      First Impressions

      A = Angel, C = Cordelia, W = Wesley, G = Gunn
      D = Darla, H = Host, DN = David Nabbit

      H: Ooo. Send in the Clowns *and* Tears of a Clown -- both in one night. What a treat.
      A: Yeah, well, uh, I was sort of going for a medley, uh, thing.
      H: Yeah, yeah. More of a duo-dley, though, wasn't it?

      H: You've been practicing haven't you?
      A: A little.
      H: Probably not in front of the mirror.

      A: I still can't believe you're here. I mean, I killed you.

      H: Somebody get these two love vamps a room!

      C: This isn't mere dust. This is Son of Dust. This is the kind of dust that spawns
      countless generations of little baby dust.
      C: I give up.
      W: Very well. We'll just move our offices back to your living room.
      C: And I'm dusting. . . .

      G: Where's Angel?
      C: I believe the word is "hello."
      G: Yeah? Cuz I thought "where's Angel" summed it up.

      C: He's still sleeping.
      G: Sleepin'? It's 3:30 in the afternoon. I been up since dawn.
      C: (to Wes) Sort of missing the whole Creature of the Night angle, isn't he?

      G: Could one of you go in there and knock on his coffin?
      C: He doesn't *use* a coffin. And maybe you've never heard the expression
      "Let sleeping vampires lie"?

      C: Maybe we can help.
      G: You two? I find Divac, I'm gonna need more than C3PO and Stick Figure
      Barbie backin' me up, no offense.
      W: Very little taken.

      DN: Demons of the underworld beware. Your time on this earth is drawing nigh!

      DN: Got here as quick as I could.
      C: We paged you two days ago.

      DN: Identify yourself, traveler. Are you also a fellow demon killer?
      G: Who is this guy?

      DN: Where's Angel?
      C: Actually, he's still kind of sleepy.
      DN: At 3:30? I've been up since dawn.

      DN: I stand ready to fight the good fight, sir. Whaddya need?
      A: Financial advice.

      DN: Oh, that's easy. You could look into seller financing, take over the owner's payments,
      and skip the bank completely; or you could make a play for a preservation grant and offer
      to restore the original decor and get the city and the feds to give you a tax break and a loan
      at a sweetheart rate; or you could apply for an FHA and get a PMI in lieu of a down payment.
      C: Is anybody else getting warm? Do that tax breaks, FHA, and PMI part again.

      A: Cordy? You're driving.
      C: Me? Drive your car? So cool!

      W: Shotgun!

      G: We're too late. He split.
      C: Maybe he heard what a pleasant person you were to be around.

      C: I am so sick of dust.
      A: I can't lift my arm all the way.
      G: This vamp did a number on my ribs.
      W: 'Fraid I threw my back out again.

      C: Grease stains! All over my new outfit. [off looks] Okay, so maybe my pain isn't
      physical, but do you have any idea the dry cleaning bill I'm looking at?

      C: When you do find him, you may want to be a little more Guy Pierce in
      L.A. Confidential, and a little less Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs.
      G: I haven't bothered to see a movie since Denzel was robbed of the Oscar
      for Malcolm X. Later.
      W: That was quite a performance.
      C: I know! Talk about wound up too tight.
      W: No. I - I mean Denzel.
      C: Oh. Well, he's always great.
      W: (to Angel) What about you?
      A: Who doesn't love Denzel?

      C: Okay. I'm gonna die.

      A: What are you doing here?
      W: Gunn's in trouble. Can't. Breathe.
      A: Gunn can't breathe?
      W: I . . .can't. . . breathe.
      A: Oh. Sorry. W: Uh. Oh, s'quite all right. Now, about the naked thing.
      A: I'll get dressed.
      W: Much appreciated.

      C: There you go. Good as new.
      Joey: I think you cracked my skull.
      C: Well, that's new, right?

      C: I was just trying to help you.
      G: Thanks for the help. Always enhances a guy's rep when some skinny white
      beauty queen comes to his rescue -- in front of his crew!

      C: Whether you want to believe it or not, you are in big time danger. I'm Vision Girl. I saw you.

      G: Thanks for coming, buckle up, drive safe. [beat] Where's your car?

