[looking at a dead body] So beautiful. Not a blemish, not a freckle. Perhaps we should have preserved that beauty for eternity?
AAngelus
Still, he won't now age.
No, but he'll rot. Seems a pity.
When I bit into him, I could hear the ocean.
I'm full and warm, yet all alone.
AAngelus
That's not true, precious. You've got us.
Not in the least. You won't even hurt me just a little bit.
All you have to do is ask.
No. His head's too full of you, Grandmother.
Don't be cross. I could be your mummy...
AAngelus
Well, if you're lonely, Dru, why don't you make yourself a playmate?
I could! I could pick the wisest and bravest knight in all the land and make him mine forever with a kiss.
[walking past] Bloody... watch where you're going!
Or you could just take the first drooling idiot that comes along.
AAngelus
You think she'll find a good one?
[They walk on but Dru keeps looking after William.]
[France 1765]
AAngelus
How many men do you supposed he has with him?
I can't die. Not like this.
AAngelus
Well, we can try to flee to the hills to the south.
We'll never make it before the sun rises, not by foot.
AAngelus
We'll not make it easy for 'em, I can tell you that. They're men, mortals. Between the two of us we can go out with a reputation. Even death with the right companion...
[As he turns back towards Darla she hits him across the face with a 2x4, knocking him down. While slowly picks himself back up, she hurriedly mounts the horse.]
I hope you survive this, Angelus. If you do, maybe we'll meet again in Vienna.
[Connor walks up to the cage where Angelus is sitting on the floor in a dark corner. Connor just glares at Angelus.]
Everyone's afraid of you.
AAngelus
Is that my shirt?
AAngelus
Looks good on you, son.
AAngelus
She looks good on everybody.
Angel warned me about you. Said I should remember you're not my real father.
AAngelus
Yeah, that was a nice speech. Touching. I think it ended with you promising to kill me.
AAngelus
Kind of unnecessary, don't you think? I mean, with your track-record, I'll be staking myself by the end of the day.
AAngelus
Darla felt the same way. It made her sick, you squirming inside her. So, she jammed a stake in her own heart, just so she wouldn't have to hear your first whiny breath.
AAngelus
Then there was Holtz. It disappointed him so much that he stabbed himself in the neck.
My fa...Holtz was a good man. All he ever wanted was for you to get the punishment you deserve. And you will.
AAngelus
When you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. (gasps) Screwing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hmm...there should be a play.
You think I care what you say? Angel told me how you'd try to hurt me, how you aren't my real dad, just some animal in a cage. Angel's my dad.
That's what he told me. And he thought I believed him. The truth is, Angel's just something that you're forced to wear. You're my real father.
I've imagined this moment many times. I've read everything ever written about you.
AAngelus
Stop, I'm blushing.
To be one-on-one with the legendary Angelus. As a former watcher, it's a high point.
AAngelus
Buttering me up. Getting me all relaxed, hm? Not the most innovative interrogation technique, but... OK, I'll play.
AAngelus
Hey, open book. Anything you want to know. How sweet that virgin gypsy tasted. The special smell of a newborn's neck. My first nun--now that's a great story.
AAngelus
Don't be coy, Wes. You're just dying to know about the big Beastie. Fire away.
All right. Did you know the Beast?
AAngelus
Well, now that's a question. Not a great question. Not even an insightful question. Not a Wyndham-Pryce-worthy question.
[Lorne, Gunn, Fred, and Cordelia are watching Wesley and Angelus on the monitor set up on the front desk.]
AAngelus
[on monitor] Come on, Wes. Not like your schoolgirl crush is a secret.
Charles, remember, we can't believe anything Angelus says.
How 'bout the stuff that's true? Can we believe that?
He distorts everything. He lies with the truth. It's part of what makes him so dangerous.
Yeah, don't let him get to you, kiwi.
He's not the only one that's gettin'.
[on monitor] You've found a vulnerability, exploited it. Well done. Can we move on now?
AAngelus
I'm just getting started.
AAngelus
[on monitor] Which do you think is worse, Wes? Stealing my kid like you did, or banging him, like Cordelia.
[Fred looks at Cordelia then at Gunn, Lorne shakes his head, Cordelia just stares at the monitor deadpan.]
AAngelus
All that bumping and grinding. Fire raining in the sky. Quite a picture. Well, more of a snapshot, 'cause Connor...
Now, that's just ridiculous. Connor's Angel's son. It'd be like sleeping with your own...
[Lorne gestures that she stop.]
AAngelus
[on monitor] At least you thought you were doing the right thing. Hey, who's a guy gotta kill to get a drink around here?
[Fred and Gunn walk down the stairs with blood for Angelus. Gunn's carrying a crossbow.]
AAngelus
Othello and Desdemona. My favorite couple. Oh, wait, Desdemona wasn't in love with the other guy. So much for stand by your man. Then again, you probably like her on her knees.
Keep talking. I'll sweep out the cage when I'm done.
AAngelus
Oh. Provocative. Get me all riled up. You think that's what your boss would want?
