“Lineage” quotes from Angel

Eve

[About Wesley] Willing to risk anything... or anyone... for the greater good. Look, hey... I'm just asking. Could it be there's another reason you're getting so mad at him about this? Mmm... stealing your son, for instance?

Angel

We don't talk about my son.

Eve

You don't trust Wesley, do you? I mean, I can see that. He did turn Connor over to your sworn enemy.

Angel

He didn't mean for that to happen. He thought he was doing the right thing.

Eve

And I guess it all worked out. Connor's OK, you're happy. Maybe Wesley knew what he was doing after all. Even if he doesn't remember any of it.

Angel

That's got nothing to do with... I just want to be kept informed. That's all.

Eve

Is it? Or are you worried about the next time Wesley betrays you trying to do "the right thing"?

Listen to you. You're blaming yourself because poor Fred got hurt. Stop trying to be all valiant. You're coming off like a self-pitying child.

Wesley

[staring past Fred] Hello, father.

Oh, yeah, that's mature. Well, I wish I was your father. I'd tell you to grow up.

It doesn't work. I've tried.

Lorne

Wesley Wyndam-Price, you should be ashamed. I didn't know you had a younger brother.

Wesley

Lorne. Yes. This is my father, Roger Wyndam-Price.

How do you do?

Lorne

A father? Well, I don't believe it. Well, OK, I do believe it, but only 'cause I heard you were in the building. Ha ha ha. Well, look at you. It's like Winston Churchill and a young Richard Harris had a beautiful love child, which, according to my sources, may not be as ridiculous as it sounds.

[about the cyborg] This thing really blurs the line between human and robot.

Spike

Aha. So you're not ruling out that a human being could have boffed a robot.

Spike

Sex with robots is more common than most people think.

Spike

Daddy, eh? I always though Wesley was grown in some sort of greenhouse for dandies.

Spike.

Spike

You've heard of me?

No, we've met. 1963, my colleagues and I fell upon you slaughtering an orphanage in Vienna. Killed 2 of my men before you escaped.

Spike

Oh...how've you been?

Spike

Wait. What the hell am I worried about?

Eve

That's odd.

Spike

I know what this is. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME TO HELL, PAVAYNE!

Spike

Oh. Well, that's just something I say... when, uh... it gets dark.

Lorne

So I am covered in cherries. The police are just pounding on the door, and Judi Dench starts screaming, "Oh, that's way too much to pay for a pair of pants!"

Wesley

Hello, father.

Walk away from this, Wesley. You'll never understand what we're trying to do here.

Wesley

You're using the Staff of Devosynn to take Angel's will, make him your slave. Your cyborgs panic a bit too easily.

That creature's more dangerous to mankind than you realize.

Wesley

You're wrong about him. He's not what you think.

He's a puppet. He always has been. To the Powers That Be, to Wolfram & Hart. Now he's ours.

Wesley

You went to a lot of trouble to get this staff. [Flash to Wesley's father pulling a gun out of the cyborg's body in the lab.] You had us attacked, you smuggled in a weapon...you brought in an army so you could escape. I don't know why you're doing all this, but did you ever once consider there might be another way? Did you ever once consider talking to me about it?

No. You've failed me enough for one lifetime.

Wesley!

Wesley

Fred, get out of here!

What the hell is going on?

You know what that vampire is and what he's done, and you follow him anyway?

Wesley

Maybe I know what I'm doing. Why can't you trust that?

You disgrace yourself with the council, you join forces with him, and you have the nerve to ask me why I can't trust you?

Wesley

I've done everything you ever asked, and I've done it well.

I asked for this, hmm? I wanted to be humiliated?

Wesley

No, I suppose I don't know what you really wanted. You never had any use for me as a child, and you can't bear the thought of me as an adult. Tell me, father, what is it that galls you so? That I was never as good at the job as you... or that I just might be better?

Oh, yes, this is Los Angeles. We have to talk about our feelings. Then maybe we'll hug.

Wesley

It's doubtful.

Hand me that staff.

Wesley

No.

Now, don't make me shoot you.

Wesley

[Holding the staff over the edge of the roof.] Go ahead.

Do you know how powerful that thing is?

Wesley

I don't care.

I will kill you for it. Please believe me.

Wesley

Oh, I believe you. I was raised by you, after all. But I drop this, the crystal shatters, and Angel is restored. So I reckon whether I live or die, your plan has failed.

I see. Well, then... maybe if it's someone you care about...

Angel

You know, I killed my actual father. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire.

Wesley

I hardly see how that's the same situation.

Angel

Yeah, I really didn't think that one through.

Spike

Don't know if you know this, but, uh, I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to, uh...

Wesley

Thank you! I'm... very comforted. Right.

Spike

Oh, Eve's stuck in the elevator.

Gunn

So tell Maintenance. [runs off]

Spike

Right. Well where the bloody hell is Maintenan--? [beat] Oh to be honest, I don't even care. [walks away]

Wesley

Hello, Mom, it's me. No, everything's fine. I was hoping to speak with Father, actually. Yes, all right. Hello, father, how are... oh, I didn't realize it was so early there. I've had a bit of a... Of course we have clocks in Los Angeles. Listen, I wanted to... Nothing's wrong. I just... wanted to call... and...see how you were.
