David Denman: Skip

Quotes 

• Angel : How come he's not screamin' in pain.

  Skip : Oh, he is. My will prevents him from bein' heard. I mean, there's only so many, "Oh, my God! The pain! Please make it stops..." you can listen to, before it starts to bug the crap out of you.

  Angel : I see your point.

• Skip : Hi.

  Angel : Hi.

  Skip : You know you're not supposed to be here, right?

  Angel : Yeah. What about him?

  [points to prisoner] 

  Skip : Oh, him? Oh, he's supposed to be here. Do you have any idea how monstrous a guy's gotta be before he gets sent to us? We're a very high-end institution.

  Angel : And it's your job to keep him here?

  Skip : Yeah.

  [extends hand] 

  Skip : I'm Skip.

  Angel : Angel.

  [pause] 

  Angel : So... ah... you live in here, Skip?

  Skip : No, I commute. It's not too bad, though. About twenty minutes.

  [pause] 

  Angel : What keeps him in the fire?

  Skip : My will.

• Skip : [sniffing]  You're a vampire, right? How come it smells like you work for The Powers That Be?

  Angel : Because I do.

  Skip : But you're here to try to rescue this guy? But, we're on the same side. Shouldn't you be helping to keep him in here?

  Angel : I know, I know. Long story. Involves a girl. I don't like it any better than you do.

  Skip : So, I really can't talk you out of this.

  Angel : Sorry. I wish you could. I guess we'll just have to agree to...

  [Skip hits Angel across the room] 

  Angel : ...argh disagree.
