Cordelia Chase quotes from Angel

Wesley

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.

Cordelia

Huh?

Wesley

Sea caves.

Cordelia

Why didn't you just say that?

Cordelia

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

Angel

Code.

Cordelia

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

Angel

I don't...

Cordelia

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

Angel

I don't know your birthday.

Cordelia

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.

Cordelia

There are some ugly critters in here. Someone ought to create an intra-demon dating base. You know, like archfiend.org, where the lonely and the slimy connect. I was just joking, Mister Grouchy-Pants. When was the last time you had a dating base?

Wesley

For your information, I lead a rich and varied social life.

Cordelia

Oh, I know. Every night it's Jeopardy, followed by Wheel of Fortune and a cup of hot cocoa. Look out, girls, this one can't be tamed!

Cordelia

Why isn't Wolfram & Hart in here?

Wesley

Because they're lawyers, not demons.

Cordelia

Fine line, you ask me.

Wesley

We're doomed.

Angel

Maybe we can make a break for it.

Wesley

Impossible.

Angel

Front exit?

Wesley

We'd be spotted instantly.

Angel

Back door?

Wesley

Blocked.

Angel

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

Wesley

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

Cordelia

[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.'

Wesley

[checks his watch] Only another hour.

Cordelia

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

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

Wesley

Perhaps two.

Cordelia

What??

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

Cordelia

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

Angel

And I thought I knew Eternity.

Cordelia

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

Wesley

It was really good.

Cordelia

Really? Thanks. Angel was I good?

Angel

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

Cordelia

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

Angel

I didn't?

Cordelia

I don't believe this!

Angel

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

Cordelia

Well, oh, why don't you juss-ss...

Juss-s? Line? 'Of course a time will come when Torvald is not as devoted to me'. You were really, let me tell you, bad.

Cordelia

Stop it.

Why? You didn't. I mean, I've been to hell but *that* was so much worse! [To Rebecca] You had to be there. I mean, there wasn't a dry eye in the house, everybody was just laughing so hard. [To Cordelia] Here's a thought. Maybe you can get Raven here to coach you, then you'd actually suck!

Angel

Cordelia --

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 --

Cordelia

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?

Cordelia

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?

Cordelia

Pfft! [she exits]

Angel

Wesley? Cordelia? [cut to credits] Guys?

Angel

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

Cordelia

Pretty lively coma.

Cordelia

Oh, I've missed that smell!

Wesley

Camembert, I believe.

Cordelia

What? No, money. I like to smell a little money once in a while.

Angel

She's not just saying that. Hide some in the office sometime and watch her. It's uncanny.

Cordelia

They locked ya in, huh?

Angel

No, I just love ol' meat lockers.

Wesley

You should've tried to call us on your cell phone. You probably forgot you had it.

Angel

These things hardly ever work. Besides, it was a lot easier and quicker to just ... Look I'm the boss here, I ... say when we're gonna use the cell phones and ... people are gonna die here and I ... have to go.

Cordelia

I want to know what it says about me, if there's torrid romance in my future, massive wealth, if I have to I'll settle for enviable fame.

Wesley

It's an ancient sacred text, not a Magic Eight Ball.

Cordelia

Nobody gets my humor.

Angel

I thought it was funny.

Cordelia

Oh.

Wesley

He's got a soul but he's not a part of the world...he can never be part of the world.

Cordelia

Because he doesn't want stuff? That's ridiculous!

Cordelia

Hey I want that!

Wesley

What connects us to life?

Cordelia

Right now i'm going with 'Doughnut'

Wesley

What connects us to life is the simple truth we are part of it. We live, we grow, we change but Angel...

Cordelia

..can't do any of those things

Wesley

The vampire with the soul, once he fulfills his destiny will 'shanshu.' Become human. It's his reward.

Cordelia

Wow! Angel human!

Angel

That'll be nice.

Gunn

I saw you in bed.

Cordelia

What?

Wesley

I can see that this is none of my business.

Gunn

You too.

Wesley

Now wait just a moment.

Gunn

At the hospital. After Angel's building blew, he sent me there to keep an eye on you.
