Angel: You took me places, showed me things, huh? You blew the top off my head. But you never made me happy.

Darla: But that-that cheerleader did? We were together 150 years! We shared everything. You're saying - never?

Angel: You couldn't understand.

Darla: I understand alright. Guy gets taste of something fresh and he thinks he's touching God.

Angel: It wasn't about...

Darla: Oh, you bet your ass it was! There was a time, in the early years, when you would have said I was the definition of bliss! Buffy wasn't happiness. She was just new!

Angel: You know, you are getting awfully bent over this, Darla. I couldn't feel that with you, because I didn't have a soul. But then I got a second chance, just like you have.

Darla: What a poster child for soulfulness you are. This is no life, Angel! Before you got neutered you weren't just any vampire, you were a legend! Nobody could keep up with you - not even me. You don't learn that kind of darkness. It's innate. It was in you before we ever met. You said you can smell me? Well, I can smell you, too. My boy is still in there and he wants out!
