[Sabi]

Самый шипперский эпизод 1 сезона. Там было все, о чем можно было только мечтать.
Все сцены перечислять не буду. Кому надо, все знает.

Willow: What about Angel?

Buffy: Angel? I can just see him in a relationship. 'Hi, honey, you're in grave danger. I'll see you next month.'

Willow: He's not around much, it's true.

Buffy: (looks dreamily) When he is around... it's like the lights dim everywhere else. You know how it's like that with some guys?

Эпизод открывает глаза Баффи на вампирскую натуру Энджела *разве это повод прерывать отношения с таким мужчиной?!*, и Дарла делает все возможное, чтобы двое влюбленных убили друг друга *я бы тоже ревновала*.

Buffy: Why? (gets up) Why didn't you just attack me when you had the
chance? Was it a joke? To make me feel for you and then... I've killed a lot of vampires. I've never hated one before.

Angel: Feels good, doesn't it? Feels simple.

Buffy: I invited you into my home and then you attacked my family!

Angel: Why not? I killed mine. I killed their friends... and their
friend's children... For a hundred years I offered ugly death to
everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart.

Buffy: What changed?

Angel: Fed on a girl about your age... beautiful... dumb as a post... but a favorite among her clan.

Buffy: Her clan?

Angel: Romany. Gypsies. The elders conjured the perfect punishment for me. They restored my soul.

Buffy: What, they were all out of boils and blinding torment?

Angel: When you become a vampire the demon takes your body, but it
doesn't get your soul. That's gone! No conscience, no remorse... It's an easy way to live. You have no idea what it's like to have done the
things I've done... and to care. I haven't fed on a living human being since that day.

Buffy: So you started with my mom?

Angel: I didn't bite her.

Buffy: Then why didn't you say something?

Angel: But I wanted to. I can walk like a man, but I'm not one. I
wanted to kill you tonight.

Buffy looks at her bow and back at Angel. She puts the bow down on the floor and approaches him. She offers her neck.

Buffy: Go ahead.

He just looks at her in silence.

Buffy: Not as easy as it looks.


Однако, все заканчивается поцелуем и признанием невозможности любви *тут следуют ахи и охи*

Angel: I just wanted to see if you were okay. And your mother.

Buffy: We're both good. You?

Angel: If I can go a little while without getting shot or stabbed I'll be alright. Look, this can't...

Buffy: ...ever be anything. I know. For one thing, you're, like, two
hundred and twenty-four years older than I am.

Angel: I just gotta... I gotta walk away from this.

Buffy: (nods) I know. Me, too. (whispers) One of us has to go here.

Angel: (whispers) I know.

They look at each other a moment longer and then close in to kiss. Their kiss becomes passionate. Buffy reaches her hands up to Angel's neck.
They separate.

Buffy: You okay?

Angel: It's just...

Buffy: ...painful. I know. See you around?

Buffy walks away. Angel watches her go. The camera pans down to his
chest where her cross has left a deep burn.

И при всем этом описании я все еще самый невозможный шипппер этой пары!
