Season Five:
"The Girl in Question"
Darla Quotes:
Connor: My mother's dead.
Darla: And I'll always be a part of you. You shared your soul with me once when you were growing inside of me when I'd lost my own. You brought light to my shadow, filled my heart with joy and love. I'd never felt so close to any living thing as I did to my beautiful boy.
Connor: Why'd you leave me? Did you hate me that much?
Darla: Baby, no. I wanted to be with you more than anything.
Connor: You killed yourself. I wasn't even born yet. And you …
Darla: … did what I had to. My life for yours. I did so many terrible things, Connor, so much destruction, so much pain. You were the one good thing I ever did. The only good thing. I'd die every day for the rest of eternity for you.
~From "Inside Out"
Angel: You love it.
Darla: Completely. I love it completely. I-I-I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as this life that's inside of me.
Darla: I won't be able to love it. I won't even be able to remember that I loved it. I want to remember.
Darla: Angel... Our baby is gonna die right here in this alley. - You died in an alley, remember?
Angel: I remember.
Darla: I wanna say I'm sorry. I wanna say it and mean it, but - I can't. - Aren't you gonna tell me it's okay?
Angel: No.
Darla: No? It's really not, is it? We did so many terrible things together. So much destruction, so much - pain. - We can't make up for any of it. You know that, don't you.
Angel: Yeah.
Darla: This child - Angel, it's the one good thing we ever did together. The only good thing. You make sure to tell him that.
~From "Lullaby"
Angel: Darla, you might wanna join the fight.
Darla: Sorry, darling. I'm gonna have to be Switzerland and sit this one out.
~From "Quickening"
Angelus: Shouldn't we be killing Holtz?
Darla: I know, but it's just so much fun ruining his life. He's like family now.
~From "Offspring"
Shaman: The father is also a...
Darla: Vampire? Yes! Though - not a very good one.
~From "That Vision Thing"
Man: Hmm. I thought you might have a ... surprise or two in you.
Darla: Well, you know what they say. Life's full of surprises.
~From "Heartthrob"
Lindsey: Good. You're getting stronger everyday.
Darla: Only because you saved me. - I'd still be in that sewer if you hadn't found me. - I don't know how you did.
Lindsey: Drusilla. - She came to me. Remember I told you?
Darla: She's gone.
Lindsey: Yeah, she'll be back.
Darla: No. - You're the only one who hasn't abandoned me.
Lindsey: And I never will.
~From "Reprise"
Dru: I'm burning. Make it stop, please.
Darla: Shh. Shh. That wasn't Angel.
Dru: He's gone. He's all gone. Oh - it hurts! It hurts!
Darla: Wasn't Angelus either.
Dru: Darla, help me. Help me, please! Please. Please.
Darla: Who was that?
~From "Redefinition"
Darla: 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.
Holland: Which he should have done right away. - But I miscalculated, I - I thought he cared more than he did.
Darla: Like you do.
~From "Reunion"
Darla: Angel, I've seen it now - everything you're going through, everything you've gone through. - I felt it. I felt how you
care. The way no one's ever cared before - not for me. That's all I need from you.
Angel: That's not enough.
Darla: It is.
Angel: How could the powers allow you to be brought back and dangle a second chance and take it away like this?
Darla: Maybe this is my second chance.
Angel: To die?
Darla: Yes. To die - the way I was supposed to die in the first place.
~From "The Trial"
Lindsey: I just - ah, - I said your name - Darla.
Darla: It sounds so odd, doesn't it?
Lindsey: I don't know what you mean.
Darla: It wasn't my name when I was human. - The first time when I was human, I mean.
Lindsey: What was your name?
Darla: Hmm - I don't remember. I'm not her, whoever she was. I was Darla for so long - then I wasn't. I
- I wasn't anything. I just stopped. - He killed me. I was done. Then you brought be back.
Lindsey: Yes.
Darla: What did you bring back, Lindsey? What am I? Did you bring back that girl, whose name I can't
remember? Or did you bring back something else? - The other thing.
Lindsey: Both. - Neither. - You're just you. Whatever that is.
~From "Darla"
Lindsey: He betrayed you.
Darla: Everyone betrays you, that's not what eats you in the long winter's night...
Lindsey: 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: 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.
~From "Dear Boy"
Darla: Exciting, isn't it?
Lilah: Darla. - I didn't see you.
Darla: Going through their things, all the little pieces of themselves locked away, given you a naughty little thrill of control.
Lilah: I just like to keep abreast of his latest project. He's probably in my office right now trying to find out about mine.
That's just how it works at our firm.
Darla: "Hmm, all you busy little worker bees, plotting your little schemes."
Lilah: Calynthia powder? Is that how you keep Angel sleeping - when he's with you?
Darla: There is nothing so lovely as dreams. Everything is in them, everything hidden. Open those chambers and you can
truly understand someone - and control them.
Lilah: And what's hidden in Angel's secret chambers?
Darla: Horrors.
~From "Untouched"
Darla: Always the protector, never the protected.
Angel: I have so many things to make up for.
Darla: And you have. You take care of so many people. - But who takes care of you?
Angel: You do.
Darla: That's right. I do.
~From "First Impressions"
Lilah: Hello,
Darla. How are you doing today? Feeling any better? It's a
beautiful day outside.
Lindsey: Lilah,
shut up. She's not a child. She's 400 years old.
Darla:
Hmm, the prelude.
Lindsey:
In C-minor. The preludes and the nocturnes.
Darla: So much
better than the waltzes. - He had consumption.
Lindsey: And
died way too soon. A lot of that going around.
Darla: Hm.
He's here.
Lilah: Chopin?
Lindsey: Angel.
He's here in town. You can feel him.
Darla: Always
could.
Lindsey: He hasn't
been much of a help to us.
Darla: He killed
me. I remember now - with a soul in his heart.
Lindsey: He's
taken from both of us, so when you feel ready, we'll start thinking about
giving a little back.
Darla: Angel...
it's been a long time. I'd love to see that boy.
~From
"Judgement"
Holland: The
senior partners were very impressed with your sacrifice. Trust me, we'll
even the score with them.
Lindsey:
Yes, we will.
Holland: Beginning
with what's in that box.
Lilah:
We are all very pleased you're here. I know it's a bit confusing,
but it's going to be better soon, a lot better, Darla.
~From
"To
Shanshu in L.A."
Darla:
The spell - they gave you a soul. A filthy soul! No!
You're disgusting!
Angel: Darla.
Darla:
No, get away from me.
Angel: You brought
her here. I am like you.
Darla:
You're not like anything. Get away from me. Get out!
I'll kill you!
~From
"Five
by Five"
Darla: Your
victory over him took but moments.
Angelus:
Yes?
Darla: But his
defeat of you will last life times.
Angelus: What are
you talking about? He can’t defeat me now.
Darla: Nor can
he ever approve of you, in this world or any other. What we once
were informs all that we have become. The same love will infect our
hearts, even if they no longer beat. Simple death won't change that.
Angelus: Love?
Is this the work of love?
Darla:
Darling boy. So young. Still so very young.

"The
Prodigal"
