>SPIKE
>Sorry.

>SPIKE
>Saved a few bob from when I was on the Wolfram

>SPIKE
>Maybe Angel can set the whole detective thing up again?
>
>ILLYRIA
>Detective?

>SPIKE
>He used to save people as a business. People would get

>ILLYRIA
>Amoral.

>SPIKE
>And any Anya comparisons go out the window�

>ILLYRIA
>Who?

>SPIKE
>Never mind. So you need money? I�m sure Andrew won�t

>ILLYRIA
>I have been there less than a week and I already wish

>SPIKE
>You could stay here with me.
>
>ILLYRIA
>I do not see a need to stay anywhere. I barely sleep.

>SPIKE
>Go out. Modulate into a better dress and look for a

>ILLYRIA
>By myself?

>SPIKE
>Sure. I mean, you�ve been with us a good few months,

>Illyria cocks her head at him.

>Cut to- City street, Day. People come and go, into a

>approaches and �My Favourite Game� by the Cardigans
>begins to play, this is wicked cool. She is wearing a

>she has a handbag which she clutches. The blue
>patterning on her arms and forehead is gone but she
>still has her blue and black hair. For some reason
>she seems more intimidating than normal. This is

>Illyria bursts into a Starbucks. Her suddenness and

>
>ILLYRIA
>I seek employment.
>
>SNOT-FACED TEEN EMPLOYEE
>Oh, geez. Wait a sec. I�ll get the manager.
>
>Illyria stands perfectly still, people begin to murmur

>MANAGER
>Sorry, we ain�t got no vacancies.

>Illyria merely stares.

>MANAGER
>I can�t give you a job.

>Illyria waves her hand at a �help wanted� sign.

>MANAGER
>Seriously? You wanna work here.
>ILLYRIA
>I don�t see want as the word.

>MANAGER
>Great, way to impress. So are you good with people? Do

>
>ILLYRIA
>My comrades tell me I can be socially stunted.
>
>MANAGER
>U-huh. And why do you think they said that?
>
>ILLYRIA
>Because I killed them all. Once.

>CUT TO- A Virgin records store. Illyria is talking to

>Supervisor� who hands her a form.
>
>ILLYRIA
>(Indicating form) What does this part mean?
>
>SUPERVISOR
>Mother�s maiden name. Yeah, that means what was your

>
>ILLYRIA
>My mother was the great dark chaos before. The mist
>that ruled the universe aeons before your putrid kind
