"I was...involved."

4.1 The Freshman
Buffy answers a ringing telephone.
Buffy: Hello? Hello?
There's nothing but silence, so she hangs up and leaves. – this is Angel calling from L.A. You see him in the first episode of Angel and you hear Buffy’s voice on the phone.

Buffy, feeling lonely, goes to The Bronze. While a slow song plays she looks around. She sees a man and thinks it’s Angel. Her face lights up with hope and then it turns to dissapointment and acceptance as the man turns and we see that it’s not Angel.

4.3 Harsh Light of Day
Willow : Almost. Buffy's looking at Parker. Who it turns out has a reflection, so big plus there.
Parker : You have a scar.
Buffy : Yeah ... right ... angry puppy. So, I get to see any of your scars?

Parker : No, I'm okay to talk about it now. And I'm not doing to deep, get sympathy routine. I mean don't you just hate guys that are all 'I'm dark and brooding so give me love?'
Buffy : I don't think I've ever met that type.

Spike : I wonder what went wrong. Were you too strong? Did you bruise the boy? Come to think of it seems like someone told me that. Who was it? Oh, yeah. Angel.

Giles : It's also very dangerous. And we're destroying it.
Buffy : We don't destroy it.
Giles : Well, Buffy, any vampire that gets his hand on this is going to be essentially unkillable. (He looks at Buffy for a moment.) Oh.
Oz : I have that gig in LA. I could swing by.
Buffy : Thanks Oz.
Xander : What's going on? What's in LA?
Willow : She's giving the ring to Angel. Don't make a fuss.
Giles : Buffy are you sure?
Buffy : He should have it.

Buffy : So what I'm wondering is, does this always happen? Sleep with a guy and he goes all evil. God, I'm such a fool.

[DELETED SCENE – thanks to Jane Espenson’s commentary and The Buffy Trivia Guide for the transcript]

Willow: Well, from what I understand, pretty much. But it won’t always be like that. You’ve just had some really bad luck.
Buffy: I don’t know, Will. Bad luck just happens. I made this happen.
Willow: Well, why shouldn’t you, if it’s what you want? I mean, as long as it’s safe. Oh, Buffy, it was safe, wasn’t it?
Buffy: It was safe. It’s not that. It’s the whole time, I kept thinking, hey, look at me with someone who isn’t Angel. Look how much I’m not hung up on Angel anymore. Look how this is not all about Angel. God, how come I didn’t see it?

4.4 Fear, Itself
Buffy swallows: I don’t know. I’m starting to feel like there is a pattern here. Open your heart to someone, and he bails on you. Maybe it’s easier to just not let anyone in.

4.6 Wild At Heart
Giles : You saved Willow.
Buffy : Right now she wishes I hadn't. Giles, I've never seen her like this. It's like it hurts too much to form words.
Giles : You've... You've felt that way yourself, and you got through it.
Buffy : Yeah. I ran away and went to hell and then got through it. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't use me as a model.

4.8 Pangs
*Angel is in this episode.*

4.9 Something Blue
Buffy: I know.. I have to get away from that bad boy thing. There's no good there. Seeing Angel in LA.. even for five minutes.. hello to the pain.

[Buffy feeding Spike some blood since he is tied up but looking disgusted]
Spike: I don't know why you're so dainty all of a sudden. You've done this for Angel - you must have.

Buffy: They all will. But you guys wern't crazy about Angel at first, either.
Spike: You weren't gonna say that name.
Buffy: Sorry. Why don't we talk about where we're going to register.
Spike: Well, where would Angel like to register? And can we have the photographer Angel would've wanted? And, flowers Angel would have liked?

4.10 Doomed
Buffy: Riley, I just... can’t.
Riley: Can’t talk?
Buffy: Can’t any of it. - I can’t be with you. - It’s just a huge, black pit of a mistake and I can’t go there again.
Riley: Again? You’ve dated me before?
Buffy: No! Look I was involved...You don’t know what my life is like.

