Angel Quotes l Cordelia Quotes
Angel: Ask me why I'm smiling.
Cordy: I will because it's scaring me.
Gunn: So as soon as the restaurant closed, BAM, I jimmy it and we're in there eating everything. Alonna's cookin' up steaks, I'm pulling out bottles of wine -- 'cause it's hard to find a wine that goes with every single item of food in the place, which is pretty much what we ate. There wasn't any "Think ahead, Save it for later", just the moment: us living high. (he pauses, remembering)
Fred: I'm sorry if, you... I didn't mean to bring up your sister...
Gunn: No, I like talking about her. With you, anyway. You kind of remind me
of her.
Angel: Gunn, these guys are tight, and you're gonna be tripping out.
Gunn: Don't be using my own phrases when we've lost the trust.
Fred: Can I ask you a question?
Cordy: (about Wes) I think you guys are perfect for each other. (off her look) I have magic powers, remember?
Fred: (about Gunn) It's not like we've said anything... He's just so sweet, and commanding, and I feel so comfortable around him... I mean, I don't even know if he feels -
Cordy: He feels.
Fred: And then we gotta find a dress for you. Something that'll make Angel crazy.
Cordy: Fred, sweetie, Angel IS crazy.
Host: You're a man of many limitations, Angel. Can't go out into the sun,
can't feel the fresh air fill your lungs, can't, uh, achieve a certain
level of physical intimacy without turning apocalyptically evil. But you're a man. You got a heart. It may not keep time but it's in there. And Cordelia is a hell of a lady.
Gunn: I'll say it once and gloat all you want: These guys are tight, and I am tripping out.
Gunn: You know, I was cool before I met y'all.
Cordy: You want I should distract him? Make with the nice nice while you
slip by?
Angel: Don't be stupid. (she looks hurt, but then….)
I'm THAT guy, and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is making eyes
at me? That's either a bachelor party, or a scam.
Cordy: What did you just call me?
Angel: I'm sorry. You're not stupid.
Angel: It is us, Cordelia. You and me. And
kissing you, it's... It's not something I can just --
Cordy: (missing the point) Oh come on. It's not that horrible.
Angel: You all right?
Cordy: Yeah. We gotta move.
Angel: You think they're not dead?
Cordy: You just looked really hot doing that.
Angel: Oh.
Wes: Who's laughing now? (pause) Well, you, but I still win.
Gunn: I think if you care that much... the wound is definitely deep.
Fred: The light is dimming?
Gunn: And all I ask... is one... last...
(they kiss)
Wes: You should clean it. Do you need anything for the pain?
Gunn: (looking at Fred) What pain?
Angel: I would just want, if we were to... I'd want it to be, um, new. Start at the beginning.
Cordy: Lost me in the middle.
Angel: Cordy, we've been working together a long time, and... I mean you've become... a truly extraordinary woman. I know we haven't always gotten along, but I really think we... you know we...
Fred: Well, that's a surprise. I thought for sure she was meant to be with
Angel. I guess you can never predict those things. You know?
Wes: No. I guess you never can.
