Darla quotes from Angel

What?

Darla

Make me what I was again!

Darla...

Darla

You said you'd help me!

[Angel backs away but she won't let go of him.]

I will! I want to but not like this.

Darla

Then turn me back! My God! I can't bear this pounding in my chest for another instant!

It's a gift... to feel that heartbeat. To know, really and for once, that you're alive. You're human again, Darla. Do you know what that means?

Darla

Of course I do. It means pain, and suffering and disease and death! Look, I released you from this world once. I gave you eternal life. Now it's time for you to return the favor.

[Angel backs away and looks at her incredulously.]

Favor? Is that what you think? You think you did me a favor? You damned me!

Darla

[beat] Fine. Fine then, if it's such a punishment, take out your revenge, pay me back! [Angel just looks at her] Please.

[Angel swallows and shakes his head ever so slightly]

I can't.

[Darla closes her eyes.]

[China - 1900]

[Angel is looking down at the baby in the basket.]

Darla

What do you mean you can't? You won't!

I can't seem to be able to uhm, I'm sorry.

Darla

You disgust me.

[Angel grabs a hold of the baby and runs out on Darla, crashing through some glass doors.]

[Hyperion - Present Day]

Darla, wait!

[Darla stops in front of the doors and spins around to face him.]

Darla

No! Don't look for me again.

[She turns and rushes out the door and a he makes no move to stop her.]

[Holtz hunts Darla and Angelus across 18th century France.]

This is outrageous. Don't those people know who we are?

Darla

I think they do. Which would explain the lynch mob.

View quote →

I hate the French. We should go someplace like Romania.

Darla

In Italy, you said we should go someplace like France.

At least in Romania, they really know how to treat a creature of the night.

View quote →

It's this man, Holtz. How does he keep finding us?

Darla

Well, we stay in the best hotels, order room service, eat the waiters. People talk.

Darla

Ah, how long have you been...

Oh, an eternal child of the darkness? Since, ah...'92.

Darla

19 - 92?

[chuckling] I know. It's hard to believe it's already the last century.

Darla

And in all this time you've never considered making yourself a mate?

How do you mean?

Darla

Well, isn't it true that some vampires choose a mortal, someone they can sire, someone who, too, can walk those lonely nights, hunting with them, feeding with them, joining with them?

[Vampire looks down at her hands covering his then gives a laugh.]

No! That'd just be weird.

Darla

Weird? It's mythic!

[shakes his finger at her] No, you been reading too much Anne Rice lately! You've got no idea how this thing works!

Darla

Then teach me.

Oh, what, you want me to make you?

Darla

Why do you think I came into this bar, for the snacks?

Sweetheart, in this bar, you are the snacks.

Darla

[smiles] I live nearby. We can go back to my place, you can do it there.

Y-you're serious about this. [Darla nods slightly] So what? I make you and then you'd be like my immortal babe?

Darla

Yes.

Ah, well, that kind of sounds like commitment to me.

Darla

Then use me for as long as you like, anyway you like, then discard me. No strings.

There is an alley out back.

View quote →

How do you know I won't just kill you here, drain you and leave your body?

[Darla puts her purse down on the hood of a car and gives him a hard kiss, then steps back. Vampire's eyes popped open wide.]

Darla

I'll take my chances.

I-I-I should probably mention that I... I'm not real clear on how this thing works.

Darla

What?

Well, ah, I never actually did it, ah, to anybody before and I was kind of out when it happened to me.

Darla

I'll walk you through it. Drink. When you feel my heart start to slow stop.

[Vampire leans in while Darla closes her eyes. He's about to sink his fangs into her neck when he dissolves into a cloud of dust revealing Angel.]

Darla

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Saving you.

Darla

I wasn't in any danger, Angelus. Believe me, I picked a stupid one. I always pick the stupid ones, didn't you know that? I can take care of myself.

I didn't mean from him. I was saving you from yourself.

Darla

Who asked you?

This isn't the answer.

Darla

You don't even know what the question is. Why can't you leave me alone?

[She tries to walk past him but he stops her, leaning close into her face.]

You do this thing and I won't be able to leave you alone, don't you get that? I'll never be able to leave you alone. [Holds up the stake] Next time it'll be you on the end of this stake. I'm sorry, but I don't want that, not again.

Darla

Don't worry. I wouldn't let it happen twice.

Where are you going?

Darla

Not back in there, everyone saw me leave with the Mullet. Try something on the westside, I guess.

Another dive, another loser?

Darla

What do you care?

This isn't you, Darla.

Darla

You know, just because we had a thing for 150 years, don't presume you know me!

[Angel can't understand why Darla wants so badly to become a vampire again.]

So, you really want to be made by some creep in a filthy alley.

Darla

I wanted you to do it.

That'll never happen.

Darla

So I do what I have to do. Anyway, you were made in an alley, if I recall.

That's not the point.

Darla

Yeah, what is the point, Angelus?

The point is, you were undead for four hundred years. You've only been human again for a few months. Why not give it some time?

Darla

I don't have time.

You do. You've been given a second chance. Don't throw that away before you have the opportunity ...

Darla

I'm dying.

... ... What?

Darla

Yeah. And not 'sometime.' Not 'later.' Now. Right now. They showed me the medical files. All the tests say the same thing. I've got about two months, three at the most, so if you'll excuse me, I'm in sort of a hurry.

[France 1765]

How many men do you supposed he has with him?

Darla

I can't die. Not like this.

Well, we can try to flee to the hills to the south.

Darla

We'll never make it before the sun rises, not by foot.

We'll not make it easy for 'em, I can tell you that. They're men, mortals. Between the two of us we can go out with a reputation. Even death with the right companion...

