Quotes
-
Angel : [to Oz, after saving the ring] Thanks for the help, man. You were key.
Oz : You're - - incredibly pale.
Cordelia : Look, you should lie down. We should take you home.
Allen Francis Doyle : Just give him a minute
[Angel stares at the sunlight beach in wonder]
Oz : [to Doyle and Cordy] He's very pale. Paler than most people.

Angel : I don't know about you, but I had a nice day. You know, except for the bulk of it where I was nearly tortured to death.
Allen Francis Doyle : Hey, you stood up.
Angel : Oh, God. I was this close to telling him everything. I mean, on more hot poker and I was giving him the ring, your mom, everything.
[beat]
Angel : How is your mom?
-
Allen Francis Doyle : So what, you don't get the ring because your period of self-flagellation isn't over yet? I mean, think of all the daytime people you can help between 9 and 5.
Angel : They have help. The whole world is designed for them. So much so that they have no idea what goes on around them after dark. They don't see the weak ones lost in the night. And the things that prey on them. And if I joined them, maybe I'd stop seeing too.

[to Spike whilst fighting]
Angel : Is this your big strategy for gettin' the ring back?
Spike : I had a plan.
[Hurls Spike onto a car and pins him face first to the bonnet]
Angel : You, a plan?
Spike : A good plan, smart plan, carefully laid out. But, I got bored.
[Spike pushes Angel against a wall]
Spike : All that watching, waiting. My legs started to cramp.

Allen Francis Doyle : [after Angel receives the Gem Of Amara, a ring that allows the wearer to become unkillable] Why don't you put it on and, here, I'll stake ya. It'll be fun!
Angel : Maybe later.
Allen Francis Doyle : What, are you out of your mind?
Angel : I said, maybe later.
Allen Francis Doyle : Yeah...
Angel : Doyle!

Marcus : You did terrible things when you were bad, didn't you? And now you're trying so hard to do good. But Angel, there is nothing either bad or good but thinking makes it so.
[some of the chair Spike shattered has formed a handy stake on the floor near Angel's foot which he strains to conceal from Marcus while his back is turned]
Marcus : Now, I can make the pain go away.
[he pulls a red hot poker out of Angel, making him scream in agony]
Marcus : And as you know, I can bring it back again.
[he pulls the other, and Angel screams again]
Marcus : What do you want, Angel? I think I know but I'd like to hear it from you. The truth... I'll know if you're lying.
[he walks over to Angel, waiting for the answer]
Angel : [this is difficult, but Angel gives him the answer] I want...
[Marcus leans in]
Angel : ... forgiveness.
Marcus : [pleased] Yes, that's the truth. And you want to earn it. You're not the type who takes the easy way out, which is why I like you so much. In the end, you won't feel guilt... or remorse... or anything but pure darkness. In the end... the ring... the past... none of it will mean anything anymore. You'll be free. I promise.
Angel : And I promise... to kill you.
[Angel is just about to stake Marcus when Spike returns and takes it away]
Spike : Now, now! Staking the torturer is strictly prohibited.
[for the first time, Marcus's impassive mask slips and he starts to pummel Angel, but Spike holds him back]
Spike : Easy, big fella. We need that ring.
[to Angel]
Spike : Now, you've made him mad. Wouldn't want to be in your chains.
Marcus : [regaining his calm facade] It won't be long now.
Spike : Well, what's say I... grab a pair of needle-nosed pliers and give a hand?
[from outside the warehouse, Angel screams]
