Angel quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Angel

I'm sorry. I couldn't come sooner.

Angel

The elders conjured the most perfect punishment for me. They restored my soul.

Buffy

What, they were all out of boils and blinding torment?

Angel

When you become a vampire, the demon takes your body, but it doesn't get your soul; that's gone. No conscience, no remorse, it's an easy way to live. You have no idea what it's like to have done the things I've done...and care. I haven't fed on a human being since that day.

Buffy

I invited you into my home and then you attacked my family.

Angel

Why not? I killed mine. I killed their friends... and their friends' children... For hundreds of years I offered ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart.

Xander

Ah, the post-fumigation party.

Buffy

Okay, so what's the difference between this and the pre-fumigation party?

Xander

Much hardier cockroaches.

Willow

So, no word from Angel?

Buffy

Nah. It's weird, though. In his way, I feel like he's still watching me.

Willow

Well, in a way he sort of is. In the way of that he's right over there.

Xander

I don't need to watch, because I'm not threatened. I'm just going to look this way.

Angel

I just wanted to see if you were okay... your mother.

Buffy

We're both good. You?

Angel

[chuckles] If I can go a little while without getting shot or stabbed, I'll be alright. Look, this can't...

Buffy

Ever be anything. I know. For one thing, you're, like, 224 years older than I am.

Angel

I just gotta... I gotta walk away from this.

Buffy

I know. Me, too. One of us has to go here.

Angel

I know.

Xander

What's going on?

Willow

Nothing.

Xander

Well, as long as they're not kissing. [chuckles]

Buffy

You okay?

Angel

It's just...

Buffy

Painful. I know. See you around?

Giles

Buffy told me you don't feed from humans anymore.

Angel

Not for a long while.

Giles

Is that why you're here? To see her?

Angel

I can't. It's, uh... It's too hard for me to be around her.

Giles

A vampire in love with a Slayer. It's rather poetic... in a maudlin sort of way.

Angel

[about the prophecy] Well, there's gotta be some way around it.

Giles

Listen, some prophecies are-are a bit dodgy. They're-they're mutable. Buffy herself has-has thwarted them time and time again, but this is the Codex. There is nothing in it that does not come to pass.

Angel

Then you're reading it wrong.

Giles

I wish to God I were. But it's very plain. Tomorrow night Buffy will face the Master, and she will die.

Buffy

(about the prophecy in which she will die) So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One slayer dies, the next one's called. I wonder who she is. Will you train her? Or will they send someone else?

Giles

Buffy... I...

Buffy

[wimpering] Does it say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt? [as Angel steps close to her] Don't touch me! Were you even gonna tell me?

Giles

I was hoping I wouldn't have to, that there was some way around it. I...

Buffy

I've got a way around it. I quit.

Angel

It's not that simple.

Buffy

I'm making it that simple. I quit. I resign, I-I'm fired, you can find someone else to stop The Master from taking over.

Giles

I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the... the signs indicate...

Buffy

[enraged, throwing books at Giles] The signs?! Read me the signs! Tell me my fortune! You're so useful sitting here with all of your books! You're really a lot of help!

Giles

I don't suppose I am

Angel

I know this is hard.

Buffy

What do you know about this? You're never gonna die

Angel

You think I want anything to happen to you? You think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way...

Buffy

I already did. I quit, remember. Pay attention!

Giles

Buffy, if the Master rises...

Buffy

I don't care! I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die.

Giles

The vampires?

Cordelia

Gone.

Angel

The Master?

Giles

Dead. The Hellmouth is closed. Buffy? Buffy?

Buffy

Um, sorry. It's just... been a really weird day.

Xander

Yeah. Buffy died and everything.

Willow

Wow. Harsh.

Giles

I should've known that wouldn't stop you.

Jenny

Well, what do we do now?

Giles

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd like to get out of this place. I don't like the library very much anymore.

Xander

Hey, I hear there's a dance at the Bronze tonight. Could be fun.

Cordelia

Yeah.

Willow

Buffy?

Buffy

Sure. We saved the world. I say we party. I mean, I got all pretty.

Jenny

What about him?

Buffy

He's not going anywhere. Loser.

Giles

I'm not dancing, though.

Jenny

We'll see. You can come with us, though.

Xander

So, what's the story with the car?

Cordelia

Oh, that was me.

Buffy

I'm really, really hungry.

Willow

[laughing]

Angel

By the way, I really like your dress.

Buffy

Yeah, yeah. It's a big hit with everyone.

