Quotes

Lorne : Tell the truth. If the world were to end tonight, would it really, in your heart of hearts, be such a terrible thing?
[Angel doesn't answer]
Lorne : Now, now, sweetie, is that a fun place to be?
Angel : I think you should shut up now.
Lorne : I'm the Host. Have you met me? I never shut up. You pushed your friends away. You went from helping the helpless to hunting down the guilty. Blood vengeance is a luxury of the lesser being. You're a champion, Angel. I mean, you were, at least.
Angel : What do you want me to tell you?
Lorne : Everything. What's in your heart. Why you stopped caring. You know, the whole bowl of wax, so I can help you get back on your path. No need to rush. We got time. You know, not a lot.

Angel : Redemption. Darla had a shot at redemption. But they took it from her. Now I have to hunt her down and kill her. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna kill her, and then I'm gonna burn that law firm to the ground. My crew - they couldn't handle that. That's good. It means that they're still human. It means they're better off being fired.
Lorne : You kind of left them in the cold.
Angel : It's a lot colder in here.
Lorne : [to Angel] It's not always gonna be this way. The song changes. Unless, of course, we don't get there on time, in which case - you'll be frozen in this crappy mood forever. I shudder to think.
Angel : We'll get there.
Lorne : Look out!
-
Angel : Why'd you come to me?
Lorne : Isn't it obvious? You're a champion. A unique force for good in a troubled world. Also, all the other champions I know are currently out of town or dead. Why? You don't want to work with me? Is this 'cause I sent you on a couple of missions that turned out to be a little...
Angel : Pointless and deadly?
Lorne : As for example.
-
Angel : Two hundred highly intelligent law school graduates workin' full-time drivin' me crazy. Why the hell is everyone so surprised that it's working? But, no. It's, "Angel, why are you so cranky? Angel, you should lighten up. You should smile. You should wear a nice plaid."
Lorne : Oo, not this season, honey.

Angel : [trying to comfort Gene] Well, you know, love... it's a fire.
Gene Rainey : You've been there.
Angel : It burns you... alive. Down to the bone and then it turns the bone to ash, and...
Lorne : I-I think what my chipper friend is trying to say here Gene, is the wheel keeps turning. You-you can't stop it, sometimes things get worse, sometimes they get better.
Gene Rainey : I want the wheel to stop. Which probably explains the whole time-in-a-box disaster. I can't emphasize enough how sorry I am about that.
Lorne : [about living] It just don't work, Gene-y. It's like a song. Now, I can hold a note for a long time. - Actually, I can hold a note forever. - But eventually, that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after and the one after that. That's what makes it music.
Gene Rainey : I guess.
[pause]
Gene Rainey : You guys like beer?
Angel : Beer sounds great.
-
Lorne : [to Angel] Man, you just get darker and darker. And the weird thing is..., your aura? Beige.
-
Lorne : [to Angel] So, what we should do is start with the other Karaoke bars, see if we can get a lead on him. That is, if you're not too busy getting lawyers killed and setting girls on fire.
-
Lorne : [to the Batender] ...And you keep plugging away at that novel, F. Scott. Art is its own reward. Got to give the people hope.
-
Lorne : This whole sour pussy mode of yours is starting to grate. You know what your problem is? Are you listening?
Angel : Do I have a choice?
Lorne : Your heart isn't in it anymore.
Angel : I don't have a pulse, so technically, I don't have a heart.
Lorne : Technically, someone puts a stake through it, you don't have anything anymore. So, Bubba, your heart counts.
Angel : I have no idea what youre babbling about.
Lorne : Yes, you do.
