Cordelia and Angel in “You're Welcome”

So, you feel good?

Yeah, I do. I just... I kinda feel bad about it.

My God, you are a piece of work.

I just [laughs]...I just don't feel I deserve... I mean all I did was beat up a tiny Texan. [Angel sits down] Not like I helped anyone.

Sure you did.

Who?

Boy, I really do fall for dumb ones. You know how you're always trying to save, oh, every single person in the world? Did it ever occur to you: you are one of them?

No, it never did.

Well, you made the list, gorgeous. And you needed some help.

And you were the one that...helped me.

Did my part. [Cordelia sits next to Angel]

[chuckles] Lindsey wasted a lot of energy trying to make me doubt myself. I know it's not even close to over. I do feel like... I can do this. Wolfram and Hart, whatever's coming, I feel like we can beat it.

I know.

You do?

I always did. I... I just needed you to know it too.

So, all that stuff about the deals with the devil...

Is God's honest truth. But you're bigger than that. You'll win this in the end. [she gets up] I, uh, I just wish I could be there to see it. [sighs]

[he gets up] What do you mean? You're not...?

I can't stay. This isn't me anymore. You can say goodbye to the gang for me, explain everything, once you understand.

That's gonna be never. I... I need you here.

Don't make this hard, Angel. I'm just on a different road, and this is my off ramp. The Powers That Be owed me one and I didn't waste it. I got my guy back on track.

Cordy, there's just...

[she puts her hand on Angel's cheek] We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it. [tearing up] I'll be seeing you. [she turns and starts to walk away] Oh, what the hell... One for the road?

You know, um, [whispers] I don't... I don't need to get that.

That... you have to get.

Oh, and you're welcome.

Hello? Yes, I know, she's... But that's impossible, she's standing right... [Angel turns around to see Cordelia gone; he puts the phone back to his ear] I'm sorry. [chokes up] Yeah. Did, um, so when did she die? Did, she, um... She never did wake up? I see. [he hangs up the phone and speaks softly] Thank you.