AAngelus
You might want to tell Wesley that. Ah, Fred. You look all fresh and sweet, but I hear you at night in your room with Gunn. The things you say. I'm lying there, listening, hands under the covers... I can't help myself. It's so... gripping.
This coming from a guy who can't get any. Ever.
[Angelus steps back, and Fred pushes the cart up to the bars. She stands there, holding the cart, waiting for Angelus to take the glass of blood. He picks up the glass, eyeing Fred who won't even look at him. When she finally meets his gaze, he kicks the cart forward, causing Fred to fall forward on it where he can reach her. He pulls her up, her back toward him, and puts his arm around her neck.]
AAngelus
Might get some now. I like the way you move, Fred. Do it just a little to the left.
AAngelus
Come on, Charles, save her! Come on! Save, her Charles!
[Angelus is interrupted when he's hit in the arm with a tranquilizer dart shot by Wesley, who's standing on the stairs. Angelus's grip loosens and Fred steps away from the bars into Gunn's waiting arms. Wesley shoots Angelus again, in the chest this time. Angelus looks at the dart, then collapses backwards.]
You and I are gonna make a deal.
AAngelus
Tough. Did you practice that in front of the mirror a few times? Lemme guess. You want to know about the Beast.
AAngelus
Oh. And in return, I get what? (paces) Wouldn't mind a car. I hear the new Mustang is nice.
AAngelus
What's a better ride than a Mustang?
That's the offer. No more stalling, no more games. You tell us what you know, you get me.
AAngelus
Must be some confusion. You took out the soul. Still have the brain.
Then use it. The Beast, the darkness,the world is falling apart. We're out of time, we're out of ideas. You're the end of the line.
AAngelus
Wes was better at buttering me up.
You know what it means to be a champion.
AAngelus
I'm trying so hard to forget.
Sometimes a sacrifice needs to be made.
AAngelus
And you're the little lamb. Not that there aren't a few things I wouldn't mind doing to that body. Other than the obvious.
Tell us about the Beast, and you can do whatever you want.
Look in my eyes. Angel knows me. You know me. Better than anyone. So, when you look at me, you know I'm not lying.
AAngelus
Here I thought you'd be halfway to Georgia by now.
I told you I'd be back. I'm back.
AAngelus
How'd the little field trip turn out? Priestesses still feisty?
We found a little boy, his sister, mom, dad, grandma. All dead.
AAngelus
Oh, God! I'm always missing the fun stuff.
The Beast butchered them.
AAngelus
So? Did you bring me back a souvenir? Maybe a stray baby toe? (chuckles, stands) Come on, Cordy. Where's your sense of humor?
AAngelus
Well, don't blame me for our little debacle. I told you everything I know.
AAngelus
And who's fault is that? Doesn't matter. I showed you mine. Now it's time to show me yours.
The deal was: you give us information, we save the world, you get me. Well, world not saved.
AAngelus
You're not thinking I'm just gonna let this go?
Not seeing a whole lot of other options. With the big steel cage and all.
AAngelus
Won't be in here forever.
'Bout another hour. Forgot to tell you the best part. We're putting your soul back.
AAngelus
Not gonna happen.
Oh, but it is. Just in time for the primo apocalypse that's coming. Too bad. I know how you love those.
AAngelus
Been looking forward to it all day. Still am.
Thing is, you're never coming back. Angel's going to make sure of that.
What you don't get, Angelus, is that you're nobody. Just a disease. And Angel can't wait to be rid of you.
AAngelus
I think I'll start with the twins. I just love a woman with nice ripe thighs.
[He suddenly reaches out to grab Cordelia, but misses her by less than an inch. Cordelia doesn't even flinch.]
[Cordelia smirks and walks away]
AAngelus
The more you piss me off, the longer I'll keep you alive. Oh, something tells me she's a screamer.
WWaitress
Compliments of the lady.
[Gestures to a lady at the bar who raises her glass toward Angelus, wholooks at the lady at the bar, then back to his friends .]
AAngelus
Yeah, as if. Anyway, I couldn't believe how easy it was luring the slayer into my little welcome home from prison party.
VVampire1
Wish I could have been there when she saw the Beast.
AAngelus
The guy wasn't gonna win any personality contests, but he put on a good show. Slapped her around real nice.
VVampire2
Like a little bunny?
AAngelus
Bloody, whimpering bunny. Once she was tenderized, I gave Rocko the shaft. Never saw it coming, dumbass.
DDemon
Yeah, soul-boy. Nice job, bringing the sun back.
[Angelus overhears the demon at the bar. He smirks and the other vampires at the table are frozen in fear. Angelus stands and goes up to the demon. The demon turns to look at Angelus.]
DDemon
Oh, hey, Angelus. Buy you a warm one?
AAngelus
After I rip out your windpipe so it stops making that annoying talky sound.
DDemon
Wait! I have a condition. Whoop! Goh, boy! Dirty bitch! Tourettes. You've heard of it, right?
AAngelus
Yeah, causes uncontrollable impulses...like yanking out throats.
[Squeezes on the demon's throat.]
[Suddenly Angelus hears a mysterious imposing, echoy voice.]
Hello, Angelus. It's time we had that talk.
