Episode Quotes
Wesley: What happened to your hair?
Cordelia: Excuse me?
Wesley: Your hair. It's new...it's great! When did this happen?
Cordelia: Ten days ago.
Wesley: Of course! I didn't want to embarrass you by...
Cordelia: ...noticing?

Cordelia: Au contraire. His day is packed. Brood about Darla. Brood about Darla. Lunch! Followed by a little Darla brooding.
Wesley: Right. Enough is enough. I'm gonna march up there and tell him just that…
Cordelia: Nice posturing!
Wesley: Thank you!

Gunn: And what am I supposed to do? Sit home and knit?
Angel: I could use a sweater. Something dark.

Kate: Maybe not. I don't suppose you'd testify against her in a blindingly sunny court of law?

Gunn: Depends. Do we all got to wear these ugly ass shirts? Is this, you know, a team thing? Because, you know, I got my pride.

Cordelia: Okay. Two words I don't like right off the bat: tomb and unearthed. People, you've got to leave your tombs earthed!
Wesley: Shroud of Rahmon. Have you ever heard of it?
Cordelia: I'm not big on shrouds. They're an after-you-die outfit.

Cordelia: Why is it always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing?
Wesley: For purity, I suppose.
Cordelia: This has nothing to do with purity. This is all about dominance, buddy. You can bet if someone ordered a male body part for religious sacrifice the world would be atheist like that.

Angel: You know I'm getting pretty tired of this 'vampires killed my sister so now I'm all entitled' song. Don't you know anything else, like say MacArthur Park?



Episode Goofs
Everyone in the museum is easily effected by the shroud once the vault the tomb is in is opened. This makes one wonder how the tomb was able to make its way to a museum in the first place.
