Angel, Season 1

[The day after the party.]

Cordelia:
I'm so glad you came. You know how parties are. You're always worried that no one's going to suck the energy out of the room like a giant black hole of boring despair. But there you were in the clinch!

Angel:
I didn't... Boring?

Cordelia:
You used to be a person! Did you never party? Did people not gather in olden times?

Angel:
I talked to people. Laura.

Cordelia:
Okay, Laura thought you hated her. I had to tell her you were challenged.

Angel:
I don't hate her. I, I've got two modes with people: bite and avoid. Hard to shift. Plus, I can't get too close. I mean, with women...

Cordelia:
You can be nice. It's not like Laura's gonna throw you down on the living room floor and tear off all of your... Well, actually, Laura...

Angel:
I'll try harder. Still, I mean, the quiet, reserved thing, don't you think it makes me kind of... I don't know, cool?

Cordelia:
[points at Wesley, just entering] He... was cooler.

Angel:
[sits down hard on sofa] Now I'm depressed.
