Angelus quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping...waiting...and though unwanted...unbidden...it will stir...open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us...guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. the joy of love...the clarity of hatred...and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd truly be dead.

Spike

Hurts, doesn't it?

Well, you know, it kinda itches a little.

Spike

Don't just stand there. Burn him.

Gee, maybe he's broken.

Spike

What the hell is going on?

This one ... cannot be burnt. He is clean.

Spike

Clean? You mean, he's ...

There's no humanity in him.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Drusilla

Angelus.

Yeah, baby. I'm back.

Spike

No more of this 'I've got a soul' crap?

What can I say, hmm? I was going through a phase.

Spike

You've really got a yen to hurt this girl, haven't you?

She made me feel like a human being. That's not the kind of thing you just forgive.

[about last night, when they had sex] What? I took off.

Buffy

But you didn't say anything. You just left.

Yeah. Like I really wanted to stick around after that.

Buffy

What?

You got a lot to learn about men, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night.

Buffy

What are you saying?

Let's not make an issue out of it, okay? In fact, let's not talk about it at all. It happened.

Buffy

I, I don't understand. Was it m-me? Was I not good?

You were great. Really. I thought you were a pro.

Spike

Now, I know you haven't been in the game for a while, mate, but we still do kill people. Sort of our raison d'être, you know.

Spike, my boy, you really don't get it, do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn't. Look at you. You're a wreck! She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl ... you have to love her.

Dear Buffy. I'm still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.

Spike

Why don't you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression.

Lacks... poetry.

Spike

It doesn't have to. What rhymes with lungs?

Drusilla

Don't worry, Spike. Angel always knows...what speaks to a girl's heart.

Spike

Are you insane? We're supposed to kill the bitch, not leave gag gifts in her friends' beds.

Drusilla

But, Spike, the bad teacher was going to restore Angel's soul.

Spike

What if she did? If you ask me, I find myself preferring the old Buffy-whipped Angelus. This new, improved one is not playing with a full sack. I love a good slaughter as much as the next bloke, but his little pranks will only leave us with one incredibly brassed-off Slayer!

Don't worry, Roller Boy. I've got everything under control. [ Molotov Cocktail lights the room on fire]

Spike

[as Angel viciously scrubs his face] You might want to let up. They say when you've drawn blood, you've exfoliated.

What do you know about it? I'm the one who was friggin' violated. You didn't have this thing in you.

Drusilla

What was it? A demon?

[still washing his face] Love!

Drusilla

Poor Angel.

Drusilla

Me mum says I'm cursed. My seeing things is an affront to the Lord. That only He's supposed to see anything before it happens. But I don't mean to, Father, I swear. I swear. I try to be pure in His sight. I don't want to be an evil thing.

Oh, hush, child. The Lord has a plan for all creatures. Even a devil child like you.

Drusilla

[mortified] A devil...

Yes, you're a spawn of Satan, all the Hail Mary's in the world aren't going to help. The Lord will use you and smite you down. He's like that.

Drusilla

What can I do?

Fulfill His plan, child. Be evil. Just give in.

Drusilla

No! I want to be good. I want to be pure.

We all do, at first. World doesn't work that way.

Drusilla

Father, I beg you. Please... please, help me.

Very well. Ten 'Our Fathers' and an act of contrition. Does that sound good?

Drusilla

Yes. Yes, Father, thank you.

The pleasure was mine. Oh, and my child?

Drusilla

Yes?

God is watching you.

Spike

It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends, they all don't have a rock this big.

Spike, boy you never did learn your history.

Spike

Let's have a lesson then.

Acathla, the demon, came forth to swallow the world. He was killed by a virtuous knight who pierced the demon's heart before he could draw a breath to perform the act. Acathla turned to stone, as demons sometimes do, and was buried where neither man nor :demon would want to look. Unless of course they're puttin' up low-rent housing. [to other vampires] Boys.

Drusilla

He fills my head. I can't hear anything else.

Spike

Let me guess, someone pulls out the sword...

Someone worthy.

Spike

...The demon wakes up and wackiness ensues.

Drusilla

He will swallow the world.

And every creature living on this planet will go to hell. My friends, we're about to make history... end.

No weapons, no friends, no hope. Take all that away, and what's left?

Buffy

Me.
