Quotes 

• Angel : The world wants me gone.

  Buffy Summers : What about me? I love you so much... And I tried to make you go away... I killed you, and it didn't help... And I hate it! I hate that it's so hard... and that you can hurt me so much... I *know* everything that you did because you did it to me. Oh, God. I wish that I wished you dead... I don't...

  [whispers] 

  Buffy Summers : I can't.

  Angel : Buffy, please... Just this once... let me be strong.

  Buffy Summers : Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together. But if you're too much of a coward for that, then burn. If I can't convince you that you belong in this world then I don't know what can. But do not expect me to watch. And don't expect me to mourn for you, because...

  [it starts snowing, the clouds blocking the sunrise] 

• Angel : Look, I'm weak. I've never been anything else. It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy. It's the man.

  Buffy Summers : You're weak. Everybody is. Everybody fails. Maybe this evil did bring you back, but if it did, it's because it needs you. And that means that you can hurt it... Angel, you have the power to do real good, to make amends. But if you die now, then all that you ever were was a monster.

• Angel : It told me to kill you. You were in the dream. You know. It told me to lose my soul in you and become a monster again.

  Buffy Summers : I know what it told you. What does it matter?

  Angel : Because I wanted to! Because I want you so badly. I wanna take comfort in you and I know it'll cost me my soul and a part of me doesn't care.

• Angel : I need to know... I need to know why I'm here.

  Rupert Giles : Here...? Back on Earth?

  Angel : I should be in a demon dimension suffering an eternity of torture.

  Rupert Giles : I don't feel particularly inclined to argue with that.

• Angel : I... I can't come in unless you invite me.

  [Giles re-enters holding a loaded crossbow] 

  Rupert Giles : I'm aware of that.

• [answering knock on door and finding Angel] 

  Rupert Giles : Hello.

  Angel : Um... I'm sorry to bother you.

  Rupert Giles : [begins laughing sourly]  Sor... Sorry. Coming from you that phrase strikes me as rather funny. Sorry to bother me.

  Angel : I need your help.

  Rupert Giles : And the funny keeps on coming.

• Angel : What do you want?

  Jenny Calendar : I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren but... guess that's off the menu.

• Buffy Summers : Vampires probably not that big on Christmas, now that I think about it.

  Angel : Not as a rule.

• Angel : I'm sorry.

  Jenny Calendar : You're sorry? For me? Don't bother. I'm dead. I'm over it.

• Angel : I wanted to know why I was back. Now I do.

  Buffy Summers : You don't know. Some great evil takes credit for bringing you back, and you buy it? You just give up?

  [Dublin, 1838] 

  Angel : Daniel... Where were you going?

  Daniel : You... You're not human.

  Angel : Not of late, no.

  Daniel : Wh-What do you want?

  Angel : Well, it happens that I'm hungry Daniel and seeing as that you're somewhat in me debt...

  Daniel : Please, I can't.

  Angel : A man playing at cards should have a natural intelligence or a great deal of money, and you're sadly lacking in both.

• Angel : You're not here.

  Jenny Calendar : I'm always here.

• Angel : [to a frightened Margaret]  We'll be as quiet as mice.

  [he's now got his vampire face on] 

  Angel : No matter what.

• Male Ghost : [as the First, tormenting Angel]  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?"

  [assumes the form of Margaret] 

  Margaret : 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.

  Margaret : Yeah, cry out. Make a scene.

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

  Angel : It wasn't me.

  Jenny Calendar : It wasn't you?

  Angel : A demon isn't a man. I was a man once.

  Jenny Calendar : Oh, yes, and what a man you were.

  [flashback to Angel carousing as a human] 

  Margaret : A drunken, whoring layabout, and a terrible disappointment to your parents.
