Episode Quotes
(discussing a demon)

Cordelia: Could be a mixed breed. Smell?
Wesley: Sulphuric.
Cordelia: Add a Porsche and hair plugs and I've dated this guy. A lot.

Wesley: These Octavian matches date back to the Roman Empire. I'd heard rumors of a revival.
Cordelia: Couldn't they have just done West Side Story?

Cordelia: Someone ought to create an intra-demon dating base. You know like Archfiend.org, where the lonely and the slimy connect.

Cordelia: You'd think people would get enough gratuitous violence watching Jerry Springer

Cordelia: I was just joking, Mr. Grouchy pants. When was the last time you had a dating base?
Wesley: For your information, I lead a rich and varied social life.
Cordelia: Oh, I know. Every night it's "Jeopardy!" followed by "Wheel of Fortune" and a cup of hot cocoa. Look out, girls, this one can't be tamed.
Wesley: I'll admit, it may not be as intoxicating as a life erected on high-fashioned pumps and a push-up bra ...
Cordelia: Hey, if anyone is wearing a push-up bra around here, it's...(Angel enters) Angel.
Angel: Do you two need to see a counselor?
Cordelia: No, I'm way too single entendre to benefit from therapy.
