Lines by Darla 5
[Cut to the barmaid at the tavern smiling as Angel picks her up. Cut to Darla scratching her chest to make it bleed. Cut to the barmaid. Cut to Darla in the alley. Cut to the Barmaid feeding Angel some grapes.]]
Darla
You know what to do. Darling boy.
[Cut to Angel following Darla into the alley.]
Darla
I could show you – things you've never seen.
[Darla bites him and his eyes pop open. His knees give out and Darla pushes his mouth on top of the bloody scratch on her chest.]
Darla
God doesn't want you... but I still do.
Darla
It's been four centuries since I've had to be afraid of anything. And now I'm sick with it.
Darla
Well, you know what they say... life's full of surprises.
[Darla leaves the bar revealing her incredibly pregnant belly.]
Darla
That's why this is happening. [About Holtz] His family, his children... what that must have been like for him. Doesn't seem so funny now, does it?
Scenes with Darla 69
[Liam brawls with manic abandon.]
Darla
Who is he?
BMBar maid
Who, that one?
Darla
Yes. He's magnificent.
BMBar maid
Ooh yah, God's gift, all right.
Darla
Really! I've never known God to be so generous.
BMBar maid
Oh, his lies sound pretty when the stars are out, but he forgets every promise he's made when the sun comes up again.
Darla
That wouldn't really be a problem for me, actually.
Darla
This contest is ended, is it.
Darla
Are you sure?
Of course. I proved who had the power here.
Darla
You think?
Darla
Your victory over him took but moments.
[looks back at his dead father] Yes?
Darla
But his defeat of you will last lifetimes.
What are you talking about? He can't defeat me now.
Darla
Nor can he ever approve of you, in this world, or any other. What we once were informs all that we have become. The same love will infect our hearts, even if they no longer beat. Simple death won't change that.
Love. [looks around at his dead family] Is this the work of love?
Darla
Darling boy. So young, still so very young.
[Borsa, Romania 1898. Darla follows a blindfolded Angelus into a house.]
Can I take off this blindfold yet?
Darla
No.
[grabs Darla around the waist] Can I take off something else?
Darla
After I give you your present. [They kiss] You can never have enough of those. Come on.
[She leads him into another room, then takes his blindfold off. A gagged girl lies in front of a fireplace.]
Darla
Happy birthday, Angelus.
Darla
I looked everywhere.
What would I do without you?
Darla
Wither and die. [They kiss] She is not just for you. I get to watch.
[Angelus goes and leans down over the girl. He pushes her skirt up while she squirms, then vamps out and bites her thigh while Darla watches.]
Darla
Angelus? Are you here? Angelus?
[She walks into the other room. Angel is huddled up against a wall.]
Darla
What?
When you kill them. Some just stand there frozen while others...
Darla
What are you doing? Are we playing a game?
The children, they usually scream.
Darla
[smiling] Hmm, yes. They sound just like little pigs. Have you brought me some? What you don't think I'll share? I can't believe that you would think I'm that insensitive.
[Angel turns away from the wall, looking ragged.]
We've drunk and killed for how long now? 140-odd years. We've drunk them all up and they're all dead.
Darla
Where have you been?
Darla
What is this? Have you met someone else?
[Angel takes a hold of her shoulders and leans against her.]
Darla
No. Let go! [Pushes him away] Let go of me! What happened to you? Angelus, what happened?
That gypsy girl you brought me...her people found out. They did something to me.
Darla
A spell?
Funny. You would think with all the people I've maimed and killed I wouldn't be able to remember every single one. [Darla walks up to him.] Help me.
Darla
The spell...they gave you a soul! A filthy soul! No! [Scratches his cheek.] You're disgusting!
[Darla picks up a wooden chair to ward him off.]
Darla
No! Get away from me!
[Darla smashes the chair and picks up one of the legs and tries to stake Angel, but he avoids it.]
Darla
You're not like anything! Get away from me! Get out! [Angel stumbles out of the house] I'll kill you!"
[Angel runs out of the house but looks back one last time at Darla standing in the doorway with a stake still raised. He leaves, Darla lowers the stake.]
Darla
Hm. He's here.
Angel. He's here in town. You can feel him.
Darla
Always could.
He hasn't been much of a help to us.
Darla
He killed me. [Laughs] I remember now...with a soul in his heart.
He's taken from both of us so when you feel ready we'll start thinking about giving a little back.
Darla
Angel. It's been a long time. I'd love to see that boy.
I still can't believe you're here. I mean...I killed you.
Darla
I'm over that. You haven't told anyone else about these dates of ours, have you?
No. I want you all for myself.
Darla
I know how you feel.
Darla
But good.
[They kiss as the song ends.]
Somebody get these two love-vamps a room!
[She takes a piece of ice out of her drink and draws a line with it down the middle of Angel's chest. He starts to laugh.]
Why are you so good to me - after everything I did?
Darla
Because - you and I are one.
[She draws the ice cube across Angel's lips. The phone stops ringing]
Darla
See? I told you it would stop.
[She leans down and they kiss.]'
[He comes up behind Darla and wraps his arms around her.]
What are you thinking about?
[We hear a soft knocking in the background.]
Darla
You. Us.
Darla
It's just...I have to go.
Darla
Away.
Darla
You can't. I'm in danger.
[She turns around in his arms as the knocking becomes the sound of hammering.]
Darla
You're too busy protecting everyone else.
[They almost kiss, but the hammering gets louder and they look over to see Wesley putting a nail into an upright coffin.]
[Angel walks into the hotel lobby looking beat.]
Darla
Honey, you're home.
Darla
You look beat. What's wrong?
Darla
Save any lives today?
Darla
Did any of your friends say thank you?
Darla
Hmm, typical. You know, next time you see them I'm really going to say something to them.
Darla
No. It isn't. [Puts her hands on his arms] You give and you give and you give.
Darla
Always the protector, never the protected.
I have so many things to make up for.
Darla
And you have. You take care of so many people. But who takes care of you?
Darla
That's right. I do. Come on. Lean back. Now, you just relax and let Darla take care of you.
Darla
How's that?
Darla
I'm just getting started, baby. [She starts kissing her way down his bare chest.] I know how to please you. All you have to do is let me.
[Darla kisses his chest, his neck, his mouth, mirroring the dream action in real life without Angel showing any sign of waking. Darla looks down at his sleeping face.]
Darla
Mmm, I could just eat you up.
[Darla leans down and kisses the side of his neck.]
