come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Doyle: The good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested. I get that now. from Hero (Season 1) |
ANGEL: We have to shove off now.
CORDELIA: What's going on?
CAPTAIN: We can't! I can't find my first mate!
ANGEL: You won't. We're going. Get to the bridge.
DOYLE: They're here.
(The Scourge is pulling up on the pier in trucks and on motorcycles.)
DOYLE: Angel.
ANGEL: Get below. Lock the doors.
DOYLE: What?
ANGEL: Move! Now! Stay with the others.
DOYLE: (to Lister demons) Lock the hatches! The Scourge is here! We're shoving off. We're gonna make it.
(outside)
COMMANDER TRASK: You lied to us, half-breed.
ANGEL: You catch on quick, football-head.
COMMANDER TRASK: (to minions) Kill him. Painfully.
(Angel fights the minions, then the commander; they end up inside, with the beacon device powering up)
ANGEL: It's gonna detonate. Get out! Everybody out, now!
COMMANDER TRASK: Welcome to a cleaner world. Soon only the pure will be left standing.
ANGEL: Actually, pure boy, you'll be on your ass.
(Angel breaks his neck and drops him)
DOYLE: Ahh! Locked from the outside! We're trapped! (re: beacon device) What does this thing do?
ANGEL: Its light kills anything with human blood.
DOYLE: Well, it's getting brighter and that doohickey - it's fully armed, isn't it?
ANGEL: Almost. If I pull the cables I think I can still shut it off.
DOYLE: How're you gonna do that without touching the light?
CORDELIA: Angel, it's suicide.
DOYLE: There's got to be another way.
ANGEL: It's all right.
CORDELIA: No!
DOYLE: The good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested. I get that now.
(Doyle hauls back and hits Angel with a hard right to the chin, knocking him down into the cargo hold. Doyle turns to Cordy and kisses her. There is a strange blue light between their lips just before they part.)
DOYLE: Too bad we'll never know (Morphs into his demons face) if this is a face you could learn to love.
ANGEL: Doyle. Doyle. Doyle! Doyle! No!
(Doyle jumps over to the beacon just before Angel reaches the platform. He grabs a hold of its metal frame, turns his head and smiles at Angel and Cordy. )
ANGEL: No!
(Doyle manages to pull the plug just before incinerating. Angel & Cordy hug. Cut to Angel and Cordy sadly watching the videotape of the commercial Doyle did at the beginning of the episode.)
DOYLE: If you need help. Then look no further. Angel Investigations is the best! Our rats are low.
CORDELIA: Rates!
DOYLE: It says 'rats'. Our rates are low, but our standards are high. When the chips are down, and you're at the end of your rope, you need someone that you can count on. And that's what you'll find here - someone who'll go all the way, who'll protect you, no matter what. So don't lose hope. Come on over to our offices and you'll see that there's still heroes in this world. Is that it? Am I done?
