Angel- Cordy (Cast)

Charisma Carpenter on Cordy:

"I think she's a little fish in a big pond. It's Cordelia having to tap into resources she's not used to. She's gonna need to depend more on her survival skills, which she learned very well living on the hellmouth in Sunnydale. I think she's gonna have to find out the sense of her character within. There'll be some growth there, and that is good. Cordelia has depth, although she usually follows it with something snotty."

Cordy Quotes:

Wesley: "Well, I have faith in Angel. If anyone can convince him to testify..."
Cordy: "Wesley, you don't change a guy like that. In fact - generally speaking - you don't change a guy. What you see is what you get. Scratch the surface and what do you find? More surface."
    ~From "Five by Five"

Cordy: "Oh, great. He spent the night with the fantasy of millions. - All alone, ‘protecting’ her."
Wesley: "You’re worried about the curse.  I wouldn’t be."
Cordy: "Hey, you weren’t around the last time Angel went mental. I, on the other hand, was on the first wave of the clean-up crew. - He knows perfect happiness, he goes evil. So don’t tell me not to worry."
    ~From "Eternity"

Cordy: "Demons, Demons, Demons. Wow. They put a lot of thought into that title."
Wesley: "It's a demon database. What would you call it?"
Cordy: "I don't know. How 'bout . . . Demon Database?"
Wesley: "Ah. A name rife with single entendre."
    ~From "The Ring"

Angel: "So, you're back."
Cordy: "Very good, Mister I-can't-tail-the-suspect-during-the-day-because-I'll-burst-into-flames Private Eye."
    ~From "The Prodigal"

Wesley: "That blade is very old, who knows what kind of corrosive effect your cooking may have on it."
Cordy: "Corrosive effect?"
Angel: "Cordelia, just put down the very sharp knife."
Wesley: "Well, they don't smell right."
Cordy: "I think Mr. Too-Much-Cologne is the pot calling the kettle stinky."
    ~From "I've Got You Under My Skin"

Angel: "Really, uh, fun party last night."
Cordy: "I'm so glad you came. You know how parties are. You're always worried that nobody's going to be around to suck the energy out of the room like a giant black hole of boring despair. But there you were, in the clinch!"
    ~From "She"

Cordy: "I'm a lot stronger than those demon surrogates thought."
Angel: "I'm startin' to learn that."
Cordy: "I learned something, too. I learned, um, men are evil? Oh, wait. I knew that. I learned that LA is full of self-serving phonies. Nope. Had that one down, too. Sex is bad?"
Angel: "We all knew that."
Cordy: "Okay, I learned that I have two people I trust absolutely with my life. And that part's new."
    ~From ">Expecting"

Cordy: "I don't care how many files you have on all the horrible things that he did back in the Powdered Wig Days. He is good now. And he is  my friend. And nothing you or anyone else can say will make me turn on a friend."
Angel: "Cordelia, he's right."
Cordy: [to Wesley] "You stake him, and I'll cut his head off."
    ~From "Somnambulist"

Cordy: "Doyle? He drank too much, and his taste in clothing was like a Greek tragedy. And he could be really sweet sometimes. You'll like this, he was half-demon -- a secret he kept from for, like, *ever*. I guess that's the reason he sometimes smelled weird."
    ~From "Parting Gifts"

Cordy: "What do you think I am, superficial?! I mean, you're half demon. That is so far down the list -- way under short ... and poor."
    ~From "Hero"

Cordy: "This plant was thriving just this morning. Now look at it. I'm telling you, where she leads, dark forces follow."
Doyle: "Buffy gave it mites?"
Cordy: "How else do you explain it?"
Doyle: "Jealousy?"
Cordy: "I'm jealous of her? Please!"
Doyle: "Just a theory."
    ~From "I Will Remember You"

Cordy: "All of a sudden rich and handsome isn't enough for me. Now I expect a guy to be all brave and interesting. And it's your fault! Both of you!"
    ~From "The Bachelor Party"

Angel: "Cordelia, you need to..."
Cordy: "No! I don't care what horrible thing is about to happen -- asteroids are hurtling towards Earth, unspeakable evil is rising in the San Fernando Valley, Jar Jar is getting his own talk show, whatever -- I don't want to hear about it. Not 'til you ask us how it went."
Angel: "... call your mother back."
    ~From "Sense and Sensitivity"

Cordy: "I'm not a sniveling, whining little cry-Buffy. I'm the nastiest girl in Sunnydale history. I take crap from no one! . . . Back off Polygrip!! You think you're bad? All mean and haunty? Picking on poor pathetic Cordy. Well, get ready to haul your wrinkly translucent ass outta this place, cuz lady... the Bitch is back."
    ~From "Room With a View"

Doyle: "We just need the income to pay for the out-go around here."
Cordy: "I know Angel's been working day and night to help people fight their personal demons. But I need a raise."
Doyle: "A raise? You've been working for him for, what, 20 minutes?"
Cordy: "A month. And I have needs."
Doyle: "Needs?"
Cordy: "A person... needs... certain... designer... things."
Doyle: "Personally, I don't think you need much in the way of clothes"
    ~From "I Fall to Piece"

Cordy: "And she didn't even send a note? Wow, that's really.... this is one of those times when I should shy away from the topic, isn't it?"
    ~From "In the Dark"

Cordy: "I guess the single life is particularly tough on you."
Angel: "Why?"
Cordy: "Well, a couple hundred years ago, the only thing you had to worry about was a hangover. Today, because of your curse thingy, you can't sleep with anyone or else you might feel a moment of true happiness and lose your soul, become evil -- again -- and kill everyone."
Angel: "Thanks Cordelia. I always appreciate your perspective."
Cordy: "Hey, the last thing I want is to show up at the office and find that I'm working for a homicidal monster."
    ~From "Lonely Hearts"

Cordy: "Oh god. I'm sorry. I'm getting all weepy in front of you. I probably look really scary. I finally get invited to a nice place with... no mirrors... and .... lots of curtains.... Hey, you're a vampire! . . . I'm from Sunnydale. We have our own Hellmouth! I think I know a vampire when I... am... alone with him in his fortress like home, and you know I think I'm just feeling a little light-headed from hunger. I'm just wacky! And kidding!"
    ~From "City Of"
