Quotes[]
- Angel: Don't be stupid. I'm that guy and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is making eyes at me? It's either a bachelor party or a scam.
- Cordelia Chase: What did you call me?
- Angel: I'm sorry. You're not stupid.
- Cordelia Chase: No, after that?
....
- Angel: Oh yeah. I saw their production of Giselle in 1890. Cried like a baby. And I was evil!
....
- Charles Gunn: That would also explain the precision, and the athleticism. I mean, some of those jumps... You know, I was cool before I met y'all.
....
- Cordelia Chase: Up to his ass in demon gore, fine, but ask him to mack on a hottie and he wigs. My champion, ladies and gentlemen.
....
- Winifred Burkle: That's impossible! We're watching the exact same troupe you saw in 1990?
- Charles Gunn: Uh, I think he said 1890.
- Winifred Burkle: Oh. Okay, that's much more impossible.
....
- Cordelia Chase: So! What's up with you? Hey, you went with the dark colors today! It's a look.
- Angel: Ask me why I'm smiling.
- Cordelia Chase: I will because it's scaring me.
....
- Angel: Back in the day, I'd always get box seats... or eat the people who had 'em.
- Cordelia Chase: Don't let's reminisce. We're here. Enjoy.
