- Lorne the Host: How you holding up?
- Angel: I wanna go, bad. I'm just waitin' for Wes to have that "Eureka" moment.
- Wesley: [runs in shouting] Eureka!
- Angel: Oh, jeez. Thank God.
- Lorne the Host: [surprised] You mean he actually really says "Eureka"?
- Lorne the Host: Just remember, keep your heads down. Xenophobia, kind of a watchword where I'm from.
- Charles Gunn: I don't get it. Why they afraid of Xena? I mean, I think she's kinda fly.
- Wesley: "Xenophobia". - fear of foreigners.
- Charles Gunn: Oh, then can we pretend I didn't just say that?
- Angel: Let's start gathering some branches, some brush, anything that'll cover up the car. Oh hey, look. There's some over in that patch of sun... I'll get 'em!
- [rushes off]
- [arrived in another dimension, in daylight]
- Charles Gunn: You all see the street do that bendy thing?
- Angel: So we made it then, this is your world?
- Lorne the Host: Ah, yes. Home sweet hell.
- Angel: Ha, I'm not on fire.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: And, we're together! And we didn't merge into a freakish four-man Siamese twin.
- Charles Gunn: That was a risk? How come nobody told me that was a risk?
- Angel: [happy] Can everybody just notice how much fire I'm not on?
- Lorne the Host: Ah, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, all right.
- Lorne the Host: They need the hotspot because they're going to Pylea, my home dimension.
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: And you're not going with them?
- Lorne the Host: Aggie, I'd rather have a hydrochloric acid facial. I'd rather invite a hive of wasps to nest in my throat. I'd rather sit through a junior high school production of "Cats"! You see where I'm going with this?
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: Not Pylea.
- Lorne the Host: Exactamundo.
- Angel: Start talkin'.
- Lorne the Host: About my dimension? Sure, okay, let's see... , uh, I was there, I came here. I like here, I-I don't wanna go there.
- [Gunn tries to break handcuffs]
- Charles Gunn: [trying to get out of manacles] It's no use. Thing's made out of some kind of magical alloy.
- Wesley: Really? How can you tell?
- Charles Gunn: I can't. I'm just makin' myself feel better.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [Wesley, Angel, Lorne, and Gunn are surrounded by a mob of Pyleans] We've been through a lot together fellows. Fought a lot of battles. Faced some pretty steep odds...
- Gunn: [to Angel] I'll take the twenty on the left, you take the fifty on the right.
- Angel: Okay.
- Lorne the Host: Oh, am I glad to see you. And so much less dead than I expected.
- Angel: What'd they do to you?
- Lorne the Host: Well, first there was the welcome home parade thrown in my honor, ticker tape, streamers. Honestly, I was so touched I almost wept.
- [pause]
- Lorne the Host: Locked me in a room, pushed me around, asked a bunch of questions. Your standard film noir.
- Lorne the Host: [about Pylea] They have no music there. It doesn't exist. Do you know what that's like? No lullabies, no love songs. All my life I thought I was crazy, that I had ghosts in my head or something... simply because I could hear music. Of course, I didn't know it was music. All I knew was that it was something... beautiful and... and painful and right. And I was the only one who could hear it. Then I wound up here and heard Aretha for the first time. Well... Don't kid yourselves. Cordy's in a very bad place.
- Charles Gunn: I got a phone message. - It sounded like the captain of the Titanic getting ready to go down with the ship.
- Cordelia: I wanna go home. I wanna be in my bed. I wanna order some Thai food. I wanna read the latest issue of "Marie Claire". I wanna be doing anything but shoveling demon horse poo!
- Lorne the Host: Remember when I said, uh, I loved this dimension and I'm never, never, never gonna leave? Well, e-exactly which never did you not understand?
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: So, what brings you to the office?
- Lorne the Host: Like you don't already know.
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: Oh, I know. I just wanna see what kind of a spin you're gonna put on it.
- Lorne the Host: Dimensional portals, psychic hotspots. I need to find one.
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: Why?
- Lorne the Host: Some friends of mine are going on a little trip.
- Agnes 'Aggie' Belfleur: Hm. I see. And the big, flashing neon warning light in your aura means what?
- Lorne the Host: Eat at Joe's.
- Angel: I don't wanna research, all right? I wanna jump through the big swirly hole thingy and save Cordelia.
- Angel: What, is it out of batteries? Is this thing out of batteries?
- Lorne the Host: I don't know. I don't know how it works.
- Angel: Dammit! I just got her back.
- [first lines]
- Wesley: Cordy?
- Angel: Cordelia? Cordy? Cordy?
- Wesley: Oh, no. Oh, my God, no. How could I have let this happen?
- Angel: No, she's here somewhere. She's just hiding. Cordy? Cordy?
- Wesley: Angel?
- Angel: What?
- Wesley: She's gone. Cordy's been sucked into the portal. She's in the Host's dimension now.
- Angel: [to Lorne] Where's Cordelia?
- Angel: [the suns of Pylea is not affecting Angel] Why am I not on fire?
- Charles Gunn: Yo, that was phat!
- Wesley: Well it is another dimension. Perhaps theres some...
- Lorne the Host: Back up, Copernicus. That's suns. Plural.
- Wesley: Suns, yes. Well, perhaps they don't have the same effect on vampires.
- [pinches Angel's cheek]
- Angel: Watch it, alright? Hey!
- Wesley: Fascinating!
- Cordelia: [to the Pyleans] I'd just like to say that I don't know anything about a curse, okay? I just have these visions that... I don't get them very often.
- Lorne the Host: I think we're only a couple of miles from town but, we'll have to walk it.
- Angel: No problem here, walkin' in the sun. Hey, do it all the time.
- Wesley: Yes, we're all heartily aware that you're not on fire. Shall we go?
- Lorne the Host: [to Angel, Wesley and Gunn] You know, ordinarily I handle bad news really well. I just drown my sorrows in an iced cold gin and tonic, little squeeze of lime. Except for they don't have them here!
- Priest One: [to the Pyleans about Cordelia] The test is complete. It is the unanimous decision of the covenant that the girl is afflicted. She carries the curse of the sight.
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: How'd you get here?
- Cordelia: I'm pretty sure I... I was sucked in by a portal.
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: A portal?
- Cordelia: Yeah.
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: Where was it?
- Constable Narwek: [enters] Fugitive!
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: Oh, no!
- Cordelia: How do I get out of here?
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: You don't. They use you as a slave and then your body gives. Zip. Gone.
- Constable Narwek: For the crime of assault against those judged to be your betters, you are to be detained in the dungeon until our Royal Highness passes sentence upon you.
- Charles Gunn: I'm guessing community service is out.
- Priest One: [to the Pyleans] Time has arrived, my brethren. She is indeed cursed with the sight. Measures must be taken. Blood must be spilled.
- [last lines]
- Angel: One...
- Constable Narwek: Open the doors.
- Angel: Two...
- Cordelia: [Cordelia clears her throat] Hi guys.
- Angel: I think we might have a lead on Cordy.
- Lorne the Host: You found her?
- Angel: No. I heard two guys talking about a girl with visions. Said she was cursed.
- Lorne the Host: Yikes. I don't like the sound of that.
- Angel: They mentioned something about a Covenant. Something about performing tests on her.
- Wesley: Angel, I hate to state the obvious. But we need to get out of here.
- Angel: [to Wesley and Lorne after Cordelia is sucked into the other dimension] We're gonna open up another portal. And we're going in after her.
