Lindsey to Angel: Who is this? I came to fight the vampire with a soul. Guess you shouldn't have sold it, huh? from You're Welcome (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
LINDSEY: (looking at the device) Bye-bye, Angel.
ANGEL: (arriving) Hello, Lindsey.
LINDSEY: And the hero arrives right on schedule. And with a date.
CORDELIA: Yeah. Dinner and a show... and you're both.
LINDSEY: Is this the part where I get all weak in the knees? Promise I'll never do it again?
ANGEL: It's a little late for that, Doyle.
LINDSEY: There's always time for redemption. Isn't that your whole thing?
ANGEL: You had your chance. I guess some people, they just never change.
(Angel starts to throw a punch, but Lindsey easily tosses him across the room)
LINDSEY: I did.
(fade to black and resume)
LINDSEY: You just gonna lay there and bleed?
ANGEL: Cordy, get out of here.
LINDSEY: No.
(he points to the door behind Cordelia, causing it to close behind her)
LINDSEY: Hang out. This won't take long.
(he pulls his pocketknife out of his back pocket)
CORDELIA: Angel!
(she throws Angel the samurai sword)
LINDSEY: Oh. Well, it's not the size that matters, big guy.
(he transforms the pocketknife into a hefty sword, grins)
LINDSEY: It's how you use it.
ANGEL: Shut it down.
LINDSEY: Say please.
ANGEL: I wasn't talking to you.
CORDELIA: Oh, right. On it.
ANGEL: (to Lindsey) So go and get yourself a little mojo? Should never have come back, Lindsey.
LINDSEY: What can I say? I missed you.
(they sword fight)
CORDELIA: (at the control panel) OK, let's try the blue one.
(she presses a button, but gets shocked)
CORDELIA: Ow! OK, not the blue one.
(Angel & Lindsey are still fighting)
LINDSEY: Little something I picked up in Nepal. You like it?
ANGEL: They sell that crap at the airport.
LINDSEY: You know, all my carefully laid out plans, my designs, when you get right down to it, that was pretty sweet, too, huh? Reason enough for me to come back. You, me... fight to the death... Yours.
ANGEL: I've seen your tough act before, squirt. First time we ever met, you put on a show. Huffing and puffing, telling me I couldn't lay a hand on your scumbag client.
LINDSEY: So you kicked him out a window.
ANGEL: Good times.
LINDSEY: It was a defining moment. Kind of like this one.
(the tank is showing signs of life)
CORDELIA: Oh, crap.
(...)
ANGEL: That must have stung.
LINDSEY: Worse then when you cut off my hand.
(they continue to fight. Lindsey stabs Angel through the chest with his sword)
CORDELIA: Angel!
LINDSEY: (gloating) Who is this? Who is this? I came to fight the vampire with a soul. Guess you shouldn't have sold it, huh? Look at you, from champion to pathetic corporate puppet in just a few months. You used to have fire in your heart. Now all you got in there is that big honkin' sword. How's that feel, champ?
ANGEL: Could be worse...
(he pulls the sword out of his chest)
ANGEL: if it had been made out of wood, you dumbass.
(they go in hand-to-hand)
CORDELIA: (to the control panel) Now you are gonna give it up.
(she finds the mechanism that allows her to remove the crystal Lindsey inserted earlier. The machine/tank starts to power down)
CORDELIA: Like that was so hard.
LINDSEY: No!
ANGEL: All those tattoos, all those new tricks you've learned... (knocks Lindsey down) just don't matter. Doesn't matter what you try. Doesn't matter where I am or how badass you think you've become. 'Cause you know what? I'm Angel.
(he throws Lindsey across the room; Lindsey lands against the wall)
ANGEL: I beat the bad guys.
CORDELIA: You OK?
ANGEL: I've been worse.
LINDSEY: So what now, huh? Think you got it in you to kill me?
ANGEL: I really don't think I have to.
CORDELIA: Sweetie, your epidermis is showing.
(Lindsey looks at his tattoos. They float up off of his skin and vanish into thin air, leaving him unmarked and thus unprotected. cut to the spellcasting upstairs)
WESLEY: Fabula mundi, sanguis incesti, vincula solve, invisa revela. I think I can feel it working.
(Fred appears suddenly attracted to Wes. Cut back to the basement. )
LINDSEY: Damn!
(There's a flashing light and whirlwind appearing above them.)
ANGEL: I think the senior partners would like a word.
LINDSEY: You don't think they're angry, do you? (chuckles nervously)
(Lindsey is sucked into the air into the portal, which closes behind him.)
