Quotes
SIRK: You didn't read the prophecy.
ANGEL: I didn't?
SIRK: You read a translation of the prophecy. It's like comparing the King James Bible with the original Aramaic or Hebrew. Much of the flavor, the subtlety of usage, the historical context has been stripped away. (Scoffs, looking at Angel) "Read the prophecy". You may as well have read a 12-year-old's book report on the subject.
GUNN: (to Angel) I miss Wesley.  Destiny
 Destin
 Der Kelch der Qual
