Angel (TV Series)

The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco (2003)

Alexis Denisof: Wesley Wyndam-Pryce

Quotes 

• Angel : Wes, did you ever hear that the devil built a robot?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [in awe]  El Diablo Robotico.

  [pause] 

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Why?

  Angel : Nobody ever tells me anything.

• Angel : So it's eating the hearts of heroes, and their blood is what keeps it alive.

  Winifred "Fred" Burkle : Yeah, but it does more than that. It acts like a kind of supercharged rocket fuel. Makes it, you know...

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Nigh invulnerable.

  Spike : Oh, I could kill it. I mean, ghostiness to the contrary. Well, come on, lads. Everything has an Achilles heel.

  Angel : And you just so happen to know this creature's Achilles heel?

  Spike : Well, I wager it's the heart.

  Winifred "Fred" Burkle : [She looks at her computer screen]  You see that in the science?

  Spike : No, luv, in the poetry. We're dealing with a mythic creature here, a kill-or-be-killed kind of creature. If I was gonna kill something that was trying to take my heart, I'd try to bloody well take its heart first.

• Charles Gunn : Still not sure why Blondie Ghost tagged along.

  Spike : Not much choice really, is there? Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playin' Agatha Christie.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Yeah, remind me again how you ended up in the front seat.

  Spike : Called shotgun, mate.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Oh. I thought we were doing a weapons check.

  Charles Gunn : Nothin' wrong with that. We may need these bad boys if we're goin' up against some Mexican Day of the Dead heart-suckin' monster.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Angel, the church we're looking for is about half a mile...

  [Angel interrupts by pulling a screeching U-Turn] 

  Spike : Always was a bit of a drama queen.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Remind me again how you ended up in the front seat?

  Spike : I called shotgun.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Oh. I thought we were doing a weapons check.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Three people found with their hearts cut out in East Los Angeles, all within the last couple of hours. The police are on it, but my sense is it's more demonic than some murderous nut job.

  Spike : So we're ruling out demonic nut jobs, then, are we?
