What about my salary? That's fixed too.
What if every time you identified a demon in one of your big old books, we gave you ten bucks? Or a chicken pot pie?
Wait, I have another idea -- no. Get a vision!
Well, it's not like you can hit me in the head and wham, it happens!
What if we test that theory with one of my big old books?
Children, stop bickering.
All that power wasted on a whiny, mopey do-gooder. God, I could eat his eyeballs.
Our plans for Angel are a little more long-term than that. But if you can't help yourself, then by all means, be my guest.
You're fun for a human.
Just nod and smile pleasantly, Stephen.
What'd this guy do to you anyway? You're going to an awful lot of trouble to teach him a lesson. Not that I mind, work is work. Last year I did this puppet theatre of the absurd and believe me it was...
[Darla's hand slips out of sight beneath the table cloth in the general region of his crotch.]
Ow-oh!
If you don't shut up I'm going to kill you.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Black sky. It wants a little wormy me.
[Angelus and Darla break apart and look over at a sobbing Dru.]
No. No. Make it stop!
What is she doing here? I thought you killed her.
No. Just her family.
[He pushes Darla down on the floor and rolls on top of her.]
Eyes like arrows - like-like needles.
This one's special. I have big plans for her.
[He leans down to kiss Darla.]
Snake in the woodshed. Snake in the woodshed. Snake in the woodshed! Snake in the woodshed!
[Darla rolls them over so she's now on top.]
So are we going to kill her during, or after?
Neither. We turn her into one of us. - Killing is so merciful at the end, isn't it? The pain has ended.
But to make her one of us? She's a lunatic.
Eternal torment. [Grabs a hold of Darla's arms and rolls them so he is back on top with her under him on the floor.] Am I learning?
[Angelus starts to kiss Darla while Dru first laughs then cries.]
[Angel manhandles Darla down the long stairwell and a good ways into the giant empty water tank.]
So you're what Wolfram and Hart brought back in that box. And they brought you back as a human. They think I won't kill one. You want to know what I think? I think they don't know me that well.
[Darla tries to make a run for it, but Angel cuts her off and she stops.]
You feel what this place was before they excavated it? The convent you remember how much I like convents.
[She looks at him, makes the sign of the cross..]
Come on Darla, you and I are too old to play games. I need to talk to the real you.
[He morphs into vamp face and charges her, pushes her up against a pillar.]
It's been a long time since I said this to anyone [He rips her jacket off her shoulder and bares her neck.] but you can scream all you want."
[Angel lowers his mouth to her bared shoulder and scrapes his teeth up along her neck, scratching it.]
[As he begins to nuzzle her neck Darla begins to smile.]
Oh. Oh I'm not gonna scream.
[She turns her face against his neck. He pulls back and kisses her and she responds. After a moment they break apart and Darla smiles at him.]
There's my boy.
[She puts a hand around his neck and they kiss again, harder.]
God doesn't want you... but I still do.
I'm not crazy, I'm telling you I saw her.
Who?
Darla.
Where?
Right between the clowns and the big talking hot dog.
I smelled her, I know her scent.
You can't just...
You had sex last night with a bleached blonde.
Good Lord!
The table seems far.
Aw, you must be all worn out from sleeping for the last three days! [to Wesley] It's like living with the world's oldest teenager. He can't be having a growth spurt at two-hundred and forty-eight, could he?
Two forty-seven!
[jolts awake] Eugh! [Wesley and Cordelia stare at him] Didn't doze off.
[to the crowd, after singing] I'm very sorry.
[Shot of some manacles and a gun on a table.]
This is all just precautionary. When push comes to shove, Angel's our - we trust him.
[picks up gun] I see.
It's not like he turns evil every time he gets this cranky.
He turns evil?!
There's nothing I respect more than loyalty.
That's good to hear.
But if the bad Angel walks through that door I will kill him in two seconds flat.
Okay, okay. Let's not get off track here. We wanna find Angel as much as you do.
No you don't. You wanna protect him, even though he's lost it. He stalked that woman because he thought she was this Darla from his past. She begged him to stay out, and he knocked down the door and killed her husband. I've read about him too, I know what he is, and I know he hasn't changed.
No. He hasn't. He's still a vampire.
Gunn! Not helping.
So how'd he get in the house? She invite him in?
Course she didn't in...
The only way Angel could have gotten into that house uninvited would be if the real owners were dead. It's what he was saying all along, she isn't DeEtta Kramer!
