A New World
Connor: "Interesting."
Angel: "My god. - It's you. - Connor."
Angel: "Okay. Everybody just calm down."
Gunn: "Angel, if Peter Pan here doesn't stop..."
Gunn: "Angel? I hate to bring that up, but are we sure this was Connor? Just cause he said 'hi, dad'?"
Angel: "That was him."
Gunn: "Couple of weeks ago he was wearing diapers. Now he's a teenager?"
Cordelia: "Tell me we don't live in a soap opera."
Lorne: "Here is another: you sure he said 'hi, dad' and not 'you're dead'?"
Cordelia: "Okay. That can't be good."
Fred: "I'm guessing the dimensional rift from Quor-toth must still be open?"
Lorne: "Yeah. So, what-what's say we we close it up before anything else slithers, skitters or slides out of there."
Gunn: "Amen to that."
Cordelia: "I command you: Close!... Okay. I got nothing."
Lilah: "I would have called, but I figured you'd only tell me to go to hell, so, I thought I'd just take a shot and drop by. - Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Wesley: "No."
Lilah: "Okay."
Lilah: "Wow. I guess when she slit your throat she nicked your sense of humor."
Wesley: " Dante's Divine Comedy."
Lilah: "Actually it's just part one, the inferno. It's not a first edition, more like the fifteen hundreds, but it's in the original Tuscan. Have you read it?"
Wesley: "Several times."
Lilah: "Then you know it's a guided tour of the underworld, the nine levels of hell."
Wesley: "Yes. Descending, concentric rings based on severity of the sin."
Lilah: "You know, I always forget - the very bottom of hell, in the ninth circle, the devil is frozen in ice, right? He got three heads, three mouths and those mouths are reserved for the worst sinners. Now, I can't remember - who is in the center mouth? Wh-what was his name? The one person in all of human history deemed the greatest sinner? Who is it?"
Wesley: "Judas Iscariot."
Lilah: "Right. The worst spot in hell is reserved for those who betray... So, dont' pretend you're too good to work for us."
Gunn: "Looks like we just missed him though. He's leaving a trail."
Angel: "What? Did he hurt somebody?"
Gunn: "No, nothing like that. I mean gawkers. Folk's not used to seeing a kid in animal skins riding on top of a bus - not south of St. Monica Boulevard, anyway."
Tyke: "An entire suit made of Chamois. That's different. What are you wearing to the Oscars? My Chamois suit. - What's all this?"
Connor: "Things I killed."
Tyke: "Uh, aren't you scary. Chamois and teeth! Wanna know what else is scary?... Me."
Cordelia: "Isn't your neck stiff? You've been standing exactly like that all day."
Groo: "Pylean warriors are trained for such endurance. I once happened upon a herd of Bur-beasts and as you know, engorged Bur-beasts will couple with anything that moves. I was forced to stand perfectly still for eleven days and nights."
Cordelia: "Angel does all that 'ninja statue, don't move a muscle or you're dead' stuff, too. Me, I wouldn't last ten minutes. Of course, heels? Not helping."
Groo: "Yes. I'm sure Angel has regaled you with his many exploits."
Cordelia: "Oh, he's tried alright. But I get so bored with all that 'days of yore' crap... Ah - I mean - they're nothing like your thrilling tales of adventure! Not that you need adventurous tales to impress me. I'm impressed by you just being you."
Groo: "Princess, I should be watching for creatures from the other dimension."
Cordelia: "You're the only creature from another dimension I'm interested in."
Fred: "So, he was here but not part of..."
Gunn: "Oh, he was part of it, lot of mayhem. Including the guy's ear sliced off as a trophy."
Fred: "Uh!"
Angel: "He was raised in a hell dimension, okay?"
Angel: "I have a better chance of finding him by myself. I don't wanna scare him. He's all alone in a strange world."
Sunny: "Quor-toth? That's in Mexico, right?"
Sunny: "Home, sweet home."
Connor: "This is - this is home."
Sunny: "Tonight it is."
Sunny: "We have all the food groups. Meat... and chocolate."
Fred: "Connor is new to this world, alone, probably scared."
Gunn: "Yeah, he looked scared, kicking my ass."
Sunny: "Why did you come to LA?"
Connor: "To find my father."
Sunny: "Really? Heh. I came here to get away from mine. - Parents should have to take a test or something, before they can have kids. And if they're - drunks, or idiots, or evil - they should be sterilized."
Connor: "If they're evil they should be killed.'
Sunny: "You don't say much but - I like what you say."
Angel: "Connor..."
Connor: "Stop calling me that!... My name is Steven."
Gunn: "And then what?"
Cordelia: "And then what nothing. Standing, talking, boom - knocked on our butts."
Gunn: "You think something else came out of there?"
Cordelia: "Hello? Face down. Knocked out?"
Lorne: "It's been like that all day! One of the nasty side effects of specializing in dimensional magic. What I wouldn't do for a lasso and some crazy glue."
Angel: "Okay. - Steven. - It's a good name. - Not Irish, but..."
Angel: "Don't run away from me, alright? I lost you once already. - There's just - there's just so much I wanna know, so much I need to know. - Okay?... You been okay? I mean - what was it like there? - Did you have any friends? - Okay, I mean, not friends. It's not like you were at summer camp. I mean, you were stuck in a - hell dimension. - Connor - I'm so sorry. I tried to get you back. I did. I tried to come after you. I would have done anything. I just... I just... I couldn't find a way in."
Connor: "I found a way out."
Angel: "Yeah. - You did. - You sure did. - I should've - I should've tried harder. I - I shouldn't've quit. But you're back. And - and - and that's what's important, you know? You - you came back to me.I wanna know everything, son. I wanna know everything. Everything about you, you know, what your life's been like? You - must have a million questions."
Connor: "No."
Connor: "That's what you are."
Angel: "It's part of what I am... A part I hope you will be able to accept one day."
Angel: "We can make this right."
Tyke: "You can give me a new ear?"
Angel: "Well - maybe you can wear a hat."
Meerna: "I hope this pentagram wasn't some dark attempt to close the fissure."
Gunn: "Ah, no, that was a dark attempt to open one... Different one. - Long story."
Meerna: "How did it open in the first place? There are no portals to Quor-toth, and for good reason. It's not a place anyone should ever go."
Fred: "I... If there aren't any portals, what is it?"
Meerna: "A tear in reality. Big cosmic no-no... Something punched its way through. Something I really don't wanna meet."
Lorne: "Should we leave, or get behind something."
Cordelia: "Can you tell if anything else came through it?"
Meerna: "Not sure. And I'm not sticking around to find out. Bye."
Angel: "Don't. Use me. I'm bigger. I'll make a better shield."
Angel: "You're not alone. - You know that, right?"
Connor: "Yeah. I know."
Holtz: "Hello, son."
Connor: "Hi, dad."