Buffy: That I should just turn my frown upside down? Is that it? I wish I could. But this isn’t the kind of gig where you can just hang it up at the end of the night and snuggle with your honey.
Riley: But why? Why can’t it be?
Buffy: Because I’ve tried it, okay? And every time it just fell apart. And then I get sucked right back in to the Uber-evil.
Riley: I know that it’s not just a job thing. I’m sure that there is some good looking guy that done you wrong in there, too. But mostly I think you want to stay down in that dark place because maybe it’s safer down there.

4.14 Goodbye Iowa
Spike: Got to hand it to you goldilocks - you do have bleeding tragic taste in men.

Anya: And after everything you've been through with Angel. You really should get yourself a boring boyfriend.

4.15 This Year’s Girl
Buffy: No, I told him the story. I vagued up a few bits, but no flat-out lies.
Willow: That's fair. How'd you handle the Angel-y parts?
Buffy: I did some editing.

Faith: I could say the same about you. I mean, you're still the same better-than-thou Buffy. I mean, I knew it somehow. I kept having this dream, I'm not sure what it means, but in the dream the self-righteous blond chick stabs me, and you wanna know why?
Buffy: You had it coming.
Faith: That's one interpretation, but in my dream, she does it for a guy.

Faith: I wake up to find the blond chick isn't even dating the guy she was so nuts about before. I mean, she's moved on to the first college beefstick she meets. Not only has she forgotten about the love of her life, but she's forgotten about the chick she nearly killed for him. So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel. But tell me, college girl, what does it mean?”

Riley: Never seen anyone get under your skin this way before. What exactly did she do to you?
Buffy: It's a long story.
Riley: I'm from Iowa. We drive four hours for our High School football game. Try me.
Buffy: I told you, okay? She hurt me and people I care about. And did I mention the psycho killer part?
Riley: There's something you're not telling me.
Buffy: Riley, I have to go. She's out there.
Riley: Alright. I'm just saying. I think you're holding out on me.

Buffy: Going for the boyfriend again? That's tired.

4.19 New Moon Rising
Buffy: Yeah, well love isn't logical, Riley. It's not like you can be Mister Joe Sensible about it all the time. God knows I haven't been.

Buffy: There's different degrees of-
Riley: Evil?
Buffy: It's just... different with different demons. There are creatures - vampires, for example -- that aren't evil at all.
Riley: Name one.

4.20 The Yoko Factor
Riley: The sooner Buffy gets back, the better I'll feel.
Xander: You and me both, big guy.
Riley: I take it you're not an Angel fan either?
Xander: Well, it's not like I hate the guy. Just, you know . . the guts part of him.
Riley: Can't blame you. But to be fair, it's not him you hate. It's the curse…Right?
Xander: What did Buffy tell you?
Riley: On Angel? Everything. More than I wanted to know sometimes. She loved him. He turned evil. He, uh, killed people. She cured him. He left. Interesting little curse.
Xander: One moment's happiness.
Riley: What do you mean?
Xander: You know, it's his trigger. Angel's an okay guy if he's mopey and sad and brooding, but if you give him even one second of pure, real pleasure . . .
Riley: And that sets him off.
Xander: Only in the big ol "kill your friends" kind of way. And you know what makes Angel happiest? I'll give you a hint. It not creme brulee.
Riley: Buffy.
[Xander nods, makes a "bingo!" gesture. Riley thinks for a moment and it dawns on him.]
Riley: Sex (scoffs softly) with Buffy.
Xander: She . . . kind of left that part out, huh?
Riley: Yeah, she did. That explains a lot of things that . . I wish weren't explained.
Xander: Hey, man. That's all ancient history.
Riley: She went running to L.A. to bone up on her history.
Xander: No! I'm sure it's boneless. She just needs to make sure everything's okay. She's probably back already.
Riley: Maybe.

Riley: You okay?
Buffy: Yeah. I just-- Angel kind of upset me.
Riley: How?
Buffy: It's not that interesting.
Riley: Got my attention.
Buffy: He just spun my head a little.
Riley: You don't want to talk about it.
Buffy: It's just deconstructing Angel can wait. Right now, I just want to get out there and patrol and find Adam. We can talk about it . . later.

