AtS Question

[shipperx]

Question for fanfic info:

What was the episode near the end of AtS where Lindsay explained that the apocalypse was ongoing and already happening? Or, even better, what was it that Lindsay said? (And it was Lindsay, wasn't it?)

I know this one!

It was Underneath - and Lindsey's words are as follows:

LINDSEY
You know what I know. Look around. The world's a cesspool... full of selfish and greedy beasts. We live, we die. Even you, babe.

EVE
Lindsey, don't.

LINDSEY
You still happy to see me?

ANGEL
Yeah, hell's on earth. Holland manners tried to sell me that line 3 years ago.

LINDSEY
Did you ever prove him wrong?

ANGEL
All how you look at the glass. You know, Lindsey, we can philosophize all night. Hell... We could do it forever, huh? I don't need to eat, sleep, drink. How about you?

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

LINDSEY
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 2 soldiers down.

Underneath, after they pull Lindsey out of hell-

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 2 soldiers down.

Thanks! I could remember the Holland Manners moment, but that wouldn't work for me because Spike wasn't there. But the scene with Lindsey was teasing my memory.

Thanks so much! This will be very helpful.

Does it mean the next chapter of Arriving Somewhere Not Here is on the way?
