Quotes
-
Wesley : Well, we're hardly prepared to face a demon of Deevak's caliber in our current condition.
Charles Gunn : You ready to pack it in? Only reason I called you was 'cause y'all supposed to be the demon experts.
Angel : Wesley's right. Three vamps, we should have been able to take them all a lot easier and faster than we did. We need to regroup.
Charles Gunn : Maybe the rest of you need a little down time, but I'm gonna track down Jameel and make him talk.
Cordelia Chase : When you do find him, you may wanna be a little more Guy Pearce in "L.A Confidential" and a little less Michael Madsen in "Reservoir Dogs."
Charles Gunn : I haven't bothered to see a movie since Denzel was robbed at the Oscars for "Malcolm X." Later.

[Gunn is looking for Angel and he's told Angel's sleeping]
Cordelia Chase : Maybe *we* can help.
Charles Gunn : You two? I find Deevak, I'm gonna need more than C-3PO and Stick-Figure Barbie backing me up, no offense.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Very little taken.
-
Charles Gunn : Where's Angel?
Cordelia Chase : I believe the word is 'hello'?
Charles Gunn : Yeah? 'Cause I thought 'Where's Angel' summed it up. We got work to do.
Cordelia Chase : He's still sleeping.
Charles Gunn : Sleeping? It's 3:30 in the afternoon. I've been up since dawn!
Cordelia Chase : Sort of missing the whole 'creature of the night' angle, isn't he?
-
Charles Gunn : So, could one of you go in there and knock on his coffin?
Cordelia Chase : He doesn't use a coffin. And maybe you've never heard the expression "Let sleeping vampires lie"? He'll rise on his own. Always does.
-
Cordelia Chase : You need protection.
Charles Gunn : And how exactly do you plan on protecting me? With some weak ass ladysmith battle-axe?
Cordelia Chase : Ask Joey, and his cracked skull just how 'weak ass' it is.
-
Charles Gunn : Deevak is a bad-ass. I'm gonna need the serious muscle.
-
Charles Gunn : You don't have the keys?
Cordelia Chase : Well, I-I kinda left them in the car when I went in to save you. I thought you were in danger. Every second counted.
Charles Gunn : You know, I gotta tell you, you are one high-maintenance chick.
Cordelia Chase : The keys are here... somewhere.
Charles Gunn : You are killin' me!
Cordelia Chase : Can't you, you know, hot-wire it?
Charles Gunn : Just cause I know some car theives, don't mean I am one.
-
Cordelia Chase : Angel is not gonna be happy. Do you know what he's gonna do to me when he finds out I let his car get stolen? I mean, what are the chances that a vampire has full insurance with a low deductible?
Charles Gunn : I'll find the car.
Cordelia Chase : And how exactly are you gonna do that?
Charles Gunn : I know a couple of guys in this part of town that jack vintage cars. We'll run down the list until we find Angel's ride.
Cordelia Chase : And then what? You're just gonna ask them to give it back?
Charles Gunn : I'll say please
Cordelia Chase : Ooh! I forgot. You'll use your famous charm. Like you did this afternoon with that pigeon stool.
Charles Gunn : It's stool pigeon. - And you don't have clue why I do the things I do!
Cordelia Chase : Paging Mr. Rationalization!
Charles Gunn : Paging Ms. About-to-be-thrown-out-of-a-moving-vehicle.
-
Deevak : How touching. A woman willing to die with her man.
Cordelia Chase : Oh, no. He's not my man. He-he's just a friend. And, about the willing to die part...
Charles Gunn : You must be Deevak. They told me you were ugly, but damn.
Deevak : And you're the big bad Gunn.
-
Cordelia Chase : I've also got this.
[Gunn looks unimpressed]
Cordelia Chase : Mace.
Charles Gunn : Mace?
Cordelia Chase : Squirt, squirt, right in the eyes?
Charles Gunn : You expectin' me to be jumped by a couple of purse-snatchin' demons?
-
Cordelia Chase : Geez, short enough leash, or do you just go all warm and tingly on the whole power-trip thing?
Charles Gunn : Some people need dicipline to survive. Now, when we get inside, just shut up and stick close to me.
Cordelia Chase : Hold on there, General Lee Simo, I'm not one of your toy soldiers you can just boss around.
Charles Gunn : I don't even want you here.
Cordelia Chase : Too bad. I am here, and I don't take orders. Well, except from Angel. And, at least he usually asks nicely. And besides, I don't need you to tell me how to behave at a party. Trust me, I know how to blend.
[they enter]
Cordelia Chase : Okay, not exactly blending. Maybe, I'll just shut up and stick close to you.
-
Cordelia Chase : You were so scared.
Charles Gunn : See, now I know you're tripping, because I don't get scared.
Cordelia Chase : Well, I do! The things I've seen, sometimes they get downright terrifying. And right now, I am scared for you!
