’ i somehow always thought you were a myth. ’
’ well, this was an eye-opener, i’ll tell you that. ’
’ it’s gone! the package is gone! i told you people to guard it with your life! ’

’ triangulate our location and send everything you have. ’

’ i don’t like where this is going. ’
’ at my funeral, will you get up and say something crazy awesome about my manhood? ’
’ i’ve been thinking a lot about mortality lately. ’
’ you and me out here in the middle of nowhere… ’
’ be quiet or i will tell everyone at your funeral what your favorite movie is. ’
’ because i know a lot of things about you, you know. ’
’ i’m calling it in. ’
’ we should wait for the others. ’
’ can i ask you something without sounding disrespectful? ’
’ add to this horror, the very real idea that there are others in the cosmos who have taken it upon themselves to protect you. ’
’ your world is home to powers and items of power that have no business on your planet. ’
’ is this a real grenade launcher? ’
’ you break it, you buy it. ’
’ how much for all of it? ’
’ i don’t know if you’re new to this, but this is the part where we accept your surrender. ’

’ ____, we need a better plan. ’

dark angel ask meme
all quotes are taken from season 1, episode 1: pilot. feel free to change pronouns as needed!
it’s not fair. i get back at 3am, you’re still out. i wake up and you’ve already been up, bopping around for an hour.
i think it’s working. i feel almost human.
i was an instrument of the most high.
i begged, i pleaded, i pissed, i moaned. but i gotta do what i gotta do.
wanna be rich, listen to the bitch.
okay, let’s do this.
how did you do that?
you’re not still pissed off?
try having a relationship with you, ___, it’s like staring in a fog bank. you’re trying to have something but you have no idea where you are.
you keep everyone at arm’s length like you got a big, dark secret going on.
you’re right, i was angry at you.
could you ever forgive me?
i see the perimeter defense system is still fully intact.
at least i tried.
he’s just trying to blame you because he’s a slut.
it’s just mysterious.
you have a punk-ass mouth on you, kid.
you got somethin’ for me or what.
sorry, i was nine at the time.
who’s this guy, he’s not who we were looking for.
maybe you could give me something more on her… some detail… anything…
she was nice.
yeah, that’s vague.
i think she was a nurse.
like i’m shocked to hear you say that.
i won’t hurt you!
put it down! now!
i was expecting someone else.
i’d love to hang and discuss art, but i gotta jet.
by the way, love your show.
just thought maybe he’d like some coffee with his saliva.
playing hooky again?
don’t believe everything you hear on tv.
i got to go.
i figure this is how our visitor last night got in.
if i just got my ass handed to me by a size three, i might mind my own business.
hey, we got to talk
i need your help, __.
i don’t see how you cheating on __ involves me.
i am a victim here.
does this other person have a name?
i’m a toy to her.
has it occurred to you to tell __ the truth?
look, __, i made a terrible mistake, one i’ll never make again.
i’m looking for a young lady that works here.
i say, leave __ out to dry.
we didn’t get a chance to finish our conversation last night.
sorry about your window.
let me get my coat.
how’d you find me?
so you tracked me down. what do you think?
that was an extraordinary display of athleticism last night.
we have what you might call an… intimate relationship.
bet you didn’t know your boyfriend found a little pain exciting. he didn’t either.
you’re a very understanding person. and a fool.
i’m working very hard to respect my elders here, but don’t push your luck
you rock, __. you rock!
oh she’s toxic. a monster in bed, but toxic.
none of this would’ve happened if you’d exercised a smidgeon of self restraint or good judgement, which you didn’t.
__, you home?
you ever notice how cats seem to turn up around dinnertime?
i won’t be staying.
i’m a fabulous cook.
i steal things in order to sell them for money. it’s called commerce.
i left you a present.
am i supposed to be grateful?
well if you’re that nervous, you’re welcome to stay here.
send me the bill for this, by the way.
if i made you nervous, or uncomfortable, or creeped you out…
yes, on all accounts.
i haven’t been able to get you off my mind.
c'mere, i wanna show you something.
no, i meant this. probably the most singularly beautiful face i’ve ever seen.
do you always come on this strong?
and now i think i know pretty much everything.
i don’t know what kind of game you’re playing here, but i’m out, because you’re a whack-job.
not that i don’t love a good urban legend now and again, but what does any of this have to do with me?
we got separated right away. i never knew how many of them made it.
it took me a long time afterwards to figure everything out.
you said you could help.
what’s in it for you?
your friend has reason to worry.
i didn’t make it this far by looking for trouble.
are you high?
i’ve got people looking to either put me in a cage for the rest of my life, turn me into a science project, or kill me. probably all three.
what happened?
whoever tossed this place, they were just trying to make it look like a robbery.
but if i were you, i’d take the money, and get out of town while i can.
he’s dead.
lovely of you to join us.
…and you want me to believe in happenstance?
nurses beat me to it.
damn. are you alright?
can you help me get her back?
your basic renaissance dirtbag.
this isn’t my usual line of work, i’m making it up as i go.
it’s not what it looks like.
do you ever have to do something you really don’t want to do?
girl, you work that dress.
i’m on a break.
guess again.
the only thing better than four queens, is five.
give us a minute. now.
who are you?
gonna put me on your christmas card list?
you’re a player. i’m bringing you this on a plate. my fee is just the cost of doing business.
i have sincere eyes.
can you put that in a bag or something?
you better hope you’re as smart as you think you are.
you know that whole thing about the pliers… i never would’ve done it.
actually, i kinda uh… think you’re pretty cool.
you’re smart, you’re hot. you’ve got a wicked sense of humor.
yeah… you got a bad attitude.
see what you don’t know is that you’re already in the last two minutes in your life.
pathetic. c'mon, you’re not even trying.
it’s embarrassing to the professional community.
don’t touch my ass, man.
just give it to me, i’ll remember
i’m on my way.
i want a full perimeter seal. no one goes in til i say so.
okeydokey?
drop your weapons, now!
delivery!
keep your money, man. we can take care of our own.
i’ll make sure his family gets this.
i see you’re back at it. rockin’ the boat.
i would’ve come sooner. but i didn’t.
i’ve never been much for figuring out why bad things happen. they just do.
i need a favor.
you can keep this. i really don’t have any place to put it.
i need you to do a little legwork for me.
i got my own problems.
look, one thing i’m not is a chump.
he escaped custody after four hours.
and now he figures i’m gonna go and do the right thing because i owe him. like i even care.
