Puppet Angel quotes from Angel

You're thinking the demon's taken on corporeal form.

Angel

That's my guess. It can only absorb the elements it needs if it manifests itself physically which means if we can find it in time, we can kill it. He'll be looking for a hostile environment. Somewhere damp. Probably be turning to primordial volcanic basalt for his regeneration.

Huh?

Sea caves.

Why didn't you just say that?

Pay attention! All you have to do is decide what the code will be.

Angel

Code.

For the security system we just had installed. [waves instruction booklet] Hello? What have we been talking about, anyway?

Angel

I don't...

Come on. The installation guy said it should be something easy to remember, like my birthday.

Angel

I don't know your birthday.

Yeah, tell me something you don't know that I don't know. But after eleven and a half months of punching it in to this, you won't have any excuses.

This contest is ended, is it.

Now I've won.

Are you sure?

Of course. I proved who had the power here.

You think?

Angel

[stands] What?

Your victory over him took but moments.

[looks back at his dead father] Yes?

But his defeat of you will last lifetimes.

What are you talking about? He can't defeat me now.

Nor can he ever approve of you, in this world, or any other. What we once were informs all that we have become. The same love will infect our hearts, even if they no longer beat. Simple death won't change that.

Love. [looks around at his dead family] Is this the work of love?

Darling boy. So young, still so very young.

[The episode starts from a black screen.]

We're doomed.

Angel

Maybe we can make a break for it.

Impossible.

Angel

Front exit?

We'd be spotted instantly.

Angel

Back door?

Blocked.

Angel

That's it, then. We're trapped.

We could try shouting fire... [seats in a theater are shown] It's not technically a crowded theater.

[performing Henrik Ibsen's "A Doll's House" on stage] 'One day, I might, yes. Many years from now, when I've lost my looks a little. Do not laugh.'

[checks his watch] Only another hour.

'I mean of course, a time will come when Torvald is not... is not...' ..Line??

PPrompter

[whispers] 'is not as devoted to me'.

Perhaps two.

What??

PPrompter

[whispers] 'is not as devoted to me'.

'is not as devoted to me.' [adds dramatic sob]

Angel

And I thought I knew Eternity.

[To Wesley] So... how was I?

It was really good.

Really? Thanks. Angel was I good?

Angel

What? Oh.. Uh... I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.

Thanks. [pause] You didn't say it.

Angel

I didn't?

I don't believe this!

Angel

Well, it was a night in a theater I'll never forget.

Angel

I'm not what you think.

You're not? Because... no reflection, dark private office, instantly knowing those letters weren't written in blood... I guess what I would think is "vampire".

Angel

Then again...

Which is impossible. Bela Lugosi, Gary Oldman, they're vampires.

Angel

Frank Langella was the only performance I believed, but...

This is real. You're real. Do you drink blood?

Angel

Yeah. But not human.

You're not a killer.

Angel

I gave that up.

Well, there's a support group for everything in this town, I guess.

A season and a half off the air and suddenly I'm nobody again.

Angel

[holding up some tabloids] Not according to these.

According to those, I've slept with Ernest Borgnine and I'm bulimic.

Angel

I hear Borgnine's a very skilled lover.

[Rebecca leans over a slightly woozy looking Angel twirling his champagne glass.]

Angel

I used to be, uh, a long time ago. I hurt a lot of people.

I don't believe that.

Angel

No, it's true. I was bad. Which is why I have to help people now. I'm trying to atone.

Cordelia says you've saved the world.

Angel

Couple times I helped. But I almost had it sucked into hell once too.

Still, don't you think after all this time you deserve some happiness?

Angel

[laughs] That's probably not a good idea. Hm. You smell so good. [Rebecca is running one hand under his shirt. Angel looks pretty spaced out.] So warm. I miss that.

You don't have to. You can have what you've been craving all these long, empty years. We both can. Forever.

Angel

Woah, woah. What are you saying?

You know what I'm saying. [Exposes her neck to him.] Do it. We won't have to be lonely, either one of us, ever again.

Angel

You're wrong. You don't know what it is you're asking me to do.

Of course I know. I'm not a fool. There is a price. I understand that.

Angel

You couldn't possibly understand.

I wasn't afraid, was I? When I looked into the mirror and you weren't there I didn't scream. I didn't run. I understood.

Angel

No. You weren't afraid. You looked into that mirror and all you saw was yourself. That's all you ever see, Rebecca, and that's what really frightens you. This isn't about the way the studio, the network, or the fans see you. It's about how you see yourself. Your own reflection has been corrupted into something unrecognizable. You think you want to stay the same? What you really want is to make it disappear.

