Lorne (like, presumably, all other members of his race) does not have five toes. edit »
When everyone is looking at Lorne's head in the sack, there is no make-up on his closed eyelids. edit »
The outfit that Cordelia is wearing should give a clear view of the tattoo on her back, but it is not visible. Most likely it was covered with makeup or digitally removed, despite the fact that the tatoo has been visible on Cordy many times. edit »
During the scene after Silas slaps Cordelia and threatens to kill her, the hand that he holds her neck with changes between the colors purple and pink throughout. edit »
When Angel is fighting the demons that are after Fred, his shirt is torn. Later when he is fighting the Groosalaug his shirt is intact. He could not have changed the shirt because he did not bring extra clothes to Pylea. edit »
During his fight with Groo, Angel's shirt goes from stained to unstained and back again several times. edit »

Fred: You'll get better with a little rest and care.
Angel: I don't think so.
Fred: Why wouldn't you?
Angel: Well, you saw what I turn into. Back in LA it's bad, but here it's...
Fred: We all got our demons. edit »
Fred: Are you sure about that?
Cordelia: Trust me. Tacos everywhere. And... soap. edit »
Cordelia: Do you mind if I hit him over the head with you?
Host: Yes! edit »
Angel: I challenge the Groosalugg to mortal combat. Come out and face me, you spineless coward!
Fred: Ooo, why did you add that coward thing? That's really gonna piss him off. edit »
Rebel: Five cheers for the other-worlders.
Wesley: Oooo, in this world you get five. edit »
Lorne: Just put me in a bag and take me to the mutilation chamber.
Cordelia: I have no idea where the multilation chamber might be, I...
Lorne: So I guess I'll just sit here and die, then. Find someone who knows! edit »
Fred: You can't go back out there, they'll kill you and you'll turn into that beast. (pause) Maybe not in that order. edit »
Lorne's Mom: I thought that you were lost to us forever, but you came back. The runt of my loins came back after raining such misery on our lives and managed to shame us even further! (Spits at Lorne)
Angel: Alright then we'll just be...
Lorne's Mom: Who is supposed to do our labor now that your cow friend has freed the slaves? Do you know what they call me at the hall of drinks and chants? Mother of the vile excrement!
Angel: Be sure to keep in touch.
Lorne's Mom: Go on misfit, go back to your world where no one knows his place. May you rot in Tarknar! edit »
Angel: Can I say it? I wanna say it.
Wesley: Say what?
Angel: There's no place like--.
(Angel opens the doors to the hotel and see a grieving Willow sitting on the couch.)
Angel: Willow?
Cordelia: What's...
Angel: It's Buffy. edit »
Lorne's Mom: (Distraught) Numfar, do the dance of shame! edit »
Angel: Look, when I fired you guys the reason I... Darkness was coming out in me. I didn't want you near it. The thing that comes out here is ten times worse. Wes - I do this - you know I won't come back from it.
Wesley: Yes, you will. I know you. (Glances over at Gunn) We know you. We know you're a man with a demon inside - not the other way around. We know you have the strength to do what needs to be done, and you will come back to us. edit »
(Right after being made leader of the rebels)
Wesley: Why do people keep putting me in charge of things?
Gunn: I have no idea. edit »
(while Cordelia screams)
Lorne: I realize this is a bit of a shock, but I can explain. Take it easy. Okay, get it out of your system. That's good. You have to breathe sometime. Good lord, shut up, woman! edit »
Lorne: Wait a second. Since when do I have five toes? edit »
Groo: It was worth it for one moment of your intimate touch.
Cordy: That was an accident. I-it was kind of dark and - oh - you mean the hug. edit »
Cordy: (to Groosalugg and Angel) Stop! Stop the fight. I love him!
Angel: You love me?
Cordy: Not you, dumbass! Him! I love him! edit »
Fred: Tacos! Sorry. I didn't mean to holler at you. I love tacos. Do-Do they still have 'em, you know, back...
Angel: Home? Yeah. They didn't outlaw tacos.
Fred: (giggles) No. Of course not. I've been trying to make an enchilada out of tree bark.
Angel: Bark enchiladas. How's that goin'?
Fred: There's work to be done. edit »
Cordy: (trying to cover up the fact Lorne's head is alive) I like the filthy head. That is... I uh,... I want to defile it more. (spits) I'll just keep it to� spit upon. And, and, when I grow tired of that� I-I- I will make it, ah, � a planter! A traitor planter for all to see, or maybe a candy dish. edit »
Lorne: My psychic friend told me I had to come back here. I didn't believe her. Then I realized I did have to come back here, because - I really always thought I had to come back here, deep down inside, you know? I had to come back here to find out I didn't have to come back here. I don't belong here. I hate it here. You know where I belong? LA. You know why? Nobody belongs there. It's the perfect place for guys like us.
Angel: That's kinda beautiful.
Lorne: Ain't it? edit »
Angel: Do I snore?
Fred: Um, I don't remember any snoring.
Angel: Good.
Fred: I remember caterwauling. edit »
Gunn: I've got a plan.
Wesley: Oh, thank God! What is it?
Gunn: We die horribly and painfully, you go to Hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.
Wesley: Oh. edit »
