to be stuck with you and your fantastic abs, hmm?

[bringsbadnews]

Something happen to the Caritas? [You can never tell with timelines.]

[singings]

Considering I'm presently talking to you and the more attractive members of your gang here, I'm hoping nothing did. Then again, I haven't seen Gunn and Wes yet - maybe you should ask them?

[bringsbadnews]

If I knew were Gunn was, I'd ask him. Now that I've come across you here, he's the one member of our team I haven't seen.

[singings]

...don't say that! That'll just encourage my mun to bring him out into the open - Blue Bird as well, if you can believe that!

[bringsbadnews]

I could do without "Blue Bird" but it would be good to see Gunn sometime.

[Especially after everything that happens when Wolfram & Hart sends L.A. to hell.]

[singings]

What did I say? Just what did I say before this? What, do I have to write it down? Sing it in a little Barry Manilow song so you'll understand?

[bringsbadnews]

...I wouldn't say no if you wanted to sing some Barry Manilow.

[singings]

And take away your shot at the spotlight? Crumbcake I would never.

[bringsbadnews]

I was starting to get pretty good at the whole singing thing.

[singings]

[ but angel what do you mean what is your exact definition of pretty good ]

I'm... almost afraid to ask how.

[bringsbadnews]

[Pretty good means BETTER THAN LINDSEY.]

What do you mean how? You heard me the last time I sang.

[singings]

[ wow someone has a high opinion of himself i mean NO ]

And... you call that improvement over your highly popular rendition of 'Mandy'?

[bigbad]

...can't argue that logic. [They are pretty excellent abs.] But there's got to be a way for her to get her jollies without making me miserable.

[singings]

Except you don't look a day over miserable.

[bigbad]

Vampire perk. Don't let it fool you.

[lostinpylea]

This..?

[singings]

Oh you know, being reduced to a mere puppet pulled on a string, the whole shebang... of course, this shebang doesn't include Ricky Martin.

[singings]

Mind singing a few notes to me then?

[faithy]

Please tell me you didn't remove Angel's soul again and stuff it into a jar.

[bigbad]

Yes. Not cause of anything you might hear, mind. I just don't like singing.

[lostinpylea]

You don't mean like those puppets from Smile Time, do ya? 'Cause I'm pretty sure we got all those guys.

[tact]

[ she had to try. ]

And what's free, anyway?

[ the shoes she's been eying definitely aren't. ]

Maybe this is free. As much as I'd really like to get the hell away from the dumbass with the keyboard, look at our lives. This is as good as it's going to get.

[ you know, cordelia isn't quite convinced about that. it might be obvious with this slight comparison: ] And they're not as stupid as the P.T.B.!

[fredless]

Well if I'd have know that was the greeting I was going to get, I wouldn't have delayed that whole five minutes there.

[thedestroyer]

[ Oh he has no witty lines about previous adventures. So he's just giving you this look.]

[singings]

Everybody likes singing, sweetcheeks. Some just don't realize it yet.

[singings]

Five minutes five schminutes. What's important is that you're here now.

[singings]

[ arches an eyebrow! ]

Let's see, which is worse? Working for those who don't seem to care for us at all, or being used like this without any regard for our feelings or personal safety? Gosh it's so hard to decide! How do you do it?

[singings]

No, Freddikins. I'm talking way worse than demonic puppet possession! Although, now that I'm thinking about it... maybe this is better.

[singings]

If I ever do that again out of my own accord, you have my personal permission to chop my head off and stuff it inside a pail. Hey, not the first time it happened.

[singings]

[ yeah, no matter what anyone says it's still weird seeing you like this, connor. ]

[lostinpylea]

[chuckles] What's been goin' on?

[bigbad]

I've never been one to do what everybody does.

[HE'S A REBEL OH YEAH]

[tact]

[ stop having a point, lorne. ]

Well the fact that I'm kind of alive and talking to you right now is a big bonus to letting these dumbasses behind the keyboard be in charge for just a few minutes.

[fredless]

You need me, I'm here. It's never going to be any more complicated than that.

[She pauses]

...except the times it's more complicated than that. But I'm doing my best to avoid those.
