This may come out a little pretentious, but... one of you will betray me.
[Spike raises his hand eagerly.]
Wes...
[disappointed] Oh... [enthusiastically] Can I deny you three times?
“Not Fade Away” · Season 5
In this episode: Puppet Angel (5), Spike (4), Lindsey McDonald (3), Lorne (2), Charles Gunn (1), Harmony Kendall (1), Illyria (1)
Then we're all agreed.
Yeah. We're all one big happy Manson family.
Believe it or not, I was actually talking about you. You don't care about being squashed like a bug?
You haven't heard a word I've said. For, like, years back.
Well, you get a little speechy, all right? And I breeze out. I got the Cliff Notes--honor and humanity. Absolute good. I heard it. So here's the plot twist--I'm in.
Why?
Everybody goes on about your soul. A vampire with a soul. Nobody ever mentions the fact that you're really a vampire with big brass testes. This is gonna be a circus. I mean, win or lose, you're about to pick the nastiest fight since mankind drop-kicked the last demon out of this dimension. And that you don't do without me. If you want me, I'm on your team.
I want you, Lindsey. [pause] Thinking about rephrasing that.
Yeah, think I'd be more comfortable if you did.
I could sing for you.
I've heard you sing. [takes out a gun with a silencer and shoots Lindsey twice in the chest]
Why... why did you...
One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be.
You killing me? A flunky?! I'm not just... Angel... kills me. You... Angel... [dies]
Good night, folks.
HHamilton
[To Angel] You're gutter trash, and that's where you should have stayed, drinking and whoring your way through an unremarkable life. But the fates stepped in and made you a vampire, with a soul, no less. A champion. A hero of the people. And yet, you still managed to fail everyone around you. Doyle. Cordelia. Fred. They're all gone. Now it's time you followed.
Hello, Junior. The name's Spike. [picks up the baby] And lucky for you, I'm on a strict diet.
[When Spike turns to leave with the baby, he's faced with three of the Fell Brethren standing in the doorway.]
FLFell Leader
Place the holy vessel back in the bassinet.
[Spike looks at the baby, who even seems to shake his head "no", then looks back at the Fell.]
[sighs] Right.
[Spike shrugs off the robe and fights off the brothers' attack while still holding the baby.]
HHamilton
Let me say this as clearly as I can. You cannot beat me. I am a part of them. The Wolf, Ram, and Hart. Their strength flows through my veins. My blood is filled with their ancient power.
Can you pick out the one word there you probably shouldn't have said? [he vamps out and bites Hamilton, draining his blood] Wow. You really are full of it!
HHamilton
You can never beat us. We are legion. We are forever!
[Angel snaps his neck]
Looks like forever just got a hell of a lot shorter.
Part of me always knew life would end after high school.
Those guys were chumps.
Now they're chunks. Demon strength or no, you're quite the master swordsman.
Well, I coudn't have done it without that high note in "MacArthur Park."
Slays them every time.
Any word on the rest of the team?
For all I know, we are the rest of the team. I haven't heard squat.
That's weird.
They'll call.
No, I mean, me saying "team." And meaning it. I kind of like the feeling.
Yeah, today.
You're really done with them?
It isn't my kind of work anymore. It's unsavory.
Yeah, I think it's just getting interesting.
Yeah, I bet you do.
You don't trust me. You don't think a man can change?
It's not about what I think. This was Angel's plan.
Come on. I could sing for you.
I've heard you sing. [takes out a gun with a silencer and shoots Lindsey twice in the chest]
Why... why did you...?
One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be.
You killing me? A flunky?! I'm not just... Angel... kills me. You... Angel... [dies]
Good night, folks.
[last lines]
Boo.
Anyone else?
Not so far. You feel the heat?
It's coming.
Finally got ourselves a decent brawl.
Damn! How'd I know the fang boys would pull through? You're lucky we're on the same side, dogs, because I was on fire tonight. My game was tight.
Supposed to wear that red stuff on the inside, Charlie-boy.
Any word on Wes?
Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.
Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.
Among other things.
[A horde of demons and monsters is bearing down on the surviving members of Angel's team.]
Okay. You take the 30,000 on the left.
You're fading. You'll last 10 minutes at best.
Then let's make 'em memorable.
And in terms of a plan?
We fight.
Bit more specific?
Well, personally, I kinda want to slay the dragon. Let's go to work.
