Cordelia Chase : Why is it always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : For purity, I suppose.
Cordelia Chase : This has nothing to do with purity. This is all about dominance, buddy. You can bet if someone ordered a male body part for religious sacrifice, the world would be atheist
[snaps]
Cordelia Chase : like that.
-
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Right. Enough is enough. I'm gonna march up there and tell him just that.
[stands there staring at the stairs]
Cordelia Chase : Nice posturing.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Thank you.
-
Cordelia Chase : Uh huh. Time to traipse off to your soul-sucking Hollywood party?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Premiere, actually, and I, uh, just happen to have an extra ticket...
Cordelia Chase : Who does shallow better then me?

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [reading] "On the third of this month, the museum research department received the Shroud of Rahmon, from a tomb recently unearthed by University of New Mexico archeologists".
Cordelia Chase : Okay, two words I don't like, right off the bat: tomb and unearthed. People, you've got to leave your tombs earthed!
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : The Shroud of Rahmon. Have you ever heard of it?
Cordelia Chase : I'm not big on shrouds, they're an "after-you-die" outfit.
-
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Cordelia, what happened to your head?
Cordelia Chase : Excuse me?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Your hair. It's new... it's great! When did this happen?
Cordelia Chase : Ten days ago!
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Of course. I didn't want to embarrass you by...
Cordelia Chase : Noticing? Nice suit.

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [about Angel] He doesn't seem to be doing much with his time, lately.
Cordelia Chase : Au contraire. His day is packed: Brood about Darla, brood about Darla, lunch, followed by a little Darla brooding.

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : [reading] "The shroud was woven by the head priest, said to have been driven mad by the demon himself. Once Rahmon was defeated, the priest dyed the shroud with the blood of seven virgin women, sacrificed on the first full moon, then laid it upon Rahmon's body, in order to prevent his resurrection".
Cordelia Chase : Why is always virgin women who have to do the sacrificing.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : For purity I 'spose.
Cordelia Chase : This is nothing to do with purity. This is all about dominance, buddy. You can bet that if someone ordered a male body part for religious sacrifice, the world would be atheist,
[snaps fingers]
Cordelia Chase : like that!
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : The shroud supposedly absorbed Rahmon's power.
Cordelia Chase : So he who has the shroud has the power. You said Rahmon was a drive-you-mad kinda fella?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Ooh.
Cordelia Chase : I hate it when you do that.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Once in 1803, the shroud was removed from its casing.
Cordelia Chase : And yuckiness ensued?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Well, yes. The entire population of El Encanto went insane. Mothers and children hacking one another to pieces, men roaming the streets like rabid dogs...
Cordelia Chase : I get the picture. So, in order to take his mind off the torment that is Darla, we sent Angel after a box that makes you crazy.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Worse case scenario: We'll warn Angel off it, before they steal the shroud.
Cordelia Chase : Just as soon as he comes back. Unless, of course, they're stealing it right now.

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : I even spilled it on her in front of Mr. Fat Chow... Chow.
Cordelia Chase : Chow Yun-Fat!
Angel : What? You met Chow Yun-Fat?
-
Angel : Cordelia, what happened?
Cordelia Chase : It's not blood, it's cocktail sauce. Courtesy of Mr. Star-Schmoozer here.
Angel : I mean to your head. Your hair. Well, it looks great. When did this happen?
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Ten days ago. Pay attention.

Cordelia Chase : My teeth are so big. I am pleasant.
