Illyria : We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : There's love. There's hope... for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy... that your life will lead you to some joy... that after everything... you can still be surprised.
Illyria : Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Knox : Showtime.
Spike : Any seats left?
Angel : If not, we can just stand in the back.
Knox : Guys, you should scan the headlines here. You-you can't win this.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Then we all die trying.
Illyria : Why?
Angel : You want the short version? Let's start with you walkin' around lookin' like the woman you murdered.
Illyria : You think your actions will restore her.
Angel : No.
Illyria : Yet you seek a confrontation you cannot win.
Angel : What you're tryin' to do - raise your army, reclaim your world - innocent people would die, like Fred. I can't let that happen.
Illyria : You are the protector of these creatures?
Angel : Yes.
Illyria : You'd fight for their lives?
Angel : Yes.
Illyria : Even this one?
Knox : Is that an issue? Is-is my life in peril, boss? King?
Angel : You're about as low as it gets, Knox. But you're a part of humanity. That isn't always pretty, but it's a hell of a lot better than what came before. And if it comes down to a choice between you and him... then, yes. I would fight for his life just like any other human's, because that's what people do. That's what makes us...
[Wesley shoots Knox]
Angel : [to Wesley] Were you even listening?
Illyria : You've destroyed my Qwa'ha Xahn.
Spike : Yeah, okay. But you've gotta admit, he had it coming.

[first lines]
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Fred?
[Illyria walks past Wesley toward the mirror, ignoring him]
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Illyria?
Illyria : My name. You would presume to speak my name? Because I am returned in the body of a human, you think you can speak to me. It's disgusting.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Who is Winifred Burkle?
Illyria : I thought the humans would have long died out by now. Instead, you've grown bold.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : So you don't know who Fred is?
Illyria : Nor care. Bleat at me no longer. We're done.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Yes.
[he bends to pick up a battle-axe]
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : We are.
-
Illyria : It can't be. It's gone. My world is gone.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Now you know how I feel.
-
Illyria : This is grief. I'm watching human grief - it's like offal in my mouth.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : If you stay here you'll taste it every day. Every second. Look. Humans rule the earth. They will last for millennia, like roaches crawling everywhere. Crying and sweating and puking their feelings all over you. Go back. Sleep until the humans are gone. They are stupid and weak. They'll kill each other off, and you can return to the world you deserve. Leave this shell.
