Wesley Wyndam-Pryce quotes from Angel

She's impure? She-she's not a virgin? [Starts towards Wesley] You...

Woah! That's what "impure" meant?

CCordy

She slept with him?

You were supposed to be Angel. This wouldn't have happened. That's why I hired him. He's a eunuch.

You slept with her?

A eunuch?

Wesley

Things happen. Two young people, danger...

What are you talking about?

She was a virgin before you got here.

I was not a virgin!

What?

Wesley

Oh, thank goodness.

I could have told you she was no virgin.

Not a eunuch.

One day as Angel! One day, and he's getting some.

What? How could you. I kept you away from all men!

The curse isn't even all that clear.

Daddy, you remember that chauffeur from when I was 16? And the one at 18? I haven't been a virgin for a very long time. I even dated Rick.

[Bryce turns to look at one of the robed guards, who hurriedly and quietly makes his way from the room.]

Ginny, don't do this! Don't make me angry!

Right. Because then you might do something bad. You were going to kill me! [She punches Bryce, knocking him to the ground.] You are not my father anymore.

Not a eunuch.

Cordelia has a point.

Finally!

Wesley

The last time Darla emerged she wanted to be found. Now she is out there among six million other people.

She could be sitting on top of anybody.

Come on, guys! We're a detective agency. We investigate things! That's what we're good at!

That's what we suck at. Let's face it - unless there's a website called www.Oh-By-the-way-we-have-Darla-stashed-here.com, we're pretty much out of luck.

Angel...

Cordy, just take a message. [To Wesley] So you think this is a setup?

Wesley

We mustn't rule it out.

Angel!

Cordy, please, I'm talking.

Hi Darla. He can't talk right now. He'll call you back once he's found you. (Angel runs over to Cordelia reaching for the phone) Yeah, bye-bye.

[Angel grabs the phone before she can hang it up.]

Darla?

My boy. My darling boy...

Where are you?

Better question: Where was I? I don't remember anything. It's a great big nothing. Could it be there's no hell?

There's a hell. A few of them. I've been to one.

[Cordelia has dyed her hair black.]

Wesley

What happened to your head?

Excuse me?

Wesley

Your hair. It's.. new. It's great. When did this happen?

Ten days ago.

[Cordelia returns to the hotel with a large red stain on her blouse.]

Cordelia. What happened?

It's not blood, it's cocktail sauce. Courtesy of Mr. Star Shmoozer here.

I mean your head. Your hair. It looks.. great. When did this happen?

Wesley

Ten days ago. Pay attention.

Wesley

I even spilled it on her in front of Mr. Fat Chow... Chow.

Chow Yun-Fat!

What? You met Chow Yun-Fat?

Angel's back. And he has Darla with him!

[Wesley gets up and he and Cordelia walk around the counter to confront Angel and Darla.]

Hi. You're planning on sleeping over?

I'm dying.

So just for the one night then.

Wesley

Dying?

He doesn't believe it.

Wesley

Angel, what's going on?

Wolfram and Hart showed her some medical files supposedly proving that she's only got a few months left to live.

So maybe more than the one night.

Wesley

And you believe it's some kind of trick.

We're talking about Wolfram and Hart! Of course it's a trick. They're trying to play some kind of mind game.

Wesley

To what end?

I don't know, but we're not gonna take the bait.

No, you just don't wanna believe it, that's all.

I don't wanna believe anything from them.

Wesley

It's true. They can't really be trusted.

I don't trust them. But I know a thing or two about mind games. [To Angel] So do you. We've played them together for over a century.

Yes, but you were just soulless, blood-sucking demons. They're lawyers.

[to Darla] She's right. We were amateurs.

[Angel has brought a terminally ill Darla to the Hyperion Hotel]

[to Darla] First up, you're a prisoner.

Wesley

I'd have to concur with that, yes.

See, you've got our friend all in knots.

Wesley

Can't say we like you much.

