Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : What connects us to life is a simple truth that we're a part of it. We live, we grow, we change. But Angel...
Cordelia : Can't do any of those things.
-
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [researching Angel's destiny] Uh, oops. I may have made a tiny mistake. Uh, the word "shanshu" that I said meant you were going to die? Actually, I think it means you're going to live.
Cordelia : Okay, as tiny mistakes go, that's not one!
-
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [about the word 'shanshu' in the scroll] This word is *pivotal* to what it prophesies about the vampire with a soul.
Cordelia : Well, hurry up and figure out what it says about Angel, cos I wanna know what it says about me. If there's torrid romance in my future? Massive wealth? If I have to, I'll settle for enviable fame.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : It's an ancient sacred text, not a magic 8-ball.
-
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Angel, I hope I'm wrong about all this, but it might be a good time to consult the Oracles.
Angel : I don't need to see the Oracles about this.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Well, think about it.
Cordelia : [encouragingly] Oracles... Get out of the house... Could be fun.
[Cut to the chamber of the Oracles]
Female Oracle : How dare you enter this sacred space?
Male Oracle : Who do you think you are?
Female Oracle : We do not appreciate being summoned by a lower being.
Male Oracle : Who knows no better than to come here on a whim.
Vocah Demon : I'm not here on a whim.
Female Oracle : We do not counsel your kind. The powers of darkness are not allowed to cross this threshold. How did you get past it?
Vocah Demon : The old order passes away and the new order's come. He that was first shall now be last and he that was dead shall now arise.
Female Oracle : Yes, and he that is trespassing shall now depart.
[Vocah puts a hand behind his back]
Male Oracle : We shall speak no more.
[a battle scythe grows in Vocah's hand]
Vocah Demon : Yes, I know.
