Angel, Season 2

[Angel and Darla are sitting in her dingy motel room, Darla on the bed, Angel on a chair by the door.]

Angel:
Maybe it would be different. We don't know. Maybe, uh... because, you know, I have a soul if...if I did bite you...

Darla:
No!

Angel:
We don't know what it would do to you.

Darla:
Angel, I've seen it now. Everything you're going through, everything you've gone through. I felt it. I felt how you care. The way no one's ever cared before. Not for me. [Gives him a tiny smile] That's all I need from you.

Angel:
That's not enough.

Darla:
It is.

Angel:
How could the Powers allow you to be brought back, dangle a second chance and take it away like this?

Darla:
Maybe this is my second chance.

Angel:
To die?

Darla:
Yes. To die. The way I was supposed to die in the first place.

[They look at each other for a moment before Darla turns away drawing a shaky breath. Angel gets up and, still limping slightly, goes to sit next to her.]

Angel:
I'm not gonna leave you.

[Darla looks at him trying not to cry.]

Angel:
Every moment you have left I'm gonna be by your side. You're never gonna be alone again."

[He drapes his, still burned looking, right hand around her shoulder and pulls her close as she begins to cry.]
