Connor Quotes:
Connor: I didn't feel anything! I can't feel anything. I guess I really am your son... 'cause I'm dead, too.
Angel: You're not dead. You're just starting your life and —
Connor: No, you just weren't there before!
Angel: I know. I'm so —
Connor: Do not say you're sorry! Doesn't fix anything.
Angel: Ok, look, let me say this. I love you, son.
Connor: It's a lie.
Angel: It's not.
Connor: It's always a lie. My dead mother couldn't even love me.
Angel: You're wrong. She did.
Connor: No. No. She knew she couldn't.
Angel: She sacrificed herself because she loved you.
Connor: You tried to love me. At least I think you did.
Angel: I still do.
Connor: But not enough to hang on, dad. You let him take me. You let him get me. You let him get me.
~From: "Home"
Connor: I wanted to see you again. I had to, to know that you're still here... with me. I'm sorry I haven't —- It's started, Cordy. The new beginning. Just wish you'd wake up and see it. Just what you wanted. I mean... it is what you wanted, right? Why you came to me? You know...what this was all about? Protecting our baby -— Jasmine -— so she can...be, and make this world the... the kind of place you wanted. And it is better. Not harsh and cruel -— the way that Angel likes it so he has a reason to fight. 'Cause you know that's what he's about, him and the others. Finding reasons to fight. Like that's what gives their lives any meaning. The only damn thing! I'm not like them. I just... I want to stop. Stop fighting. I just want to rest. God, I want to rest. But I can't. It's not working, Cordy. I tried. I tried to believe. I wanted it. Went along with the... the flow. Jasmine, she's...she's bringing peace to everyone, purging all of their hate and anger. But not me. Not me! I know she's a lie. Jasmine. My whole life's been built on them. I just... I guess I thought this one was better than the others.
~From: "Peace out"
Jasmine: There's a part of you that you've kept from me -- your pain.
Connor: I don't understand.
Jasmine: Pain has been the only constant in your life, the one thing that has never abandoned you. You think that pain is yours to keep and bear alone. But it's not. I want it. I want everything you are. Connor, father, let it go. Let me have it.
~From: "Sacrifice"
Angel: How old were you when you realized you could track like this?
Connor: I don't know. Five, six. We didn't exactly celebrate birthdays in Quor-Toth. Holtz made up a game so I could practice.
Angel: What do you mean he'd hide things for you to find?
Connor: Kind of. He'd tie me to a tree and then run away.
Angel: What?
Connor: You know, so I'd have to escape and then find him. One time it only took me five days.
Angel: Five days. He abandoned you... Connor, that's terrible. That's --
Connor: Why I'm so good at tracking.
~From: "The Magic Bullet"
Connor: Why me?
Jasmine: I needed a unique soul to help create me. Yours. Even before you were born, I chose you to be my father. And now we're going to transform the world.
Connor: But my father -- he's the champion.
Jasmine: Everything has its season. It's your time, Connor. Your destiny.
~From: "Shiny Happy People"
Connor: My mother's dead.
Darla: And I'll always be a part of you. You shared your soul with me once when you were growing inside of me when I'd lost my own. You brought light to my shadow, filled my heart with joy and love. I'd never felt so close to any living thing as I did to my beautiful boy.
Connor: Why'd you leave me? Did you hate me that much?
Darla: Baby, no. I wanted to be with you more than anything.
Connor: You killed yourself. I wasn't even born yet. And you …
Darla: … did what I had to. My life for yours. I did so many terrible things, Connor, so much destruction, so much pain. You were the one good thing I ever did. The only good thing. I'd die every day for the rest of eternity for you.
~From: "Inside Out"
Cordy: Think about it. You sinking Angel to the bottom of the ocean. Getting kicked out of the house. Me not knowing who I was and coming to you for help. All of those moments and a million others led to this miracle.
Connor: But sending me down to the basement. I had the stake. What was the reason for that?
Cordy: I thought our baby was in danger, and all my instincts told me that killing Angelus was the only way to protect it.
Connor: But you were wrong.
Cordy: What's important is that when I needed help, you were there for me. Now I know I can trust you. Completely. No matter what. See? Everything happens for a reason.
~From: "Players"
Willow: Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son.
Connor: It's Connor.
Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?
