Angel
BEST MOMENTS THROUGHOUT 5 SEASONS OF ANGEL THE SERIES
Some of these aren't just the one quote I put, mostly the whole episode, really. But I tried to pick my favorite, or most essential one, for me at least.
Spike: How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing? No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I’m just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. (Rachel steps closer to Angel, and Angel steps back warding her off with his hands) No, not the hair! Never the hair! But there must be someway I can show my appreciation. No, helping those in need’s my job, - and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough! I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so… Say no more. Evil’s still afoot! And I’m almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!
Cordelia: Why didn't you tell me you were half-demon? I thought we agreed secrets are bad.
Doyle: I wanted to tell you. I was afraid and I thought you might reject me.
Cordelia: I rejected you way before now. So you're half-demon, big whoop! I can't believe you'd think I'd even care about that! I mean, I work for a vampire! Hello!
Doyle: It’s true. I just -
Cordelia: What do you think I am, superficial? I mean you are half demon, that is so far down on the list. Way under “short” and “poor.”
Darla: Your victory over him took but moments.
Angelus: Yes.
Darla: But his defeat of you will last lifetimes.
Angelus: What are you talking about? He can't defeat me now.
Darla: Nor can he ever approve of you...in this world, or any other. What we once were informs all that we have become. The same love will infect our hearts, even if they no longer beat. Simple death won't change that.
Angelus: Love? Is this the work of love?
Darla: See? No matter how good a boy you are, God doesn't want you - but I still do.
Darla: What did you bring back, Lindsey? What am I? did you bring back that girl who's name I can't remember or did you bring back something else, the other thing?
Lindsey: Both. Neither. You're just you... whatever that is.
Darla: Why haven't you kissed me. You've been dying for it haven't you?
Lindsey: I didn't know if you wanted me to.
Darla: Why should that matter? Do you think I ever hesitated when I wanted something? Life's too short. Believe me I know. 400 years and still too short.
Darla: Maybe this is my second chance?
Angel: To die?
Darla: Yes to die. The way I was supposed to die in the first place.
Angel: I'm not gonna let you. Every moment you have left, I'm gonna be by your side. You're never gonna be alone again.
Lilah: For God's sake, help us!
Holland: Angel, please. People are going to die!
Angel: And yet somehow, I just can't seem to care.
Angel: You're gonna be okay.
Darla: No. No, I don't think so. Once he's gone, I won't be okay. I won't be okay at all. - I don't know what I'll be. - Angel... Our baby is gonna die right here in this alley. - You died in an alley, remember?
Angel: I remember.
Darla: I wanna say I'm sorry. I wanna say it and mean it, but - I can't. - Aren't you gonna tell me it's okay?
Angel: No.
Darla: No? It's really not, is it? We did so many terrible things together. So much destruction, so much - pain. - We can't make up for any of it. You know that, don't you. This child - Angel, it's the one good thing we ever did together.
especially the ballet scenes
Wesley: So what are we thinking, vampires?
Cordelia: Well, they're not a deeply tanned bunch.
Gunn: That would explain the precision and the athleticism. I mean, some of those jumps were... You know, I was cool before I met y'all.
everything by angelus, really
Angelus: Yeah, let’s talk about Cordy, shall we? Now there’s a rack to write home about. Too bad about her personality, though. Yap. Yap. Yap. Yap.
the whole fight between angel & angelus
Angelus: It’s no big mystery. They suffer, they die. That’s what they’re there for.
Angel: I’m not perfect, Faith. Even with a soul I’ve done things I’ve wished a thousand times I could take back.
Angelus: Yeah, like those Manilow concerts, you son of a bitch!
Angel: What is your problem?
Spike: You are, ya ponce! You're my problem. You got it too good. You're king of a 30-floor castle, with all the cars, comfort, power, and glory you could ever want, and here I save the world, throw myself on the proverbial hand grenade for love, honor, and all the right reasons, and what do I get? Bloody well toasted and ghosted is what I get, isn't it? It's just not fair.
Angel: Fair?! You asked for a soul! I didn't. It almost killed me. I spent a hundred years trying to come to terms with infinite remorse. You spent 3 weeks moaning in a basement, and then you were fine! What's fair about that?!
Spike: Come on, hero. Tell me more. Teach me what it means. And I'll tell you why you can't stand the bloody sight of me.
Angel: Tell it to your therapist.
Spike 'Cause every time you look at me, you see all the dirty little things I've done, all the lives I've taken because of you! Drusilla sired me but you - you made me a monster.
Angel:: I didn't make you, Spike. I just opened up the door and let the real you out.
Spike: You never knew the real me. Too busy trying to see your own reflection, praying there was someone as disgusting as you in the world, so you could stand to live with yourself. Take a long look, hero. I'm nothing like you.
Angel: A lot of pain?
Spike: More than I'd like. But not as much as you would. Just what I deserve.
Angel: I didn't say that.
Spike: No. I did. The lass thought I killed her family. And I'm supposed to what, complain 'cause hers wasn't one of the hundreds of families I did kill? I'm not sayin' you're right, 'cause, uh, I'm physically incapable of saying that. But, uh, for a demon, I never did think that much about the nature of evil. No. Just threw myself in. Thought it was a party. I liked the rush. I liked the crunch. Never did look back at the victims.
Angel: I couldn't take my eyes off them. I was only in it for the evil. It was everything to me. It was art. The destruction of a human being. I would've considered Dana a masterpiece.
Cordelia: I can't stay. This isn't me anymore. You can say good-bye to the gang for me, explain everything, once you understand.
Angel: That's gonne be never. I need you here.
Cordelia: Don't make this hard, Angel. I'm just on a different road, and this is my off-ramp. The Powers That Be owed me one, and I didn't waste it. I got my guy back on track.
Angel: Cordy, there's just --
Cordelia: We take what we can get, champ, and we do our best with it.
