Quotes:

Demon Bouncer: [Angel and Spike start fighting his bodyguards] Oh, look, the Americans are relying on violence to solve their problems. What a surprise.

This is a civilized country. We do these things all the time. Somebody gets kidnapped, somebody pays the money. Everybody goes home happy

This is one of those episodes that grows on you after repeatedly rewatching it. I was one of those people who hated it the first time. Mostly because it didn't carry on the storyline. But it's actually much better than you'd think, the dialog is great, it has some downright hilarious scenes. My favorites are 'Angel' and 'Spike' riding that motorcycle, the fight scene at the bar and of course that flashback with 'Spike' and 'Drusilla' in Italy. I also liked the woman who ran Italy's W&H - The Gypsies are filthy people PTUEY And we shall speak of them no more!. Another storyline that worked was 'Illyria's changing into 'Fred', once again the blue-bird proved to be the most interesting character this season. Great episode all around, you just need to 'get it'. ANGEL: I stopped Acathla. That saved the world. CONNOR: Buffy ran you through with a sword! ANGEL: Yeah, but I made her do it. I signaled her with my eyes. (9.0 out of 10)