*Angel enters the episode here for 2 scenes. *

[after Angel leaves the episode:]
Riley: Buffy . . . I feel like we've gotten really close. At least I thought we had. I don't know much about Angel or your relationship with him . . but . . . all I ask is . . if you're gonna break heart, do it fast.
Buffy: What? You think that Angel and I . . .
Riley: Didn't you?
Buffy: No. Of course not. How can you even ask me that?
Riley: I don't know. Xander said…
Buffy: Xander?! Oh, he's the deadest man in Deadonia.
Riley: No. It's not his fault. I prodded and he explained how Angel went bad. The, uh, trigger.
Buffy: Oh.
Riley: And, uh, after that, I went a little nuts! You know? I mean . . . On the one hand . . I should believe in us. But on the other . . Sometimes things happen between exes and when I saw that he was bad. . .
Buffy: He's . . not bad.
Riley: Seriously? That's . . a good day? Well, there you go. Even when he's good he's all Mister . . Billowy Coat King of Pain and girls really…
Buffy: Riley, stop.

Xander: You didn't think I knew about that, did you? You two talking about me behind my back.
Buffy: Us talking about you? How about you telling Riley every last detail of my life with Angel?

"We don't belong to ourselves."

1.1 City Of
Angel Voice Over: "Los Angeles. You see it at night and it shines. Like a beacon. People are drawn to it. People and other things. They come for all sorts of reasons. My reason? No surprise there. It started with a girl.

Angel: She was a really, really pretty girl. No she, she was a hottie girl. She, she had - I mean - her hair was...You know?

Doyle: Yeah, well, it's a fairly dull tale. It needs a little sex, is my feeling. So sure enough: enter the girl. Pretty little blonde thing, Vampire Slayer by trade. And our vampire falls madly in love with her. Eventually the two of them, - well, they get fleshy with one another. Well, I guess the technical term is perfect happiness. But when our boy gets there, he goes bad again. He kills again. It's ugly. So when he gets his soul back for the second time, he figures hey, he can't be any where near miss young puppy eyes without endangering them both. So what does he do? He takes off. Goes to LA. To fight evil - and atone for his crimes. He's a shadow, - a faceless champion of the hapless human race.

Doyle: When was the last time you drank blood?" Angel whispers: "Buffy."

Angel sitting in his apartment staring at the phone. He picks it up and dials a number. Buffy's voice on the phone: "Hello? Hello?" Angel hangs up the phone.

1.3 In The Dark
Oz: I came primarily for a gig, but also to give you this. [Holds out a ring to him. ] Doyle: Wait a minute, is that what I think it is? [It's the gem of Amarra.] Oz: One and the same. Buffy wanted you to have it. Cordy: Hey, Buffy. How is good old Buffy anyway? Oz: She is... [Angel watching Oz for his response] Cordy: What? Still the brave little Slayer or is she moping around in the dark like - like nobody around here. Hm-mm. Oz: She is good. - She is Buffy.

Oz: Yeah. Your buddy Spike dug up Sunnydale looking for it. He got a fist full of Buffy and left it behind. She wanted to be sure it was in good hands. Angel: So she sent you? Oz: I was heading this way. Cordy: And she didn't even send a note? Wow. That's really... This is one of those times when I should just shy away from the topic, isn't it?

Cordy: Oh, yeah, Spike's nearly done Buffy in a few times. I mentioned that he's killed two Slayers already?

Marcus:He's known love. Spike: Yeah, and with a Slayer no less. How is that for perversion?

Spike: It's called addiction, Angel. We all have it. - I believe yours is named Slutty the Vampire Slayer. Speaking of little Buff, I ran into her recently. Your name didn't come up. Although she has been awful busy jumping the bones of the first lunk-head that came along. Good-looking fellow - used her shamelessly. She is cute when she is hurting, isn't she? Angel: I think she's cuter when she's kicking your ass.

Spike: Son of a bitch! I do the work, I do the digging, fight off a Slayer, drive to LA, fire the help, and what do I get? ROYALLY SCREWED, is what!

