Quotes 

• Cordelia : Angel? What you did for me was unbelievably selfless, and brave, and amazing. And, it's so great to know that the next vision I have will just be blindingly painful and not turn me back into the Elephant Man or anything.

  Angel : I hear a big "but" coming.

  Cordelia : What if that guy you freed is someone or something that's truly terrible? Wolfram and Hart won this time, and it's all my fault.

  Angel : It's not about winning, Cordelia. It's about what's at stake. And in this particular scenario you were way more important than winning. I can't worry about that guy I set free. I did what I had to do. I'll just deal with the consequences when they happen.

• Cordelia : [to Fred]  Wow! You know, next to you, I am down-right linear.

• Cordelia : [about Lorne reading Cordelia]  Well, it's not like I'm morally against letting demons into my subconscious for a quick lookie-loo. Hey, it might be fun... But with the Powers That Be doing this whole Book of Job thing..., the last thing I want is more noise in my head.

  Angel : Maybe he can make the noise stop.

  Cordelia : Yeah?

  Angel : Isn't that what you want?

  Cordelia : Yes! No. Well, no. Sure I hate looking and feeling like this, but if I lose the visions, I wouldn't be able to help you anymore. You wouldn't need me.

  Angel : That's not why I need you. You're important, and the visions are just after market extras like Hurst shift or Craiger wheels.

  Cordelia : Did you just compare me to a car?

  Angel : It was a very nice car.

  Cordelia : I guess it's better than a dog.

  Angel : Cordy, let us try and help. Okay?

  Cordelia : Okay.

• Lorne : Alright, Princess, like I told you earlier. You shouldn't even feel a thing. You ready? Now, I want you to relax. Picture yourself outdoors, in a field or on a mountain.

  Cordelia : I like the mountains.

  Lorne : Beautiful. You're on a mountain top. And it's warm, the sky is blue, full of big fluffy clouds. You're Julie Andrews in "The Sound Of Music". And you're relaxed, and you're spinning, and the camera's swirling, and...

  [Cordelia hits him] 

  Lorne : Careful, honey, you got some power of your own.

  Cordelia : Sorry. All that spinning and swirling was freaking me out.

  Lorne : My fault, my fault. I just love that movie so much. Okay, ready to try again? Alright, now let's go looking for The Powers That Be. See if we can reach out and touch someone.

• Cordelia : [to Gavin]  I'm sorry. I-I didn't hear you sneak up on us. Must be those tastefully expensive Gucci loafers. Totally our fault.

• Cordelia : Was it there? 'Cause I'm gonna be really ticked off if I'm all

  [points at her face] 

  Cordelia : Phantom of the Opera and there wasn't a key.

• Cordelia : [about Gavin Park]  Yeah, okay. - Minion of darkness. - Satan's toady. - But that is a nice suit. Did you see that suit?

• Charles Gunn : [describing Cordelia's visions to Fred]  What Cordelia means is that she doesn't choose to have a vision. The Powers send them to her, when they got info to share.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Think of them as gifts.

  Cordelia : Yes, "having my head torn open and hot lava poured into my skull" gifts.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Has anyone ever told you you're exactly like Lassie. You're Angel's Lassie. Sure, he does most of the saving... but it's your visions that tell him that Timmy's trapped in the well, or the robbers are hiding in the barn. He really needs and depends on you.

  Cordelia : Well, thanks. I'd be flattered, except for the "Lassie being a dog" part!

  [to Dennis] 

  Cordelia : Dennis, a little help here.

  [to Fred] 

  Cordelia : See, I'm not alone. I have a ghost. Bye, we'll have to...

  [Cordelia has a vision] 

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Are you alright?
