"Conviction"
Wesley: (questioning) Spike.
Angel: (irritated) Spike.
Harmony: Blondie Bear?
"Just Rewards"
Spike: I'm slippin'.
Fred: What?
Spike: Don't wanna go, but it's like, it's like the ground underneath me is, splitting open and my legs are, straddling both sides of this bloody big chasm. It's getting wider, pulling me in.
Fred: Is that, is that what's happening when you keep vanishing?
Spike: I know what's down there, where it's trying to take me. And it's not the place heroes go. Not by a bloody long shot. It's the other one. Full of fire and torment. And it's happening. And I'm terrified. (pauses and turns to her) Help me?
"Unleashed"
Gunn: So...werewolf girl. Think you got a shot?
Angel: She gave me a look.
Wesley: Really? A look?
"Hellbound"
Spike: No. I'm not gonna end up like Pavayne--cheating Hell any way he could, no matter who it hurt.
Fred: Just proves what I've been telling everybody.
Spike: That I'm a handsome devil who brightens the place up?
Fred: That you're worth saving.
"Life of the Party"
Lorne: (re: party) Yeah. You know, Angel, I--I don't have superhuman strength, and I'm not a fighter. Quantum physics makes me nauseous, I barely made a passing grade at mystical studies, but I'm on your team. This is something I can do. I believe it has a purpose, even if you don't.
"The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco"
Spike: Hey! Fred! Did ya hear? Angel attacked the old mail guy.
Angel: What?!
Fred: Not Number 5? You didn't hurt him?
Angel: No. I--he attacked me.
Wesley: We should find him.
Spike: Absolutely. Wanna buy him a pint. Bloody made my day.
"Lineage"
Fred: Part of you knew. Even if you can't admit it to yourself, part of you knew it wasn't him.
Wesley: No. I was sure it was him. You were there. I killed my father.
Fred: He was threatening your friends.
Wesley: He was threatening you. He pointed a gun at you, Fred...so I shot him.
"Destiny"
Sirk: (re: Shanshu) You didn't read the prophecy.
Angel: I didn't?
Sirk: You read a translation of the prophecy. It's like comparing the King James Bible with the original Aramaic, the Hebrew. Much of the flavor, the subtlety of usage, the historical context has been stripped away. (scoffs) Read the prophecy. You may as well have read a 12-year-old's book report on the subject.
Gunn: I miss Wesley.
"Harm's Way"
Harmony: Yeah--not mattering. I know that feeling well.
Spike: Oh, come on, Harm, you matter to someone.
Harmony: I do?
Spike: Yeah. Girl tried to frame you, didn't she? Must have mattered to her. Everybody's talking about it.
Harmony: You're right. That girl hated me. She wanted me dead. I matter.
"Soul Purpose"
Angel: Playing your own game here? What do you think the Partners will do to you after they find out about your little extracurricular activities?
Eve: So things aren't going your way, and you're looking for someone outside your little circle to blame. Here's a thought. Maybe you should try looking inward...unless you don't like what you see.
"Damage"
Angel: (re: Dana) She's psychotic, and I'm not turning her over...to you.
Andrew: You don't have a choice. Check the view screen, Uhura. I got 12 vampire slayers behind me, and not one of them has ever dated you. She's coming with us one way or another.
Angel: You're way outta your league. I'll just clear this with Buffy.
Andrew: Where do you think my orders came from? News flash--nobody in our camp trusts you anymore. Nobody. You work for Wolfram & Hart. Don't fool yourself...we're not on the same side.
"You're Welcome"
Cordelia: I can't stay. This isn't me anymore. You can say good-bye to the gang for me, explain everything, once you understand.
Angel: That's gonna be never. I need you here.
Cordelia: Don't make this hard, Angel. I'm just on a different road...and this is my off ramp. The Powers That Be owed me one, and I didn't waste it. I got my guy back on track.
Angel: Cordy, there's just--
Cordelia: We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it. I'll be seeing you. (walks away then stops) Oh, what the hell. One for the road? (runs to Angel and kisses him)
"Why We Fight"
Lawson: Funny what goes through a man's mind when his life's hanging in the balance. Boys talked about that a lot back on the boat. Always figured it'd be the special moments you freeze in time. Your mom singing you to sleep at night. Sneaking into the movies with your best friend. The way your girl's hair shimmers in the sun. But the truth is...the only thing that really goes through your head is..."wow...this really sucks." And then you're gone.
"Smile Time"
Spike: Hello, big guy! Need another car. Afraid the last one ended up in the drink...
