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!
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
When Angel rises from his grave, you can see his and Darla's breath. Producer Tim Minear acknowledges the mistake and explained that the budget wasn't sufficent enough to digitally remove their breath.
 
Despite biting and drinking from the grounds keeper, there is no blood on or around Angel's mouth or teeth.
