003_018 Setting: A certain Jail in Los Angeles

     (SFX: STANDARD JAIL BUZZER WHEN THEY OPEN THE DOOR)


    (SFX: PICK UP PHONE)

    (SFX: OTHER PHONE PICK UP)

FAITH:    Hey there angsty eyes…

ANGEL:    Faith. How are you?

FAITH:    Five by five. Something’s wrong with you though. What is it?

ANGEL:    It’s.

FAITH:    Buffy.

ANGEL:    Yes…

FAITH:    I knew it. Felt it a couple weeks ago. It was like getting stuffed with a hot poker… I’m sorry Angel..

ANGEL:    (UNCOMFORTABLE) I thought you should know.

FAITH:    I’m glad… if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t know much of anything. Other than women.. women and more women. Don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with women… but… (SERIOUSLY) Sometimes I just babble you know, when I don’t know what to say. You’re really the only person who gave me another chance.

ANGEL:    We all deserve them.

FAITH:    How did..

ANGEL:    She jumped, there was a rift. It’s kind of complicated… Willow explained but I’m not sure I.. heard it all.

FAITH:    Is there anything I can do?

ANGEL:    I think you should stay here. For now.. I.

FAITH:    You’ve gotta go. I get that. (PAUSE) Angel?

ANGEL:    Faith…

FAITH:    Just… just don’t do something stupid.

ANGEL:    She was…

FAITH:    She loved you…

ANGEL:    I should have been there… I should have done something…

FAITH:    Someone once told me that I couldn’t have saved my Watcher. No matter how many times I replayed it in my mind. Doesn’t stop me from trying…

ANGEL:    I just… I thought I’d… I should… She shouldn’t’ve died alone..

FAITH:    We all die alone...
