[Dru is sitting in the chair behind Lindsey's desk, while Darla is sitting on the edge of it.]
Darla: Lindsey. I've missed you. Close the door. [Neither Lindsey nor Lilah move.] Sweetpea, if we wanted you dead, you'd have never have made it out of the wine cellar. Now close the door.
[Lindsey closes the door.]
Drusilla: He's got cow eyes. Big and black. Moo...
Lindsey: [moves over to Darla] You spared me. Why'd you spare me, Darla?
Darla: Do you really have to ask? [She leans in close to smell him] Hmm. I'm in love with you.
[They look at each other for a few moments, then Darla burst out laughing. Lindsey jerks his head a little. Dru and Lilah join Darla's laughter.]
Darla: Shut up, Lilah.
Drusilla: Shh!
Darla: Well, look at you two, such pretty scars.
Lindsey: You've put us in a difficult position, Darla.
Darla: Hmm, have I? Smart young lawyers, [runs a hand up Lindsey's arm] hungry for their big break and whoops boss gets eaten. Someone has to step in. Someone promising, pretty, with questionable ethics and twelve-hundred dollar suits that look good on the six o'clock news.
Lilah: You think they'll promote him?
Darla: [to Lilah] Or you. In any case, that's why you're here. I've decided to keep the line of communication open between us and Wolfram and Hart.
Lindsey: What for?
Darla: I believe we can help each other.
Lindsey: I don't think I understand. What is it exactly that you want, Darla?
Darla: Power. See, Lindsey, during my stint as Wolfram and Hart's puppet, something occurred to me. I loathe being used. If I recall I sent you a fifteen-body-memo to that effect. We plan on being big players in this town, Dru and I. And while you can't give me what I want, you have the things I need to get it. Money. Connections.
Lilah: We're no good to you dead, Darla. The Senior Partners are looking for someone to blame for your massacre.
Darla: But surely they wouldn't kill both of you. Seems like such a waste. Well, I guess, whoever's left standing will be our liaison.
Lindsey: Liaison to what?
Darla: To the world above of course. In the meantime, we'll focus on the world below.
Lindsey: This power that you want does it have a target? You going after Angel?
Darla: Don't say that! Not everything is about Angel, Lindsey. I just want to have some fun.
Lindsey: Well, you see, I'm surprised. Because I thought that you would make him your top priority.
Darla: I spent two-hundred and fifty years without Angel. You think just because I went through a little human phase I'd go all gooey?
Lindsey: No. No, I thought you'd kill him.
Darla: All in good time, my love. All in good time.
