Quotes 

  • Holland Manners : Welcome to the Home Office.

    Angel : [sees the place where they were]  This isn't...

    Holland Manners : Oh, you know it is. You know that better than anyone. The things you've seen. The things you've... well, done. You see, if there wasn't evil in every single one of those people out there... why, they wouldn't be people. They'd all be angels. Have a nice day.

  • Angel : You're not gonna win.

    Holland Manners : Well... no. Of course we aren't. We have no intention of doing anything so prosaic as "winning."

    [Holland laughs] 

    Angel : Then why?

    Holland Manners : I'm sorry. Why what?

    Angel : Why fight?

    Holland Manners : That's really the question you should be asking yourself, isn't it? See, for us, there is no fight. Which is why winning doesn't enter into it. As a corporation, we go on... no matter what. You see, Angel... our firm has always been here on Earth... in one form or another. The Spanish Inquisition. The Khmer Rouge Genocide... one of my favorites. I personally was there. We were here when the very first modern cave man clubbed his neighbor on the head with a rock for stealing his dinner. See, we're in the hearts and minds of every single living being on this planet. And that, friend, is what's making things so difficult for you. That is the source of Wolfram & Hart's power. You see, the world doesn't work in spite of evil, Angel. It works with us. It works because of us.

  • Holland Manners : [sarcastic]  Well, isn't this exiting? Going straight to the source of Wolfram & Hart. So, what's the big plan, Angel? Destroy the Senior Partners? Smash Wolfram & Hart out of existence once and for all?

    Angel : Something like that.

    Holland Manners : Hmmm. So tell me, just what do you imagine that would accomplish in the end I mean?

    Angel : It will be the end.

    Holland Manners : Well, the end of you... certainly. But I meant in the larger sense.

    Angel : In the larger sense, I really don't give a crap.

    Holland Manners : Now, I know that's not true. Be honest. You've got the tiniest bit of "give a crap" left. Otherwise, you wouldn't be going on this kamikaze mission.

  • Holland Manners : [clapping]  Congratulations. Great victory.

    Angel : You're...

    Holland Manners : Holland Manners.

    Angel : ...not alive.

    Holland Manners : Oh, no. I'm quite dead. Unfortunately my contract with Wolfram and Hart extends well beyond that... beyond my own lifespan. Hop on in. You've certainly earned it. No, I'm not a ghost either or a vampire. It's just me. Dead me. See? Home Office, wasn't it? I should mention the trip is one way. If there are no objections, I suggest we get going. It's rather a long ride.
