Fred quotes from Angel

Bad things always happen here.

(looking at Cordelia's fashion magazine) Why do girls want to look like that? I spent years in a cave starving, what's their excuse?

That's the tragic beauty of a cosmic convergence. I- I mean, he just plays his own small part. He comes here looking for Angel and Darla, and in the process ends up finding Angel's unborn child. Who, as it turns out, wasn't evil at all as we feared, but was actually meant to be some sort of Messianic figure. But Holtz kills it before it's even born, and his vengeance somehow triggers the end of the world! (pause, off everyone's looks) Or not. It could go either way. Have you thought of a name yet?

I brought you some of your stuff from the office. Things there . . . Well. Things. Gunn and I found your notes about the baby. The prophecy. You took him away cause you thought Angel was gonna kill him. You were trying to protect them. Both of them. I just wanted you to know I understand that. And I also wanted to say I thought what Angel tried to do to you was wrong. And I'm sorry. But he was right to blame you, Wesley. You should have come to us. You should have trusted us instead of going to Holtz behind our back. You were supposed to be our friend and you didn't even . . . If Angel sees you again, he'll kill you, Wesley. This time for real. Don't come back to the hotel. Ever. The prophecy was false. Angel was never gonna hurt Connor. It was all for nothing.

Okay. So he survived an unspeakable hell dimension. Who hasn't? You -- you can't just leave him alone in the streets of Los Angeles!

You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

I'm gonna study, mom. I'm gonna learn every damn thing they know up there, and then figure out some stuff they don't. And I'll be careful. I'll even be dull, boring. Cross my heart.

[dying in his arms] Wesley, why can't I stay?

Can't get back. There is no back.

Angel

No, there is. If we can open the portal....

The portal! She fell through the portal!

Angel

Who did?

That other girl. I couldn't save her. I was arrested. They got her. She's a slave. She'll die!

Angel

Oh, Cordy. No, she's fine. They made her a princess.

They... really? Oh. When I got here they... they didn't do that. Well. That's nice for her.

Are-are you sure about that?

Cordelia

Trust me. Tacos everywhere. And soap.

Gunn

Yo, that portal-jumping is a fun ride. We sell it to a theme park, we could get paid.

Angel

Okay, can I say it? I wanna say it.

Angel

There's no place like-- Willow?

Cordelia

What's...?

Angel

It's Buffy.

I came out of my room. Small steps, just like you said.

Angel

Go to your room and stay there!

Okay.

Angel

Fred! Good to see you out and about.

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

Cordelia

I'm right as rain.

I never understood that saying-right as rain. How is rain right? Or wrong for that matter? Okay, I suppose if there's a flood it's wrong, and speaking of floods, or just being overwhelmed, what's it like to have a vision?

Cordelia

Wow. Y'know, next to you, I am downright linear.

Wesley

(about Angel making out with someone on his desk) This isn't like him.

Cordelia

What? This is totally like him. Doing the mystery dance with some cheap blonde?

Brunette. She was a cheap brunette.

Cordelia

You're right. This isn't like him.

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?
