Darla and Angel in “The Trial”

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Saving you.

I wasn't in any danger, Angelus. Believe me, I picked a stupid one. I always pick the stupid ones, didn't you know that? I can take care of myself.

I didn't mean from him. I was saving you from yourself.

Who asked you?

This isn't the answer.

You don't even know what the question is. Why can't you leave me alone?

You do this thing and I won't be able to leave you alone, don't you get that? I'll never be able to leave you alone. [Holds up the stake] Next time it'll be you on the end of this stake. I'm sorry, but I don't want that, not again.

Don't worry. I wouldn't let it happen twice.

Where are you going?

Not back in there, everyone saw me leave with the Mullet. Try something on the westside, I guess.

Another dive, another loser?

What do you care?

This isn't you, Darla.

You know, just because we had a thing for 150 years, don't presume you know me!

So, you really want to be made by some creep in a filthy alley.

I wanted you to do it.

That'll never happen.

So I do what I have to do. Anyway, you were made in an alley, if I recall.

That's not the point.

Yeah, what is the point, Angelus?

The point is, you were undead for four hundred years. You've only been human again for a few months. Why not give it some time?

I don't have time.

You do. You've been given a second chance. Don't throw that away before you have the opportunity ...

I'm dying.

... ... What?

Yeah. And not 'sometime.' Not 'later.' Now. Right now. They showed me the medical files. All the tests say the same thing. I've got about two months, three at the most, so if you'll excuse me, I'm in sort of a hurry.
