[wesley/lilah mix] no children
01 | ALL IS VIOLENT, ALL IS BRIGHT | GOD IS MY ASTRONAUT
(instrumental)
WESLEY: They were probably as surprised as anyone. But they were both lost, lonely...
FRED: No matter how lonely I was, I would never-
WESLEY: (pointedly) Things happen, Fred. When you're alienated from the people who care about you, you start to look other places.
FRED: Hm. Lilah.
WESLEY: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war.
FRED: But you hated her...didn't you?
WESLEY: It's not always about holding hands...
02 | EVIL NIGHT TOGETHER | JILL TRACY
Let's wile away the hours
Let's spend an evil night together
No need for cake or flowers
Let's spend an evil night together
LILAH: And all this time, you're lying through your teeth. (mocking) Wes is so apathetic. Wesley doesn't care.
WESLEY: I had to raise him. Angel is- necessary.
LILAH: For what?
WESLEY: Fighting people like you.
LILAH: Good news is, you might've done me a favor. Soon as he dried off, Angel kicked Connor out of the hotel. Poor little guy, friendless, homeless... umm... looks like Connor's gonna need someone who cares, like a big sister, or a... Mrs. Robinson, if that's what he's into. I thought you liked the bad girls, Wes.
WESLEY: I don't need to hear your evil plans.
LILAH: No, it just turns you on, knowing I have 'em.
WESLEY: Shut up, Lilah.
LILAH: Make me.
03 | FALLING THROUGH YOUR CLOTHES | THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
Pinwheel spark break loose and roll
where you stop nobody knows
just a thought but gone down
it’s been carved into a point understand
turned into someone that you only know
when you’re falling through your clothes
LILAH: Mmm. That didn't suck. Well... maybe just a little bit. Mmmm....
WESLEY: Perhaps that's something we can expand on next time.
LILAH: What makes you think there will be a next time?
WESLEY: Because you can't resist me.
LILAH: I think you have that backwards.
04 | HERO | THE ASTEROID GALAXY TOUR
Hey hero, who are you
Aint got no hit, aint got no clue
now give up your name
let us down
dont let us down
LILAH: Watch the dirty looks. That's what got me going in the first place.
(Lilah begins to pull on her clothes)
LILAH: I'll give you this: you sure know how to channel your rage, frustration, and hate. Always a bigger turn on than love.
WESLEY: You still here?
LILAH: (laughing) I'm starting to like you, Wes. (serious) Don't go making more of this than it is. I'm not one of the doe-y eyed girls of Angel Investigations. - Don't be thinking about me when I'm gone.
WESLEY: I wasn't thinking about you when you were here.
LILAH: So - your former boss - has a soul - and you're losing yours. - Why, you're just new all over - aren't ya?
05 | RID OF ME| PJ HARVEY
I beg you, my darlin'
Don't leave me, I'm hurting
I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
Oh, you're not rid of me
YeaH, you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'm gonna twist your head I say
'Til you say
Don't you wish you never, never met her
Don't you, don't you wish you never met her
(Lilah's sitting on his desk near the window. She's done her hair in two pigtail braids with little white bows, she's wearing glasses, a short skirt, a white oxford shirt and a blue cardigan sweater. She's swinging her feet like a schoolgirl, acting coy.)
LILAH: (in Southern accent) Isn't this what you like? Big brain and a tight little-
WESLEY: (rolls eyes) Lilah.
LILAH: (in Southern accent) Oh, forget about that evil witch. Let's talk about me. I'm good and pure and science turns me on, and-and one day if I pray hard enough and eat all my vegetables, I just might just have hips.
06 | VENUS IN FURS | BECK
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
LILAH: I just want you to know why I'm going first tonight.
WESLEY: If I let you go at all.
LILAH: You mean, like you let your little slave girl go? Justine, is it?
WESLEY: So, you finally heard about that?
LILAH: I heard. (whispers in his ear, then nibbles it) I'm betting she heard a few things, too.
WESLEY: The walls are soundproofed. Though she did call you impossibly loud.
07 | WE'RE GOING TO HELL | CURSIVE
So show me some remorse
Show me a little guilt
Don’t tell me we’re just animals
Awaiting our next kill
I’ve been disciplined by religion, by fear
So I can’t quite seem to keep my thought pure
I’ve a hunger for the deviant
And a thirst for worse
We’re going to hell, we’re going to hell
We’re going to hell, we’re going to hell my friends
LILAH: I was just doing my job. You're the one who decided to take what you overheard and give it to the good-n-plentys. So before you go all righteous fury, figure out who you're really mad at here.
WESLEY: What was the real plan?
LILAH: Let's just say, I could've had Lorne's brain in a jar, but I left it in his head 'cause he's a friend of yours.
WESLEY: What's that supposed to do? Lull me into trusting you again?
LILAH: If I'd thought you'd ever trust me, I would've never played you like that.
WESLEY: It's never simple, is it?
08 | OH NAPOLEON | THE ACORN
Bite my tongue, I taste your blood.
