Holtz: releasing Angel's soul to suffer for all eternity only makes his destruction more just, more fitting. from Lullaby (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
HOLTZ: You knew. You knew and you didn't tell me.
SAHJAHN: Okay! So I left out one teeny weeny little detail. It didn't seem all that important.
HOLTZ: Not important? Angelus with a soul?
SAHJAHN: It doesn't mean anything!
HOLTZ: It means everything.
SAHJAHN: See? This is *why* I didn't mention it. So Angel has a soul. Big whoop! So did Attila the Hun! Not to mention a heart as big as all outdoors when it came to gift giving. He is *still* a vampire! Angel, not Attila.
HOLTZ: He's not the same vampire.
SAHJAHN: Of course he is! His hair is a little shorter, a little spikier. He's using product. But it's the same guy.
HOLTZ: No. He's changed. He's... different.
SAHJAHN: Look. I don't know what kind of moral mind games you've been torturing yourself with, but can't let this soul thing get in the way of what you swore to do.
HOLTZ: Get in the way?
SAHJAHN: That's what this is about, right? You find out Angel has a soul, now you're wondering if things are a little murkier. Ethically speaking.
HOLTZ: Things have never been clearer. Releasing his soul to suffer for all eternity only makes his destruction more just, more fitting.
SAHJAHN: Oh. Well, then what's the problem?
HOLTZ: You've had me hunting the wrong prey.
SAHJAHN: Ah! Right. Because an Angel with a soul is going to be a slightly different challenge from an Angel without a soul.
HOLTZ: I must know everything.
SAHJAHN: Right. No, gotcha. My mistake.
HOLTZ: You've kept nothing else from me then?
SAHJAHN: Ah. No. Nothing I can think of.