      C: Do you know what he's going to do to me when he finds out I let his car get stolen? I mean,
      what are the chances that a vampire has full insurance with a low deductible?

      C: You're just gonna ask them to give it back?
      G: I'll say please.
      C: Oh! I forgot! You'll use your famous charm, like you did this afternoon with that pigeon stool.

      G: You don't have a clue why I do things I do.
      C: Paging Mr. Rationalization!
      G: Paging Miss About to Be Thrown Out of a Moving Vehicle!

      C: You need protection.
      G: And how exactly do you plan on protecting me -- with some weak-ass, lady smith battle axe?
      C: Ask Joey and his cracked skull just how "weak-ass" it is.

      G: Mace?
      C: To squirt, squirt -- right in the eyes.
      G: You expecting me to be jumped by a couple of purse-snatching demons?

      C: I'm your protector whether you like it or not.
      G: This thing better attack me soon, cuz I *know* I can't take much more of this.

      W: What's the problem?
      A: It's just, you know, the whole visibility issue not to mention the whole hat head thing,
      and I mean, when you really think about it how come I have to wear the lady's helmet?
      W: Stop being such a wanker and put it on.

      W: Looks good. Hop on board gorgeous.
      A: You'll pay for this.

      G: New acquisitions are in the garage.
      C: Getting the full make over, I bet.

      C: Geez. Short enough leash? Or do you just go all warm and tingly on the whole power trip thing?

      G: Now, we when get inside. Just shut up and stay close to me.
      C: Hold on there, Generalissimo. I'm not one of your toy soldiers you can just boss around.
      G: I don't even want you here.
      C: Too bad. I am here. And I don't take orders. [beat] Except from Angel. And at least he
      usually asks nicely. And besides, I don't need you how to tell me how to behave at a party.
      Trust me. I know how to blend.
      [Party. Party. Not Cordy's style.]
      C: Okay, not exactly blending. Maybe I'll just shut up and stay close to you.

      Veronica: Who's your friend?
      C: Who me? I'm no friend. I mean, I'm just here on business. I'm a working girl. That came
      out wrong. I mean, obviously, I'm not "working girl." Not that I couldn't be if I wanted to. Of
      course, I could. God, that sounded stuck up, didn't it? I didn't mean to imply that I could be a
      working girl and you couldn't. Far from it! You'd make a great. . . . Could you just point me
      to the hors d'oeuvres?

      C: Are you friends with, like, every criminal in town?
      G: Now, see, there you go assuming those brothers are criminals.
      C: Aren't they?
      G: You mean like your friend David Nabbit? You think he became a billionaire by being
      a good citizen?
      C: Actually, he did. He made his first millions developing software that lets blind people surf the
      Web. Plus, he set up a foundation that donates $20 million a year to countless charitable causes.
      G: Yeah, well you let me know when some of that corn trickles down to these parts.

      C: Take it easy.
      G: I can't take it easy. I can never take it easy. Not for a second, all right? The minute I forget
      that, somebody like Alonna pays the price.
      C: Alonna?
      G: [pause] Veronica. I can't stop. I can't ever stop.

      G: You drive it out of here; I'll follow you home.
      C: Just as soon as find the keys.

      G: You know, I gotta tell you. You are one high-maintenance chick.
      C: The keys are here. Somewhere.
      G: You are *killin'* me.
      C: Can't you, you know, hot wire it?
      G: Just cuz I know some car thieves doesn't mean I am one.
      C: Hey, instead of being High Moral Ground Guy, why don't you help me find them?

      Divac: How touching. A woman willing to die with her man.
      C: Oh, no. He's not my man. He's just a friend. And . . . about the willing to die part?

      G: You must be Divac. They told me you was ugly, but damn.

      Divac: Surival of the fittest, brah. And right now, you're not looking too fit.

      W: Angel, look. I found your keys. Unfortunately, this substance doesn't appear to be coming off.
      A: What is that?
      W: Demon blood. Or demon pus. Or possibly both.

      G: Well, you finally saved my life. I guess I should say thanks.
      C: Yes, you should.

      D: Always the protector, never the protected.
      A: I have so many things to make up for.
      D: And you have. You take care of so many people. But who takes care of you?
      A: [Smiles] You do.

      D: I could just eat. you. up.

      Grr. . . argh!
