come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Wesley to Angel: I wouldn't presume to know what Illyria wants. But I understand the resource, the power she represents. from Timebomb (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
WESLEY: I didn't send her. We were discussing Gunn. I explained his situation, our inability to get him out. She nodded, created a portal, and disappeared.
ANGEL: So she's just, what, helping you out? She's your little helper.
WESLEY: I would hardly call her--
ANGEL: Well, she sure was helpful beatin' me up. Wes, do you have any idea why she's doing all this for you?
WESLEY: Does it matter? She may be able to get him out.
ANGEL: Or she might get him killed. It doesn't track, Wes. Why would she take on any risk for us?
WESLEY: I doubt this poses a risk to her. She has the power of a god.
ANGEL: She has the ego of a god.
WESLEY: She was ruler of the world, after all. This sort of thing goes to one's head.
ANGEL: Apparently.
WESLEY: I am making progress. There is distance, of course. She would never accept any of us as peers. But... I afford her some amusement at the very least. It may be why she's still here.
ANGEL: She's still here because this place reeks of influence. She had everything, Wes. Everything. You think she's not lookin' to get that back?
WESLEY: I wouldn't presume to know what she wants. But I understand the resource, the power she represents. If we could just find some way to integrate her, to convince her to--
ANGEL: To do what? Join the team?
(A portal appears in Angel's office, and Illyria brings Gunn through it, pushing him to the floor at her feet. )
ANGEL: Gunn.
WESLEY: Illyria.
(she grabs Gunn by the throat and lifts him into the air)
ILLYRIA: This thing...
ANGEL: Let him go.
ILLYRIA: It's important to you.
WESLEY: Illyria, stop.
ILLYRIA: It holds value. Worth beyond price.
ANGEL: (angrily) I said, let him--
WESLEY: (signals Angel to let him try) Yes, great worth. A great debt. You're talking of the debt, aren't you... of what we owe you?
(Illyria drops Gunn)
ILLYRIA: Of what you owe me.
(she walks out of the office)
ANGEL: Go team.
