Quotes 

• Charles Gunn : [Gunn enters Wesley's office and greets Wesley and Fred]  You guys are gonna want to see this.

  [Hands Wesley a report] 

  Charles Gunn : Been getting reports of a vigilante prowling the streets last night. A vampire, apparently.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Angel never left his penthouse.

  [Reads from the paper] 

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : "Vigilante reportedly killed 2 vampires at a gas station, then asked the women he saved if they'd, quote, like to get a bottle of hootch and listen to some Sex Pistols records with him."

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Are we sure Angel's just tired and not, um... crazy?

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Yes, oddly, once again we find ourselves in a bit of a gray...

  Angel : Don't...

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : ...area.

  Angel : - say that! Can we just get through one damn day without saying that?

• Spike : Look... I told Angel, and I'll tell you. A place like that doesn't change... not from the inside. Not from the out. You sign on there, it changes you. Puts things in your head. Spins your compass needle around 'till you can't cross the street without tripping the proverbial old lady and stepping on her glasses. And it's not like I wasn't there, gents. Like I wasn't watching you. Had to haunt the damn place, remember?

  Charles Gunn : Things aren't that cut-and-dried, Spike. We're making a difference. We're just... playing by a new set of rules.

  Spike : So what? You want me to... put on a suit, come play with you?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Something like that.

  Spike : I can't believe Angel would sign off on that. Unless... he doesn't know you're here, does he? Hedging our bets, are we, boys?

  Charles Gunn : That's not how it is.

  Spike : And the compass needle keeps spinning. And the world gets murkier and murkier.

• Charles Gunn : What I want to know is how that thing even got in here in the first place.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : We're checking the firm's storage facilities. It's possible that a specimen escaped or...

  Angel : [to Eve]  You. You brought it.

  Eve : Me?

  Angel : You were here.

  Eve : I had a cameo in your little dream sequence? That's so sweet.

  Angel : You put the big one on me after I killed the other one.

  Charles Gunn : The other one?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Angel, there was only one.

  Angel : No.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Maybe you were confusing reality with your hallucinations?

  Angel : Uh-uh. Changed your clothes.

  Eve : Yeah. I do that sometimes, after a long day.

  Angel : But you didn't change your earrings. You were wearing those in my hallucination, except I haven't seen you for days.

  Eve : I've worn them before. Hey, I can't be held responsible for how you dress me in your fantasies.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : You did change your clothes, Eve, and I've never seen those earrings before today.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : If you want to save the world, we've got the resources to help you do it.

  Spike : No offense, Mr. Vader, but I've got no itch to join the evil empire.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : [Dream sequence: Lorne, Angel, and barmaid Harmony are in a saloon. Fred, Wesley, and Gunn are at a bar table]  I told you he was empty.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Yes, but this is ridiculous! We paid good money for this. We paid blood for this.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : [Dream sequence: Angel is sitting in the middle of a peaceful, sunlit meadow. Fred, Wesley, Gunn, and Lorne appear]  This is really nice.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : You can stay as long as you like. Stay forever.

  Angel : No... there's so much work to do.

  Charles Gunn : It's fine. We got it covered.

  Angel : But I'm not supposed to be here.

  Lorne : Enough fighting, Angel-heart. Time to let freedom ring. Let yourself go.

  Angel : But I'm not finished.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : You are if you want to be.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : It'll be fine. Great, actually. All you have to do is stop caring.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Oh! Hey! Did you talk to Spike?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : We did.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : What'd he say?

  Charles Gunn : Oh, you know... stuff.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : I say we make a pre-emptive strike. Remove him before he and his followers go underground.

  Charles Gunn : Assassination?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : We're talking about an evil warlock here. The longer we wait, the more powerful he becomes.

  Charles Gunn : I don't plan on waiting.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Really? What is your plan?

  Charles Gunn : We open a can of Machiavelli on his ass.

  Harmony Kendall : [condescendingly]  It's Matchabelli, Einstein, and it doesn't come in a can.
