It has been suggested that the presence of red giants in the vicinity of an active nucleus can contribute significantly to the line emission by the reprocessing of the continuum radiation onto the red giant's surface or in the stellar wind that usually accompanies these stars. We present herein the line profiles and the corresponding transfer functions for this model for the line emission, using a realistic phase space distribution function for the stars in the vicinity of the active nucleus.
