Angel and Holtz in “Lullaby”

You're still human. How'd you manage this?

So, the question becomes, now that I have you, what's the best way to get her?

Only dark magic could have brought you this far.

She was always the trick, you know, not you. Darla was the unpredictable one.

Was it a demon? Or something else?

What if I just kill you now? Would she somehow sense it? Would she then come running? [Walks away from Angel] Would that bring her bursting through those doors, I wonder?

Did something come to you, or did you seek it out?

She might show herself in the service of revenge. It can be a powerful motivator.

Yes, it can. What did you have to give up for this second chance?

Give up? [Turns to face Angel] I had nothing to give up. You saw to that.

We took a lot from you, that's true. But we didn't get everything. We couldn't take your soul.

What do you know of a soul?

I know yours will be destroyed if you allow yourself to be used in the service of evil. You're a good man, Holtz. A righteous man. And you're being used for some purpose other than justice.

Could it be you really have changed? I don't remember you ever pleading so cravenly before.

And I remember you used to work with men.
