Season One
I Will Remember You
Cordelia: You don't want to stir, but if my ex came to town and was all stalking me in the shadows and then left and then he didn't even say hello, I'd be . . .
Buffy: A little upset. Wouldn't you?
Angel: It's complicated how this all happened, Buffy, you know. It's kind of a long story.
Buffy: Your new sidekick had a vision, I was in it, you came to Sunnydale?
Angel: Okay, maybe not that long.
Buffy: You didn't feel that I was important enough to even tell me that you were there.
Angel: I'm trying to explain. It's because I felt you were important that I didn't tell you.
Buffy: I don't need you skulking around, trying to protect me . . . unless, of course, I'm in some gigantic fight to the death, which I was last night. That was you helping me, wasn't it?
Angel: I was in the neighborhood. Skulking.
Buffy: I just know that when you're around, whether I see you or not, I feel you. Inside. And it throws me.
Angel: It throws me, too.
Buffy: Friend of yours?
Angel: Never saw it before.
Buffy: It was rude. We should go kill it.
Angel: I'm free.
Maybe if your crack staff hadn't run off at the first sign of trouble, they could have helped us with some research.
Buffy: It's a lot handier than your fightin' ax.
Angel: Unless it chops them in two and maybe takes some of your hand with it.
Are you getting anything? Cause I sure smell sewer.
I know. I do, too. I mean, I only came to see you so I could tell you face to face not to see me face to face anymore. And I know there's a fly in that logic ointment somewhere, but the next thing I knew, we were being attacked by this Mutant Ninja Demon Thing, and we're on the floor on top of each other, and it's just really confusing being around you.
Angel: No, I meant I felt weird from the demon's blood It's powerful.
Buffy: O-kay. Let's just rewind Buffy's little outburst and pretend it never happened.
Oh boy. I was really jonesing for another heartbreaking sewer talk.
Angel: I'm sorry I kissed you like that.
Buffy: You are?
Angel: Not for the kiss itself.
Buffy: Good. I mean, cause, as far as kisses go, I thought that it was well above average.
You spoke to the Oracles. And they did say you were cured for good. But, how do we know that they really speak for the Powers? I mean, they could be pranksters.
Angel: You're still the Slayer. And I'm not sure what I am now. I don't even know what my purpose is. I can't just wedge myself into your life back in Sunnydale. I wouldn't be good for either of us. Not to mention the fact that you just started college. And what about Slaying? I mean, if you had me to worry about, you might not be as focused.
Buffy: Are you gonna pull out a pie chart on me now?
You know, it's a good thing I didn't fantasize about you turning human only about 10 zillion times. Cuz today would have been a real let down.
Angel: We stay in touch, just not . . .
Buffy: Literally.
This is a dream. You're human for, like, a minute and already there's cookie dough fudge mint chip in the fridge.
Angel: Why did you never tell me about chocolate and peanut butter?
Buffy: Well, I figured if your vamp taste buds couldn't really savor it, then it would only hurt you to know.
Buffy: By the way, I'm over the whole needing to be mature thing. That time you just spent in the kitchen? That was enough time apart.
Angel: Too much.
Angel: Agh, okay, mortal coordination leaving something to be desired.
Buffy: Wrong, it's just right.
Buffy: That's a good sound. Thump thump, thump thump.
Angel: It feels pretty amazing.
Buffy: I'm so sleepy. But I still want . . .
Angel: What? You couldn't possibly . . .
Buffy: No, I'm spent. Pleasantly numb even. You?
Angel: For now.
Buffy: No, I want to stay awake so that this day can keep happening.
Angel: Sleep. We'll make another one like it tomorrow.
Cordelia: I'm in some real pain here and all you can talk about is Angel. Has it even occurred to you how this whole being human thing might affect me?
Buffy: Regrettably, no.
Buffy: You hurt my boyfriend.
Demon: A great darkness is coming.
Buffy: You got that right.
I'm guessing that expression isn't because they were all out of fresh OJ at the deli.
Buffy: So, what, you just took a whole 24 hours to weigh the ups and downs of being a regular Joe and decided it was more fun being a super hero?
Angel: You know that's not it. How can we be together if the cost is your life or the lives of others?
I felt your heart beat.
I'll never forget, I'll never forget, I'll never forget. (flash)
Buffy: So, then let's just stick to the plan. Keep our distance until time has passed. Given enough time, we should be able to . . .
Angel: Forget?
Sanctuary
Angel: It's not what you think.
Buffy: You actually think I could form a thought right now?
Buffy: Giles heard that...that she tried to kill you.
Angel: That's true.
Buffy: So you decided to punish her with a severe cuddling.
Angel: Is that why you're here? To punish her?
Buffy: I was worried about you.
Faith: Buffy. I'm so--
Buffy: You apologize to me, I will beat you to death.
Angel: She's not gonna run, Buffy.
Buffy: Why would she, when she has her brave knight to protect her? Got you. Did she cry? Pouty lips? Heaving bosom?
Buffy: You hit me.
Angel: Not to go all schoolyard on you, but you hit me first. In case you've forgotten, you're a little bit stronger than I am.
Buffy: She's playing you. She tried to kill you.
Angel: That was just. . . That was just a cry for help.
Buffy: A cry for help is when you say "Help" in a loud voice.
Angel: I know Faith did some bad things to you.
Buffy: You can't possibly know.
Angel: You can't possibly know what she's going through.
Buffy: But of course you do. I'm sorry. I can't be in your club. I've never murdered anyone.
Buffy: You're not gonna run, Faith.
Faith: Whaddya wanna do? Throw me off the roof? Again?
Faith: Angel said there was no way you were gonna give me a chance.
Buffy: I gave you every chance. I tried so hard to help you. And you spat on me. My life was just something for you to play with. Angel. Riley. Anything that you could take from me, you took. I've lost battles before. But nobody else has *ever* made me a victim.
Faith: And you can't stand that. You're all about control. You have no idea what it's like on the other side. Nothing's in control. Nothing makes sense. There's just pain and hate and nothing you do means anything.
Buffy: You know what he is?
Kate: Who are you?
Angel: She's nobody.
Buffy: Do you have any idea what it was like for me to see you with her? That you went behind my back...
Angel: Buffy, this wasn't about you. This was about saving somebody's soul. That's what I do here, and you're not a part of it. That was your idea, remember? We stay away from each other.
Buffy: I came here because you were in danger.
Angel: I'm in danger every day. You came here because of Faith. You were looking for vengeance.
Buffy: I have a right to it.
Angel: Not in my city.
Buffy: I have someone in my life now. That I love. It's not what you and I had. It's very new. You know what makes it new? I trust him. I know him.
Angel: That's great. It's nice. You moved on. I can't. You found someone new. I'm not allowed to, remember? I see you again, it cuts me up inside. And the person I share that with is me. You don't know me anymore, so don't come down here with your great new life and expect me to do things your way. Go home.
Buffy: See? Faith wins again.
Angel: Go.
