...Didn't I just say that we're not having this discussion right now? But okay, fine. You're gonna push? Fine.
[If she refuses to calm down until they have this out again, so be it.]
I know your life has been tough. I know you've had to make sacrifices for the greater good - we both have. And it sucks. But that's how it goes, sweetie. You had to give up some years so that a whole planet can be made safe. That's...that's a pretty friggin big deal, Angel! But you're special. You could handle it. You could understand how important what we were doing is. And I did everything in my power to give you everything I could. It's me and you against the universe, Angel, it always has been.
And besides...you looked around lately? You looked at yourself? We're not in Kansas anymore, sweetheart. You aren't even a Siren, those don't exist here. Neither do weapons. You're just my daughter. And right now you're being extremely hurtful.
Not to mention...uh...well, Angel, for someone with a brain as massive and impressive as yours, you're being pretty stupid. What are you gonna do? You don't have money, you don't know how to take care of yourself. What, are you gonna sleep on the side of the road? No, you sure as hell aren't. There's a home waiting for you.
[He sighs again and his voice softens. Because as frustrated and upset as he's getting with her...it's still kinda nice to see her on her own two feet. It's been a long time. And she's acting like he enjoyed doing that to her. It was a necessity.]
[It's not anymore.]
Come on. I'll fix you dinner, you can take a bath, have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we can go can pick out stuff to decorate your room.
