Magev to Angel: Why are you holding back? Why can't you let go? from Guise Will Be Guise (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Angel and Magev are staff-fighting on a covered bridge.)
MAGEV: You're holding back. What are you afraid off?
ANGEL: Nothing.
MAGEV: You're whimping. This isn't River Dance. Fight!
ANGEL: I am fighting!
MAGEV: Yourself. You're fighting yourself. Fight me! Why are you holding back? Why can't you let go?
ANGEL: Because.
MAGEV: Why?
ANGEL: If I let it, it'll kill you.
MAGEV: It?
ANGEL: (disengages and steps back) The demon.
MAGEV: Ha! But the demon is you!
ANGEL: No.
MAGEV: Yes! That's the thing you spend so much energy trying to conceal!
ANGEL: No, I just -- I can't let it control me.
MAGEV: Ah. I see. (Hits Angel's knee, then hooks the staff behind his legs, dropping him) You *don't* think it controls you?
