Angelus: (vo) There's moments in your life that make you, that set the course of who you're gonna be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes... they're not. I'll show you what I mean.

Galway, Ireland, 1753

ANGEL: (drunk, with an Irish accent) We'll be back when we've found a bit more cash money! Keep the girls warm! (to friend) Come on. We'll sneak in and take some of me father's silver. He'll never miss it. He eats with his hands, the pig. (friend passes out) Ah. Why don't you rest right here.

Spies Darla, follows her.

ANGEL: So, I'd ask myself... What's a lady of your station doing alone in an alley with the reputation that this one has?

DARLA: Maybe she's lonely.

ANGEL: In that case, I'd offer myself as escort to protect you from harm and to while away the dull hours.

DARLA: You're very gracious.

ANGEL: Hm. It's often been said.

DARLA: Are you certain you're up to the challenge?

ANGEL: Milady, you'll find that with the exception of an honest day's work, there's no challenge I'm not prepared to face. Oh... But you're a pretty thing. Where are you from?

DARLA: Around. Everywhere.

ANGEL: I never been anywhere myself. Always wanted to see the world, but...

DARLA: I could show you.

ANGEL: Could you, then?

DARLA: Things you've never seen, never even heard of.

ANGEL: Sounds exciting.

DARLA: It is. And frightening.

ANGEL: I'm not afraid. Show me. Show me your world.

DARLA: Close your eyes.
