Angel: Darla

"Don't be so glum, eh? The way you tell it, one Slayer snuffs another one rises. I figure, there is a new chosen one getting all chosen even as we speak. I tell you what, when and if this new bird shows up, I'll give you first crack at it."

- Spike

Quotes

 * Angel: It makes sense. She was a vampire. Now she has a soul.
 * Cordelia Chase: That makes sense? So why don't you go around smashing mirrors?
 * Angel: Because I don't have to look at myself in them.

....
 * Darla: Lindsey. You never talk about yourself, Lindsey. You have a girlfriend? Boyfriend? Someone special?
 * Lindsey McDonald: There's no one.
 * Darla: No. No, there really isn't, is there? You can be with someone for a hundred and fifty years. Think you know them. Still, doesn't work out. Angelus. Oh, you should have seen us together.
 * Lindsey McDonald: He was a different person then.
 * Darla: And so was I... Now do you know what we've become?
 * Lindsey McDonald: Enemies.
 * Darla: Oh, no. Much worse. Now we're soul mates.

....
 * Darla: Do you even know what I am?
 * The Master: A woman of some property. No husband. No inheritance. Yes. I know what you are.
 * Darla: I'm a whore.
 * The Master: Well, yes, that too. You should have asked for a priest long ago, child. Your life may have been the better for it.
 * Darla: And you should have paid me a visit before today, Father. Your life may have been more interesting because of it.

....
 * Cordelia Chase: Well, before he said he could smell her. How about we cruise around with the top down, and you take big whiffs?

....
 * Angel: We need to narrow it down further. Keep looking.
 * Cordelia Chase: And my sister's living in Unit Three Nineteen.
 * Angel: You don't have a sister.
 * Cordelia Chase: Sure I do. My older, way older, like, four hundred-years-older, blonde sister, Darla. No last name. I've been desperately trying to find her because Mom and Dad are in the coma. Sue, the property manager, was very helpful. She even cried.
