Angel Season 2 quotes

I can crush the life out of you before they even lift a finger.

Oh, I'm sure you can. Just as sure as I am that you won't.

Won't I?

You don't kill humans.

You don't qualify. You set things in motion, play your little games up here in your glass and chrome tower, and people die. Innocent people.

And yet I just can't seem to care. But you do. And while you're making threats, wasting time, crashing through windows, your girls are out painting the town red, red, red.

Ooh. I'm ringing. - Do you hear it? I'm ringing all over! [Darla grabs the phone from Drusilla's cleavage] Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.

View quote →

Ladies. How...?

Your wife was kind enough to invite us in, Holland.

Ah.

Very sweet, she was. Like clover. [licking blood off her lips]

And honey.

Just think of it as our way of giving you what you want.

What would I...?

I believe you said something about...[Darla and Drusilla change faces]...a massacre.

View quote →

You have beautiful skin.

I moisturize.

That was very thoughtful of you.

[Darla steps up close to Holland]

You brought me back as human, a dying one at that, let me wallow with a soul, then sent me crawling back to Angel, begging him to restore me.

Which he should have done right away. But I miscalculated, I - I thought he cared more than he did.

Like you do.

[Darla giggles.]

Grandmum won't eat [lifts both hands up besides her head and opens and closes them a couple of times] the double speak."

No. No, she won't eat that.

I hear the sirens. They don't know if the world will be there in the morning.

Do you hear the sirens? Are-are the police coming?

[Shakes his head.] No. She senses what this place was built for.

Ah, yes. Drusilla, you're quite right. This was originally a bomb shelter in the fifties. We had it converted. Wine has always been my passion.

[Darla giggles.]

People huddled together, crouching in fear.

Yes, yes. I imagine that's what it would have been like in a war.

No. Now. She means now.

Aha. [chuckles] I guess I stepped into that one. Listen Darla, I am sorry that you had to suffer, but look at what's come out of it. You've been restored. You're a superior being. You can have anything you want. And there's not a person in this room who won't work round the clock to see that you get it.

Gung ho, are they? Because all I'm sensing right now is big, stinky, fear. [smiles in Holland's face, then turns to Lindsey] But not from you. [walks over to him] Do you know what I'm getting from you, Lindsey? [leans in close to his neck as if to bite him, then pulls back] Nothing. Why aren't you afraid?

I don't know.

You could die here. Chances are you will.

I know.

And you don't care.

I care. I guess I just don't mind.

No one's going to die here. This is just a friendly get-together amongst colleagues. [Dru is dancing around Holland's back] We're all on the same side.

I love this room. Dru, honey, in our new digs we have to put in a people cellar.

[Holland smiles, but the smile fades quickly.]

[Angel arrives as Darla and Drusilla prepare to massacre a Wolfram & Hart office party]

Angelus- here for the tasting?

Look what we have for you. Oh- it's not Daddy. It's never Daddy. It's the Angel-beast.

Come to punish us?

Yeah, yeah. [lifts her hands as if they were tied above her head] Spank us till Tuesday. [growls] We promise to be bad if you do.

Angel....

[to Darla] I'm sorry I didn't get to you in time.

I'm not.

[caressing the side of her face] He's soul-sick. Not even thinking about his own family. [pulls one of the men over by his hair] Only thinking about them.

Come on, love. I never did get that good-bye kiss.

You will. But not tonight.

For God's sake, help us!

Angel, please. People are going to die.

And yet, somehow, I just can't seem to care.

[Holland watches wide-eyed as Angel shuts the double doors on them; Darla turns to caress Holland with a big smile on her face]

Angel? P-please we can negotiate. We...

[Angel slides the lock on the door shut]

Daddy?

[Lindsey has a slight smile creasing his face. Darla pulls Holland down and bites him. Angel unhurriedly walks up the steps from the cellar, ignoring the screams and sounds of fighting coming from the cellar.]

And you just walked away?

No, I walked to my car and then I drove away.

You didn't do anything?

You allowed Darla and Drusilla to have free reign.

I didn't bring either one of them into this. They did.

You could have stopped them.

And I will.

When? After they've finished off all the people you don't like?

Angel, while it's certainly true that these lawyers brought this on themselves, what you did is...

...is wrong.

You went too far.

We've all been worried about you, and I guess it's fair to say we all share some of the blame. We should have spoken up sooner.

And louder.

You have to change the way you've been doing things. Don't you see where this is taking you?

Listen to her! Right now the three of us are all that's standing between you and real darkness.

Best believe that, man.

I do. You're all fired.

[Angel gets up and walks away while the other three sit there like frozen statues.]

[Angel has just fired Cordelia, Gunn and Wesley]

What just happened? Can someone explain to me what just happened here?

I believe we were fired.

Canned.

Let go.

Axed.

Shown the door.

Booted.

All right! I get it. But... what just... happened?

View quote →

You're getting the big freeze-out, too?

Lilah.

