Quotes 

• Cordelia : You'll get through this, Doyle. Nice guys don't always finish last.

  Allen Francis Doyle : You think I'm a nice guy?

  Cordelia : I think it, I say it. It's my way.

• [Doyle saved Cordelia from a vampire] 

  Cordelia : You were so... brave.

  Allen Francis Doyle : You think you could say that again without so much shock in your voice? You're steppin' on my moment of manliness here.

  Cordelia : I'm sorry, I'm just, uh...

  Allen Francis Doyle : Surprised?

  Cordelia : Grateful.

• Cordelia : I was thinking that, uh, maybe I haven't been entirely fair to you. Maybe you don't actually have *zero* potential.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Wow, Cordelia. Thanks.

• Allen Francis Doyle : [about Cordelia]  She's not going to fall for my ample but unpretentious charms, is she?

  Angel : Unless by some unpretentious means you don't like to brag about your family's old money.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Hey, the only money in my family is underneath the couch cushions. Not to mention the fact that half of them are demons.

• Cordelia : Hi, Doyle. Are you gonna become loser pining guy, like, full time now? 'Cuz, you know, we already have one of those around the office.

  Angel : Hey.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Hey.

  Cordelia : He can get away with it. He's tall, and-and look at the way clothes hang on him. But you...

  Angel : O-Okay. I think you've cheered us up enough.

• [after one of Doyle's visions] 

  Allen Francis Doyle : There's a young guy.

  Angel : Where?

  Allen Francis Doyle : Vampires have a nest downtown. Poor kid's gonna be the entrée.

  Angel : Let's go. Come on.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Everybody's got dinner plans but us.

• Allen Francis Doyle : You're marryin' that guy?

  Harriett 'Harry' Doyle : I know, it's wild, huh? I'm definitely the yin to his yang, but it works. He's got a good heart, Francis, just like you.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Yeah, maybe, but the container? Can I get a side of bland with that bland?

• Allen Francis Doyle : He's a demon? And she's all signed on to be Mrs. Demon? Tell me again how ugly he is.

• Allen Francis Doyle : So that's it then? That's your exciting plan for this evening? A book?

  Angel : I get enough excitement.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Yeah - of the evil-fighting variety. How about a little off-duty fun?

  Angel : Such as?

  Allen Francis Doyle : Two beautiful words: Sports Bar!

  [Angel gives him a look] 

  Allen Francis Doyle : Come on! You know they have Trivia games on the Internet now? You can challenge against drunks around the world. Anything, please! I just can't sit around here while...

  Cordelia : [Coming in]  While I steal into the night with my incredibly-more-wealthy-than-you prince?

• Angel : [Reading from a book]  Here it is - Ano-movic. Once a nomadic tribe. At one time they did have violent leanings...

  Allen Francis Doyle : There! I knew this nice guy routine was just an act. He's working a spell on her. She gonna sprout hubcaps from her head or something.

  Angel : But they gave up those orthodox teachings, - language, - around the turn of the century.

  [closes the book and puts it down] 

  Angel : Now they own a number of restaurants with pretty expensive windows.

• Richard Straley : You're not trying to back out, are you? Not after you gave your blessing.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Yeah, yeah. I take it back!

  Richard Straley : [Upset]  Oh. - Well. - I see. - Now I'm not so sure I even *want* to eat your brains!

  Rick : Don't be petulant, Richard. You'll eat his brains. He can't take back a blessing. Now, apologize to your friend.

  Richard Straley : He's right. That was rude. I'd be honored to eat your brains.

• Allen Francis Doyle : Hey, this Richard, you know, he looks like he'd give her a good life.

  Angel : Yeah

  Allen Francis Doyle : Seems like a nice - friendly fellow, don't you think?

  Angel : Definitely friendly, - only - he seemed a bit...

  Allen Francis Doyle : [Jumps up]  Exactly! I knew he was no good! And even though we're ex, I mean, it's still my duty to watch over her, right? But I can't go trailing after her intended myself. I mean, it just wouldn't look right. Angel, you think you would...?

  Angel : Yeah. Just don't tell Cordelia. - She'll wanna charge you.

• Allen Francis Doyle : Look, Richard as much as I like your family, and they're great, - honest, - I'd really prefer if they *didn't* cannibalize me.

  Richard Straley : Oh, no! You misunderstand.

  Allen Francis Doyle : [Hopeful]  I do?

  Richard Straley : Yeah. It'll just be me.

  Allen Francis Doyle : Why don't I just give you that hug and we can call it even?
