come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Wesley to Angel: You're like one of these rare volumes. One of a kind. from Couplet (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Angel and Wes are entering the rare books shop.)
ANGEL: I don't know. Maybe they should just do it, you know? Get it over with.
WESLEY: I'm sorry?
ANGEL: Cordy and Groo. She's being all noble for the good of the team. She should just make it with the com-shuck. That's what she wants.
WESLEY: Oh.
PROPRIETOR: May I help you?
WESLEY: Yes. I phoned earlier about Grammaticus Third Century Greek Commentaries.
PROPRIETOR: Of course. The G.T.C.G.C. I'll be just one moment.
WESLEY: Thank you.
ANGEL: I mean, why not? You know, life is short. Okay, not mine, but, you know, most people's. And if Groo does it for her, she should go for it. Make him happy. Make her happy. (to himself) Make everybody happy.
WESLEY: But still - office romance - complicates things. What if they should have a row, or break up?
ANGEL: All of us fight with each other at some point. It's not like anybody else is having a romance. I don't see it changing things much.
WESLEY: Well - she said it herself. It could risk the visions.
ANGEL: Okay. So the visions pass to Groo. He gets them instead of her. So what?
WESLEY: Are you suggesting Groosalug could replace Cordelia?
ANGEL: Maybe not Cordelia.
WESLEY: I see. You think he could replace you.
ANGEL: I don't know. Seems to me, here is a guy who can do everything I can - and a few things I can't.
WESLEY: That's not true.
ANGEL: You saw what happened this afternoon. If Groo hadn't been there...
WESLEY: Then the rest of us would have. - Angel, - you're the reason we've all come together. It's your mission which animates us. We each contribute, it's true, but you - you're unique. (Indicates the shelves) You're like one of these rare volumes. One of a kind.
(Angel smiles ever so slightly. The proprietor walks through in between them, carrying three old books.)
PROPRIETOR: I've got three of them.
(Angel's smile fades )
