Angel to Darla: You think you did me a favor? You damned me.
from Darla (Season 2)

DARLA: Are you with me Angel? Why aren't you with me?

W&H GOON: (kidnapping her) Sorry, lady. It's just us.

(Angel saves her just as the Goon is about to fire on her)

ANGEL: Darla?

(...)

ANGEL: She's gonna be okay.

CORDELIA: Maybe we should get her a doctor.

DARLA: (waking) No. No doctors. (sees Angel. smiles) Angelus.

CORDELIA: Uhm. Sorry, I know you're concussion gal and all, but around here it's Angel. Just Angel, okay?

ANGEL: Guys, do you mind? Just give us a minute?

WESLEY: Yeah, of course.

GUNN: No problem.

(they all exit)

DARLA: I thought I was dead.

ANGEL: You're not dead.

DARLA: I'm not sure how I feel about that.

ANGEL: I know what you mean.

DARLA: I'm so lucky. To have someone who understands. Who knows. It's something you never had, is it?

ANGEL: It wasn't your fault.

DARLA: No. No, but there's so much that is.

ANGEL: It's gonna be okay.

DARLA: I knew you'd help me. I knew if I could only get to you. Funny. That's why they brought me back... to get to you. Now I find I need you, just as I've always needed you. You'll make the pain stop, won't you?

ANGEL: Takes time.

DARLA: Takes moments. (exposes her throat) Do it - now.

ANGEL: What?

DARLA: Make me what I was again!

ANGEL: Darla...

DARLA: You said you'd help me!

ANGEL: I will. I want to. But - not like this.

DARLA: Turn me back. God! (crying) I can't bear this pounding in my chest for another instant!

ANGEL: It's gift. Too feel that heart beat - to know, really and for once, that you're alive. You're human again, Darla. You know what that means?

DARLA: Of course I do. It means pain and suffering and disease and death. I released you from this world once, I gave you eternal life. Now it's time for you to return the favor.

ANGEL: Favor? Is that what you think? You think you did me a favor. You damned me.

DARLA: Fine. Fine then, if it's such a punishment, take out your revenge, pay me back! Please.

ANGEL: I can't.

(...)

(she runs out)

ANGEL: Darla, wait!

DARLA: No! Don't look for me again.
