Quotes 

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : I'm a rogue demon hunter, now.

  Cordelia : Wow. What's a rogue demon?

• Cordelia : [about the demon they killed]  Not that he didn't have it coming. He was a horrible, evil monster.

  Angel : Hmm, he did kill a lot of people.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Viciously mutilated their corpses.

  Cordelia : Plus he started the bidding on me at a paltry 2,000 dollars.

• Angel : What was the vision?

  Cordelia : Oh. Pfft! Who knows. It was a thing!

  Angel : A thing?

  Cordelia : An ugly, gray, blobby thing. What difference does it make?

  Angel : The difference is if you saw it in a vision it could be an ugly, gray, blobby, dangerous thing!

• Cordelia : I didn't ask for this responsibility, unlike some people who shall remain lifeless.

• Cordelia : Are you all right, Wesley?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : No, it's these pants. They tend to chafe one's... legs.

• Cordelia : Wait! Ahh! A vision! I'm having a vision. A demon, a creepy, little - You! It's definitely you. You're in great, great...

  Barney : Danger?

  Cordelia : Pain!

  [knees him between the legs] 

• Cordelia : Damn! I can't believe he did this to me.

  Angel : Who did what?

  Cordelia : Doyle! I thought our kiss meant something. And instead, he-he used that moment to pass it on to me. Why couldn't it have been mono or herpes?

• Barney : I'm sensing a little performance anxiety here. Little trick, picture everybody...

  Cordelia : [Interrupting]  In their underwear.

  Barney : [slight pause]  I was going to say dead, but hey, if that underwear thing works for you...

• [Barney plans to sell Cordelia to other demons] 

  Barney : I really don't want to hurt you. Bruises bring down the price.

  Cordelia : Help!

  [Barney slugs Cordelia] 

  Barney : But not by much.

• [last lines] 

  Cordelia : [holding up the drawing of her vision]  This, I frame for saving my life, and as a reminder that something of Doyle's is in our office.

  Wesley : Well, I'll be off then, Angel. Who knows when our paths will cross again?

  Angel : Wesley.

  Cordelia : Do you even know where you're headed?

  Wesley : Us rogue demon hunters rarely do. Wherever evil lurks, wherever the forces of darkness threaten humanity, that's where I'll be.

  Cordelia : Well, okay. Keep in touch.

  Wesley : Yes. Yes, I will, But now the evil lurking everywhere bids me onwards.

  [He hovers for a moment] 

  Wesley : So... I go.

  Cordelia : Take care.

  Wesley : Yes.

  [He disappears round the corner for a moment, then comes back again] 

  Wesley : No rest for the wicked fighters. Through storm and rain... heat... famine... deep painful gnawing hunger... I go.

  Angel : Breakfast?

  Wesley : [quickly putting down his bag and taking off his jacket]  Ooh... I suppose so.

  Cordelia : One of the perks of the job. After all all-nighter of fighting the lurking evil, we get eggs.

  Angel : Toast?

  Wesley : Please!

  Cordelia : I'm famished. He's a good cook really for someone on a liquid diet.

  Wesley : Astonishing, really. Mmm-mm. Did you say something about toast?
