Relaties

Cordelia Chase

In Buffy kregen Cordelia en Wesley een aarzelende romance die eindigde in de stunteligste kus ooit op tv vertoond. In Los Angeles veranderen ze alletwee en worden ze meer een soort familie, krijgen ze een soort broer en zus verhouding.

ANGEL:
So, we are talking about the same Cordelia Chase, right?

WESLEY:
That's correct.

ANGEL:
Knowing her...

WESLEY:
But you don't. You don't know her at all. For months now you haven't cared to. Otherwise you might have realized that our Cordelia has become a very solitary girl. She's not the vain, carefree creature she once was... Well, certainly not carefree. - It's the visions, you see. The visions that were meant to guide you. You could turn away from them. She doesn't have that luxury. She knows and experiences the pain in this city, and because of who she is, she feels compelled to do something about it. - It's left her little time for anything else. - You'd have known that - if you hadn't had you head firmly up your... place that isn't on top of your neck

Unnamed Bleached Blonde

WESLEY:
Angel, you can't just, sniff a person and know...

ANGEL:
You had sex last night, with a bleached blonde.

WESLEY:
Good Lord! How'd you...?

CORDELIA:
That's unbelievable. I didn't think you ever had sex.

Virginia Bryce

Als stoere zelfstandige beschermer is Wesley de man waar ze verliefd op is. Maar het bestrijden van het kwaad is een gevaarlijke bezigheid. Als Wesley neergeschoten wordt door een zombie politie agent realiseert Virginia zich dat ze daar eigenlijk niet tegen kan.

VIRGINIA:
I don't know. - But sometimes I feel like I should be wrapped in bandages - to keep *my* insides from falling out.

WESLEY (swallowing):
This is difficult for you, isn't it?

VIRGINIA:
I just don't like to see you hurt.

WESLEY:
No. - I mean - I mean breaking up with me.

Virginia looks up at Wesley, but doesn't say anything.

Lilah Morgan

Het begint als een soort machtsspelletje met sensuele ondertonen. De sex gaat de boventoon voeren, maar ze willen niet erkennen dat er langzaam meer groeit omdat de ander eigenlijk een verpersoonlijking van het vijandige kamp is. Als ze meer om elkaar geven proberen ze alletwee de ander over te halen naar hun eigen kant te komen.

LILAH
It's not a secret.

WESLEY
What isn't a secret?

LILAH
Us. The firm knows that we're... doing this.

WESLEY
Isn't it their job to know this sort of thing. The sordid details of their employees lives.

LILAH
Mmm... Yeah, I just thought I should tell you. Sordid. Rrreow. Angel knows too.

WESLEY
I don't work for Angel anymore. And I could care less what he thinks.

LILAH
You faker. That's what you said when he was sleeping with the fishes. We both know how that played out.

WESLEY
That was different. So Angel knows about our relationship. (Lilah's eyes flash open) Big deal.

LILAH
(climbs on top of him, she's wearing a slinky red nightgown) A dollar. You owe me a dollar.

WESLEY
Oh, damn!

LILAH
You called this a relationship. (kisses his forehead) You lost the bet. (Wes grabs his wallet off the bedside table) You said it first. (Wesley hands her a dollar) Sign it first, as proof.

WESLEY
Proof of what?

LILAH
Of now. Of this.

Winnifred Burkle ("Fred")

De vrouw van zijn leven eigenlijk, waar hij na jarenlange verering eindelijk een relatie mee krijgt Hij houdt zoveel van haar - en mag maar zo kort van haar genieten...

WESLEY
I should ask you. You seem unutterably cheery.

GUNN
I am. I am. Look, I gotta be straight with you 'cause this is kinda blowin' my mind.

WESLEY
Tell me.

GUNN
Fred and I are getting back together. She was so keyed up from last night's fight, she asked me over. We ended up talking for hours like old times, then, all of a sudd— I can't even keep this up 'cause your face is gonna make me weep. Wes, I am so messin' with you.

WESLEY
I— Oh... No, I...

GUNN
Come on. Brother gets a dig in. That's my right.

WESLEY
So, you know about—

GUNN
It's on every Blackberry in the building. No secrets in the House of Pain.

WESLEY
And... is that all right...with you? Fred and me?

GUNN
Last year, you wouldn't ask me that question. The man becomes civilized. It's cool. Our thing's long done, and I know how you feel about her.

WESLEY
Thank you.

GUNN
And to add the necessary boilerplate, you ever hurt her, I'm gonna kill ya like a chicken.
