Here are the two options. Vote for your least favorite and the scene that gets the most votes will be eliminated. The last scene that remains will be the winner and go in the opening post.

#2

Cordelia: "They're finally in."
Doyle: "They're in."
Angel: "Okay…?"
Cordelia: "Your cards."
Doyle: "The cards."
Cordelia: "Your calling cards to leave with people so they know how to reach you."
Doyle: "Great idea! Calling cards. It's not like you have a signal folks can shine in the sky when ever they need help, you know?"
Angel: "Hey, look at that, there is our number. It's right next to a… a um - a - a butterfly?"
Doyle: "It's obviously not a butterfly, you idiot. It's a - a bird. No, no, wait, it's an owl. A - a bird that hunts at night. Brilliant! It's a- a…"
Cordelia: "It's an angel!"
Angel: "An angel. Right. It's an angel!"
Doyle: "Brilliant. So obvious and so clever on so many levels…"
Cordy: "Oh, shut up!"

#8

Cut to Cordy typing away on the computer. Doyle lounges in the background reading a newspaper.
Cordy: "This is so awesome. Our first walk-in client. Everything is going according to plan! See girl in distress, - see Angel save girl from druggy/stalker boyfriend, - and see (pulls a paper out of the printer and holds it up) Invoice! Ta-da!"
She shows the invoice to Doyle who looks less then impressed.
Cordy: "What?"
Doyle: "Nothing. You're doing a lovely job there. Looks very official."
Cordy: "So why are you not rejoicing at out first paying client?"
Doyle: "Because that's not money you're holding in your hand there, darling, that's mail. There's a big difference between that and actually getting paid."
Cordy: "But she has to pay! - Invoice! That's the rule of our whole, like, society!"
Doyle: "Defaulting? That's another popular rule in our society - especially with the down-and-outs. Not that I've perpetrated said heinousness myself…"
Cordy: "So what are you saying. Why bother?"
Doyle: "All I'm saying is that if we're ever going to take that cruise to the Bahamas together, we're going to need a lot more clients of means."
Cordy: "And an alternate reality in which you are Matthew McConaughey."

I'm voting for #2.
