Angel, Season 2

[Jeeves releases the stakes and they hurtle towards Angel.]

Darla:
Noooooooooooooooo!

[She squirms, her eyes closed. She opens them to see Angel in front of her, once again fully dressed but panting, hunched over, barely able to stand.]

Darla:
Angel!

Jeeves:
Congratulations. You've passed the third test by accepting death. I'm told no one's ever gone that far before in terms of sacrifice. Kudos.

Angel:
Pay up.

Jeeves:
Of course. [To Darla] You're a lucky woman, and soon you'll have your whole life ahead. Use it wisely.

Angel:
Hey, Jeeves, unless this fortune cookie crap is some new kind of torture, what you say we get on with it, huh?"

Jeeves:
This way, miss.

[He puts his hands on the sides of her head and they both close their eyes as Angel tries to straighten up so he can get a better view. Jeeves opens his eyes and lets his hands drop.]

Jeeves:
Oh!

Darla:
What?

Angel:
What is it?

Jeeves:
This is very embarrassing.

Angel:
What is?

Jeeves:
Not to mention unprecedented. She's...she's been given new life once before by supernatural means, yes?"

Darla:
They brought me back.

Angel:
What are you saying?

Jeeves:
I can't help you.

Angel:
We had a bargain. She's earned a second chance.

Jeeves:
She's living her second chance. [The wall shivers and a set of stairs leading up appears.] But you played the game magnificently. [Angel gives him a dark look and Jeeves adjusts his cuffs.] Perhaps you should have told us that she was brought to life before this all started. I truly am sorry, sir. The fact of the matter is... [Steps back and dissolves ...there is nothing I can do.

[Angel doesn't move.]

Darla:
Angel...

[Angel reacts angrily.]
