Puppet Angel quotes from Angel

Cordelia

How's Fred?

Angel

She's alright, considering. We talked over what happened, and I think she'll becoming out of her room any decade now.

Cordelia

[chuckles] And how are you?

Angel

I'm o--

Cordelia

And don't say "okay." Angel, please, I know you. Never since you've came back from your grief trip I can tell that something's not right. And-and obviously, it's not. Buffy's dead, and I don't mean to diminish that. I miss her too. I just wanna say, I know that James with all his Romeo and Juliet madness, opened up a lot of wounds for you, but you'll be okay.

Angel

I'm okay.

Cordelia

Then, what's the problem?

Angel

That I'm okay. That losing Buffy didn't kill me, that I could deal with it. In all those years, no one ever mattered. Not like she did. And now she's gone... forever.

Cordelia

And you'll still here.

Angel

Yeah. I just feels like I'm betraying her somehow.

Cordelia

No. If you were a loser, if you were some sick obsessed vampire, that you'd go to a Snod demon, or whatever and get your heart cut out. But you're not. You're a living, breathing... well, living anyway, good guy, whose still fighting and trying to help people, and that's not betraying her, that's honoring her.

Angel

You think?

Cordelia

I'm Cordelia. I don't think. I know, okay?

Angel

Okay.

Angel

Yeah, sure. There's work?

Wesley

What do you know about Nester demons?

Angel

Well, they-they like to live in the walls of people's homes. They hatch several times a year, and don't you have to kill their queen or something?

Gunn

Yeah. And if you don't, they infest again, worse than ever.

Cordelia

We killed a bunch of them in Hancock Park a couple of months ago.

Wesley

I don't think we got the queen.

Angel

Well, let's go find out.

Angel

Fred! Good to see you out and about.

It is isn't it. Out and about. I've been forkin' with Gunn.

Wesley

The Host reads people's auras to set them on their path, in some shape or form that connects them to the Powers that Be. I'm thinking...

Angel

Sure, he might be able to reverse the process. That he might be able to use Cordelia in order to 'trace the call' back to the Powers.

Lorne

WAY outside my area of expertise, I should caution. But hey, who knew William Shatner could sing? (He laughs, glances at a horribly disfigured Cordelia, and awkwardly stops) Okay. Bad example.

Lilah

There's a young man who's been unfairly imprisoned. And you're going to save him. Isn't that what you do? Save people? You'll need those items to succeed.

Angel

I see. I do this for you and you stop sending Cordy the killer visons.

Lilah

No, you'll do this because I tell you to.

Gunn

No matter what else, I think I proved that you can trust me when I could have killed you and I didn't.

Angel

No. You'll prove that I can trust you when the day comes that you have to kill me -- and you do.

Cordelia

(on Fred) She's got the big puppy love. I mean, who wouldn't? You're handsome and brave and heroic, emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning evil, and let's face it, a eunuch.

Angel

Hey! How can you...I'm not a eunuch.

Cordelia

Angel, it's just a figure of speech.

Angel

Find another one.

Cordelia

I just mean that sex is a no-no for you because of the whole "if you know perfect bliss you'll turn evil curse." Really no cure for that, is there?

Angel

Hi.

Hey. How's your head? S-Sorry about all that...

Angel

No, I gather I had it coming.

Uh, yes.

Angel

Fred, I've been meaning to talk to you about something.

Mm-hmm. Okay. Is this about how you're not like other men... what, with that curse and all? And, how you're really fond of me, but that's as far as it goes?

Angel

Um... Yeah.

Cordelia explained it to me. She said you'd probably just screw it up.

Angel

Oh, she did, did she? Well, she's probably right. What?

It's like something out of Fitzgerald. [sighs] The man who can have everything but love. Well, maybe in some ways, you're better off, because love is... Well, in a way, it's everything. But it's also heartache and dissappointment. And those are good things to avoid.

Cordelia

Angel, Willow's on the phone. She's alive. Buffy's alive.

Buffy?

Cordelia

Lemme break it down for you, Fred.

Oh, Angel, I know that I am a Slayer, and you're a vampire and it would be impossible for us to be together, but--

But... my gypsy curse sometimes prevents me from seeing the truth. Oh, Buffy...

Yes, Angel?

I love you so much, I almost forgot to brood.

And just because I sent you to Hell that one time doesn't mean that we can't just be friends.

Or possibly more?

Gasp! No! We mustn't!

Kiss me!

Bite me!

Angel

[entering] How 'bout you both bite me?

You're back!

Gunn

How'd it go?

Angel

I think those two pretty much summed it up.

And to think, we were wondering when to call the police on a bunch of superheroes.

Angel

Oh, I'm not really a hero.

Gunn

More like a blood-sucking fiend.

Well frankly, Angel, I don't care if you drink pig's blood, cow's blood, or those froofy little imported beers. You saved my little girl.

Angel

Well, I wouldn't have had to if she hadn't gone all Amazonian and whacked that thing with a golf club.

Well, I'll tell you. I haven't seen a stroke like that since Nicklaus took on Gary Player in the '63 - -

Bob Hope Desert Classic (laugh together like old friends)

Cordelia

Fred can barely tie her shoes without Mr. 'oh, you're my big, fat hero!' around.

Angel

[quietly] You think I'm fat?

Angel

[Looks at the walls] Are you gonna remember everything that's up there?

Well, sure. It's a story. Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived all alone in a horrible cave - so far from home it made her chest hurt. And every day in that horrible cave, the girl tried to figure out a way to escape. None of her plans ever succeeded, of course, and she'd almost given up hopin' - when one day, just like in a fairy tale - a handsome man rode up on a horse and saved her, and took her back to his castle. Now you'd think that was the end, wouldn'tcha? Dumb old fairy tales and their happily ever afters. But see, the minute they got back to the castle, the handsome man went away again. And even though she didn't mean to - didn't want to - high up in that castle the girl just built herself another cave. Hoping he would save her again. [Looks at Angel] But you can't save me this time. Can you?

Gunn

[playing a video game] Dead! So dead! So very, very dead. Just how dead are you, huh?

Angel

I'm tired of being the dead one.

Angel

This is impossible.

Darla

Tell me about it, daddy!

You slept with her?

Angel

Vampires can't have children. Wesley?

Ah, no, he's right. It's not possible.

That's not what I asked.

Darla

You know we can't. I know we can't. But we did.

I wonder if this might not be that bad thing we were expecting.

Darla

What did you do to me?

Angel

Cordy that's Darla. Maybe you don't want to...

Did you or did you not look me in the eye and say that you would *never* do a thing like this with her?

Darla

Oh, he lied? What a surprise.

Hi. I'm Fred. Is water okay, or did you want some blood?

Angel

Cordy. I'm sorry I lied. It was just...it was a very dark time.

Oh! You used her to make you feel better during your dark time. Well, that makes it all heroic.

Angel

It wasn't like that. It just happened. It wasn't like I went evil or anything, I just...

You just went male. [She brushes the hair out of Darla's face.] Have you been to a doctor?

Darla

No. But I have been to every shaman and seer in the Western Hemisphere.

And what did they say?

Darla

They don't know what it is. They don't know what it means. Nothing like this has ever happened.

Angel

Maybe it's an hysterical pregnancy.

Darla

You wanna feel it kick?

Does it kick a lot?

Darla

Like crazy.

Angel

[talking about Darla] Where is she?

Wesley

She got away.

Gunn

We tried to stop her by hitting her fists and feet with our faces.
