Quotes 

• Cordelia : That's everything? It all makes perfect sense now. I was a cheerleader, a princess and a warrior. And I have visions and super powers and I'm the target of an evil law firm because I've spent the last three months living on a higher plane, fighting for the forces of good, who wage a battle against demons and evilies and squishy bug babies, 'cause all that stuff's real and that's the world I live in. And-and I think I know why I don't remember any of this 'cause, hey who'd want to!

  Angel : I know it's a lot to take in.

  Cordelia : Says the vampire with a soul and his wacky gang of sidekicks.

  Charles Gunn : [Raises his hand]  Um, not a sidekick.

• Cordelia : [after beating up two guys]  Wow. How did I-?

  [beat] 

  Cordelia : I am a spy.

  [Angel sighs] 

  Cordelia : I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-techno-thingy that you want.

  Charles Gunn : So... I look Russian to you?

  Cordelia : Black Russian.

  Angel : That's a drink.

  Cordelia : Says the head spy.

• Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : Is that why you ran out while Cordelia was singing?

  Lorne : Well, "A", I wasn't running, I was fleeing. And, "B", yes.

  Charles Gunn : Well, how horrible is this thing?

  Lorne : Well, I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but, if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

• Angel : How could you let her wander off alone?

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : The words "grown woman" come to mind.

  Charles Gunn : And the gal does have a history of whooping ass. I mean, you saw the hurting she put on those Wolfram and Hart dudes. And could she really turn me into a rat?

• Charles Gunn : Where you going?

  Cordelia : Out. Away. Does it matter?

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : But it's not safe.

  Cordelia : Oh, right, 'cause of evil ninja law firm.

  Charles Gunn : We'll come with, just in case.

  Cordelia : You keep telling me I was a higher being. Don't make me turn you into a rat.

  [slams door] 

  Charles Gunn : [Freaked out]  Can she do that?

• Charles Gunn : How 'bout a sandwich. Let's go to the kitchen.

  Winifred 'Fred' Burkle : We have cookies.

  Cordelia : I don't want a sandwich. I don't want cookies. I wanna talk to Angel, sans sidekicks.

  [Walks off] 

  Charles Gunn : I am not a sidekick.
