Layers

Part of my coping routines involve working out to TNT's continuous showing of Angel. The other day this leaped out from "Underneath" and hit me in the gut.

FRED: (kisses his neck from behind him) Whose fault is that? (walks around to kneel in front of him) Tell me a joke.

WESLEY: (softly) Two men walk into a bar. The first man orders a scotch and soda. The second man remembers something he'd forgotten, and it doubles him over with pain. He falls to the floor shaking.... and then through the floor and into the Earth. He looks back up at the first man, but he doesn't call out to him. (looks down at Fred) They're not that close.
