DOYLE: I wish you'd just let me call my guy.

CORDELIA: I’m not getting an apartment through “some guy”. He probably judges the property value on how far the bus ride is to the track.

DOYLE: Well, it can’t get any worse then this, can it?

CORDELIA: You can’t tell anything from the hallway.

DOYLE: Hey, you’re right. You know what I smell in here? Potential.

CORDELIA: The next one'll be better.

(…later…)

GUY: It’s like a community, you know? We share all the upkeep and chores.

CORDELIA: (to Doyle) Oh, my urination just hasn’t been public enough lately.

GUY: Oh, we don’t believe in barriers. It’s the first rule of the great leader. Ah, you can come to the meetings if you want. Every morning at 5:00.

CORDELIA: Okay, that’s just a touch too early for me.

GUY: Oh, you’ll be up. The Chanting starts at 4:00.

(…later…)

BIG GUY: So, you’re a single gal – gonna be living here alone? Because I’m right across the hall and you can sleep easy knowing that I’m the only other soul in the world with a key to that door. You think about that while you look, okay?

CORDELIA: (to Doyle) Okay, just out of curiosity, you said you know a guy?

DOYLE: Finally. What is it with you and Angel? You gotta do everything the hard way.

(…later…)

CORDELIA: Oh, my gosh. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

DOYLE: No, never.

CORDELIA: It’s perfect! Really, really, it’s just – perfect. It’s amazing in there. (To Lady) What’s wrong with it?

LADY: There’s nothing wrong with it. The previous tenant just broke their lease last week. I don’t know how you even heard about it. It’s quite a bargain, and the furniture comes with. Do you think you want it?

CORDELIA: I – I used to have this. I – I was…

LADY: I guess it’s your lucky day.

CORDELIA: I used to have those, too.

DOYLE: She’ll take it.

LADY: I’ll fill out the rental forms. (exits)

CORDELIA: First thing I hire someone to take out that wall.

DOYLE: I though you said it was perfect.

CORDELIA: Yes, and part of being perfect is that there being one tiny flaw for me to fix.

DOYLE: Ah, must be why you find me so fascinating.

CORDELIA: Oh my gosh, I love my apartment. Your guy found the perfect place. (Hugs Doyle) I love your guy!

DOYLE: Yeah, well, it’s a pretty good day’s work for us, I think. I take care of your problem; Angel takes care of mine. All in all, things are pretty sweet.

CORDELIA: Yes! I can move right in.
