Doyle - der Ire
mit einer Schwäche für Pubs und Glücksspiele - ist immer für
einen witzigen Spruch gut. Aber im Laufe der Zeit zeigt sich, daß mehr
in ihm steckt.
"I like the place. I mean it's not much with the view, but it has a nice bat-cave sort of an air to it."
"Once upon a time there was a vampire. And he was the meanest vampire in all the land. All the other vampires were afraid of him, he was such a - bastard. Then one day he's cursed - by gypsies. They restore his human soul. And all of a sudden he is mad with guilt. You know: 'What have I done?' You know, he's freaked. Yeah, well, it's a fairly dull tale. It needs a little sex, is my feeling. So sure enough: enter the girl. Pretty little blonde thing, Vampire Slayer by trade. And our vampire falls madly in love with her. Eventually the two of them, - well, they get fleshy with one another. Well, I guess the technical term is perfect happiness. But when our boy gets there, he goes bad again. He kills again. It's ugly. So when he gets his soul back for the second time, he figures hey, he can't be any where near Miss young puppy eyes without endangering them both. So what does he do? He takes off. Goes to LA. To fight evil - and atone for his crimes. He's a shadow, - a faceless champion of the hapless human race. - Say you wouldn't have a beer of any kind in here, would you?"
"It's not all about fighting and gadgets and stuff. It's about reaching out to people, showing them that there's love and hope still left in the world. (Homeless lady comes up and asks him for some change. To Lady) Get a job, you lazy sow. (to Angel) It's about letting them into your heart. It's not about saving lives; it's about saving souls. Hey, possibly your own in the process."
"I'm not combat
ready. I'm just the messenger!"
"It's obviously
not a butterfly, you idiot. It's a - a bird. No, no, wait, it's an owl. A -
a bird that hunts at night. Brilliant! It's a- a …"
"You got a real
addiction to the brooding part of life."
"Don't you worry.
When Angel is finished with this case I can guarantee you'll be wanting to jump
off a bridge again."
"It's all about money. What about friendship and family all those things that are priceless, like they say in those credit card commercial? (Demon looks at him) Oh, yeah right. You're a demon of focus. I can see that."
"Angel Investigations. We hope you're hopeless."
"There's a girl upstairs who's not quite sad enough to cry in may arms, but keep up the dark cloud. I might get lucky."
"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 that will go all the way, 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?"
"Hey. Is this a private catharsis or can anyone watch?"
"One of us has been drinking and I'm sad to say, it's not me."
"The good fight, yeah? - You never know until you've been tested. - I get that now."
"Too bad we'll never know (Morphs into his demons face) if this is a face you could learn to love."
