- Angel: [to Lilah] Don't you come at me through Cordelia ever again. You play that card a second time, and I'll kill you.
- Old Chinese Woman: [Angel, Gunn and Wesley enter Chinese herbalist] Your kind not welcome here.
- Charles Gunn: Since when can't a brother buy some ginseng tea?
- Old Chinese Man: Not you, him.
- [points at Angel]
- Old Chinese Man: Vampire not welcome.
- Skip: Hi.
- Angel: Hi.
- Skip: You know you're not supposed to be here, right?
- Angel: Yeah. What about him?
- [points to prisoner]
- Skip: Oh, him? Oh, he's supposed to be here. Do you have any idea how monstrous a guy's gotta be before he gets sent to us? We're a very high-end institution.
- Angel: And it's your job to keep him here?
- Skip: Yeah.
- [extends hand]
- Skip: I'm Skip.
- Angel: Angel.
- [pause]
- Angel: So... ah... you live in here, Skip?
- Skip: No, I commute. It's not too bad, though. About twenty minutes.
- [pause]
- Angel: What keeps him in the fire?
- Skip: My will.
- 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.
- Charles Gunn: Five herb shops in Chinatown. We've been to four. How come whatever we're searchin' for is always in the last place we look?
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I suppose it's one of the unwritten laws of being a dick. Ah... ahem... A sleuth, a gumshoe, a Sherlock.
- Charles Gunn: All I know is, you use the word "dick" again, and we're gonna have a problem. So what's the name of this place anyway?
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Van Hoa Dong. It should be up here on the left.
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: The visions aren't from the Powers.
- Lorne: Oh, sure, sweetheart, steal my thunder. Next time, you can be the one who gets thrown across the room.
- Gavin Park: This is a list of fifty-seven city code violations for your hotel, including earthquake proofing, asbestos and termites. Be advised I've filed a copy of this with the city planning office.
- Angel: Gee, fifty-seven. - Is that a lot?
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: I know you're probably disappointed that you couldn't go fight that thing with Angel.
- Charles Gunn: Right, because why would I want to walk with a cute young woman on a beautiful night, when I could be out hacking and slaying an ugly, boil-covered demon monster, and getting myself killed?
- Winifred 'Fred' Burkle: I can't apologize enough.
- Charles Gunn: Hey, I just follow orders, no matter how tough the job.
- Lorne: Way outside my areas of expertise, I should caution. But, hey, who knew William Shatner could sing? Okay, bad example.
- 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.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [about the key] Something you probably won't like to hear is that both artifacts are considered objects of good.
- Angel: Oh. So the Chinese guy and the boil guy...
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Were also aligned with the forces of good.
- Angel: Damn! So hard to tell these days, you know, they should wear lapel pins or something.
- Skip: [sniffing] You're a vampire, right? How come it smells like you work for The Powers That Be?
- Angel: Because I do.
- Skip: But you're here to try to rescue this guy? But, we're on the same side. Shouldn't you be helping to keep him in here?
- Angel: I know, I know. Long story. Involves a girl. I don't like it any better than you do.
- Skip: So, I really can't talk you out of this.
- Angel: Sorry. I wish you could. I guess we'll just have to agree to...
- [Skip hits Angel across the room]
- Angel: ...argh disagree.
- [last lines]
- Darla: You're a difficult man to find, señor. Do you know why I'm here? You are my last hope. I've been told you're very powerful, very wise. I've tried everything and I can't get rid of it. So, I ask you: What is this thing growing inside of me, and how is it possible?
- Shaman: The Father is also a...?
- Darla: Vampire? Yes. Though not a very good one.
- Shaman: I will need some blood.
- Darla: Well... I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
- [pause]
- Darla: Men are such babies.
- Shaman: This has never failed me.
- [pause]
- Shaman: I cannot help you. No man can. This is not meant to be known.
- Darla: Yeah, yeah. Like I haven't heard that before. Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do. Time to go visit Daddy.
- 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: [about Gavin Park] Yeah, okay. - Minion of darkness. - Satan's toady. - But that is a nice suit. Did you see that suit?
- [first lines]
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [to Gunn] No, Gunn, you misunderstand. I mean, I'm not saying that we act differently. I just think we should be gentle in our...
- 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?
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [to Gavin Park] Well, now that we've had this lovely reintroduction, - I suggest you piss off.
- Gavin Park: I'm working on a little something aimed at Angel Investigations. If you're interested, I'd love to have you on my team.
- Lilah Morgan: Your team?
- [to her associate]
- Lilah Morgan: I'll be right in.
- [to Gavin]
- Lilah Morgan: Let me tell you a little something about your team. You don't have one.
- Gavin Park: Look, just because they gave your Lindsey's old office, it doesn't...
- Lilah Morgan: I have this office because I earned it. As did Lindsey. He sacrificed his flesh and blood for this company. He literally had his hand cut off fighting against Angel. What are you doing? Building code violations.
- Gavin Park: I'm fighting Angel in my own way.
- Lilah Morgan: Yeah, I bet he's really terrified.
- Angel: [after Lorne is knocked out by Cordelia's vision] He's fine. He's unconscious, but he's fine.