[As he turns back towards Darla she hits him across the face with a 2x4, knocking him down. While slowly picks himself back up, she hurriedly mounts the horse.]

Darla

I hope you survive this, Angelus. If you do, maybe we'll meet again in Vienna.

Angel's back. And he has Darla with him!

[Wesley gets up and he and Cordelia walk around the counter to confront Angel and Darla.]

Hi. You're planning on sleeping over?

Darla

I'm dying.

So just for the one night then.

Dying?

Darla

He doesn't believe it.

Angel, what's going on?

Wolfram and Hart showed her some medical files supposedly proving that she's only got a few months left to live.

So maybe more than the one night.

And you believe it's some kind of trick.

We're talking about Wolfram and Hart! Of course it's a trick. They're trying to play some kind of mind game.

To what end?

I don't know, but we're not gonna take the bait.

Darla

No, you just don't wanna believe it, that's all.

I don't wanna believe anything from them.

It's true. They can't really be trusted.

Darla

I don't trust them. But I know a thing or two about mind games. [To Angel] So do you. We've played them together for over a century.

Yes, but you were just soulless, blood-sucking demons. They're lawyers.

[to Darla] She's right. We were amateurs.

View quote →

We'll find a cure. We'll do something.

Darla

You'll do something! Now, I've been around long enough to know when something is a lost cause. Unless...

That's exactly what they want us to do, Darla. We'd be playing right into their hands.

Darla

I don't care. I don't wanna die.

I can't give you what you want.

Darla

It's what I need.

No, it's not what you need, Darla. Really it's not. I don't know what you need. I wish I did.

Darla

I don't know either.

No. You do. You're the only one that could. You just can't see it that's all. You need a little help.

Darla

[singing] You're only misleading the sunshine I'm needing. Ain't that a shame? It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up from out of nowhere when love...

Aren't you supposed to be reading her?

Lorne

I'm a channel surfer. Look, you're a big hunk of hero sandwich. You wanna save the girl. I can see why. But you're missing the crucial point here. Things fall apart. Not everything can be put back together, no matter how much you want it.

She's not gonna die.

Lorne

Why do you care so much? She had more than most of us, already 400 plus years.

As a vampire. Before that she was... She... She never had a chance.

[Darla finishes her song to big applause.]

Lorne

Someone get my heart. That girl's ripped it right out.

[Angel stares at the stakes.]

What are you waiting for?

For you, sir. I can't proceed without your permission. You've earned a choice. Accept your death so she may live or...

Or what?!

Leave. Refuse the challenge and walk away. No one will stop you. Our doors are all open to you. You've done that yourself.

What about Darla?

Oh, she dies.

No deal.

I expected as much. A pity. I'm beginning to like you.

Spare me.

I'd very much like to. [Steps closer.] Do you mind if I ask you a question? Isn't the world a better place with you in it? You can save so many people. It seems she can barely save herself.

[Angel doesn't answer. Darla has a tear in her eye.]

You know better than anyone the world can be a very bad place. Take yourself out, put her in - how long will it be before she stumbles, before she falls?

I don't know.

No, you don't. Are you still ready to give her life when she can promise you - nothing?

Yes.

[Darla licks her lips and swallows.]

As you wish.

Darla

No.

[Angel takes a deep breath.]

Do it.

[Jeeves releases the stakes and they hurtle towards Angel.]

Darla

Noooooooooooooooo!

[She squirms, her eyes closed. She opens them to see Angel in front of her, once again fully dressed but panting, hunched over, barely able to stand.]

Darla

Angel!

Congratulations. You've passed the third test by accepting death. I'm told no one's ever gone that far before in terms of sacrifice. Kudos.

Pay up.

Of course. [To Darla] You're a lucky woman, and soon you'll have your whole life ahead. Use it wisely.

Hey, Jeeves, unless this fortune cookie crap is some new kind of torture, what you say we get on with it, huh?"

This way, miss.

[He puts his hands on the sides of her head and they both close their eyes as Angel tries to straighten up so he can get a better view. Jeeves opens his eyes and lets his hands drop.]

Oh!

Darla

What?

What is it?

This is very embarrassing.

What is?

Not to mention unprecedented. She's...she's been given new life once before by supernatural means, yes?"

Darla

They brought me back.

What are you saying?

I can't help you.

We had a bargain. She's earned a second chance.

She's living her second chance. [The wall shivers and a set of stairs leading up appears.] But you played the game magnificently. [Angel gives him a dark look and Jeeves adjusts his cuffs.] Perhaps you should have told us that she was brought to life before this all started. I truly am sorry, sir. The fact of the matter is... [Steps back and dissolves ...there is nothing I can do.

[Angel doesn't move.]

Darla

Angel...

[Angel reacts angrily.]

[Angel and Darla are sitting in her dingy motel room, Darla on the bed, Angel on a chair by the door.]

Maybe it would be different. We don't know. Maybe, uh... because, you know, I have a soul if...if I did bite you...

Darla

No!

We don't know what it would do to you.

Darla

Angel, I've seen it now. Everything you're going through, everything you've gone through. I felt it. I felt how you care. The way no one's ever cared before. Not for me. [Gives him a tiny smile] That's all I need from you.

That's not enough.

Darla

It is.

How could the Powers allow you to be brought back, dangle a second chance and take it away like this?

Darla

Maybe this is my second chance.

To die?

Darla

Yes. To die. The way I was supposed to die in the first place.

[They look at each other for a moment before Darla turns away drawing a shaky breath. Angel gets up and, still limping slightly, goes to sit next to her.]

I'm not gonna leave you.

[Darla looks at him trying not to cry.]

Every moment you have left I'm gonna be by your side. You're never gonna be alone again."

[He drapes his, still burned looking, right hand around her shoulder and pulls her close as she begins to cry.]