Oh, what's wrong, Lindsey? You bitter because your girlfriend didn't slit my throat?

That might be overstating it. More like bummed.

Sorry to disappoint. I take it I'm not the only one feeling the lack of empathy around here.

[A vampire, walking next to a lawyer, stares at Lindsey's bruised face.]

What are you looking at?

No phone calls, no flowers. If I were the nervous type, I'd be nervous. But as it is, I'm just pissed."

What do you expect, Lilah? We're the only survivors of the massacre, it's natural that we're under suspicion.

Yeah, you know what I don't like about suspicion? The part where they find us two weeks from now, dead in some freak accident.

We did nothing wrong.

I'm sorry, have we met? Because I work for Wolfram and Hart. Responsibility has nothing to do with it. If they are looking for a scapegoat we might as well grow horns and start eating garbage.

Scapegoat. Scapegoat, Lilah?! They're the one...

[Lilah puts a hand on his chest and Lindsey falls silent and glares at another lawyer, walking past them in the hallway.]

[more quietly] They're the ones who wanted Drusilla brought in. I was following orders.

And you honestly think that matters? Fine. Indulge your denial. Don't doubt for a minute someone's gonna pay, Lindsey, and we're the only ones left.

Lindsey opens the door to his dark office and the two of them stop just inside the door.

Not the only ones.

[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.

Hey, I got a rep to maintain, all right? I can't have y'all seeing through my brusque and macho exterior.

Oh, heavens forbid!

View quote →

Well, how is the man supposed to run a business if his employees won't follow directives?

Well, was one of his directives, "Hire pansy-ass British guys"?

My arse is not pansy.

...

[Later, with the group more inebriated.]

Hypocrite!

Ass-pansy!

[A fight is taking place between a green demon and a vampire, ringed by a crowd of demons watching and cheering. The demon dances around the vampire, hitting him. Finally grabs the vampire in a choke-hold. The vampire slaps the floor with his hand and the demon releases him. Rhythmic clapping interrupts the cheers for the winner. The crowd parts to reveal Darla, followed by Dru walking into the middle of the circle.]

Wow. That was something. But violence without victims, see, that's where you lose me.

DDemon

Who the hell are you?

My name's Darla and this is Drusilla. We're new in town though some of you know us by reputation.

DDemon

I never heard of you before.

[Drusilla reaches up from behind him and casually rips off his ears. The demon drops to the floor with a scream, hands pressed to the sides of his head.]

Now you never will. I trust we have everyone's attention? Good. We've come with a little proposition.

[From under the shadow of the hood of his gray sweatshirt a vamp-faced Angel glances over the shoulders of the demons in front of him at Darla.]'

Me and my girl, we're not just the new thing in town, we're the only thing in town. And we're in the market for some... Well, one doesn't really want to use the term 'muscular slaves...' Actually, one does. Unfortunately for most, we're only looking for the best. Those creatures who not only excel at devastation, but revel in it. Our crusade is one of malevolent joy.

[Angel moves through the demon crowd, head down. Dru gasps as he slips past the demons standing behind her.]

Eyes like needles.

Dru, I'm working here?

He sees you. Sees what you were. [Gasps and takes a step closer to Darla.] You'll never be alone again.

Stop! J-just don't.

He's watching you, my sweet, right now.

[Darla spins around and looks at the crowd of demons.]

Angel.

[Darla pushes into the crowd.]

He wants to punish us. He thinks we've been naughty. He remembers when you were warm.

Shut up, Drusilla!

[Drusilla turns away and Darla gives herself a little shake.]

Now, as I was saying, if you think you have what it takes to join us, auditions are tonight, here... [pulls a business card out of her cleavage] at this address. Winners will have the opportunity to foment mass-destruction, losers will be gutted and left for dead. Have a nice night. [Grabs a hold of Drusilla's arm and hustles her towards the door.] Come on.

Lilah. Something happened?

I can't do it anymore, Lindsey.

[Lilah slowly walks in. Lindsey drops his stuff and closes the door.]

Do what?

The waiting. I'm sitting in my office and every time there is a noise or the phone rings... One of us is gonna die, Lindsey.

Everybody dies, Lilah.

But not everybody ends up in a dog-food processing plant in San Pedro.

May not happen to you, Lilah. You got a fifty-fifty chance of surviving this thing, just like me.

That's not good enough. There is a way out of this.

How?

We don't wait for them to choose one of us, we choose each other instead. If we stick together we can beat them. We could leave, you and me, tonight. They'd have no choice...

No choice but to hunt us down, which they would.

No. Not if we took files, as insurance.

Take files?

Yes. Look. I've heard the rumors. We both know that it worked for you once before. You knew just what to take. And this time you won't have to assume any of the risk. You just tell me which files to steal and I'll get them. And then we can get out of here. End this mess together. Are you in?

[Lindsey strokes the side of Lilah's face and leans in as if to kiss her, while his hand slips down into her blouse and pulls out a wire.]
