(Flashback to Marseilles, 1767, a fire alarm is rining. Elisabeth and James are dancing down the street laughing, followed by a more sober Angelus and Darla.)

DARLA: Young love.

ANGELUS: Give it a century.

JAMES: A century? A mere hundred years?

ELISABETH: I would need a thousand just to sketch the perfect plane of your face.

JAMES: I would need ten thousand just to name the color of your eyes.

ANGELUS: They're green, but take your time. In fact, don't. We have a ship to catch and Holtz may not be far behind.

ELISABETH: You know neither poetry nor love, Angelus.

DARLA: He knows other things. Marvelously vile and ripping things. Didn't we eat a poet in Madrid?

ANGELUS: Troubadour.

JAMES: Everything's closed! Pity. I wanted to spend some of the Count's gold on you.

ANGELUS: We'll need it for the voyage.

ELISABETH: The Count DeLeon was a little rich for my blood. I'll be full for a week!

ANGELUS: The fire was excessive.

JAMES: Of course it was. We burned his villa to the ground!

ELISABETH: We left a mark, made a statement!

ANGELUS: Ah, a statement as in 'here, we are, Holz. Please, hunt us down.'

JAMES: Ah, who cares about Holtz?

DARLA: You would if you knew him. He's killed scores of us. Hunted Angelus and I across half of Europe. God, he follows us to Morocco, what then? The new world?

JAMES: I say we stay and fight the bastard.

ANGELUS: Yeah, but you're an idiot.

JAMES: I don't believe he's the most formidable vampire killer in the world. None lives to tell the tale and all. *You* lived to tell the tale.

ELISABETH: (to Darla) I heard he trapped you both in a barn and *you* fled, leaving him to die.

JAMES: It's not true.

ANGELUS: It's entirely true. She hit me with a shovel, wished me luck and rode off on our only horse.

DARLA: (smiling at Angelus) Life is full of surprises.

ANGELUS: (smiling back) Ah, life is boring. You're full of surprises.

DARLA: Of course when you finally did catch up with me in Vienna I had to pay for my sins, again and again.

ANGELUS: Hmm, can you even begin to fathom the things that we did? Of course not. You're in love.
