Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Cordelia : I understand people who drink too much. I understand people who put a little note on the parking meter that says it's broken when it's not. I don't understand people who worship demons.

  Charles Gunn : Yeah, especially a Lurite demon. The stink on that thing. You're a prince of the underworld, bro, take a Jacuzzi once in a while

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : It's sad. The only way some people can find a purpose in life is by becoming obsessed with demons.

  [Cordelia yarns] 

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : By the way, Gunn, technically that wasn't a Lurite, it was a Murite. A subspecies of the Lurite. The male sports a small telltale fin just behind the third shoulder.

  Charles Gunn : So glad to know we're not the sad people obsessed with demons.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Well, we have to be a little obsessed, we're detectives who specialize in these things.

  Cordelia : But... we're not sad.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : No. No, we're a happy and rambunctious lot if I ever saw one.

• Cordelia : [about Angel]  As soon as he works through his grief a little.

  Charles Gunn : A little? Buff...

  Cordelia : Don't say the "B" word!

  Charles Gunn : The "B" word was the love of his life. And he's what, two hundred and fifty? That ain't no short life. This grief-work's gonna take more than a vacation in Sri Lanka.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : It isn't a vacation, it's a spiritual retreat at a monastery.

  Charles Gunn : Hmm. Angel and a buncha monks in the middle of nowhere. There's a party. He shoulda got hammered and gone to Vegas like I told him.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : He doesn't need a lap dance, he needs some peace and quiet to work through this.

• Cordelia : You guys amaze me. You'll fight hell beasts but you're scared of rats.

  Charles Gunn : Man, I hate rats. Their little beady eyes.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : And their beady teeth.

  Charles Gunn : And their little tails all...

  [makes whooshing noises, wiggles his butt] 

• Charles Gunn : I realize we sacrifice a great deal of our social lives, but we have to. Work demands it.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : True. I mean who's got time for love when you're out there doing it with the demons? Didn't that come out sad and wrong?

  Cordelia : Yeah.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : I need to get out more. Speaking of, did anyone talk to Fred, lately?

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [about Pylea]  Fred was there five years. She was a slave, a runaway. They nearly chopped her head off. All those years she spent hiding out alone in that cave.

  Charles Gunn : She survived. Girl's strong.

  Cordelia : Girl's trading one cave for another. How strong is that?
