ANGEL: Darla, Anglo-Saxon derivation, meaning 'dear one'. Huh, didn't come into common usage until more than a 100 years after she was born. He must have given it to her. I didn't even know her real name. Any luck?

WESLEY: No yet, no. Working on it.

ANGEL: Something'll come up.

WESLEY: Yes. That's what I fear. Angel, you must admit, your record when it comes to Darla has been... spotty at best.

ANGEL: I killed her Wesley. And she came back. They brought her back and now I need to know why. I mean why like this? Why human?

WESLEY: Perhaps human was the only way Wolfram and Hart could bring her back and hope to control her with any degree of success. Angel, I don't supposed it occurred to you that *this* might be why they brought her back? You have all your attention focused on finding this one woman.

ANGEL: So you think Wolfram and Hart went to all this trouble just to keep me distracted? Take me out of the game?

WESLEY: It is possible. And if that's the case...

ANGEL: It's working.
