Quotes 

• Cordelia Chase : [about Fred]  She's got the big puppy love. I mean, who wouldn't? You're handsome, and brave, and heroic, emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning evil and, lets face it, a eunuch.

  Angel : Hey, how can you... I'm not a eunuch.

  Cordelia Chase : Angel, it's just a figure of speech.

  Angel : Find a better one.

• Angel : [as Marcus]  A talk with Fred?

  Cordelia Chase : Yes! Just keep it simple. One: you're not like other men. Two: there's no room in the workplace for romance.

  Angel : Romance with Fred. So I'm a...

  [Looks down at his clothes] 

  Angel : Obviously.

• Angel : [as Marcus]  Hey. How're you doing?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Alright. Well... you?

  Angel : [as Marcus]  So, we gotta talk. The thing is, I've got nothing against you personally. It's just...

  [Wes looks at him] 

  Angel : ...Oh, this is gonna be harder than I-I thought. I just don't know how to spit this out.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Angel. Whatever it is, you know I'm here for you.

  [Wes goes to touch Angel's knee] 

  Angel : [as Marcus gets out of the chair before Wesley touches him]  Yeah. That may be the problem. I mean, whatever we... had... whatever we... did. I just think that we should keep that... behind us. Start from scratch. You know, two men working side by side. But, you know, none of that funny stuff.

  [Wesley looks at Angel oddly] 

  Angel : Shake on that?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : I guess.

  [Wesley takes Angel's hand, who gives it a hearty shake, then pulls Wesley into a hug.] 

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Hey, all right. Gimme a hug.

  Cordelia Chase : Wesley, food's here.

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Okay.

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Wesley?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Yes?

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Do you know where Fred is?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Um up in her room I'd expect.

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Her room. Right. Somebody say something about food? I could eat a horse.

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [finding out where Angel as Marcus had sex]  I don't believe it, on my desk?

  Charles Gunn : Well, it did used to be his. Maybe he was just kind of... reclaiming it?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : How? By marking it? This isn't like him.

  Cordelia Chase : What? This is totally like him. Doing the mystery dance with some cheap blonde.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Brunette, she was a cheap brunette.

  Cordelia Chase : You're right, this isn't like him.

• [last lines] 

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : It's like something out of Fitzgerald, - the man who can have everything but love. Well, maybe in some ways you're better off. Love is... well in a way it's everything. But it's also heartache and disappointment. And those are good things to avoid.

  Cordelia Chase : Angel, Willow's on the phone... She's alive! Buffy's alive!

  [Angel jumps up and runs after Cordelia into the hotel] 

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Buffy?

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Nothing. Just taking a little stroll and...

  [looks at open magazine] 

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Why do girls wanna look like that? I spent years in a cave starving. What's their excuse?

  Cordelia Chase : Fashion.

• [first lines] 

  Charles Gunn : Hey, Fred.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Sorry, did I startle you guys?

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : No.

  Cordelia Chase : Only in the sense of shocking and jolting us. What's up?

• Cordelia Chase : I'll interview the hookers. Are there any men who aren't just dogs?

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Not very many, I'm afraid.

  [to Wesley] 

  Angel : You know a woman is more than a piece of meat. I'm sorry. That's just how I feel.

• Angel : [as Marcus]  Now what did I do with the darn case file...?

  Cordelia Chase : [quietly]  You gave it to me yesterday.

  Angel : [as Marcus]  Ha, must be getting old.

• Cordelia Chase : [after watching Angel eat a burrito]  Um... why are you eating?

  Angel : [as Marcus]  'Cause I'm hungry.

• Cordelia Chase : Are you alright?

  Marcus Rosco : [as Angel]  I gotta pee.

• Cordelia Chase : God, I love technology.

• Cordelia Chase : If Julia Roberts ever makes a realistic movie about being an escort; I think it should be called "Pretty Skanky Woman".

• Cordelia Chase : You're Angel? With that cologne? I don't think so.