~From: "Orpheus"
Connor: I know what we have to do. Angel told me. Something goes wrong, I kill him.
Lorne: Oh ho ho. Now you listen to him?
~From: "Salvage"
Connor: Doesn't make sense.
Wes: What doesn't?
Connor: Angelus would want to feed, but his scent ends here, and it's not a highly populated area.
Gunn: It ends here? Somebody pick him up?
Connor: He would go to the place where he could wreak the most damage.
~From: "Calvary"
Cordy: Connor? The sun should be up. It’s different, isn’t it? Dead demons are just a big blob of oozing mess. Vampires turn into dust like they were never anything at
all. But humans… it’s different.
Connor: That’s not…
Cordy: What?
Connor: The family…
~From: "Soulless"
Angel: Be careful.
Connor: Why? Nothing in this world is the way it ought to be, right? It’s harsh and cruel… because of you!
Angel: This isn’t the place for this.
Connor: It’s your fault. All your fault! I never should have been born!
Angel: Grow up! You think you’re the only one who ever felt like that? Wished his father were dead?
Connor: Yeah, but mine already is.
~From: "Awakening"
Connor: How do you know I’ll be here when you get back? Aren’t you afraid I’m going to run off and join the demon?
Cordy: I trust you, Connor.
~From: "Long Day's Journey"
Connor: He looks dead.
Angel: He is dead. Technically undead. He's a zombie.
Connor: What's a zombie?
Angel: An undead thing.
Connor: Like you?
Angel: No. Zombies are slow, dim-witted things that crave human flesh.
Connor: Like you.
Angel: No - it's different. Trust me. C'mon.
Connor: Why are they doing this? Why are they zombies?
Angel: I don't know, but we need to find the others.
~From: "Habeas Corpses"
Connor: I should've tried harder. I should've stopped it.
Cordy: It was too strong. This isn't your fault.
Connor: What if it is? What if that thing is ... chose the place where I was born. Is that why it's here—because of me?
Cordy: No.
Connor: I was never supposed to happen. The child of two vampires. What if—
Cordy: Connor, it's not you.
~From: "Rain of Fire"
Liam: I'm supposed to be evil. But they attack me without cause. They gang up on me because I'm different. They're as bad as my father.
Connor: Fathers. Don't they suck?
Liam: Say one thing then... 'be good. Fear God. Do as you're told.' And all the while I know good and well he's had his share of sinning.
Connor: Sounds kind of like my father.
Liam: Is he a self-righteous bastard?
Connor: You'd be amazed.
~From: "Spin the Bottle"
Connor: She's safe. I can take care of Cordelia. Can I go?
Angel: Sure. Sorry. Wait. You should take her fuzzy slippers. Her feet get cold.
Connor: I know. She's always stealing the covers.
~From: "Supersymmetry"
Cordy: This is home? If you're Angel's son, why don't you live with him?
Connor: They didn't tell you? I sunk him to the bottom of the ocean... to punish him.
Cordy: You're serious.
Connor: I tried to kill you too. I was new to this world. Didn't understand. Put a knife to your throat. Sorry.
~From: "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"
Vampire: Nothing human can move that fast. What are you?
Connor: Don't know yet. But I know what you are...and what to do with you. That'll do for now.
~From: "The House Always Wins"
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all.
Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.
~From: "Ground State"
Angel: So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.
Connor: You deserved worse.
Angel: Because I killed Holtz? Except I didn't. I tried telling you that while you were busy offshore dumping me, but I didn't know the whole score. Holtz killed himself. Actually, he had your buddy Justine do it with an ice pick. Just to make you hate me.
Connor: Even if - you still deserved it.
~From: "Deep Down"
Connor: Killing is too good for you. You get to live...forever.
~From: "Tomorrow"
Connor: Father. He was everything you said. He tried to trick me. Thought he could deceive me by saving people. But it didn't work. I've seen his true face.
Holtz: And I've seen yours.
~From: "Benediction"
Connor: Come on, show me! Show me the face you used to kill my father's family. Show me! Come on! Show me!
Angel: Looks like this, son.
Connor: That's what you are.
Angel: It's part of what I am. A part I hope you will be able to accept one day.
Connor: You'd have to kill me first.
~From: "A New World"
Connor: Hi dad.
~From: "The Price"
