TV show quotes
(walks into the room) Well, I tried. (holds up a shirt) What do you think?
It looks brand new.
(cries) It is. I--I bought a new one.
Even better.
(crying) I know.
What's the matter? She'll love it.
I know, but she's not here.
She's just upstairs.
Yes, but, when she's not around, (sobs) I hurt.
So, you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values, and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to little more than a mindless meat puppet?
Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid. I mean, don't get me wrong. I still got the implants in my head. C.I.A. is still listening in. It just doesn't bother me anymore. Instead, I--I beam Jasmine's love up to their satellite, you know? Share the love with those MK-Ultra bastards.
You want to fight fire with fire. Make sure the government and the other savages learn about Jasmine's love.
Exact-- (plays along) that's exactly right. Why should we be the only shiny, happy people?
We don't need to use the evil tools of (with air quotes) the man when we have (with air quotes) the wo-man. We need to trust that Jasmine's love will reach the rest of the world just like it reached us
Oh, happy day.
She's right. There's work to do here. We have a hotel full of people, people who have needs.
You know what they say about people who need people...
They're the luckiest people in the world.
You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, kiddo?
Just kinda popped out.
I have 37 cats, and I've just changed all their names to Jasmine!
Tonight the Role of Judas Iscariot will be played by Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan.
And in an impromptu speech today, the mayor--I really love that guy, don't you?-- The mayor declared Los Angeles the first Citadel of Jasmine, a cradle of civilization which will usher in a new age for all of humanity. In related news, the L.A. Archdiocese has stated to the press that it will remove all false idols from its churches, replacing them with images of she who walks among us. Way to go, Catholic Church. Yes, it's a great day to be alive.
Well, talk about media bias. Well, not that I wanna talk about media bias. It seems rather moot right now. Speakin' of moot, what about us? Anyone else feel like the last feisty wife in Stepford?
So that's our big plan? Just keep running?
Oh, I hear some good things about Belize!
All right, f-fine. You loved her first.
Before your kind was, my kind loved her. Stood stone on stone, built the temple. Always making ready. Ohh... But she came here.
She? Jasmine?
Eh?
Jasmine. That's what we call her. The... superior being that--that you loved first.
Pfah! You name her. Filthy little mice! She is the devourer... the song... the peace... the whole... and you try to name her. Work to do. [walks away, then snaps his head back to Wesley] We loved her first!
[Wesley watches the demon go back to work. It crawls up the wall and grabs a torch. Wesley stares at the bloody guts that splatted in front of him.]
And how does your kind define love?
Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.
Just drop the cliche serial killer crap and stake me already! Please!
I tear your guts all inside out. I stitch your guts every all over. Why don't you go dead?
Why don't you go f-- [the demon attacks him] Aah! Aah!
It was a trial run, an early experiment to work out the bugs, so to speak. I won't make that mistake again. I know where Angel is, and I know what he's looking for. He's wasting his time.
If you really believed that, you'd have killed us already.
Too much trouble conquering a primitive dimension, wasn't it, Jasmine? Or whatever your name is. Must be nice for you that we have satellites to beam your message to the rest of the world.
You're not wrong.
Connor, what does Jasmine eat?
What?
The creature in the sewer. It called her the devourer. Devourer of what?
I don't know.
Don't You? The followers she randomly chooses to come to her room. The ones she sent to meet her in the banquet hall.
They're the banquet.
Wait. People? She eats people?
Oh, no.
To Serve Man. It's To Serve Man all over again.
And now she's going global.
What is it you think you fight for, dead thing? Valor? What you call justice? Your friends are dead. Most likely. Or so you believe. So it's not for them you fight.
I'm trying to save my world!
Your world. A world that doesn't care for you. Doesn't want you.
It needs me!
So your Powers That Be tell you. Maybe they're right. But it's not why you're here.
Okay, Bugsy, you wanna tell me what I'm fighting for?
Him.
Him?
The boy. The woman you've already lost. The boy is what you're fighting for. But you're going to fail. You're going to lose him too.
Jasmine, it's over. You've lost.
I've lost? Do you have any idea what you've done?
What I had to do.
No. No, Angel. There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices. I offered paradise. You chose this!
Because I could. Because that's what you took away from us. Choice.
And look what free will has gotten you.
Hey, I didn't say we were smart. I said it's our right. It's what makes us human.
But you're not human.
Working on it.
[Jasmine turns to walk away]
Where you going?
Leave me alone.
Sorry, but... can't do that.
What? You've taken everything. You're gonna try to kill me now, as if you could.
Maybe not. But I'll die before I let you hurt anyone else.
You're already dead!
You know what I mean. It ends right here.
Why do you hate me so much?
Let's run down the list, huh? Rain of fire, blotting out the sun, enslaving mankind, and, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, you eat people!
Like you never have?
Thousands of people are dead because of what you've done.
And how many will die because of you? I could've stopped it, Angel. All of it. War, disease, poverty. How many precious, beautiful lives would've been saved in a handful of years? Yes, I murdered thousands to save billions. This world is doomed to drown in its own blood now.
The price was too high, Jasmine. Our fate has to be our own, or we're nothing.
Like me?
Look, we've all done horrible things. All we can do is try and make up for it. So, OK, you know, it's not the world that you wanted, but maybe you can still help us make it better, even if you have lost your powers.
Not all of them.
[Jasmine punches Angel so hard that it sends him flying over the edge of the bridge. He lands on a car hood. Jasmine, still on the bridge, picks up a station wagon.]
