[Dru is sitting in the chair behind Lindsey's desk, while Darla is sitting on the edge of it.]
Lindsey. I've missed you. Close the door. [Neither Lindsey nor Lilah move.] Sweetpea, if we wanted you dead, you'd have never have made it out of the wine cellar. Now close the door.
[Lindsey closes the door.]
He's got cow eyes. Big and black. Moo...
[moves over to Darla] You spared me. Why'd you spare me, Darla?
Do you really have to ask? [She leans in close to smell him] Hmm. I'm in love with you.
[They look at each other for a few moments, then Darla burst out laughing. Lindsey jerks his head a little. Dru and Lilah join Darla's laughter.]
Shut up, Lilah.
Shh!
Well, look at you two, such pretty scars.
You've put us in a difficult position, Darla.
Hmm, have I? Smart young lawyers, [runs a hand up Lindsey's arm] hungry for their big break and whoops boss gets eaten. Someone has to step in. Someone promising, pretty, with questionable ethics and twelve-hundred dollar suits that look good on the six o'clock news.
You think they'll promote him?
[to Lilah] Or you. In any case, that's why you're here. I've decided to keep the line of communication open between us and Wolfram and Hart.
What for?
I believe we can help each other.
I don't think I understand. What is it exactly that you want, Darla?
Power. See, Lindsey, during my stint as Wolfram and Hart's puppet, something occurred to me. I loathe being used. If I recall I sent you a fifteen-body-memo to that effect. We plan on being big players in this town, Dru and I. And while you can't give me what I want, you have the things I need to get it. Money. Connections.
We're no good to you dead, Darla. The Senior Partners are looking for someone to blame for your massacre.
But surely they wouldn't kill both of you. Seems like such a waste. Well, I guess, whoever's left standing will be our liaison.
Liaison to what?
To the world above of course. In the meantime, we'll focus on the world below.
This power that you want does it have a target? You going after Angel?
Don't say that! Not everything is about Angel, Lindsey. I just want to have some fun.
Well, you see, I'm surprised. Because I thought that you would make him your top priority.
I spent two-hundred and fifty years without Angel. You think just because I went through a little human phase I'd go all gooey?
No. No, I thought you'd kill him.
All in good time, my love. All in good time.
