Lawson quotes from Angel

[To Angel] You gave me just enough, didn't you? Enough of your soul to keep me trapped between who I was and who I should be. I'm nothin'... because of you.

Come on Chief, give me a mission. [Angel stakes Lawson, killing him]

Aren't ya gonna ask me how I got in here?

Angel

No. You'd be amazed at how many people break into this building on a regular basis.

Did they at least torture you? Please tell me they did.

Angel

Never gave them a chance. Jumped ship... off the coast of Maine. Went underground till the war was over.

Like any other coward.

Angel

Wars are won and lost by men.

You mean...like me? No, wait, that doesn't apply anymore, does it?

Angel

I never wanted to do this to you.

Oh, put your hanky away. I know how important the technology they pulled from the sub was to helping us stop the Germans. Sounded like a fair shake. One person damned to make the world safe for future generations. [looks over at Angel's gang] Except these guys.

Angel

Killing them's not going to change the past.

But it'll hurt you. Maybe that's enough.

Angel

Never is.

Then maybe I found my mission again after all these years.

Angel

Being an evil son of a bitch not keeping you busy?

We all need a reason to live, even if we're already dead. Mom, apple pie, the stars and stripes... That was good enough for me till I met you. Then I had this whole creature-of-the-night thing going for me--the joy of destruction and death--and I embraced it. I did all the terrible things a monster does--murdered women and children, tortured fathers and husbands just to hear 'em scream--and through it all... I felt nothing. 60 years of blood drying in my throat like ashes. So what do you think? Is it me, chief? Or does everyone you sired feel this way?

Angel

You're the only one I ever did this to...after I got a soul.

Do I have one, too?

Angel

I don't think it works that way, son.

Didn't think so.
