Lines by Jasmine 1

Jasmine

Yes. In the beginning, before the time of man, great beings walked the earth. Untold power emanated from all quarters--the seeds of what would come to be known as good and evil. But the shadows stretched and became darkness, and the malevolent among us grew stronger. The earth became a demon realm. Those of us who had the will to resist left this place, but we remained ever-watchful.

Scenes with Jasmine 5

Jasmine

It was a trial run, an early experiment to work out the bugs, so to speak. I won't make that mistake again. I know where Angel is, and I know what he's looking for. He's wasting his time.

If you really believed that, you'd have killed us already.

Too much trouble conquering a primitive dimension, wasn't it, Jasmine? Or whatever your name is. Must be nice for you that we have satellites to beam your message to the rest of the world.

Jasmine

You're not wrong.

Jasmine, it's over. You've lost.

Jasmine

I've lost? Do you have any idea what you've done?

What I had to do.

Jasmine

No. No, Angel. There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices. I offered paradise. You chose this!

Because I could. Because that's what you took away from us. Choice.

Jasmine

And look what free will has gotten you.

Hey, I didn't say we were smart. I said it's our right. It's what makes us human.

Jasmine

But you're not human.

Working on it.

[Jasmine turns to walk away]

Where you going?

Jasmine

Leave me alone.

Sorry, but... can't do that.

Jasmine

What? You've taken everything. You're gonna try to kill me now, as if you could.

Maybe not. But I'll die before I let you hurt anyone else.

Jasmine

You're already dead!

You know what I mean. It ends right here.

Jasmine

Why do you hate me so much?

Let's run down the list, huh? Rain of fire, blotting out the sun, enslaving mankind, and, yeah, oh, yeah, hey, you eat people!

Jasmine

Like you never have?

Thousands of people are dead because of what you've done.

Jasmine

And how many will die because of you? I could've stopped it, Angel. All of it. War, disease, poverty. How many precious, beautiful lives would've been saved in a handful of years? Yes, I murdered thousands to save billions. This world is doomed to drown in its own blood now.

The price was too high, Jasmine. Our fate has to be our own, or we're nothing.

Jasmine

Like me?

Look, we've all done horrible things. All we can do is try and make up for it. So, OK, you know, it's not the world that you wanted, but maybe you can still help us make it better, even if you have lost your powers.

Jasmine

Not all of them.

[Jasmine punches Angel so hard that it sends him flying over the edge of the bridge. He lands on a car hood. Jasmine, still on the bridge, picks up a station wagon.]

Jasmine

Think the price was too high? You haven't begun to pay!

[She throws a station wagon over the bridge, it snaps a power line before crashing into the street and exploding. Jasmine jumps off the bridge, lands on her feet, and walks menacingly toward Angel.]

Jasmine

Maybe you're right. Maybe I can still make this world a better place. One body at a time. I loved this world. I sacrificed everything I was to be with you.

So you could rule us?

Jasmine

Because I cared. The other Powers don't. Never really did. You know that's true in your heart. Shame now I gotta rip it out.

[She reaches for Angel, but he grabs the end of the power line and electrocutes Jasmine with the live end. The electricity sends her back a few feet, but doesn't hurt her. She walks back toward Angel.]

Jasmine

I was forged in the inferno of creation, vampire. Do you really think a little electricity would destroy me?

Worth a shot.

Go to hell.

Jasmine

You first, baby.

[Forces Angel into a kiss.]

Always the same, dad. I get a girl, you gotta make a play for her.

[Jasmine lets up on the kissing.]
