Quotes
-
Angel : [about his sister] She thought I returned to her - an angel.
-
Cordelia Chase : The installation guy said it should be something easy to remember, like... my birthday.
Angel : I don't know your birthday.
Cordelia Chase : Yeah, tell me something you don't know that I don't know.
-
Darla : This contest is ended, is it?
Angelus : Now I've won.
Darla : Are you sure?
Angelus : Of course. I proved who had the power here.
Darla : You think?
Angelus : [stands] What?
Darla : Your victory over him took but moments.
Angelus : [looks back at his dead father] Yes.
Darla : But his defeat of you will last lifetimes.
Angelus : What are you talking about? He can't defeat me now.
Darla : Nor can he ever approve of you, in this world or any other. What we once were informs all that we have become. The same love will infect our hearts, even if they no longer beat. Simple death won't change that.
Angelus : Love.
[looks around at his dead family]
Angelus : Is this the work of love?
Darla : Darling boy. So young, still so very young.

Angel's Father : Liam! You'll do as I say!
Liam : [to his sister] Sweet Kathy. No tears. We'll meet again.
Angel's Father : Defy me now, you won't! Not as long as I live!
Liam : You'll want to move away from the door now, father.
Angel's Father : Go through it, but don't ever expect to come back!
Liam : As you wish, father. Always, just as you wish.
Angel's Father : It's a son I wished for! A man! instead God gave me you! A terrible disappointment!
Liam : Disappointment? A more dutiful son you couldn't have asked for. My whole life you've told me in word, in glance, what it is you required of me, and I've lived down to your every expectations, now haven't I?
Angel's Father : That's madness!
Liam : No. The madness is that I couldn't fail enough for you. But we'll fix that now, won't we?
Angel's Father : I fear for you, lad.
Liam : And is that the only thing you can find in your heart for me now, father?
Angel's Father : Who'll take you in, huh? No one!
Liam : I'll not lack for a place to sleep, I can tell you that. Out of my way.
Angel's Father : [Liam walks for the door but his father grabs him] I was never in your way, boy.
[Liam opens the door and storms out]
Angel's Father : If you'll go courting trouble, you're sure to find it!
[Liam's father looks as if he is about to cry and slams the door. Cut to the barmaid at the tavern smiling as Liam picks her up. Cut to Darla scratching her chest to make it bleed. Cut to the barmaid. Cut to Darla in the alley. Cut to the Barmaid feeding Liam some grapes]
Darla : You know what to do. Darling boy.
[Cut to Liam following Darla into the alley]
Darla : I could show you things you've never seen.
[Darla vamps and bites Liam, his eyes pop open. His knees give out and Darla pushes his mouth on top of the bloody scratch on her chest]
-
Angelus : Strange. Somehow you seemed taller when I was alive.
Angel's Father : Lord, bind this demon now.
Angelus : To think I ever let such a tiny, trembling thing make me feel the way you did.
Angel's Father : [crosses himself] Deliver me under thy protection, Father.
Angelus : You told me I wasn't a man. You told me I was nothing. And I believed you. You said I'd never amount to anything. You were wrong.
[vamps]
Angelus : You see, Father. I have made something of myself after all.
-
Angel : Ever since she ran me through with a two-by-four, things have been different.
-
Angel : So, you're back.
Cordelia Chase : Very good, Mister I-can't-tail-the-suspect-during-the-day-because-I'll-burst-into-flames Private Eye.
-
Liam : Anna, come closer.
Chamber Maid : Master Liam, your father...
Liam : He'll be off to church by now, repenting of his sins. And well he should. Closer, Anna!
Chamber Maid : Why do ye keep to the shadows, sir? Are ye not well?
Liam : The light... it bothers my eyes just now.
Angel's Father : And I know the reason why!
[kicks Liam out into the sunlight]
Angel's Father : Up again all night, is it? Drinking and whoring! I can smell the stink of it on you!
Liam : And a 'good morning' to you, Father.
Angel's Father : You're a disgrace.
Liam : If you say so, Father.
Angel's Father : Oh, I do. I do say so. Have you not had enough debauchery for one night? Must you corrupt the servants as well?
Liam : 'Servant,' Father. We have one servant. Anyway, everyone gets corrupted. But I find some forms of corruption are more pleasant...
[rocks back as hard open-handed slap catches him full force]
Angel's Father : I'm ashamed to call you my son. A lay-about and a scoundrel. You'll never amount to anything more than that!
