(Angel dreams again of the mutual biting with Darla.)

ANGEL: (as Bethany arrives, waking him) Darla?

BETHANY: It's just me.

ANGEL: What's up? What ... what's -- is there trouble?

BETHANY: I just didn't want to sleep. (Sits on the bed) I heard a voice in here and thought maybe you were awake.

ANGEL: I was having a nightmare.

BETHANY: It looked like a pretty happy dream -- or maybe the covers were just rumpled. I figured I'd come in here. It's nicer than my room.

ANGEL: Is there something, uh, something you want to talk about?

BETHANY: No. I figured we'd have fun. You can do stuff to me and, you know, we'll have some fun.

ANGEL: That's not gonna happen, Bethany.

BETHANY: What, you think I'm some frightened little mouse? I've done stuff. I can make you happy.

ANGEL: You wouldn't like me when I'm happy.

BETHANY: (slides a hand up his leg on top of the covers) Come on. (As Angel looks at her he suddenly sees Darla instead of Bethany there) It doesn't mean anything.

ANGEL: (grabs her hand as she slides it under the covers) I said stop it!

(Bethany pulls away screaming Get off me! as the bed rattles around for a moment.)

ANGEL: You wanna make love, but you don't wanna be touched?

BETHANY: (laughs) Make love? What are you, from the eighteenth century? I was just, I just wanted --

ANGEL: What'd you want?

BETHANY: Are you shocked I'm a great big slut?

ANGEL: You'll find I'm not easily shocked, Bethany.

BETHANY: Everyone thinks I'm so fragile and innocent. Men love it.

ANGEL: Do you?

BETHANY: Do I love it? Who cares. I'm, I'm, like the chambermaid. I just leave. When a guy's on me, I ... I made up the room, I showed him in, and I leave till he's gone. Come back and clean up the mess.

ANGEL: And the men?

BETHANY: What, you think they'd notice or care I'm not there? Would you?

ANGEL: I don't think everyone's as bad as you'd have them be.

BETHANY: Oh, right. You love the people. Love them so much, you got a hundred rooms to be all alone in. I'm thinking maybe you're not exactly qualified to help me with my problem.

ANGEL: Maybe I'm the only one who is. Try to get some sleep.

BETHANY: Who's Darla?

ANGEL: Good night, Bethany.

(Bethany leavs. As she passes through the living-room-kitchen area we see Darla peek from behind a wall and look towards Angel's bedroom.)
