C: Demons, Demons, Demons. Wow. They put a lot of thought into *that* title.
W: It's a demon database. What would you call it?
C: I don't know. How 'bout . . . Demon Database?
W: Ah. A name rife with single entendre.

C: Why isn't Wolfram & Hart in here?
W: Because they're lawyers, not demons?
C: Fine line, you ask me.

C: Someone oughta create a Intra-Demon Dating Base. You know, like ArchFiend.org -- Where the lonely and the slimy connect.

A: Mind if I play, Ernie?
E: It's invitation only.
A: Then invite me. It's a been a while since I've played, so I might be a little rusty on the rules. But I think my Jacks ::tosses pictures of Jack on the table:: beat your pair.

E: Jack doesn't have any friends. Just people he doesn't owe.

C: Okay, I'm in. What did Darren write down about the demons that took his brother?
W: Bald. Ultra-white skin. Slime.

Along with a few other things.

D: Trepkos, you're the main event. You'll go against Malish.

J: How 'bout Captain America, here?

W: Where is he?
E: Your boss? Gave me $200 to answer his questions. I'm a businessman. Make an offer.

C: Sir, Madam. I'm Detective Andrews, this is Detective . . . Yelsew.

W: Something's going down tonight! Something with The Man!

A: That wasn't the first life I've taken -- or the twenty-first.

C: We've got to get Angel out of there.
W: I know. But to do that, we have to get him out of those wrist cuffs. No mean feat, they were forged by ancient sorcerers.
C: So get an ancient key.

W: I may be able to make one myself -- if I could get my hands on one of those cuffs, which isn't going to be easy . . . unless you happened to procure one while I wasn't looking.

J: Well, that was the most exciting match I've ever seen. My favorite part was when you stuck Baker with the knife. Kind of put a damper on the whole brotherhood spiel.

A: Someone needs to put you in your place. You . . . and your brother.
J: Someone may. Someday. But not you. And not today.
A: Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today?

D: Let him go.
A: Soon as you let us go.
D: Who do you think you are, Moses?

A: He's your brother.
D (shoots): Now he's my dead brother.

L: How do you feel?
A: Like I was hit by lightning after the truck ran me over.

A: You're a fight fan. And a lawyer. Let me guess -- Wolfram & Hart.

L: There's not one reason why we can't work together.
A: You're right. . . . there are about a thousand.

C: You'd think people would get enough gratuitous violence watching Jerry Springer.

C: You've been concentrating all night.

W: I need to see Angel. Tall fellow. Prominent brow.
Cr: Yeah, he's dead.
W: Dead?
Cr: About 20 seconds, he will be. He's fighting Trepkos and who the hell are you?

Cr: Gimme your wrist . . . loser.

Trepkos: It was a good fight.
A (nearly collapses): I coulda taken ya.

C: Angel, you don't look so . . . well it's a good thing you heal fast.
A: It's also a good thing you guys found me in time.
C: We weren't going to let anything happen to you. Well, I mean beyond the slavery and the severe beatings and stuff.

C: Wesley came up with the key!
W: But Cordelia came up with the key to the key in a clinch moment.
A: You both did great. And I think we did a good thing here.
W: Yes. We set the captives free.
C: Well, actually, didn't we set a bunch of demons free?
W: Ah well, technically. . . yes.