1.5 Room With A View
Cordy: I'm not a sniveling whiny cry-buffy.

1.7 Bachelor Party
[Doyle flipping through one of Angel's books and a picture of Buffy falls out of the book and Doyle picks it up.] Doyle: Wow. She is something. This an old squeeze of yours? Angel: Yeah. Doyle: Well, how does she feel about a man with an Irish accent? [Doyle realizes who the girl in the picture is] Buffy. Angel: Yeah. Doyle: I'm sorry...

At the end of the episode Doyle has a vision of Buffy fighting which we know means Angel will be going to help her.

1.8 I Will Remember You
Buffy is in this episode.

1.9 Hero Cordy: So what? Buffy blows into town and puts you into a permanent funk and I'm just supposed to stand by and watch our business go belly up?

Doyle: I guess seeing Buffy again just got him where he lives.

Doyle: Believe me I know. Last time I saw my ex, she was around for five minutes and I was a wreck for days. Amazing how they can do that to you. Angel: Buffy was here for more then five minutes. Doyle: Okay, 10, but who's counting? Angel: Actually she was here for a whole day and night.

Angel: The Oracles told me that I was released from my duty. Buffy and I were together until - we realized it couldn't be. We don't belong to ourselves. We belong to the world, fighting. So, I went back to the Oracles and I asked them to turn back the clock... as though that day had never happened. Doyle: Human. You were a real live flesh-and-blood human - and you and Buffy... You had the one thing you want most in your unnaturally long life and you gave it back?! Angel: Maybe I was wrong? Doyle: Or maybe Cordelia was right about you being the real deal in the hero department. See, I would have chosen the pleasures of the flesh over duty and honor any day of the week. I just don't have that strength. Angel: You never know your strength until you're tested. Doyle: Come on, you lived and loved and lost and fought and vanquished inside a day, and I'm still trying to work up the courage to ask Cordy out for dinner, not to mention the part about telling her that I'm half demon. That should probably come first, huh?

1.10 Parting Gifts
Wesley: Hardly. With Buffy unwilling to follow council orders there was simply no opportunity to function as Watcher. And that's why I became a rouge demon hunter.

1.11 Somnambulist
Wesley: I think you better sit down. While executing my duties as Watcher in Sunnydale, I did extensive research. Specifically on Angel, given his uncomfortable proximity to the Slayer. Cordy: He looked pretty comfortable to me.

Kate: [voice-over while watching Angel] It's unlikely that he'll be married though he may have recently come off a long-term relationship that ended badly. We look for a precipitating event in cases such as this, and a painful breakup is always at the top of the list. [Angel spots a blonde talking to some friends, her back to him that reminds him of Buffy.] Prior to failing, this relationship may have marked an inactive period in our suspect's life. He would have regarded it as a lifeline, his salvation, but once ended, it resulted in his recidivism.

1.17 Eternity
Wesley: Angel's moment of true happiness occurred because he was with Buffy. You realize how rare that is - true happiness?

1.18 5x5
Wesley: I meant Giles. Why didn't he give me the heads-up? I was Faith's Watcher. When she came out of the coma, Giles should have contacted me immediately. Cordy: Maybe he was busy trying to keep her from -I don't know- killing everybody? Angel: He didn't know she was coming after me. He was worried about Buffy. Cordy: Is she okay? Angel: Yeah.

Wesley: Seems you're taking this personally. Angel: Well, you know, she tried to shoot my own personal back, so yeah. Wesley: Did she do something to Buffy? Angel: Giles just said it was rough.

Faith: Did you ever wonder if things would have been different - if we'd never met. What if you'd had Buffy - and Giles would have been my Watcher?

1.19 Sanctuary
Lilah: I told you he wouldn't be easy. He can't be bought, and apparently he can't be killed - even by a vampire Slayer. Rumor has it he used to actually date one.

Faith: I've got to be the first Slayer in history sponsored by a vampire. Angel: Yeah, well, I've got some experience in that area, too. Faith: Oh god. B - how am I ever going to make things right with her? Angel: Faith, this isn't about Buffy. Faith: All my life there was only one person that tried to be my friend -went out of her way when I had no right or reason to expect her to - and I screwed her. Not to mention her boyfriend, only - him literally. Angel: Faith, you and I never actually... Faith: No, not you. The new one. [Angel stares for a moment then looks down] Oh, my god. Angel, I'm so sorry I... Angel: No, there. You *can* say it. That's good. [turns away to leave] Good. [Angel looks crushed]

Buffy enters the episode shortly after this.

