[talking about Angelus] Angelus? The Latinate for "Angel". It's marvelous!
His name would already be a legend in his home village - had he left anyone alive there to tell the tale.
[caressing Darla's hand] Ah, you had a nice trip. I'm so glad.
On the way back we cut a bloody swath through South Wales and northern England. He was magnificent.
Hmm, Yorkshire men - tough as leather. [The Master and Angelus both laugh at that remark] So, Darla here tells me you're some sort of Master.
The Master. He commands our order."
The order of Aurelius. We are the select - the elite.
[Angelus folds his arms and surveys their surroundings.]
And you live in the sewers, do you?
[The Master gives Darla's hand a pat and stands up.]
We live below, giving tribute to the old ones. Awaiting that promised day when we will arise -A rise! - and lay waste to the world above us.
[The Master laughs.]
Why'd you want to do that?
Huh?
Well, I mean, have you been above lately? It's quite nice. Me - I could never live in a rat infested stink hole - like this, if you'll pardon me for saying so. I got to have meself a proper bed or I'm a terror. [To Darla] Isn't that right love?
He's young.
And this one, down in the goose feathers, and the finest silks and linens and a view... [Angelus comes around to Darla] ...she's always got to have the view... [leans in close to her] ...don't you, my lamb?.
We fed very recently. The blood is still hot in his veins.
You noticed that, did you?
We stalk the surface to feed and grow our ranks. We do not live amongst the human pestilence!
I'll be honest, you really couldn't with that face, now could you?
Angelus!
[Angelus laughs and drops into the Masters chair, left leg dangling over one of the armrests and takes a bit of snuff.]
It's not stuck like that now is it?
[The Master leans in on him with a growl.]
The Master has grown past the curse of human features.
I'm not gonna get a bat-nose like that, huh? Am I?
Very few vampires are cunning enough to have lived as long as I have - which you've now... [The Master grabs Angelus by the front of his coat and throws him across the room) ...demonstrated.
[Darla flinches as Angelus slides down the wall. Laughing, he gets back up, and keeps talking to Darla as if the Master wasn't even there.]
Naples, you and me Darla. What do you say?
[The Master hits him with a hard right throwing him back against the wall.]
Angelus...
[Angelus just pushes himself off the wall and goes on as if nothing had happened]
This is no place for you - bound to the likes of him.
You should show... [Master hits Angelus over the head, dropping him to the ground] ...the proper respect.
[Angelus, now on all fours and breathing hard, still ignores the Master and talks only to Darla.]
You belong by my side, out in the world, feeding as we like,taking what we need. I'll give you that view you crave, darling. I'll give you everything.
[The Master knocks Angelus over onto his back. Angelus coughs, then laughs again. Lifts his head to look at Darla.]
[to Darla] Tell the truth - whose face do you want to look at for eternity? His, or mine?
You idiot. I made her.
[To the Master's shock, Darla goes to Angelus and helps her lover to his feet.]
You're leaving with the stallion, aren't you?
[One of the Master's minions tries to block their path, but the Master waves them off and lets the couple leave the hall.]
No. Let them go. He won't last. I give it a century, tops.