Angel

We need to distract the vampires.

Buffy

Right.

Angel

What are you gonna do?

Buffy

I'm gonna kill them all. That oughta distract 'em.

Buffy

Are you jealous?

Angel

(laughs a bit) Of Xander? Please. He's just a kid.

Buffy

Is it 'cause I danced with him?

Angel

Danced with is a pretty loose term. Mated with might be a little closer.

Buffy

Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way. Behold my success.

Angel

I am not jealous.

Buffy

You're not jealous? What, vampires don't get jealous?

Angel

See? Whenever we fight you always bring up the vampire thing.

Buffy

Come on, Stephan. Rise and shine. Some of us have a ton of trig homework waiting.

Angel

Hey.

Buffy

[gasps]

Angel

Is this a bad time?

Buffy

Are you crazy? You don't just sneak up on people in a graveyard. You make noise when you walk. You stomp or yodel.

Angel

I heard you were on the hunt.

Buffy

I'm supposed to be, but, lazybones here doesn't want to come out and play.

Angel

When you first wake up, it's a little disorienting. He'll show.

Buffy

It's weird to think of you going through that.

Angel

It's weird to go through. So, uh, you're here alone?

Buffy

Yeah. Why?

Angel

I just though you'd have somebody with you. Xander or someone.

Buffy

Xander.

Angel

Or someone.

Buffy

No. Why? Are you jealous?

Angel

[chuckles] Of Xander? Please. He's just a kid.

Buffy

Is it 'cause I danced with him?

Angel

"Danced with" is a pretty loose term. "Made it with" might be a little closer.

Buffy

Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy, by the way, behold my success.

Angel

I am not jealous.

Buffy

You're not jealous. What, vampires don't get jealous?

Angel

See? Whenever we fight, you always bring up the vampire thing.

Buffy

Well, I didn't come here to fight. [grunts] Oh, right. I did.

Buffy

Where's my stake? I know I had a stake.

Angel

I didn't see your stake. [grunting]

Buffy

What do you mean, "He's just a kid"? Does that mean I'm just a kid, too?

Angel

Look, obviously I made a mistake coming here tonight.

Buffy

Oh, no, you don't. You can't just turn and walk away from me like that. It takes more than that to get rid of me. [grunts] Oh. Ow.

Angel

You okay?

Buffy

I'm fine. Gee, I wish people wouldn't leave open graves laying around like this.

Angel

So...

Buffy

Oh.

Angel

Another vampire has risen tonight.

Buffy

I don't think so. Look at those tracks. Whoever was buried here didn't rise from this grave. She was dragged from it.

Buffy

God, the whole thing was so creepy. At the same time, I mean, he did do it all for his brother.

Angel

Sounds like he took it a little over the edge.

Buffy

Love makes you do the wacky.

Angel

What?

Buffy

Crazy stuff.

Angel

Oh. Crazy, like a 241-year-old being jealous of a high school junior?

Buffy

Are you 'fessing up?

Angel

I thought about it. Maybe it bothers me a little.

Buffy

I don't love Xander.

Angel

Yeah, but he's in your life. He gets to be there when I can't. Take your classes, eat your meals. Hear your jokes and complaints. He gets to see you in the sunlight.

Buffy

I don't look that good in direct light.

Angel

It'll be morning soon.

Buffy

I should probably go. I could walk you home.

Buffy

We were at the Bronze before. Thought you said you might show.

Angel

You said you weren't sure if you were going.

Buffy

I was being cool. C'mon, you've been dating for, what, like, two hundred years? You don't know what a girl means when she says maybe she'll show?

Willow

Wow. Two centuries of dating. If you only had two a year, that's still like 400 dates with 400 different... [Awkward beat.] Why do they call it a mace?

Angel

I taught you to always guard your perimeter. [tuts.] You should have someone out there.

Spike

I did. I'm surrounded by idiots. What's new with you?

Angel

Everything.

Spike

Yeah. Come up against this slayer yet?

Angel

She's cute. Not too bright, though. Gave her the puppy dog "I'm all tortured" act. Keeps her off my back when I feed.

Spike

People still fall for that Anne Rice routine? What a world!

Xander

[to Angel] I knew you were lying. Undead liar guy.

Spike

You think you can fool me?! You were my sire, man! You were my... Yoda!

Angel

Things change.

Spike

Not us! Not demons! Man, I can't believe this. You Uncle Tom! Come on people! This isn't a spectator sport!
