Locked in a box

Locked in a box

The following dialogue is from 5.20 The Girl In Question:

Spike: “Can’t we just… lock her away in a box where no one can ever touch her? You know? Like we did with Pavayne?”
Angel: “I don’t think she’d let us. Uh, she’s pretty strong.”

Spike is referring to Matthias Pavanye’s punishment in 5.04 Hell Bound.

Angel: “Sure it’ll hold him?”
Eve: “Permanent storage. If there’s anything Wolfram & Hart excels at, it’s keeping their unmentionables unmentioned.”
Angel (to Pavayne): “Congratulations. You get to live forever, unable to move, to touch, or to feel… or to affect anything in the world around you. But don’t worry—I had ‘em give you a window. Welcome to hell.”

    Oh, how I loved that tiny bit of exchange in The Girl in Question ! Even though it’s rather silly (like the rest of this great episode), it is also very touching.
    I mean, look at them, those two tough guys. Together they’ve pretty much destroyed and saved the world a half-dozen times, and still, they’re in absolute awe of a tiny slip of a blonde girl they could probably lift with one hand. Particularly Angel ; I love how proud he is of her strength (it was another small lovely moment in Chosen : Angel letting Buffy fight Caleb on her own, and smiling like a little boy who’s just seen his superhero appear.)

    Great moment:

    ANGEL: “God, I’ve missed watching this.”

    Another small thing : it just occurred to me that Angel has a first-hand experience of the punishment he inflicts to Pavayne. (He was himself locked in a box by Connor in Deep Down)