Never thought that I could bite hard enough.
Eyes of fire in your skull.
You've got the kind of eyes that burns goose flesh off.
Oh your charm is getting cold.
This kind of love ain't bought or sold.
I know you tried if truth be told,
But I still cast you to a bed of coal.
LILAH: Fine. Slept at Wolfram and Hart. FYI, safest place to be in case of an apocalypse. You on the other hand- Hmm. I bet I could make you feel better. (leans in to kiss him, but he turns and walks away) You know, it's weird. Rain of fire, whole city burning-why do I feel a chill?
WESLEY: I can't do this anymore.
LILAH: Yeah, yeah, I've heard that a million times, cowboy. We both know how this song ends. You, me, broken furniture...
WESLEY: It's over, Lilah.
09 | NO CHILDREN | THE MOUNTAIN GOATS
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die
WESLEY: This isn't about Fred. Or anyone else, for that matter. It's about right and wrong.
LILAH: And you have such a clear grip on those concepts.
WESLEY: I've made mistakes.
LILAH: You're making a big one now. (walks up to him, puts her arms around his neck) I could wear the glasses again.
WESLEY: Don't embarrass yourself. (she pulls away) There is a line, Lilah. Black and white, good and evil.
LILAH: Funny thing about black and white- you mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.
10 | LOVE IS LIKE A BOTTLE OF GIN | THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
You just get out what they put in
and they never put in enough
Love is like a bottle of gin
but a bottle of gin is not like love
LILAH: I had to make him believe I was desperate.
WESLEY: Not much of a stretch, really, is it? And you always wanted Angelus.
LILAH: No, Wolfram and Hart did, but it doesn't matter anymore. I just-I just want my life back. All my pretty things. I'm selfish that way. That's why we wouldn't have worked out.
WESLEY: (softly) There are many reasons we wouldn't have worked out, Lilah.
11 | WASP NEST | THE NATIONAL
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
You're a wasp nest
You're a wasp nest
WESLEY: You're leaving.
LILAH: Huh. No rest for the wicked. You should go back to sleep.
WESLEY: Do you really have to go?
LILAH: Why? You missing me already?
(She picks up her keys and her purse from the bedside table, and the signed dollar bill Wes gave her falls to the floor. She takes her jacket and walks out the door.)
12 | AWAKE MY SOUL | MUMFORD & SONS
How fickle my heart
and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find
any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles
on things I don't know
This weakness I feel
I must finally show
LILAH: Surprise!
WESLEY: Well, look, a bribe. How thoughtful. No, it can't be a bribe. Must be a setup.
LILAH: Can't it just be... a gift? Open it.
(He opens the package to find an antique helmet from a suit of armor. Wes is truly impressed.)
LILAH: We seem to be butting heads lately. Now you'll have the advantage.
WESLEY: This must have cost a fortune.
LILAH: Yes. It'll take you hours to thank me properly. (kisses him) Fortunately, I've taken the afternoon off.
WESLEY: (stops the kissing) I have to leave actually. But, thank you, Lilah, for the gift.
(Wesley leaves the apartment. Lilah starts putting the wrapping away, and notices the magazine Wes was reading is open to Fred's article.)
13 | LOVESTAIN | JOSE GONZALEZ
You left a lovestain on my heart
And you left a bloodstain on the ground
But blood comes off easily
But blood comes off easily
You left my heartstained
LILAH: Why so glum? It is kinda what you wanted, isn't it? I mean, deep down. Me out of the picture-utterly, finally. You can't get outer than this. It makes your life simpler, doesn't it? Cleaner?
WESLEY: I didn't want this.
LILAH: Come on, what are you worried about, Wesley? You hated yourself for being with me. Or maybe you just hated yourself for loving being with me. (laughs) Hey, semantics. In any case, we both knew, sooner or later, it would come to a messy end. For one of us, anyway. So ease up on that furrowed brow. You're free now. No longer encumbered with the secret shame of our relationship.
WESLEY: It wasn't a relationship.
LILAH: There's a signed dollar bill in your wallet I think proves different. You knew how I felt.
WESLEY: You don't feel.
LILAH: The only true thing I ever-
WESLEY: You didn't love me. You couldn't.
LILAH: We'll never know now, will we?
(...)
WESLEY: (lifts the battle-axe) I'm sorry, Lilah.
LILAH: Oh, Wes, we don't have that word in our vocabulary. Not people like you
14 | THE GHOST OF YOU | THE STRING QUARTET
(instrumental)
LILAH: You broke in here for my contract?
WESLEY: I'm here to release you from it.
LILAH: Wesley.
WESLEY: You've suffered enough.
(he lights the paper on fire)
WESLEY: I want you to find some peace.
LILAH: Gallant to the end...but I knew what I signed up for.
WESLEY: It's done.
LILAH: Look in the drawer.
(Wesley opens the drawer, takes out a paper from the same file)
LILAH: Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything. But it means something that you tried.