Angel: Spike...
Spike: Look at you.
Angel: Just turn around and walk away.
Spike: You're a--
Angel: Spike!
Spike: You're a bloody puppet! (Angel tackles Spike through the door and brawls with him) You're a wee, little puppet man!
"A Hole In The World"
Fred: Would you have loved me?
Wesley: I've loved you...since I've known you. No, that's not...I think maybe even before.
Fred: I'm so sorry.
Wesley: No, no, no.
Fred: (coughing) I need you to talk to my parents. They need to know I wasn't scared. That it was quick. Th-that I wasn't scared. Oh, God.
Wesley: You have to fight. You don't have to talk just concentrate on fighting. Just hold on.
Fred: I'm not scared. I'm not scared. I'm not scared. Please...Wesley...why can't I stay? (goes limp in his arms)
Wesley: Please. Please. (sobs. Fred's eyes turn blue. She twitches and throws Wesley off)
Illyria: (rises from behind the bed) This will do.
"Shells"
Wesley: If I were to help you find your way...you have to learn to change. You mustn't kill.
Illyria: You killed the Qwa'ha Xahn in defiance of your leader.
Wesley: He murdered the woman I love.
Illyria: And that made it just.
Wesley: No. It wasn't just. I'm probably the last man in the world to teach you what's right.
Illyria: But you will. If I abide, you will help me.
Wesley: Yes.
Illyria: Because I look like her?
Wesley: Yes.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief?
Wesley: 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?
"Underneath"
Lindsey: Not an apocalypse, the apocalypse. What'd you think, a gong was gonna sound? Time to jump on your horses and fight the big fight? Starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys. You're playing for the bad guys. Every day you sti behind your desk and you learn a little more to accept the world the way it is. Well, here's the rub...heroes don't do that. Heroes don't accept the world the way it is. They fight it.
Angel: You're saying everything we do...it's a distraction...to keep us busy from looking under the surface.
Lindsey: (snaps his fingers) Ding! We have a winner! The world keeps sliding towards entropy and degradation, and what do you do? You sit in your big chair, you sign your checks, just like the Senior Partners planned. The war's here, Angel. And you're already 2 soldiers down.
"Origin"
Connor: Anyway...I just wanted to say goodbye. I gotta go back to my life now.
Angel: Oh...do you really have to leave? I mean, right now?
Connor: I kinda think I should. I need to take care of my parents. This isn't their world. They really don't feel safe here. You gotta do what you can to protect your family. I learned that from my father.
"Time Bomb"
Illyria: Do you know what you were when I was young? You were the muck at our feet. We called you the ooze that eats itself. You were pretty at night. You sparkled, and you stank. You still stink of it!
Angel: Will you shut up for once?
Illyria: What?
Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occured to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?
"The Girl in Question"
Angel: I helped save the world, you know.
Spike: Like I haven't.
Angel: Yeah, but I've done it a lot more.
Spike: Oh, please.
Angel: Closed the Hellmouth.
Spike: I've done that.
Angel: Yeah, you wore a necklace. You know, I helped kill The Mayor and, uh, and Jasmine and--
Spike: Do those really count as savin' the world?
Angel: I stopped Acathla. That saved the world.
Spike: Buffy ran you through with a sword.
Angel: Yeah, but I made her do it. I signaled her with my eyes.
Spike: She killed you. I helped her! That one counts as mine.
"Power Play"
Angel: This isn't a keep-fightin'-the-good-fight kind of deal. Let's be clear. I'm talking about killing every...single...member of the Black Thorn. We don't walk away from that.
Lorne: Do we crawl away, at least?
Angel: We do this, the Senior Partners will rain their whole wrath. They'll make an example of us. I'm talking full-on hell, not the basic fire-and-brimstone kind we're used to.
Gunn: We know the drill.
Angel: No, you don't. 10-to-1, we're gone when the smoke clears. They will do everything in their power to destroy us. So...I need you to be sure. Power endures. We can't bring down the Senior Partners, but for one bright, shining moment, we can show them that they don't own us. You need to decide for yourselves if that's worth dying for. I can't order you to do this. I can't do it without you.
"Not Fade Away"
Gunn: Any word on Wes?
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.
Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.
Angel: Among other things.
Gunn: You take the 30,000 on the left.
Illyria: You're fading. You'll last 10 minutes at best.
Gunn: Then let's make it memorable.
Spike: In terms of a plan?
Angel: We fight.
Spike: Bit more specific.
Angel: Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon. Let's get to work.
