      J = Jack, E = Ernie, the Bookie, Cr = Cribb, L = Lila

      C: Demons, Demons, Demons. Wow. They put a lot of thought into *that* title.
      W: It's a demon database. What would you call it?
      C: I don't know. How 'bout . . . Demon Database?
      W: Ah. A name rife with single entendre.

      C: Why isn't Wolfram & Hart in here?
      W: Because they're lawyers, not demons?
      C: Fine line, you ask me.

      C: Someone oughta create a Intra-Demon Dating Base. You know, like ArchFiend.org -- Where the lonely and the slimy connect.

      C: I was just joking Mr. Grouchy Pants. When was the last time you had a dating base?
      W: For your information, I live a rich and varied social life.
      C: Oh, I know. Every night it's Jeopardy followed by Wheel of Fortune and a cup of hot cocoa. Look out girls, this one can't be tamed.
      W: I'll admit it may not be as intoxicating as a life erected on high-fashion pumps and a push-up bra.
      C: Hey, if anyone is wearing a push-up bra around here it's . . . Angel!

      A: Do you two need to see a counselor?
      C: No, I'm way too single entendre to benefit from therapy.
      W: I don't know why you take everything so personally.
      C: Me? Oh, this is rich coming from Mr. Don't Talk to Me Before I've Had my Flagon of Oatbran in the Morning.
      A: Children, we have company.

      D: My brother and I haven't exactly been close since we grew up. I made something of my life, and Jack . . . didn't.

      A: Mind if I play, Ernie?
      E: It's invitation only.
      A: Then invite me. It's a been a while since I've played, so I might be a little rusty on the rules. But I think my Jacks ::tosses pictures of Jack on the table:: beat your pair.

      E: Jack doesn't have any friends. Just people he doesn't owe.

      C: Okay, I'm in. What did Darren write down about the demons that took his brother?
      W: Bald. Ultra-white skin. Slime.
      C: There's always slime. This is why I don't gamble. You make a small wager one day and a bigger one the next, and before you know it... Beetlejuicey Albino comes a-knockin'!

      C: Claws or hands?
      W: He wrote 'claw-like hands.'
      C: Could be a mixed-breed. Smell?
      W: Sulfuric.

      C: Okay, first I say yuck, and then I hit search.

      A: You set me up.
      D: It was a group effort.

      A: I asked for a room with a view.

      A: We'll have so much to talk about during the long winter nights.

      W: He's only been gone one night.
      C: One long night in which he was supposed to check in with us and didn't. And. . . he's not someone who tans well.

      C: You're going to the bookie?
      W: That's the last place we know Angel went.
      C: The bookie who may get his jollies cutting off people's extremities?
      W: That's why I'm taking this!
      ::pulls out crossbow. . . and a tangle of other things::
      Along with a few other things.

      D: Trepkos, you're the main event. You'll go against Malish.
      Cr: That's not a match-up; that's an execution.

      ::Demon throws himself across the red line and disintegrates::
      J: Dammit. We paid good money for that one.

      D: We'll have to find a replacement for his bout.
      J: How 'bout Captain America, here?

      W: Where is he?
      E: Your boss? Gave me $200 to answer his questions. I'm a businessman. Make an offer.
      W: You should understand that the man I work for means a great deal to me, and I will not give you a single red cent. What I will do, sir, is beat it out of you, if I have to.
      E (laughing): You're from another country right?
      W: ::holds up crossbow::
      E: What are you, Robin Hood?
      W: ::shoots the guy in the hand, grabs the gun he drops, and holds it on his henchmen:: Please drop those.

      C: Sir, Madam. I'm Detective Andrews, this is Detective . . . Yelsew.

      W: Something's going down tonight! Something with The Man!

      C: You almost blew it!
      W: I saved us.
      C: Something's going down with The Man? You idiot.

      Cr: Idiot. Thinks he can get out of this by pulling a Ghandi.

      W: These Octavian matches date back to the Roman Empire. I'd heard rumors of a revival.
      C: Well, couldn't they have just done West Side Story?

      Cr: One lucky kill don't make you an expert.
      A: That wasn't the first life I've taken -- or the twenty-first.

      C: We've got to get Angel out of there.
      W: I know. But to do that, we have to get him out of those wrist cuffs. No mean feat, they were forged by ancient sorcerers.
      C: So get an ancient key.

      W: I may be able to make one myself -- if I could get my hands on one of those cuffs, which isn't going to be easy . . . unless you happened to procure one while I wasn't looking.

      J: Well, that was the most exciting match I've ever seen. My favorite part was when you stuck Baker with the knife. Kind of put a damper on the whole brotherhood spiel.

      A: Someone needs to put you in your place. You . . . and your brother.
      J: Someone may. Someday. But not you. And not today.
      A: Why put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today?

      D: Let him go.
      A: Soon as you let us go.
      D: Who do you think you are, Moses?

      A: He's your brother.
      D (shoots): Now he's my dead brother.

      L: How do you feel?
      A: Like I was hit by lightning after the truck ran me over.

      A: You're a fight fan. And a lawyer. Let me guess -- Wolfram & Hart.

      L: There's not one reason why we can't work together.
      A: You're right. . . . there are about a thousand.

      C: You'd think people would get enough gratuitous violence watching Jerry Springer.
      W: Cordelia, do you mind? I'm trying to concentrate.
      C: You've been concentrating all night.

      W: I need to see Angel. Tall fellow. Prominent brow.
      Cr: Yeah, he's dead.
      W: Dead?
      Cr: About 20 seconds, he will be. He's fighting Trepkos and who the hell are you?

      Cr: Gimme your wrist . . . loser.

      Trepkos: It was a good fight.
      A (nearly collapses): I coulda taken ya.

      C: Angel, you don't look so . . . well it's a good thing you heal fast.
      A: It's also a good thing you guys found me in time.
      C: We weren't going to let anything happen to you. Well, I mean beyond the slavery and the severe beatings and stuff.

      C: Wesley came up with the key!
      W: But Cordelia came up with the key to the key in a clinch moment.
      A: You both did great. And I think we did a good thing here.
      W: Yes. We set the captives free.
      C: Well, actually, didn't we set a bunch of demons free?
      W: Ah well, technically. . . yes.

      Grr . . . aargh!
