      HM = Hotel Manager, BM = Bellman, TD = Thesuliac Demon

      C: English breakfast tea. Coffee. O Pos!

      C: Something the matter?
      A: I, um, I think it's gone bad. It's starting to coagulate.
      C: Huh? No. That's cinnamon. What? I can't try something?

      BM: Guy gives me the heebie jeebies. Say, how about instead of this bill, I deliver an eviction notice?
      HM: We can not evict residents on the grounds of the heebie jeebies. Now, if we did, we'd have to shut down.

      J: My boyfriend? He's kind of the jealous type.
      A: Maybe you shouldn't go wandering into other men's rooms.

      A: He's goin' down.

      C: You did notice that Angel neglected to tell us the, for instance, point of all this?
      W: Ah. Well, I mean, clearly, he has us compiling incidents, arranging data, organizing information in such a way that. . . yes, I did notice that -- the no point thing.

      W: Frankly, I haven't the slightest idea what to do with all this. We could make a collage. Or a mobile!

      W: Well, now we know one thing for certain.
      C: Yup! It's not that vampires don't photograph. It's just that they don't photograph well!

      HM: This is the third one in as many months. Why can't they ever do it in their own homes, for god's sakes?
      BM: I should've seen it comin'. Guy did seem pretty depressed.
      HM: Oh really? How could you tell?
      BM: Kinda cheap though. The deathwishers usually tip better, like they know they're not gonna take it with them anyway.

      Rock Hudson Guy: Are all screenwriters this crass?
      Blacklisted Writer: Are all actors this naive?

      J: The entire universe explodes!
      A: Sounds exciting.
      J: Well, it's air conditioned.

      J: Can you imagine that wallpaper being the last thing you see before you go?
      A: Maybe it was the wallpaper that drove him to it.

      C: It's kinda like a puzzle -- the Who Died Horribly Because Angel Screwed Up 50 Years Ago Game?

      A: It's just blood, Judy. It's all just blood.

      J: I'm not one thing or the other. I am nothing!
      A: I know what that's like.

      W: There's a pattern here. Some force was residing at the Hyperion over the last decades affecting staff and residents. I just fear there's no real way to --
      C: A Thesuliac. Paranoia demon -- whispers to its victims, feeds on their innate insecurities.
      W: [Gapes]
      C: [holds out phone] Angel wants to talk to you.

      Beatnik Store Guy: [watching tv] They keep calling her a zany redhead. Could be a brunette for all I can tell. Guess I'll just have to take their word for it.

      A: It's been a long time since I've opened a vein, but I'll do it you pull any more of that Van Helsing Jr. crap with me. Are we clear?

      HM: What took you so long?
      BM: He wouldn't fit.
      HM: What? What'd you do with him?
      BM: He's in there. I just had to sorta, you know, what do you call it, make him fit. No chance I can get in trouble for that, is there?

      Blacklisted Writer: Maybe he saw you with one of your little trysts. Maybe he threatened to tell the studio. Expose, perhaps, your little peccadilloes to the press.
      Rock Hudson Guy: Don't you dare use alliteration with me, you hack!

      Beatnik Store Guy: So, you were, what, about my age when you were made?
      A: I don't know. How old are you?
      BSG: Just north of 30.
      A: [Indignant] No!

      BSG: Vampire wanting to slay a demon in order to help some grubby humans? I just don't get it.
      A: To be honest, I'm not sure I do either.

      W: Orb of Ramgarin!
      G: "Orb of Ramgarin, please," makes it happen.

      W: Please. And do be careful. Ancient conjuring orbs are notoriously fragile.
      G: [Tosses Orb at Wes]
      W: ANGEL!
      A: Guys, don't listen to it, alright? Whatever it's whispering to you, just ignore it.
      C: They were like this all the way over here in the car.
      A: Oh.

      TD: Oh, you got your feelings hurt didn't you? See, now, what happens when you stick your neck out for 'em? They throw rope around it!

      TD: There's an entire hotel here just full of tortured souls who could really use your help. Whaddya say?
      A: Take 'em all.

      A: Watch his tentacles.
      C: Excuse me?!
      W: Tentacles.

      TD: I don't remember ordering take out, but I like what you brung me. Not as delectable as the last one perhaps, but full of tasty paranoia just the same. Especially that one.
      W: What did he mean by that?

      W: What did it mean "especially that one"?!

      J: I'm so sorry I killed you. Can you forgive me?
      A: Of course.

      W: I've been accused of a great many things in my time, but paranoid has never been one of them. Unless people have been saying it behind my back.

      C: Are we finished?
      A: Think so.
      C: Good. Because I, for one, will be glad to see the last of this place. Gives me the heebie jeebies.
      G: No lie. Plus, it's kinda got an odor to it, you notice that?
      C: Seventy years of violence, mayhem, and paranoia? Bad vibes.
      A: We're moving in.
      C: I mean, a few throw pillows -- what's not to love?

      W: Angel. You don't find me especially paranoid, do you?
      A: Not especially.
      W: Oh, thank god. I was worried.

      Grr. . . argh!
