Darla
- Darla: [to Angel, after burning him with a cross] You see, no matter how good a boy you are, God doesn't want you! But I still do.
- Angel: The bitch is, you have a soul now. Pretty soon, those memories are gonna start eatin' away at you. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to escape the truth of what you were. Believe me, I know.
- Darla: But you *can* escape. You can escape it all. Remember what it's like to get lost, huh? Every thought a million miles away, every part of your being alive! All you have to do is let me give you one little moment of happiness.
- Angel: You took me places, and showed me things, huh? You blew the top off my head. But you never made me happy.
- Darla: But that - that cheerleader did? We were together a hundred and fifty years! We shared everything. You're saying never?
- Angel: You couldn't understand.
- Darla: I understand, alright. Guy gets taste of something fresh, and he thinks he's touching God.
- Angel: It wasn't about...
- Darla: Oh, you bet your ass it was! There was a time, in the early years, when you would have said I was the definition of bliss! Buffy wasn't happiness. She was just new!
- Darla: What a poster child for soulfulness you are! This is no life, Angel. Before you got neutered, you just weren't any vampire, you were a legend. Nobody could keep up with you. Not even me. And you don't learn that kind of darkness. It's innate. It was in you before we ever met. And you said you can smell me? Well, I can smell you too. And my boy is still in there and he wants out.
- Darla: [about Lindsey's plastic hand] He did that to you. What's it feel like?
- Lindsey McDonald: Doesn't feel like anything.
- Darla: Can I?
- [touches the fake hand]
- Darla: It's very smooth. You don't feel anything?
- Lindsey McDonald: Not in my hand. How is it? Seeing him again?
- Darla: Strange.
- Lindsey McDonald: He betrayed you.
- Darla: Everyone betrays you. That's not what eats at you in the long winter's night.
- Lindsey McDonald: Yeah? What does?
- Darla: Missed opportunities. He got a soul and it sickened me. All that power wasted on a whiny, mopey do-gooder. God, I could eat his eyeballs.
- Lindsey McDonald: Our plans for Angel are a little more long-term than that, but if you can't help yourself, then, by all means, be my guest.
- Darla: You're fun for a human.
- Lindsey McDonald: You've given us more information on Angel than we had when he first got here. Nobody knows him better than you. Especially the side we're interested in.
- Darla: So, what is the plan exactly? I tease him to death?
- Angel: You're gonna feel it, you know. What you did. That man you got killed.
- Darla: Oh, please. He was an actor.
- Angel: I'm serious.
- Darla: Yeah, like a heart attack. And just about as much fun.
- Angel: Darla, you hurt anyone else and I'll kill you.
- Darla: Will you? Isn't that against your Cub Scout code?
- Angel: I'll make an exception.
