Businessman: The thing I remember most was thinking how artful it was. In the dark, they looked just like they were sleeping. It wasn't until I bent down and kissed them good night that I felt how cold they were. You grabbed me, and I thought, who would go to so much trouble to arrange them like that?

(morphs into Margaret)

Margaret: But you see, that's what makes you different than other beasts. They kill to feed, but you took more kinds of pleasure in it than any creature that walks or crawls.

ANGEL: Oh, God!

Margaret: Yeah, cry out. Make a scene.

(morphs to Daniel)

Daniel: I was to be married that week, but then, as I recall, you knew that.

ANGEL: It wasn't me.

(Daniel morphs into Jenny)

JENNY: It wasn't you?

ANGEL: A demon isn't a man. I was a man once.

JENNY: Oh, yes, and what a man you were.

(Jenny morphs to Margaret)

Margaret: A drunken, whoring layabout, and a terrible disappointment to your parents.

ANGEL: I was young. I never had a chance to...

Margaret: To die of syphilis? You were a worthless being before you were *ever* a monster.

ANGEL: Stop it! Stop...

JENNY: (gently) I don't wanna hurt you, Angel, but you have to understand. Cruelty's the only thing you ever had a true talent for.

ANGEL: That's not true.

JENNY: Shh. Rest. Rest. You mistake it for a curse, Angel, but it's not. It's your destiny. I'll show you. I'll show you.
