We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Another favorite moment: Anya G.'s recap of Billy. Best. Recap. Ever.

Angel: "Billy"

This recap was brought to you by Gender Absolutists R Us and The Fight Club For Wommyn: Wanna Feel Our Rage? (TM)

Billy: I'm pretty evil, you know.
Lilah: He's pretty evil, you know.
Gavin Park: I'm not so shabby myself, you know.
Lilah: You can stop beating me now.
Gavin Park: I know.

Cordy: A woman just got hideously murdered.
Wesley: Well, well, well. Another night of American television.

Cordy: Hey, it's that evil guy we freed. Guiltfest?
Angel: Eh.
Cordy: Since when?

Angel: Billy is evil. You should ditch him.
Lilah: No. Too powerful. They even name chairs after him at Ikea.

Billy: Yeah. I'm a tad evil.
Policeman: You are a tad arrested.
Policewoman: Dude, the traffic.
Policeman: Women can't drive.
Policewoman: I have issues with the simplistic way in which you are gendering this discourse.
Policeman: You used "gender" as a verb. I have no choice but to kill you.

Cordy: What is Billy's problem?
Lilah: Primordial mysogyny.
Cordy: A primordial condition which can only exist in a social context? Bwahahaha! Oh, you are serious.
Lilah: Men are beasts, see?
Cordy: But Lilah, the effort to identify the enemy as singular in form is a reverse-discourse that uncritically mimics the strategy of the oppressor instead of offering a different set of terms.
Lilah: Men love death... Men especially love murder. In art they celebrate it, and in life they commit it.
Cordy: Xanax, Ms. Dworkin?

Wesley: Give me back my broken night. My mirrored room, my secret life.
Fred: Wuh?
Wesley: It's lonely here. There is no one left to torture.
Fred: Uhm...
Wesley: Give me back the Berlin wall. Give me Stalin and St. Paul. Then lie beside me, baby, and that's an order.
Fred: Lemme guess. You've seen the future and it's murder?
Wesley: Sometimes I remind myself of the entire Manson Family.
Fred: The mojo only works on manly people. Are you sure you're homicidal?
Wesley: Ask my hatchet.

Fred: I knew I should have taken that Wendo class.
Gunn: Gonna smack you up, bitch.
Fred: There will be no Dr. Dreing on these premises.
Gunn: Ow, my head.
Wesley: Heeeeere's Johnny!
Hole In The Floor: Sucker!

Billy: Dumb chicks.
Cordy: Dumb chicks with weapons.
Angel: So does it work on trannies?
Billy: This question is outside of the theoretical framework of this episode.
Angel: Let's fight like men always do.
Billy: Is your urge to kill rising?
Angel: Shit. No. Should I be having a gender identity crisis?
Lilah: I've thought out my thesis to its logical conclusion. Billy, you are so damn dead.
Cordy: Alright! Go, Ms. Solanas.

Fred: Are you over it?
Wesley: Fuck, no.
Fred: Would you like some ice cream and an issue of Cosmopolitan?

Next week on the WB: Angel has to decide whether the problematic of reproduction is central to the sexing of the vampiric body. Darla investigates the relationship between the signifier and the signified in the popular expression "barefoot and pregnant". Monique Wittig arm-wrestles with Ruth Shalit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, you guys are almost making me teary.

Pretty much all my faves have been mentioned, but I'll add the windows blowing out of the Hyperion in "Untouched."

Oh, and is it just me, or did no one specifically mention Angel kicking Russell out the window in "City of..."? Cause I think that's where the show had me.

"Can you fly?"

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Angel: So does it work on trannies?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Loved the Shempire in "The Trial":

Darla: "Weird? It's mythic!"
Shempire: "You been readin' too much Anne Rice, lady."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Fred: The mojo only works on manly people. Are you sure you're homicidal?
Wesley: Ask my hatchet.

So. Best.

Oh, yes "Can you fly?" When I realized that we weren't working with the same "I'm good so I can't do what I want to you" tropes. Still, Russell was a vampire. Lindsay never went through any windows. Angel thought up new stuff for him.

The evil is this way?

Angel thought up new stuff for him.

And now, my mind has gone to the porny corner. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Beyond the capacity for rational thought. Just sitting in the corner nodding as the memories scroll by. Trying not to cry. Waving hello to the de-lurkers, loving the ones of you I've taken this ME journey with, for years, for board after board, for months, for weeks.

Not enough time.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Wes telling Angel to "hop on board" his bike and giving him the pink helmet to wear. So one better than I will have the real quote, I suspect.

"Don't be a PAINBOW" THWACK "When you can be a rainbow" BAM

Annnnnnd, I'm sure I got that one wrong too.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Perhaps the best part of the "painbow" line was, (I think ) Angel did little "finger quotes" when he said it.

This ep also had his great "I don't want to vamp out." ramble.
