Quotes[]
- Xander Harris: Are you ready to get down, you funky party weasel?
....
- Angel: My people - before I was changed - they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship; the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody. Like this.
....
- Angel: Still, not every dream you have comes true. I mean, what else did you dream last night? Can you remember?
- Buffy Summers: I dreamt... I dreamt that Giles and I opened an office supply warehouse in Vegas.
- Angel: See my point?
....
- Angel: You still haven't told me what you wanted for your birthday.
- Buffy Summers: Surprise me.
- Angel: Okay. I will.
- Buffy Summers: This is nice. I like seeing you first thing in the morning.
- Angel: It's bedtime for me.
- Buffy Summers: Well, then I like seeing you at bedtime. Um... Um, heh... Y-you know what I mean.
- Angel: I think so. What do you mean?
- Buffy Summers: I like seeing you. The part at the end of the night where we say goodbye... It's getting harder.
- Angel: Yeah. It is.
....
- Spike: You might give him a chance to find your lost treasure. He is a wanker, but he's the only one we've got with half a brain. If he fails, you can eat his eyes out of the sockets for all I care.
