LINDSEY: Darla.

DARLA: Say that again?

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 and... 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. Look... you're just you. Whatever that is.

DARLA: Why haven't you kissed me? You've been dying for it, haven't you?

LINDSEY: I didn't know if you wanted me to.

DARLA: Why should that matter? Do you think I ever hesitated when I wanted something? Life's too short. Believe me, I know. 400 years and still too short.

(Lindsey kisses her)

DARLA: Mmm, that's how humans get what *they* want. I remember that much.

(Lindsey kisses her again.)

LINDSEY: Do you like it?

DARLA: It's nice. But it's not me you want to screw.

LINDSEY: What?

DARLA: It's him. You all think you can use me to get to Angel.

LINDSEY: Maybe.

(He kisses her hard)

DARLA: What am I?

LINDSEY: I don't know. And I don't care.

(Darla bites his neck)

DARLA: Now do you care?

LINDSEY: No.

DARLA: That's how vampires get what they want. What am I?

LINDSEY: Darla...

DARLA: Is that it? Am I Darla?

LINDSEY: Yes.

DARLA: Careful. Darla would snap you in half. Is that who I am?

(pulls away from him)

LINDSEY: I understand what you're going through.

DARLA: No. Nobody understands. Nobody *can* understand. I can feel this body dying, Lindsey. I can feel it decaying moment by moment. It's being eaten away by this thing inside of it. It's a cancer, this soul!
