Quotes
-
Angel : Killing them's not going to change the past.
Lawson : But it'll hurt you. Maybe that's enough.
Angel : Never is.
Lawson : Then maybe I found my mission again after all these years.
Angel : Being an evil sonofabitch not keeping you busy?
Lawson : We all need a reason to live, even if we're already dead. Mom, apple pie, the Stars and Stripes... that was good enough for me, 'till I met you. Then I had this whole creature-of-the-night thing going for me, the joy of destruction and death, and I embraced it. I did all the terrible things a monster does: murdered women and children, tortured fathers and husbands just to hear 'em scream, and through it all... I felt nothing. Sixty years of blood drying in my throat like ashes. So what do you think? Is it me, chief? Or does everyone you sired feel this way?
Angel : You're the only one I ever did this to... after I got a soul.
Lawson : Do I have one, too?
Angel : I don't think it works that way, son.
Lawson : Didn't think so.

Spike : Really oughta do somethin' about security. They'll let anybody in here, won't they? Fred gave me the Cliff Notes. So sailor boy finally came back for a yo-ho-ho, did he?
Angel : Finally came back.
Spike : Took him long enough. Know revenge is best served cold and all, but his must've been frozen solid.
Angel : I don't think that's what he was after.
Spike : No? Then what was he looking for?
Angel : A reason.

Lawson : Did they at least torture you? Please tell me they did.
Angel : Never gave them a chance. Jumped ship, off the coast of Maine. Went underground till the war was over.
Lawson : Like any other coward.
Angel : Wars are won and lost by men.
Lawson : You mean, like me? No, wait, that doesn't apply anymore, does it?
Angel : I never wanted to do this to you.
Lawson : Oh, put your hanky away. I know how important the technology they pulled from the sub was to helping us stop the Germans. Sounded like a fair shake. One person damned to make the world safe for future generations.

Lawson : Except these guys.
