First Evil quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I have to admit I'm glad it worked out this way, I was going to bleed Andrew but you look a lot better with your shirt off... To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of subtle... I think it's about time we brought some authority to our presence... Now Spike, you wanna see what a real vampire looks like?

Angel

I was a man once.

And what a man you were. A drunken, whoring layabout and a terrible disappointment to your parents.

Angel

I was young. I never had a chance to..

...To die of syphilis? You were a worthless being before you were ever a monster.

I'm not a demon, little girl, I am something you cannot even conceive. The First Evil. Beyond sin. Beyond death. I am the thing the darkness fears. You'll never see me, but I am everywhere. Every being. Every thought. Every drop of hate.

Buffy

All right, I get it. You're evil. Do we have to chat about it all day?

Angel will be dead by sunrise. Your Christmas will be his wake.

Buffy

No.

You have no idea what you're dealing with.

Buffy

Let me guess. Is it... evil?

[transforms into a fearsome demonic form, then vanishes] DEAD BY SUNRISE!

[as Travis, a man that Angelus killed along with his sons] The thing I remember most was thinking how artful it was. In the dark, they looked just like they were sleeping. It wasn't until I bent down and kissed them good night that I felt how cold they were. You grabbed me, and I thought: who would go to so much trouble to arrange them like that? [turns into Margaret, a servant girl] But you see, that's what makes you different than other beasts. They kill to feed, but you took more kinds of pleasure in it than any creature that walks or crawls.

Angel

Oh, God...!

[mimicking him when he killed Margaret] Yeah, cry out. Make a scene.

I was to be married that week. But then, as I recall, you knew that.

Angel

It wasn't me!

[turns into Jenny Calendar] It wasn't you?

Angel

A demon isn't a man. I was a man once--

Oh, yes. And what a man you were. [turns into Margaret] A drunken, whoring layabout, and a terrible disappointment to your parents.

Angel

I was young. I never had a chance to--

To die of syphilis? You were a worthless being before you were ever a monster.

[after trying to trick Willow into believing Tara wants her to kill herself] I can see it now. Candlelight, the Indigo Girls playing, picture of your dead girlfriend on your bloody lap... [mocking] Oh, baby, you left such a big hole. It hurt so bad! [serious] You don't know hurt. This last year's gonna seem like cake after what I put you and your friends through, and I am not a fan of easy death. Fact is, the whole good versus evil, balancing the scales thing? I'm over it. I'm done with the mortal coil. But believe me, I'm going for a big finish.

Willow

"From beneath you, it devours."

Oh, not "it"... ME.

Andrew

Yes, it was in Buffy's underwear drawer. She has nice things.

Show me.

Andrew

Well, I didn't take 'em, but there were thongs and regular underpants-

I envy them. Isn't that the strangest thing?

Caleb

Well, it does throw me just a tad. I mean, they're barely more than animals. Feedin' off each other's flesh, it's nauseatin'. But you, you're everywhere. You're in the hearts of little children. You're in the souls of the rich. You're the fire that makes people kill and hate. The fire that will cure the world of weakness. They're just sinners. You are sin.

I do enjoy your sermons.

Caleb

And you're in me. Gave me strength no man can have.

You're the only man strong enough to BE my vessel and I know you feel me, but... I know why they grab at each other. To feel. I want to feel. I want to wrap my hands around some innocent neck and feel it crack.

Caleb

Amen.
