FRED: (whispering) You think they bought it?
ANGEL: (whispering) I did. I—I mean, I didn't hear anything.
JASMANIAC WOMAN: Angel.
JASMANIAC MAN: You're dead, Fred.
Angel and Fred turn to see that small group of people staring at them menacingly.
ANGEL: I'm thinking they didn't buy it.

CORDELIA: What’s a Bosh… whatever you said?
WESLEY: The opposers of the Awakening. The Bosh M’ad forged something to destroy the Beast. The Tooth of Light.
FRED: They made a tooth?
WESLEY: To the best of my interpretation, a weapon of some kind.
GUNN: How’d it work out for ’em? Wesley looks back down at the text.
WESLEY: It was never used. The Awakening was centuries away. In the meantime, every last one of the Bosh M’ad was wiped out by the Beast’s acolytes.
FRED: So this tooth thing must have had them worried. What happened to it?
WESLEY: Never found. The opposers kept it hidden.
GUNN: Great. So now we have to find a tooth in a haystack.

KENNY: Nothing, I swear to god. And then after he punched me he threw Les against the wall, about near broke her arm. Next thing I know he's reaching for his nightstick, so I just grabbed Les and booked.
