Cordelia Chase : [after bumping into Angel at a party] Well, I'd better get mingly. I really should be talking to people that *are* somebody. But it was fun!
[Cordelia leaves]
Angel : [to himself] It's nice that she's grown as a person.

Allen Francis Doyle : I've been sent by the powers that be.
Angel : The powers that be what?

Allen Francis Doyle : Once upon a time, there was a vampire. And he was the meanest vampire in all the land. I mean, other vampires were afraid of him he was such a... bastard. Then, one day, he's cursed by gypsies. They restore his human soul. And, all of a sudden, he's mad with guilt. You know, "What have I done! Oh!" He's freaked.
Angel : Uh. Okay, now I'm sleepy.
Allen Francis Doyle : Yeah, well, it's a fairly dull tale. It needs a little sex is my feelin'. So, sure enough, enter the girl; pretty little blonde thing, Vampire Slayer by trade. And our vampire falls madly in love with her. But eventually, the two of them, well, they-they get fleshy with one another. And the moment he- Well, I guess the technical term is "perfect happiness". But when our boy gets there, he goes bad again, he kills again. It's ugly. So, when he gets his soul back for the second time, he figures, hey, he can't be anywhere near Miss Puppy Thighs without endangering them both. So, what does he do? He takes off, goes to L.A. to fight evil and atone for his crimes. He's a shadow. A faceless champion of the human race.

[first lines of the episode and of the series]
Angel : [narrating] Los Angeles. You see it at night and it shines; a beacon. People are drawn to it. People and other things. They come for all sorts of reasons. My reason? No surprise there. It started with a girl.
-
Angel : You don't smell human.
Allen Francis Doyle : Well, that's a bit rude. As it happens, I'm very much human.
[he sneezes, his demon face emerges, he shakes it off]
Allen Francis Doyle : On my mother's side.
-
Angel : Why would a woman I've never met even talk to me?
Allen Francis Doyle : Have you looked in the mirror lately? No, I guess you really haven't, no.
-
Angel : I don't wanna share my feelings. I don't wanna open up. I wanna find the guy that killed Tina, and I wanna look him in the eye.
Allen Francis Doyle : Then what?
Angel : Then I'm gonna share my feelings.
-
Tina : The only help I need is a ticket home. And that wasn't me asking for money.
Angel : Where's home?
Tina : Missoula, Montana.
[Angel smiles fondly]
Tina : You've been to Missoula?
Angel : During the Depression.
[Angel sees Tina's questioning look]
Angel : [quickly covering] Uh... my depression. Uh, I was depressed there. But it's pretty country.
Tina : Yeah. Lots of open land. Lots of nothing else.

Russell Winters : We don't have to go around attacking each other. Look at me. I pay my taxes, I keep my name out of the paper, and I don't make waves. In return, I can do anything I want.
Angel : Really? Hm. Can you fly?

[about Cordelia]
Allen Francis Doyle : She'll provide a connection to the world. She's got a very... humanizing influence.
Angel : You think she's a hottie.
Allen Francis Doyle : Ah, yeah. She's a stiffener, all right. I can't lie about that.
-
Allen Francis Doyle : [when Angel is gathering his stuff before going to Russell's place] Wow, you're really going to war, here. Guess you've, uh, guess you've seen a few in you time, yeah?
Angel : 14, not including Vietnam. They never declared it.
-
Allen Francis Doyle : When was the last time you drank blood?
Angel : Buffy.
Allen Francis Doyle : Left you with a bit of craving, didn't it? Let me tell you something, pal, that craving's gonna grow. And one day soon, one of those helpless victims that you don't really care about is gonna look way too appetizing to turn down. And you'll figure, "Hey, what's one against all I've saved? Might as well eat them. Still ahead by the numbers".
