Episode Quotes
Wesley: What happened to calmly, cautiously, and deliberately investigating before rushing in?
Angel: That was plan A. We've since moved on to plan B.
Wesley: And plan B is?
Angel: (twirls a battle ax) Do I really have to explain it to you, Wesley?
Kate: Sorry. I guess I'm still having a little trouble with this otherworldly stuff.
Angel: Right. Although demons aren't technically otherwordly. I mean, in fact, they were here... first.
Kate: No, you don't get to do that.
Angel: What?
Kate: Kill a demon in front of me and then act like we're going to have a cappuccino together!
