Angel, Season 4

Connor:
They hate us... because we're special.

Girl:
I don't hate you. Please.

Darla:
They're scared because of what you've done not because of what you are.

Connor:
They wanted to kill me when I was still inside of you.

Darla:
But that changed when they saw you, held you in their arms, felt the warmth of your skin, the goodness in your heart.

Connor:
And it will happen again when they hold my child. It's the only way.

Darla:
You have a choice, Connor. That is something more precious than you'll ever know.

Connor:
What choice? They're hunting us like animals!

Darla:
Because you're acting like one. As a vampire I killed without mercy or remorse because I didn't have a soul. What's your excuse?

Connor:
You think I wanna do this?

Darla:
Then don't.

Connor:
I have to.

Darla:
Why? [Gestures to Cordelia in the next room] Because she told you? There are things happening, Connor, things that I can't... It has to be your choice. You can stop this.

Connor:
Her blood for our baby's. It's fair, isn't it?

Girl:
Please, I wanna go home.

Connor:
Shut up!

Darla:
This isn't you, Connor.

Connor:
You've been gone a long time, Mom. How would you know?

Darla:
Because we shared a soul. I feel the pain, the anger, the hurt, like it were my own. But most of all, I feel the good in you and no matter how much you're beaten or twisted or lied to, it's still there in your heart. I know it, and deep down, you know it, too.
