Darla?
Say that again?
I just uh... I said, your name... Darla.
It sounds so odd, doesn't it?
I don't know what you mean-.
It wasn't my name when I was human. First time I was human, I mean.
What was your name?
[without sentiment] I don't remember. I'm not her, whoever she was. I was Darla for so long. And then... I wasn't. I wasn't anything. I just... stopped. He killed me, and I was done. But then you brought me back.
Yes...
What did you bring back, Lindsey? What am I? Did you bring back that girl, whose name I can't remember?... Or did you bring back something else? The other thing?
Both. Neither. You're just you... whatever that is.
Why haven't you kissed me? You've been dying for it, haven't you?
I didn't know if you wanted me to...
Why should that matter? Do you think I ever hesitated when I wanted something? Life's too short. Believe me. I know. Four hundred years, and still too short.
[Lindsey steps forward and kisses her softly.]
Mmm, that's how humans get what they want. I remember that much.
[Lindsey kisses her again.]
Do you like it?
It's nice. - But it's not me you want to screw.
[Lindsey pulls back to look at her.]
What?
It's him. You all think you can use me to get to Angel.
Maybe.
[He kisses her hard, pushing her up against the table.]
What am I?
I don't know and I don't care.
[They kiss and suddenly Darla bites the side of Lindsey's neck, hard and he pulls away. They break apart.]
Now do you care?
No.
That's how vampires get what they want. What am I?
Darla...
Is that it? Am I Darla?
Yes.
Careful. Darla would snap you in half. - Is that who I am?
[She pushes away from him and leans her head against the window. Lindsey reaches one hand up to cover the side of his neck.]
I understand what you're going through.
[Darla shakes her head and pushes away from the glass.]
No. Nobody understands. Nobody can understand. I can feel this body dying, Lindsey. I can feel it decaying moment by moment. It's being eaten away by this thing inside of it. It's a cancer, this soul!
