Quotes 

• Fred : [talking obliquely about Buffy]  So, now that she's alive again, are they gonna get back together? Angel and that girl with the goofy name?

  Wesley : Well, *Fred*, that's a difficult question. I think it's fair to say... , no. Not a chance, never, no way, not in a million years, and also... nuh-uh.

  Fred : But you said he loved her. And of course she's gonna love him back, 'cause he's so strong and handsome and he really listens when you talk. I-I mean, if you go for that sorta thing, why wouldn't it work?

  Cordelia : Let me break it down for you, Fred.

  [imitating Buffy] 

  Cordelia : Oh, Angel! I know that I am a Slayer, and you're a vampire and it would be impossible for us to be together, but...

  Wesley : [imitating Angel]  But... my gypsy curse, sometimes prevent me from seeing the truth. Oh, Buffy...

  Cordelia : Yes, Angel?

  Wesley : Oh, I love you so much I almost forgot to brood!

  Cordelia : And just because I sent you to Hell that one time doesn't mean that we can't just be friends.

  Wesley : Or possibly more?

  Cordelia : Gasp! No! We mustn't!

  Wesley : Kiss me!

  Cordelia : Bite me!

  Angel : [entering, surprising everyone]  How about you both bite me?

  Fred : You're back!

  Charles Gunn : How'd it go?

  Angel : I think those two pretty much summed it up. To be honest I really don't want to talk about it.

• Cordelia : [on Fred's invention]  God, I really wish she wouldn't leave her toys laying around.

  Charles Gunn : Ooh, pretty wicked-lookin' toy.

  Wesley : I'll say. It almost looks like a spring-loaded decapitation device.

  Cordelia : Or it makes toast. With her, you never know.

• Cordelia : Voilá! That's French for "I think we stopped the bleeding".

  Fred : Thanks, Cordelia.

  Cordelia : Next up, Multiple stab wounds. Angel!

  Angel : Uhh! That's my turn! Oh, yay!

  Cordelia : What a dork.

• Cordelia : Guys, when was the last time Fred ever left the hotel by herself?

  Charles Gunn : A couple weeks after never.

• Cordelia : Pfft! Sneaking off, right.

  [talking about Angel] 

  Cordelia : Fred can barely tie her shoes without Mr. Oh-You're-My-Big-Fat-Hero! around.

  Angel : You think I'm fat?

• [first lines] 

  Wesley : You wouldn't dare. You were just gonna toss in a Prothgarian broadsword with a third century ceremonial Sancteus dagger?

  Cordelia : Hmm... Let's see... Long, metal, pointy. Yep.

• Cordelia : But, Angel, we're your friends. And, and it's not healthy to repress stuff like this. You need to share your pain, express those feelings of grief and longing or... the curiosity is gonna kill me!

  Angel : Oh,no. Wouldn't want that.

  Fred : Personally, I don't care at all what happened.

  Cordelia : Shut up, Fred.

• Cordelia : In a really weird way, you know who I miss?

  Wesley : Fred.

  Cordelia : Actually, I was gonna say her parents. Is that wrong?

  Angel : I don't think so. They were very - nice.

  Cordelia : Nice? They weren't just nice, Angel. They were...

  Charles Gunn : Parents.

  Wesley : They loved her, supported her, didn't grind her down into a - tiny self-conscious nub with their constant berating, their never ending tirade of debasement, and scorn and...

  Cordelia : At least now, Fred's got a shot at a normal life. Not that I don't love you guys, and L.A., and my work... but, things are just never normal around here, you know?

• Angel : [talking about Fred]  I'm gonna miss her. She was just this nice, quiet, kind of crazy. I found that soothing.

  Cordelia : And what, I'm not soothing? I can be soothing. I could soothe your ass off, pal.

• Cordelia : Now we'll never, ever know.

  Angel : [almost out the door]  That's right.

• Lorne : Well, isn't this a lovely surprise.

  Cordelia : He's surprised. I didn't think he owned terry cloth.

  Lorne : Hmm. Such a small entourage tonight. Hey, Gunn, why didn't you bring your other friends? 'Cause they make a party.

  Charles Gunn : Maybe I should wait outside.

  Lorne : You know, I'm not entirely uncomfortable with that suggestion.

  Trish Burkle : What kind of a place is this?

  Lorne : I was kind of going for a Dresden-after-the-bombing sorta feel.

• Roger Burkle : [after a monster appears]  Tell me that's something from the movies?

  Cordelia : No, that's something that's gonna kill us.

• [last lines] 

  Cordelia : Did somebody order pizza? Hey, Fred, pizza?

  Fred : In a minute. I just want to finish this section.

• Cordelia : [whispers to Fred]  Between you and me, I'm almost a little jealous.
