Episode Quotes |
| |
Wesley: You're saying I can't do it.
Angel: That's right.
Wesley: So our only option is (picks up a cross and tosses it to Angel) you do it.
(Angel catches and quickly drops it as it burns his hands)
Angel: That was vulgar.
| Cordelia: Look, you don't have to be Joe Stoic about his dying. I mean, I know that you have this unflappable vibe working for you, but you don't have to do that for me.
Angel: I'm not unflappable.
Cordelia: Great, so flap.
| Cordelia: What is this stuff anyway? It's kind of pretty.
Wesley: Uh, it's the bodily excretion of an Ethros demon.
Cordelia: No one could have said "demon poo" before I touched it?
| Angel: She's making brownies.
Wesley: Oh, is that what I smell. I thought I'd tracked something in.
| Wesley: That is not appropriate! It's for killing extinct demons! Angel, make her stop.
Angel: Cordelia.
Wesley: That blade is very old. Who knows what kind of corrosive effect your cooking may have on it.
| Wesley: You great putrescent bully! Pick on an innocent child? You think you're impressive?
Ethros: I am Ethros. I corrupted the spirits of men before they had speech to name me. The child was but the last among tens of thousands, one more pure heart to corrupt, one more soul to suck dry.
Wesley: Well, chalk up one exciting failure. You didn't get that boy's soul.
Ethros: Hmph. What soul?
| Ethros: Do you know what the most frightening thing in the world is? Nothing. That's what I found in the boy. No conscience, no fear, no humanity. Just a black void. I couldn't control him. I couldn't get out. I never even manifested until you brought me forth. I just sat there and watched as he destroyed everything around him. Not from a belief in evil, not for any reason at all. That boy's mind was the blackest Hell I've ever known.
Angel: The marbles. That was you.
Ethros: (nods) When he slept, I could whisper in him. I tried to get him to end his life, even if it meant ending mine.
Angel: You sleepwalked him in front of the car.
Ethros: I had given up... hope. I know you bring death. I do not fear it. The only thing I've ever feared is in that house.
Wesley: Angel, he's with his family. We have to hurry.
Ethros: Yes, you do.

Analysis |

The Nature of the Boy
The Ethros demon mentions the boy has no soul, no conscience or any form of humanity. This makes reference the boy is what it would be like to be evil or a black void in it's purest form that resists humanity all together. A humanless person so evil that even a demon fears the insides of the boy.
