04:50something's wrong maybe you should tell giles
04:55no i don't want to bug giles he's still kind of twitchy when it comes
05:00to the subject of angels now it must be that whole angel killed
05:04his girlfriend and tortured him thing hey giles is pretty petty when it comes
05:08to stuff like that and they're enough okay
05:12maybe angel just has the holiday blues everybody gets them especially when
05:18they're alone it's just so frustrating

20:20to the whole angel thing and um i don't know maybe i finally got
20:25the Hanukkah spirit

20:34uh xander um black chronicles and uh buffy the
20:41diary of lucius temple an acolyte of her catholic expert on demons you can skip
20:46the passages on his garden unless you're keen on growing
20:50heartier beets
20:53are you sure this is how you want to spend your christmas vacation
20:57yeah this is actually the most exciting thing i've got planned

21:55i guess now it's just about showing us that he comes first
22:02i guess
22:05thanks
22:08hey he likes beets i read that one already
22:13we're not getting any closer
22:16oh the thing i remember most was thinking how
22:23artful it was in the dark they looked just like they were
22:29sleeping it wasn't until i bent down and kissed
22:34them good night that i felt how cold they were
22:39you grabbed me and i thought who would go to so much trouble
22:44to arrange them like that
22:50but you see that's what makes you different than other beasts they kill
22:57to feed but you took more kinds of pleasure in it than any creature that
23:03walks or crawls oh god yeah
23:08cry out make a scene i was to be married that week
23:15but then as i recall you knew that it wasn't me
23:19it wasn't you a demon isn't a man i was a man once oh yes
23:26and what a man you were
23:30oh
23:34a drunken whoring layabout and a terrible disappointment to your
23:40parents i was young
23:45never had a chance to die of syphilis you were a worthless being before you
23:52were ever a monster
23:56i don't want to hurt you angel but you have to understand

29:52well i heard a few things you know from the underground the
29:58underground yeah you know from things that live under
30:01the ground apparently there's been a lot of migration
30:04out of sunnydale from the lower inhabitants

31:05plus a lot of natural cave formations and a gateway to hell
