Quotes[]
- Winifred Burkle: I know you're probably disappointed that you couldn't go fight that thing with Angel.
- Charles Gunn: Right, because why would I want to walk with a cute young woman on a beautiful night, when I could be out hacking and slaying an ugly boil-covered demon monster, and getting myself killed?
- Winifred Burkle: I can't apologize enough.
....
- Angel: Maybe he can make the noise stop.
- Cordelia Chase: Yeah.
- Angel: Isn't that what you want?
- Cordelia Chase: Yes! No. Well, no. Sure I hate looking and feeling like this, but if I lose the visions, I wouldn't be able to help you anymore. You wouldn't need me.
- Angel: That's not why I need you. You're important, and the visions are just after market extras like Hurst shift or Krager wheels.
- Cordelia Chase: Did you just compare me to a car?
- Angel: It was a very nice car.
....
- Gavin Park: This is a list of fifty-seven city code violations for your hotel, including earthquake proofing, asbestos and termites. Be advised I filed a copy of this with the city planning office.
- Angel: Gee, fifty-seven - is that a lot?
