Did you trade Fred for your son? Angel: What? Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Everything that's happened since we took over Wolfram & Hart, everything that's happened to... her... Did you know? Was Fred the price? Angel: No. Wes... I can explain. Just put that down. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Why are you so afraid of this? He said it would bring back the past. Will it undo what you've done? Angel: No. It won't bring her back. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Let's find out. Angel: No! Please. You have to trust me. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I can't. Not anymore. |
![]() | Season 5 / Episode 18: - Origin Illyria: You betrayed Angel. You stole his son. He tried to kill you. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Yes. Illyria: Are these the memories you needed back? Does this now make you Wesley? Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: At least I know what happened. Illyria: Do you? There are two sets of memories. Those that happened and those that are fabricated. It's hard to tell which is which. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Try to push reality out of your mind. Focus on the other memories. They were created for a reason. Illyria: To hide from the truth? Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: To endure it. |

![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Lindsey McDonald: That's what I like to see. Angel of yore. Takes no prisoners. Suffers no fools. How about this? It's here. It's been here all along, underneath. You're just too damn stupid to see it. Angel: See what? Lindsey McDonald: The Apocalypse, man. You're soakin' in it. Spike: I've seen an Apocalypse or two in my time. I'd know if one was going on under my nose. Lindsey McDonald: Not "an" Apocalypse. "The" Apocalypse. What... you think a gong was gonna sound? Time to jump on your horses and fight the big fight? Starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys. Since you came to work here at Wolfram & Hart, you're playin' for the bad guys. Every day you sit behind your desk and you learn a little more how to accept the world the way it is. Well, here's the rub. Heroes don't do that. Heroes don't accept the world the way it is. They fight it. Angel: You're saying that everything we do here... it's a distraction to keep us busy from looking under the surface? Lindsey McDonald: Ding! We got a winner. Every day the world keeps slidin' towards entropy and degradation. And what do you do? You sit in your big chair and you sign your checks... just like the Senior Partners planned. The war's here, Angel, and you're already two soldiers down. |
![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Angel: The Senior Partners - I wanna know everything you know about them. About the Apocalypse. About their plans for me. Spike: And for me.

We live. We die. Lindsey McDonald: Even you, babe. Eve: Lindsey, don't. Lindsey McDonald: You still happy to see me? Angel: Yeah, Hell's on Earth. That's how Wolfram & Hart operates and thrives. Holland Manners tried to sell me that line three years ago. Lindsey McDonald: Did you ever prove him wrong? Angel: [beat] All how you look at the glass. |
![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Lindsey McDonald: Look, it's the hero of the hour. Angel: I'm not your hero. I'm your warden. Lindsey McDonald: It's all how you look at the glass. Angel: I'd have thought a few months of torture at the hands of the Senior Partners would've dug a little deeper. Lindsey McDonald: Just scratched the surface. Turns out they can only undo you as far as you think you deserve to be undone. I wonder how Gunn's gonna make it out. |

![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Angel: [about Fred] I should never have let her come here. Bad things always happen here. Spike: Hate to break it to you, mate, but bad things always happen everywhere. |

![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Illyria: In my time, nightmares walked among us. Walked and danced, skewering victims in plan sight, laying their fears and worst desires out for everyone to see. This to make us laugh. |
![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Lindsey McDonald: Angel. [sees a knife on Angel's belt] Make it quick. Angel: If I was gonna kill you, it wouldn't be quick. |

![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Illyria: I lived seven lives at once. I was power in the ecstasy of death. I was god to a god. Now... I'm trapped on a roof... just one roof, in this time and this place with an unstable human who drinks too much whiskey and called me a Smurf. |

![]() | Season 5 / Episode 17: - Underneath Illyria: Tell me a joke. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Two men walk into a bar. The first man orders a scotch and soda. The second man remembers something he'd forgotten, and it doubles him over with pain. He falls to the floor shaking and then through the floor into the earth. He looks back up at the first man, but he doesn't call out to him. They're not that close. |
