Julie Benz: Darla

Quotes 

• Darla : No, I haven't been nourishing it. I haven't given this baby a thing. I'm dead. It's been nourishing me. These feelings that I'm having, they're not mine. They're coming from it.

  Angel : You don't know that.

  Darla : Of course I do. We both do. Angel, I don't have a soul. It does. And right now, that soul is inside of me, but soon, it won't be, and then...

  Angel : Darla...

  Darla : I won't be able to love it. I won't even be able to remember that I loved it.

  [Starts to cry] 

  Darla : And I want to remember. I...

• Darla : Angel, our baby's gonna die right here in this alley. You died in an alley, remember?

  Angel : I remember.

  Darla : I wanna say I'm sorry. I wanna say it and mean it, but I can't. Aren't you gonna tell me it's okay?

  Angel : No.

  Darla : No. It's really not, is it? We did so many terrible things together. So much destruction, so much - pain. We can't make up for any of it. You know that, don't you?

  Angel : Yeah.

  Darla : This child - Angel, it's the one good thing we ever did together. The only good thing... You make sure to tell him that.

• Darla : Doesn't anyone wanna sit back here with me?

  Cordelia Chase : We're good.

  Charles Gunn : Yeah, it's, comfy.

  Darla : I promise I won't throw anyone out of the car. Not while it's moving.

  Fred : It's not that we don't trust you. I mean, we don't trust you, but, the fact is, your water broke all over the back seat.

  Darla : Oh.

• Darla : [to Angel about Daniel Holtz]  That's why this is happening. His family, his children. What that must have been like for him. Doesn't seem so funny now. Does it?

• Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Now it's up to us to protect Angel's unborn child. Darla, we're trying to take you out of here. Relax. The trick is to breathe. Like this.

  [Wesley demonstrates short panting breaths] 

  Wesley Wyndam-Pryce : Heh, heh, heh, hoh, hoh, hoh, heh, heh, heh...

  Darla : I... Don't...

  [sits up and sends Wesley, Cordelia, Gunn and Fred all flying backwards, away from the car and morphs into her vampface] 

  Darla : Breathe!

• Darla : Look at it. Listen to it. Can you smell it? This world, this horrible world. Why would anyone want to bring a baby into it?

  Angel : To make it better maybe.

  Darla : Or to destroy it, finally.

• Angel : You love it.

  Darla : Completely. I love it completely. I-I-I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as this life that's inside of me.

• Darla : [to Angel]  You lied much better when you didn't have a soul.

• Angel : You're gonna be okay.

  Darla : No. No, I don't think so. Once he's gone, I won't be okay. I won't be okay at all. I don't know what I'll be.

• Darla : What do I have to offer a child, a human child, besides ugly death?