You're supposed to help people. Help me.

Angel

You want me to help you? [Grabs her and pulls her into the kitchen.] Fine!

What are you doing?

[Angel opens the fridge and takes out a red-cross blood bag, still clutching Rebecca's left arm.]

Angel

It's a big decision, Rebecca. Eternity. [Takes the bag and squirts some of the blood into her mouth.] I think you need a taste of what it is you're really asking for. [Rebecca is trying not to gag on the blood. Angel backs away, gasping, staring at the blood-spattered actress in front of him.] I'm sorry, I... [he drops the packet of blood] What did you do to me?

Nothing.

Angel

You put something in my drink.

I just wanted you to relax a little, Angel. Oh, lower the defenses a little.

Angel

[grabs her] What was it?!

Just a little happy pill. [Angel drops his face on her shoulder, panting, and Rebecca starts crying.] Oh god. I'm so sorry.

Angel

Everybody is so sorry.

I just wanted us both to be happy.

Angel

Oh, but I am happy.

You are?

Angel

Yes.

[A low crunch emanates from Rebecca's neck. She screams and backs away holding her shoulder were Angel's face had been. Angel straightens up, in vamp-face.]

Angel

Perfectly happy.

[Among Angelus' dastardly deeds was a savage, if accurate, critique of Cordelia's acting.]

Angel

Cordelia --

OK, here's something I never thought I would say to you: Wesley's right. Forget about it.

Angel

But I really didn't mean --

Yes, you did. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to weasel out of it. Angelus may not be the most relaxing company, but at least he's honest. Shouldn't I expect the same from the not-evil version of my friends?

Angel

So, we're OK, then?

I'm way too big of a person to let something so petty get in the way of our friendship.

Angel

I appreciate that. [a pause] You're not gonna untie me, are you?

Pfft! [she exits]

Angel

Wesley? Cordelia? [cut to credits] Guys?

Angel

[regarding Faith] I thought she was in a coma.

Pretty lively coma.

Angelus? Are you here? Angelus?

[She walks into the other room. Angel is huddled up against a wall.]

Angel

Not everyone screams.

What?

Angel

When you kill them. Some just stand there frozen while others...

What are you doing? Are we playing a game?

Angel

The children, they usually scream.

[smiling] Hmm, yes. They sound just like little pigs. Have you brought me some? What you don't think I'll share? I can't believe that you would think I'm that insensitive.

[Angel turns away from the wall, looking ragged.]

Angel

We've drunk and killed for how long now? 140-odd years. We've drunk them all up and they're all dead.

Where have you been?

Angel

Don't!

What is this? Have you met someone else?

[Angel takes a hold of her shoulders and leans against her.]

No. Let go! [Pushes him away] Let go of me! What happened to you? Angelus, what happened?

Angel

That gypsy girl you brought me...her people found out. They did something to me.

A spell?

Angel

Funny. You would think with all the people I've maimed and killed I wouldn't be able to remember every single one. [Darla walks up to him.] Help me.

The spell...they gave you a soul! A filthy soul! No! [Scratches his cheek.] You're disgusting!

Angel

Darla.

[Darla picks up a wooden chair to ward him off.]

No! Get away from me!

Angel

You brought her here.

[Darla smashes the chair and picks up one of the legs and tries to stake Angel, but he avoids it.]

Angel

I am like you.

You're not like anything! Get away from me! Get out! [Angel stumbles out of the house] I'll kill you!"

[Angel runs out of the house but looks back one last time at Darla standing in the doorway with a stake still raised. He leaves, Darla lowers the stake.]

[Faith throws herself against Angel screaming.]

I'm evil! I'm bad! I'm evil! Do you hear me? I'm bad! Angel, I'm bad!

[She begins to sob, grabbing a hold of Angel's shirt and shaking him.]

I'm ba-ad. Do you hear me? I'm bad! I'm bad! I'm bad. Please. Angel, please, just do it.

[Wesley comes running out of the apartment building.]

Angel please, just do it. Just do it. Just kill me. Just kill me.

[Angel wraps his arms around her shoulders and pulls her against him. She over balances them and they sink to their knees, Angel still holding her as she cries.]

Angel

Shh. It's all right. It's okay. I'm here. I'm right here. Shh.

[The camera shows the knife dropping from Wesley's hand as he stands in the pouring rain, staring at them, while Faith cries and thunder rumbles overhead.]

You should be resting.
