Cordelia: I ca n't stay . This is n't me anymore . You can say good - bye to the gang for me , explain everything once you understand .
Angel: That 's gon na be never . I - I need you here .
Cordelia: Do n't make it hard , Angel . I 'm just on a different road ... and this is my off - ramp . The Powers That Be owed me _ one _ , and I did n't waste it . I got my guy back on track .
