Wesley: I didn't come here to fight. I'm not your enemy. But then I've noticed you do have trouble making that distinction. You're fighting the wrong man.
Holtz: Angelus.
Wesley: No. Angel. He's not Angelus anymore. He's a good man.
Holtz: He's not even a man.
Wesley: Nevertheless - he has a soul now.
Holtz: Yes. That he might know the pain that he has inflicted on his countless victims. A brilliant curse, I must admit. Gypsies *do* have a knack for creative vengeance. Where they fail, however is in the execution of justice. And that I will have.
Wesley: If it's a sacrifice you require, take me. Angel's no more responsible for the crimes of Angelus than I am.
Holtz: Really?
Wesley: Yes.
Holtz: And was it your hands that held down my beloved Caroline as she was violated and murdered? That wrapped themselves around my son's neck and snapped it like kindling? Where yours hands that clutched at my daughter as she was turned into a creature damned for all eternity? Angelus is in his nature. The beast will re-emerge. You've seen it. You know it. And that is why you are here. You're afraid he's going to kill the child. And you're right.
