• Cordelia : We have to go back in.

  Angel : I'm marveling at the wrongness of that idea.

  Cordelia : You wanna wander around backstage like Spinal Tap for the next... ever?

  Angel : I'm sure there are other rooms that...

  Cordelia : All we have to do is play the scene. Get in, get out, no one gets happy.

  Angel : What if there is no more talking in that scene? Look, I've been possessed by the spirits of old lovers before. It never goes well.

  Cordelia : Well, I've got my little cross if things get out of hand. Hey... It's awkward, but it's not us. So long as nothing is removed or inserted, it's all forgotten.

  Angel : It is us, Cordelia. It's you and me. Kissing you, it's... It's not something I can just...

  Cordelia : Oh, come on. It's not *that* horrible. Up to his ass in demon gore, fine. But ask him to mack on a hottie and he wigs. My champion ladies and gentlemen.

• Cordelia Chase : Open the damn door.

  Angel : Kinda hard.

  Cordelia Chase : Kinda noticed.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : So, what are we thinking? Vampires?

  Cordelia : Well, they're not a deeply tanned bunch.

  Charles Gunn : That would explain the precision and the athleticism. I mean, some of those jumps were-

  [everyone looks at him] 

  Charles Gunn : You know, I was cool before I met y'all.

• Cordelia : [about security guard]  You want I should distract him? Make with the nice-nice while you slip by?

  Angel : Don't be stupid. I'm that guy and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is making eyes at me? It's either a bachelor party or a scam.

  Cordelia : What did you just call me?

  Angel : I'm sorry. You're not stupid.

  Cordelia : No, after that.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : And then we have to find a dress for you. Something that will make Angel crazy.

  Cordelia : Fred, sweetie, Angel *is* crazy.

• Cordelia : I was the ditsiest bitch in Sunnydale. Could've had any man I wanted. Now I'm all superhero-y, and the best action I can get is an invisible ghost who's good with the loofah.

• Angel : I was thinking now. You guys should go back. I'll snoop.

  Cordelia Chase : I'm with snoopy. Magic of the ballet, not really getting to me.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : How will the dancers keep time without your rhythmic snoring?

• Cordelia : [snapping awake]  I loved it.

  Angel : It's just intermission.

  Cordelia : Oh.

  [Cordy wipes her mouth, and glances at Angel's jacket] 

  Cordelia : That isn't drool, is it?

  Angel : It's okay. It matches the back.

• Angel : You all right?

  Cordelia : Yeah. We gotta move.

  Angel : You think they're not dead?

  Cordelia : You just looked really hot doing that.

  Angel : Oh.

  Cordelia : Yeah.

  Angel : Run.
