1. Angel: ''So, that client I'm supposed to be meeting tonight, what's he like again?''
   Cordelia: ''Like a big baby hatching from a big egg with really large hands, in need of a manicure. You're meeting him here. Okay.''
   What a way to cover a vision up! Listen to the quote here.

Although Brandeis was founded by members of the American Jewish community, the university operates as an independent, nonsectarian institution.

6. Cordelia: ''Cause I'm ashamed of you, not to mention how you'd embarrass me by giving him the third degree.''
   Emily: ''Your boss can give me the third degree any time.''
   The third degree is long and severe questioning by police to get information or a confession.
   
   
7. Cordelia: ''Yeah, compared to my old apartment, it's Buckingham Palace.''
   Buckingham Palace is the palace and London residence of the British sovereign. It is situated within the borough of Westminster.

9. Cordelia: ''I'll play Evita around the clock. The one with Madonna!''
   Evita is a 1996 musical film about Argentenian actress and king maker Eva Peron. Lavish musical drama, based on the hit stage production by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, telling the life story of Eva Duarte who leaves her rural home for Buenos Aires in the company of Latin singer Agustin Magaldi, eventually becoming the wife of President Juan Peron and a heroine to the people of Argentina. Also reference by Willow in Nightmares.
   
   
   Madonna is a singer and actress Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, born in Michigan in 1968. Madonna's consistent ability to write a durable dance-pop tune, transform her image, co-opt subcultures, overcome setbacks, pick timely new collaborators, and titillate the media with a new twist have put her so far ahead of the competition that there is no real competition. In 1996, during the filming of Alan Parker's grandiose hit musical Evita, Madonna announced she was turning to self-replication the old fashioned way; on October 14, she gave birth to a girl, Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon, by personal fitness trainer Carlos Leon. Another film she did music for was 1999's Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, which had Seth Green, who played Daniel ''Oz'' Osborne on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel.
   
   
10. Wesley: ''As a heathen I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with the biblical story of David and Goliath, but I assure you it's of particular relevance to this situation.''
    Goliath was a character in the Bible from the 11th century B.C. He was a Philistine giant slain by David in the Philistine's war against Saul. He was slain by David's sling and pebbles. After Goliath was defeated the disheartened Philistines were easily turned away. Their story has come to represent the underdog overcoming a much more powerful foe.
