Heroes Don’t Accept The World The Way it Is — They FIGHT It

One Does Not Bargain with The Infinite — 

You ALIGN with It.

The Air Attack Warning sounds like This —

This is The Sound : —

When you hear The Air Attack Warning,

You and Your Family must Take Cover.

ANGEL 

Lindsey, we can philosophize all night. 

Hell... (chuckles) 

We could do it forever, huh? 

I don't need to eat, sleep, drink. (sits) 

How about you?

LINDSEY 

(grins) 

That's what I like to see... the Angel of yore. 

Takes no prisoners, suffers no fools. 

How 'bout this? It's here. 

It's been here all along. Underneath. 

You're just too damn stupid to see it.

ANGEL 

(leans forward) 

See what?

LINDSEY 

The Apocalypse, man. 

You're soaking in it.

SPIKE 

I've seen an apocalypse or two in my time. 

I'd know I one was under my nose.

LINDSEY 

Not an apocalypse. 

The Apocalypse. 

What'd you think, a gong was gonna sound? 

Time to jump on your horses and fight the big fight? 

Starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys. 

You're playing for 

The Bad Guys. 

Every day you sit behind your desk 

and you learn a little more 

how to accept The World The Way it is. 

Well, here's the rub... 

Heroes Don't Do That. 

Heroes Don't Accept 

The World The Way it is. 

They Fight It.

ANGEL (sits back) 

You're saying everything we do... it's a distraction... to keep us busy from looking under the surface.

LINDSEY 

(snaps fingers) 

Ding! We have A Winner!

 

The World keeps sliding towards 

Entropy and Degradation, 

and what do you do? 

You sit in your big chair, 

and you sign your checks, 

just like The Senior Partners planned. 

The War's Here, Angel. 

And you're already 

Two Soldiers Down.
