Quotes

 * Cordelia Chase: This producer was so nice. He said I was his first choice. We're going out to dinner tonight.
 * Angelus: Tonight?
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Well, best you get back on the horse, I suppose.
 * Cordelia Chase: He is so sweet! He says that all I have to do is let him impregnate me with his demon master's seed, and I've got the part!

....
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Don't move a muscle, demon spawn! Cowards! Don't make me trash it out of you. Where do you lay your eggs? In the cellar?
 * Angel: Wesley...
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: In the bedroom?
 * Angel: Yeah, that's right. Termites lay their eggs anywhere, such as next door. And we fight termites -- wherever they may roam.
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Sorry about the door.

....
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: As a heathen I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with the biblical story of David and Goliath. But I assure you it's of particular relevance to this situation.

....
 * Cordelia Chase: All right, Dennis. Knock it off. This is the one guy I've actually liked in a long time. And if you keep killing the mood, I'll kill you! All right, empty threat, you being a ghost and already dead. But I'll do something worse! I'll play Evita around the clock, the one with Madonna!

....
 * Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: That was bracing.
 * Angel: Yeah. Baby just hatched. Wouldn't want to run into him when he grows up and gets his driver's license.

....
 * Angel: You look nice.
 * Cordelia Chase: Aagh! Oh, and now, I look like the Joker.
 * Angel: Sorry.
 * Cordelia Chase: Hopefully, I'm still too young and carefree for a heart attack. Would it kill you to hum a little tune when slipping up on people?
 * Angel: I don't hum.

....
 * Angel: All right so, why is Mrs. Benson filed under "F?"
 * Cordelia Chase: Because she's from France. Remember what a pain she was?
 * Angel: Yeah. It made me wanna drink a lot.
 * Cordelia Chase: Well, that's the French for ya.