"But the embrace...his bite...you remember?"

5.1 Buffy Vs. Dracula
Dracula:You have been tasted.
Buffy: He was…
Dracula:Unworthy. He let you go. But the embrace ... his bite ... you remember?
Buffy: No. (clearly lying)

Riley: No, that's okay. I shouldn't take this personally. I mean, what with Angel, I mean, it's understandable that there would be transference. I mean, they're both broody immortals.

5.4 Out of My Mind
Riley: I go back-let the government get whimsical with my innards again...They could do anything that- Best-case scenario, they turn me into Joe Normal,just...just another guy.
Buffy: And that's not enough for you
Riley: It's not enough for you.
Buffy: Why would you say that?
Riley: Come on. Your last boyfriend wasn't exactly a civilian.

5.8 Shadow
Spike: Okay, how about this one. Twice in recent memory, she's had the lover-wiccas do a de-invite on the house. Keep out specific vamps. Ever ask yourself why she's never taken my name off the guest list?
Riley: Because you're harmless.
Spike: Oh yeah, right. Takes one to know, I suppose. Least I still got the attitude. What do you got, a piercing glance? Face it, white bread. Buffy's got a type, and you're not it. She likes us dangerous, rough, occasionally bumpy in the forehead region. Not that she doesn't like you ...but sorry Charlie, you're just not dark enough.

Dawn: I'm really glad you're here.
Riley: Thanks.
Dawn: Buffy's glad too.
Riley: Yeah?
Dawn: She sure cries a lot less with you than she did with Angel.
Riley: Angel...made her cry a lot, huh?
Dawn: Everything with him was all..."eee", you know?
Riley: All...?
Dawn: You know ... "my boyfriend's a vampire" crazy crazy. Every day was like the end of the world. She doesn't get all worked up like that over you.

MORE COMING SOON!

"It's always some little blonde driving him over the edge."

2.5 Dear Boy
Angel: I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to - I-I've been so out of it - lately, because of her. - I saw her - here in town. Last night.
Cordy: Oh no, not again. Look, I like Buffy as much as the next...
Angel: Not Buffy, Darla.

Darla: But you can escape. You can escape it all. Remember what it was like to get lost, huh? Every thought a million miles away, every part of you being alive! All you have to do is let me give you one little moment of happiness.
Angel: You took me places, showed me things, huh? You blew the top off my head. But you never made me happy.
Darla: But that - that cheerleader did? We were together 150 years! We shared everything. You're saying - never?
Angel: You couldn't understand.
Darla: I understand alright. Guy gets taste of something fresh and he thinks he's touching God.
Angel: It wasn't about...
Darla: Oh, you bet your ass it was! There was a time, in the early years, when you would have said I was the definition of bliss! - Buffy wasn't happiness - She was just new!

2.6 Guise Will Be Guise
Magev: You need to get over her. - Okay, what does she look like?
Angel: She's beautiful. - Small, blonde...
Magev: Right. So here's what you do. You go out and find yourself some small, blonde thing. You bed her, you love her, you treat her like crap, you break her heart. You and your inner demon will thank me, I promise.
Angel: Uhm...

2.11 Redefinition
Cordy: Darla. It's all about Darla. One thing you can say about Angel -at least he's consistent. It's always some little blonde driving him over the edge.

2.22 There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
[Angel leading the gang into the lobby of the Hyperion.]
Angel: There's no place like...
[trails off as he sees Willow sitting in the lobby with a sad face]
Angel's smile vanishes.
Angel: Willow?
Cordy: What's..?
Willow stands up, she & Angel staring at each other.
Angel: It's Buffy.

COMING SOON!

"In all those years, no one ever mattered. Not like she did."

