  [to Sebastian] 

  Angel : How come no husband ever shot you?

  Sebastian : You will never see the last of me, Angel.

  [shouting loud] 

  Angel : That will be arranged when you meet Klaus.

  Holly : Let me go. Sebastian.

  Angel : Never try to take anything from an elephant.

  Holly : Sebastian, do something!

  Sebastian : A lion I fight for you, a tiger! But the red-headed wildcat with an elephant, no.

  [then he chuckled, with a big grin] 

  Holly : You make this two-tailed jackass put me down.

  [Ruth, being guided by Angel, took Holly to Brad Braden, then let go of her, in front of Brad]

• Holly : [Very frustrated]  I send Angel for a doctor and she comes back with an *elephant*!

  Angel : [Filled with sarcasm]  You better let Birdie bandage up the pixie if you want to say good bye to our boyfriend!

  Holly : [Horrified]  Brad!

• Angel : Listen, sugar, the only way that you can keep me warm is to wrap me up in a marriage license.
