Angel*: Yes, you are a spawn of Satan, all the Hail Mary's in the world aren't going to help. The lord will use you and smite you down. He's like that. Drusilla: what can I do? Angel*: Fulfil His Plan for you child. Be evil. Perform evil works. Attack the less fortunate. You can start small, laugh at a cripple. You'll feel better. Just give in. Drusilla: No... I want to be good.... I want to be pure.... Angel*: We all do, at first. World doesn't work that way Drusilla: father I beg you , please please help me. |