So, sorry about the dying, but if you try to escape, we will hit you.

Wesley

On the head.

With very large and heavy objects. Okay?

S2 The Trial

View quote →

Okay, I'm still tryin' to get this family tree straight. Darla sired Angel.

Wesley

Correct.

And Angel sired this Drusilla.

Wesley

Back when he and Darla were together, yes.

But, before Angel got his soul back, right?

Wesley

Certainly.

Now these lawyers, they brought Darla back as human. Now this Drusilla vamp goes and bites Darla?

Wesley

So it would seem.

Making her a vampire again.

Wesley

That's the cosmological upshot, yes. Darla's human self has died, and some time before dawn, unless Angel can stop it, she will rise again, a soulless demon.

So that means...

Wesley

Clock is ticking.

No, no, what I'm sayin' is, that means the granddaughter remade the grandmother.

Wesley

Oh. Yes.

Man, somehow that weirds me out more than the whole blood-suckin' thing.

S2 Reunion

Wesley

And you just walked away?

No, I walked to my car and then I drove away.

You didn't do anything?

Wesley

You allowed Darla and Drusilla to have free reign.

I didn't bring either one of them into this. They did.

Wesley

You could have stopped them.

And I will.

When? After they've finished off all the people you don't like?

Wesley

Angel, while it's certainly true that these lawyers brought this on themselves, what you did is...

...is wrong.

You went too far.

Wesley

We've all been worried about you, and I guess it's fair to say we all share some of the blame. We should have spoken up sooner.

And louder.

You have to change the way you've been doing things. Don't you see where this is taking you?

Wesley

Listen to her! Right now the three of us are all that's standing between you and real darkness.

Best believe that, man.

I do. You're all fired.

[Angel gets up and walks away while the other three sit there like frozen statues.]

[Angel has just fired Cordelia, Gunn and Wesley]

What just happened? Can someone explain to me what just happened here?

Wesley

I believe we were fired.

Canned.

Wesley

Let go.

Axed.

Wesley

Shown the door.

Booted.

All right! I get it. But... what just... happened?

Wesley

Well, how is the man supposed to run a business if his employees won't follow directives?

Well, was one of his directives, "Hire pansy-ass British guys"?

Wesley

My arse is not pansy.

...

[Later, with the group more inebriated.]

Wesley

Hypocrite!

Ass-pansy!

One thing you can say about Angel: at least he's consistent! It's always some little blonde driving him over the edge! [sighs] What are we supposed to do now?

I think I'll grab a burrito before I head home. [Wesley and Cordelia stare at him.] What?

Wesley

No, no, by all means, if you're hungry.

Hey, this was just a side gig for me, all right? The extra cash was nice while it lasted but - [shrugs] Angel wants to go all commando? No skin off my nose.

Well my nose skin is angry. And hurt. And ...

Wesley

... disappointed?

[Cordelia nods.]

[Wesley, Cordelia, and Gunn are huddled miserably in their derelict new office.]

[entering with a basket] Hey, Wow! This place is great. I brought champagne. You guys must be so excited... [takes in their looks] in that really dry, suicidal way.

Wesley

[kisses her] Sorry, sweetheart. You just caught us in a moment of ... well ...

Reality.

Oh, that. I avoid that.

How do you avoid reality?

Money. It cures everything but boredom. [holds up basket] And food cures boredom, so there you go. Imported chips and packets of cheese.

Thanks.

Wesley

We'll enjoy them huddled around our pathetic candles.

We'll make pathetic nachos.

You guys are really down.

Yeah. And don't try to tell us there's no way to go but up, 'cause the truth is, there's always more down.

Where's Cordy?

Wesley

We don't know. Not here.

You check her pad?

I stopped by there earlier.

You enjoying your visit to 1973? I meant her message pad.

Oh right, that's a good idea. [Picks up a pencil] Oh, here. Use this you can make a rubbing of the impressions she left, see what the last thing was that she wrote.

Or we could just read the carbon.