3.1 Heartthrob
Wesley: When Angel comes back...
Gunn: When is he coming back anyway?
Cordy: As soon as he works through his grief a little.
Gunn: A little? Buff...
Cordy: Don't! Say the "B" word.
Gunn: The "B" word was the love of his life, and he's, what? 250? That isn't a short life. That grief work is gonna take more than a vacation in Sri Lanka.
Wesley: It isn't a vacation. It's a spiritual retreat at a monastery.
Gunn: Hmm. Angel and a bunch of monks in the middle of nowhere. There's a party! He should have got hammered and went to Vegas just like I told him.
Wesley: He doesn't need a lap dance. He needs some peace and quiet to work through this.

Cordy: Actually, it is my business, our business, because we're trying to do a job here, and what affects you affects me, and - anyway, I don't like to see you suffer more than you have to. I don't think you should blame yourself, or feel guilty for her death.
Angel: I don't.
Cordy: Good. Glad to hear it.
Angel: I didn't even know who she was when I killed her.
Cordy: Not her! - Angel...
Angel: Oh... you - you want to talk about...
Cordy: She was the love of your life and she died. And - you weren't there when it happened. You couldn't help her fight. You couldn't save her. - You couldn't die with her.
Cordy: This is gonna be one of those talks where I do all the talking, isn't it?

Cordy: He has changed. A lot. He has a soul now and he cares about people.
James: So you might feel something when I snap her neck.
Cordy: Well, it's not like he's losing sleep with the caring.
James: Lucky me. Now I can kill the woman you love.
Angel: No, you can't.
James: Are you forgetting who's the invincible one here?
Angel: The woman I love - is dead.
James: Who are you talking about?
Cordy: It happened about three months ago. We try not to say her name too much.
James: You loved someone - with all your heart?
Angel: Yeah.
James: No you didn't. Because if you had you wouldn't be standing here playing games with me. You wouldn't be able to - because once she died or some bastard killed her, it would have killed everything in you.
Angel: I wouldn't be able to go on living.
James: Don't worry, you won't. And she won't either.

Cordy: And how about you?
Angel: I'm o...
Cordy: And don't say "okay". Angel, please. I know you. Ever since you've come back from your grief trip I can tell that something's not right. And, and obviously it's not. - Buffy's dead, and I don't mean to diminish that. I miss her too. - I just wanna say - I know that James with all his Romeo and Juliet madness, opened up a lot of wounds for you, but you'll be okay.
Angel: I am okay.
Cordy: Then - what's the problem?
Angel: That I'm okay. That losing Buffy didn't kill me. That I could deal with it. In all those years - no one ever mattered. Not like she did. And now she's gone - forever.
Cordy: And you're still here.
Angel: Yeah. I just feel like I'm betraying her somehow.
Cordy: No! If you were a loser, if you were some sick obsessed vampire, you'd go to a Snod demon, or whatever, and get your heart cut out. But you're not! You're a living, breathing... Well, living, anyway - good guy, whose still fighting and trying to help people, and that's not betraying her, that's honoring her.
Angel: You think?
Cordy: I'm Cordelia. I don't think. I know. Okay?

3.4 Carpe Noctem
Cordy: Angel, Willow's on the phone... She's alive! Buffy's alive!
[Angel jumps up and runs into the hotel.]
Fred: Buffy?

3.5 Fredless
Fred: So - now that she's alive again, are they gonna get back together? Angel and that girl with the goofy name?
Wes: Well Fred - that's a difficult question. I think it's fair to say - no. Not a chance, never, no way, not in a million years, and also "nuh-uh."
Fred: But you said he loved her. And of course she's gonna love him back, because he's so strong and handsome and he really listens when you talk. I-I mean, if you go for that sort of thing, why wouldn't it work?
Cordy: Let me break it down for you, Fred.
[Cordy pretends to be Buffy]
Cordy: Oh - Angel! I know that I'm a Slayer and you a vampire - and it would be impossible for us to be together - but!
[Wes pretends to be Angel]
Wes: But! My gypsy curse sometimes prevents me from seeing the truth. Oh, Buffy!
Cordy: Yes, Angel?
Wes: Oh, I love you so much I almost forgot to brood!
Cordy: And just because I sent you to hell that one time doesn't mean that we can't just be friends.
[Wes pulls Cordy close.]
Wes: Or possibly more.
Cordy: Gasp! No! We mustn't.
Wes: Kiss me.
Cordy: Bite me!
[Wes bends Cordy back over his arm and pretends to sink his fangs into her neck.] Angel(off screen): How about you both bite me.
Fred: You're back!
Gunn: How'd it go?
Angel: I think those two pretty much summed it up. To be honest - I really don't wanna talk about it.
Cordy: But... ah, Angel - we're your friends and, and it-it's not healthy to repress stuff like this.You-you need to share your - pain, express those feelings of grief and longing or... The curiosity is gonna kill me!
Angel: Oh, no. Wouldn't want that.

