Cordelia: (about Angel) You know what I think? I think he uses his tortured, creature of the night status as a license to be rude and insensitive. Sure, he's polite to the helpless and the downtrodden. But he ignores the people who are close to him, the people who matter the most, you know? Can you say "clueless?"

Angel: Make sure you cut up all the limbs and both heads this time. Remember to bury the parts separately. I don't want this thing coming back to life again.
Cordelia: That's it?
Angel: I'm gonna go clean out the nest. I'll see you back at the office.
Cordelia: Okay, am I wrong in thinking that a "Please" and "Thank you" is generally considered good form when requesting a dismemberment?
Doyle: He appreciates us, in his own...unappreciative way.

Cordelia: Would you come on!
Angel: What's the magic word?
Cordelia: Ugh!
Angel: No, I don't think "Ugh" is the magic word, if one would call it a word and even then certainly not a magic one.
Cordelia: We don't have time for this.
Angel: There's always time to be considerate of others, Cordelia.
Cordelia: Oh please.
Angel: See, wasn't so hard, now, was it?

Angel: Well, what's that old saw: picture your audience in their underwear.
Kate: (giving Angel the once-over) Way ahead of you.

Spivey: I heard it was suicide.
Kate: Supervisor Caffrey shot himself?
Spivey: It happens.
Kate: In the back of the head. Wrapped himself in plastic and locked himself in the trunk of his car?
Spivey: He'd been depressed.

Allen Lloyd: What were your parents like?
Angel: My parents were great. Tasted a lot like chicken.

Johnny: Maybe he's in planet Mongo.

The reference is to Flash Gordon's Planet Mongo.

Kate: Listen to me, I am turning in to Dr. Laura.
