come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Lindsey: Yes, Darla's dying. from The Trial (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Lindsey is sitting in his apartment, drinking. Angel breaks open the door.)
ANGEL: I may not be able to come in, Lindsey, but...
LINDSEY: (taking another sip) Wipe your feet.
ANGEL: What?
LINDSEY: Wipe your feet. You can come in.
(Angel just stands there.)
LINDSEY: Jeez. I invite you in already.
(Lindsey goes to pour himself another drink. Angel grabs his throat and slams his head onto the counter top.)
LINDSEY: Does it really look like you need to throttle me for information?
ANGEL: Need to?
(Angel pulls Lindsey back up and pushes him away from him.)
LINDSEY: Yes, she's dying. Yes, those medical reports you saw are real. You want a second opinion? (Picks up some files and throws them at Angel) Here. How about a third? Hmm? How about a tenth? I used every connection Wolfram and Hart had. (Points at the file Angel is looking at) That's my own personal doctor. They all say the same thing: syphilitic heart condition - terminal. Looks like our Darla was a working girl in the New World. Syphilis was what she was dying from when she was human. - Now she's human again. Kind of picking up where she left off. Of course, today something like that could be cleared up with a few antibiotics - if you catch it in time. We're about a month and - what? 400 years too late?
ANGEL: So you didn't believe them either. - So it's true.
LINDSEY: I had to be sure.
ANGEL: Why?
LINDSEY: Why? Because I don't want her to die any more than you do.
(Angel looks him up and down for a moment.)
ANGEL: Do you love her, Lindsey? Is that what this is? Heh - look at you. A few short months with her and you go all schoolboy. I was with her for *150* years.
LINDSEY: But you never loved her.
ANGEL: I wasn't capable of it and neither are you.
LINDSEY: Maybe not. - But I'd save her if I could. And you can. And you won't. So you got a choice, pal: waste the last two months of her life searching for a cure that doesn't exist, watch her wither away and die - or you can use the only real power you got. You can make this disease go away today if you wanted to.
ANGEL: By killing her again.
LINDSEY: By giving her life! Eternal life.
ANGEL: And then what, Lindsey? You and her can be together? If I were to do it - if I turned her, how long do you think it would be before she hunted you down and had you for breakfast? - I've got to say, I mean, that thought alone almost makes it worth it. But - there's another way, and I'll find it.
(Angel throws the medical files at Lindsey and walks out.)
