(On Angel's home) Well I like the place. Not much with the view, but it has a certain Batcave air to it.

In this episode: Puppet Angel (3), Allen Francis Doyle (3), Cordelia Chase (2)
Let me tell you a little bedtime story.
But I'm not sleepy.
Once upon a time, there was a vampire. And he was the meanest vampire in all the land. I mean, other vampires were afraid of him he was such a bastard. Then, one day, he's cursed, by gypsies. They restore his human soul and suddenly he's mad with guilt. You know "What have I done..." You know, he's freaked.
Okay. Now I'm sleepy.
Yeah well, it's a fairly dull tale. It needs a bit of sex, is my feeling. So sure enough, enters a girl. Pretty little blonde thing. Vampire slayer by trade. And our vampire falls madly in love with her. But eventually the two of them, well, they get fleshy with one another. And the moment he- well, I guess the technical term is "Perfect Happiness". But when our boy gets there, he goes bad he kills again. It's ugly. So when he gets his soul back for the second time, he figures hey he can't be anywhere near young Miss Puppy-Eyes without endangering them both. So what does he do? He takes off, goes to L.A, to fight evil and atone for his crimes. He's a shadow, a faceless champion of the hapless human race. Say, you wouldn't have a beer of any kind here, would you?
It's about showing people there's still love and hope in the world.

Spare change?
Get a job, you lazy sow.
[Angel bumps into Sunnydale acquaintance Cordelia at a Hollywood party.]
So, um, are you still... 'Grrr'?
Yeah. There's not actually a cure for that.
[An offer of help from a wealthy admirer has moved Cordelia to tears.]
Oh, God, I'm sorry! I'm getting all weepy in front of you. I probably look really scary. I finally get invited to a nice place... with no mirrors, and... lots of curtains... Hey! You're a vampire!
RWRussell Winters
What? No, I'm not.
Are too!
RRussell
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm from Sunnydale -- we had our own Hellmouth! I think I know a vampire when I... am... alone with him... in his fortress-like home. And, you know? I think I'm just feeling a little light-headed from hunger. I'm just wacky! And kidding!! Ha, ha!...
RRussell
Truth is, I'm glad you know. It means we can skip the formalities.
RRussell
We do things a certain way in LA. I keep my name out of the paper and I don't make waves. And in return I can do anything I want.
[Angel puts his foot on Russell's chair and whispers]
Can you fly? (proceeds to kick Russell out the window. Russell becomes dust. Angel turns and walks away, slipping Lindsey's business card in Lindsey's pocket) Guess not.