3.7 Offspring
Gunn: Angel's old flame from way back.
Fred: Not the one that died?
Gunn: Yeah. No, not that one. The other one that died and came back to life. She's a vampire.
Fred: Y'all have a chart or something?

3.13 Waiting In The Wings Lorne: You're a man of many limitations, Angel. But you're a man. You got a heart. And Cordelia is a hell of a lady. I mean, if I thought she'd like to wear green, I'd be elbowing you out of the way. But she's out of my league. She's a champion, Angel, old school. And besides, we all know you got a thing for ex-cheerleaders.

3.14 Couplet
Angel: I'm fine. I've been a solo-act most of my two hundred fourty plus years. And when I wasn't? Never turned out well. I like being alone.

3.15 Loyalty
Wes: Love can be a terrible thing. Angel: I used to think that. I thought love was - something that swallowed you whole, ripped you up inside, but, you know, what I feel for Connor, even that fear... - Wes, it's - it's not terrible. (looking at his infant son) It's beautiful.

3.18 The Price
Angel: Don't know why I bought this for him. A whim, I guess... Thought he'd like to look at it. The snow. Doesn't ever snow in Southern California.
Cordelia: Did once.

3.21 Tomorrow
Angel: Well, someone has to make sure he knows the facts of life. My track record with the whole man/woman thing isn't, you know... I don't wanna use the words 'tragic farce' but...
Cordy: Why not? You're still telling him.

"I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life!"

COMING SOON!

"That slayer. She's a pistol."

4.1 Deep Down
Angel: What you did to me - was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective.

4.6 Spin The Bottle
Wesley: There are stories at the Watcher's Academy of a test. A secret gauntlet which only the most cunning can survive. You're locked in a house with a vicious, deadly vampire, and you have to kill him before he kills you. It's been done in the past with slayers.
Fred: Slayer? The band?

4.9 Long Day’s Journey
Lorne: And you may not find perfect happiness with Cordelia, but Angel food, you gotta remember, there's other fish in the sea.

4.10 Awakening
As Angel is dreaming he’s making love to Cordelia he suddenly reacts as if he’s losing his soul and gasps "Buffy?"

4.11 Souless
Wesley: Have to forgive the accommodations. The last time you were free, you terrorized Sunnydale.
Angelus: That slayer—she's a pistol.

4.13 Salvage
Random Vampire: The slayer? You sure?
2nd Random Vampire: I just got word. She's in town.

Angelus on a pay phone: Hi, Dawn. Yeah, it's me. Is your sister home? She is. (hangs up) It's the other one.

Cordelia: A weakness for slayers? You're definitely his son.

4.15 Orpheus
Willow: Aw, don't mention it. I got a slayer out of the deal, so we're even-steven. I'll tell Buffy you said hi.
Angel: Good. Thanks.

4.22 Home
Lilah: Maybe. While you've been namby-pambying around for the past 90 seconds, 6 innocent people have died. Oh, but don't worry. There's always 6,000 more just around the corner or up the coast.
Angel: Sunnydale.
Lilah: That nifty, little bauble comes with the file. Apparently, it's crucial for some kind of final battle. Guess they're in short supply up Sunnydale way. A bit gauche for my taste, but, hey, not a slayer.
Angel: Buffy can handle herself.
Lilah: But isn't it more fun when you handle her?
[at the end of the episode Angel takes the file w/ amulet from Lilah]

"Ours is a forever love."
