“Bachelor Party” · Season 1
In this episode: Cordelia Chase (3), Allen Francis Doyle (3), Puppet Angel (2)
[Doyle just barely manages to slay the vampire menacing Cordelia.]
Are you okay?
I'm fine. That was... you were so... brave!
You think you could say that again without so much shock in your voice? You're stepping on my moment of manliness here.
I'm sorry. I'm... just...
Surprised?
...Grateful.
So, here I am at Le Petit Renard with Mr. Armani, who could keep me in blue boxes for the rest of my life.
Blue boxes.
Tiffany's! God! And the whole night I was bored silly. All I could think about was, if this wimp saw a monster, he'd probably throw a shoe at it and run like a weasel. Turns out, the shoe part was giving him too much credit.
There aren't very many people who wouldn't run. It's just human nature.
Yeah. ... But all of a sudden "rich and handsome" isn't good enough for me. Now I expect a guy to be all brave and interesting. And it's your fault. Both of you.
Well, maybe not. Maybe you're changing. That could be a good thing.
Or disastrous. As if I wasn't confused enough, then Doyle comes along and rescues me like some... badly dressed superhero. [Angel supresses smile] He was really beat up. But you know the first thing he asked? 'Are you okay.' [Angel smiles] I mean, that's, like, substance. Right?
Well, there's definitely more to Doyle than meets the eye.
So I've gotta kill myself. [Angel stops smiling] I swore, when I went down this road with Xander Harris, I'd rather be dead than date a fixer-upper again.... Still, maybe you're right. Maybe Doyle does have hidden depths. I mean, really, really hidden. But depths! And I kinda have to buy him a mochaccino for saving my life, don't you think?
Well, I...
Me,too. We'll be back in a half, you watch the phones, okay?
I am only going to ask you this once, Richard. And I expect a straight answer. Were you, or were you not, intending to eat my ex-husband's brains?
In a way.
And when were you planning on telling me?
I thought maybe I wouldn't have to.
You were going to start our life out together with deceit?
[to Angel] Sorta missing the point, isn't she?
Oh, please, Uncle John. When was the last time you pried yourself away from ESPN long enough to spill the blood of a she-goat?
[A deeply depressed Doyle sits alone in the outer office.]
Well, someone has to go out there and cheer him up. [Angel reluctantly stands] Oh, please. Someone with a heartbeat? [walks over to sofa] Hi, Doyle! Are you gonna become loser pining guy, like, full time now? 'Cause, you know, we already have one of those around the office.
Hey!
Hey!
He can get away with it. He's tall, and... and look at the way clothes hang on him! But you...
Okay, I think you've cheered us up enough.
You can't live in the past. You gotta move on. Let it go. Forget it. Tomorrow is another day. Did I mention letting it go?
Twice.
[sits beside Doyle] You're gonna get through this, Doyle. Nice guys don't always finish last.
...You think I'm a nice guy?
I think it, I say it. It's my way.
