[Darla shakes her hair back and tilts her head, exposing her throat.]
Do it! Now!
What?
Make me what I was again!
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.
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?
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!
[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.]
What do you mean you can't? You won't!
I can't seem to be able to uhm, I'm sorry.
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.]
No! Don't look for me again.
[She turns and rushes out the door and a he makes no move to stop her.]
