[to Angel, in the middle of talking about something else]
And wow, you look half dead. Which, for someone who's completely dead, would be kind of neat.
“Somnambulist” · Season 1
In this episode: Puppet Angel (5), Cordelia Chase (4), Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (3), Kate Lockley (2)
You've got to make it tight.
Aghh, like I need instructions from you. My glamorous L.A. life--I get to make the coffee and chain the boss to the bed! I gotta join a union.
Cordelia, I, I think that's tight enough.
And if it turns out that we're back on the liquid lunch? Better safe than cocktails.
[Wesley has just shown Cordelia a news clipping about a murdered girl.]
I think you'd better sit down. While executing my duties as Watcher in Sunnydale, I did extensive research, specifically on Angel, given his uncomfortable proximity to the Slayer.
He looked pretty comfortable to me.
When I saw this story today, it rang chillingly familiar. So, I reacquainted myself with certain facts, confirming, I'm sorry to say, my grim suspicions. In the late 1700s, it was Angelus' custom to sign his victims by carving a Christian cross into their left cheek. He liked to let people know he'd been there.
Okay. You get to leave now. You're not going to come in here and accuse Angel like this.
Cordelia...
No! I don't care how many files you have about all the horrible things he did back in the powdered-wig days! He is good now. And he is my friend, and nothing you or anyone else can say will make me turn on a friend!
Cordelia, he's right.
[to Wes] You stake him and I'll cut his head off.
I have no memory of doing any of these things.
ah, not exactly the confidence-inspiring denial I was looking for.
I've been having dreams.
Dreams?
Killing dreams. Always the same, I - I stalk them, toy with them, mark them while they're still alive. And before they can die from the fear I feed on them.
Okay, so you've been having nightmares. It doesn't mean you-
They're not nightmares. I've enjoyed them.
Oh...
You're telling me children's stories.
I'm telling you the truth.
No. I don't believe you.
I know you don't. Even after what you saw, you won't let yourself. Which is why you'll lose.
I've heard enough.
No, you haven't heard a word. [Angel grips Kate's cross pendant in his fist, letting her hear the sizzle and smell the smoke.] And you won't. Not now, not yet. Because there are some things in this world you're just not ready to face.
Hi. Can I come in?
Oh, that's right. You have to be invited in, don't you?
[pause] You've been doing your homework.
Want to quiz me? I'm just full of fun facts. For instance, I learned that your friend has been in L.A. before, did you know that? Yeah, at least twice. Once in 1929 and again in 1963. Oh, and there was something in Boston in 1908, I think he was there, too.
So you believe me.
Yes, I believe you...
Good, because he's planning something el...
...Angelus. Isn't that what he called you? Angelus? I looked it up, it's all right there. The demon with the face of an angel. A particularly brutal bastard, by all accounts. Oh, and no, you can't come in.
I can't make up for the past, Kate, I know that...
No, you can't. In fact, all of this? What's happening now? Is because of you. You made him, didn't you?
Then let me help end it. Please.
'Please.' Now there's a word I imagine you heard quite a lot in your time. 'Please.' 'No.' 'Don't.' Thanks for the offer, but I don't need your help. I know what to do. Drive a stake right through the son of a bitch's heart. And when that happens, I suggest you don't be there, because the next time we meet, I'll do the same to you.
