Quotes

Lilah: Do you have any idea what this thing wants?
Connor: Everybody dead.

Gunn: So what's it say about the Big Bad Wolf if he can just stride right in and suck the energy out of Evil Red Riding Hood?

Lilah: Tell him to stop whining and make a report.

Cordelia: I'm just glad everyone is back together.
Angel: Me too. Now take your new boyfriend and get out of here.

Lilah: Funny thing about black and white: you mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Angel: The only way to kill a zombie is to stop its brain activity. Cut off it's head, smash it's skull... luckily, they're slow and stupid so we have a decent chance of beating them... Unless, of course, there's hundreds of 'em.

Wesley: (On the Beast in Wolfram & Hart) It's killing everything that moves in there.
Gunn: I've heard worse news.

Gunn: I don't remember seeing him that down after a fight.

Angel: Gavin is a zombie. It's an undead thing.
Connor: Like you?
Angel: No! Zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh.
Connor: Like you.

Lilah: What are you more afraid of, a murderous demon or me?
Gavin: Be right back.

Angel: Cordelia, I don't want you there. It's too dangerous, way too dangerous. I can't risk it. Fred! Get a move on.
