(BUFFY SPEAKING)
(SHRIEKING)
BUFFY: Yay me.
(SIGHING)
XANDER: Her name's Simone Doffler.
Came up with the Chicago Squad
till Rona shipped her over to Andrew in Italy.
Thought a less urban environment might soften her rough edges.
BUFFY: Sounds like he's passing the buck to me.
Those other girls Andrew's as well?
XANDER: Hmm. One of them.
The other three we haven't ID'd.
I've contacted the squads and no one's run off.
If they're Slayers, they're not ours.
(BUFFY SIGHS)
Guns.
XANDER: This is bad for us, Buffy.
Andrew's Wiccan wiped the guards' memories,
but anyone finds out a Slayer's packing boom-sticks,
forget what she's planning to use them for,
and your Twilight bunch is gonna go ape-feces.
BUFFY: Yeah, the good folk who think we're not human.
They're gonna love it when we start acting exactly like we are.
XANDER: So, we find her. She peeps that little Mohawk out,
we'll play whack-a-mole, before she starts something.
BUFFY: Don't give her so much credit, Xan. I started it.
Willow says my little Thomas Crown Affair
was what got people so riled up in the first place.
XANDER: Is that why she took off so suddenly?
Because you're an internal jewel thief?
Which is, sidebar, incredibly sexy.
BUFFY: No, the Willow thing is, um, complicated.
XANDER: It's always complicated with girls. That's why I need a man.
BUFFY: That would be nice.
XANDER: (STUTTERING) I mean a guy.
Not a man, a guy, for the guy bonding.
BUFFY: Well, Andrew...
XANDER: Do you really intend to finish that sentence?
BUFFY: No, it's a nice length now. Any other pressing items?
XANDER: Well, I was saving this for your birthday,
but we did locate a vamp nest.
BUFFY: Ooh, goody! It's been ages.
Just for me, or do I need a squad?
XANDER: I'd bring a date.
BUFFY: Then I'll take Satsu.
XANDER: Well, you can head out in the morning.
Probably not too early.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
BUFFY: Is my little sister getting drunk down there?
XANDER: A, she is in fact of legal age in Scotland,
B, we couldn't afford enough beer to get her drunk if you stole the Yankees,
and C, uh, "little"?
BUFFY: She seems happier.
Like a weight's been lifted.
XANDER: I guess. I didn't notice.
BUFFY: This was a good call, Xan. The party. They needed it.
XANDER: You gonna join them? Get on the dance floor?
BUFFY: I don't know. XANDER: Come on.
Let's show them how it was done back in the day.
BUFFY: Which day was that?
XANDER: I think it was a Thursday. You wore blue.
Seriously, Buff. You spend too much time alone.
(GRUNTING)
(SHOUTING)
BUFFY: And what have we learned?
SATSU: Scotland is slippery?
BUFFY: Do I look amused?
SATSU: I really can't say.
BUFFY: Wow, you look...
Actually, you look like me in a dream I had one time.
SATSU: I'm not as fast as you.
BUFFY: You will be.
SATSU: Ew!
You're my best fighter, Satsu.
You could lead this crew someday.
SATSU: Are you leaving?
BUFFY: Hold still.
You could lead this crew, or you could be a corpse
if you don't figure out a few key rules.
Of which number two is not landing on your face.
SATSU: Did we skip number one?
BUFFY: Number one is, you are always in danger.
Right now, you're in terrible danger.
SATSU: Why?
BUFFY: You're in love with me.
(GROWLING)
SATSU: Stupid lip gloss.
BUFFY: It wasn't just the lip gloss.
I sort of would've figured it out anyway.
(SCREAMING)
And I'm pretty sure other people have.
SATSU: Are you kicking me out?
(VAMPIRE SHRIEKING)
BUFFY: You are so missing the point.
I think it's the sweetest thing ever.
VAMPIRE: The sweetest thing will be your blood...
(BUFFY SCREAMS)
Please. We're talking.
SATSU: Don't make fun of me. This isn't some crush.
BUFFY: Your kiss couldn't have woken me up if it was.
VAMPIRE: Now, girl, you will feel the wrath of...
BUFFY: Oh, God!
Satsu, I do remember what it's like to be in love.
(SCREAMING)
I know how much it can hurt. And honestly, I think it's kind of awesome.
You're hot, you have great taste,
you're a hell of a Slayer, and you smell good.
SATSU: But you're not gay.
BUFFY: Not so you'd notice.
The fact is, knowing that someone...
You know, that someone really cool feels that way about me,
it makes me a little bit less lonely.
SATSU: Then what's wrong with...
BUFFY: It's fine for me. It's bad for you.
People who love me tend to,
oh,
die.
Maybe go to a hell dimension, or they leave.
They all leave, even my friends.
Sooner or later everybody realizes there's something wrong,
something wrong with me, or around me, or...
(SNIFFLING)
Wow. Did not mean to end up there.
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING)
God. Oh, God.
TWILIGHT: The Chosen One. Always in pain.
And always complaining.
Just like a girl.
(GRUNTING)
I know that move, Slayer.
Let me show you some of mine.
(GRUNTING)
Understand this, girl. You cannot fight me.
(GRUNTING)
(BOTH SCREAMING)
BUFFY: Understand this, ass-clown.
I probably will anyway.
TWILIGHT: I'd expect no less. But I watched you and the witch.
It seemed that you didn't like flying.
I get used to things real fast.
(TWILIGHT CHUCKLING)
Very well, then. Let's ride.
(BUFFY SCREAMING)
TWILIGHT: Do you know that I actually came here to talk?
But there you were going on about how hard it is for you, and, well...
(GRUNTING)
I just hate to see you cry.
BUFFY: Go ahead. Church me. Plenty more where I came from.
(TWILIGHT LAUGHING)
Well, that's the issue, isn't it?
(GRUNTING)
One Slayer was all right,
but all these girls, the world can't contain them.
And they will suffer for that.
I'll not kill you now. My first gift is my last.
BUFFY: Twilight? That's you?
TWILIGHT: Have you made a difference?
Have your Slayers helped change anything in this world?
Have they helped you?
WOMAN: You didn't kill her.
TWILIGHT: That's been done. To little effect.
SATSU: I let you down.
BUFFY: Shh. Shh. No.
(SATSU SOBBING)
TWILIGHT: The trick is to strip her of her greatest armor.
Her moral certainty.
However hapless she may be about her personal life,
this girl has always firmly believed she was on the side of right.
And if there's one thing I've learned about the Slayer...
(GASPING)
Sorry. Itchy neck. Where was I?
(ECHOING)
SATSU: You were explaining how people who love you get hurt.
Should I look out for that then?
BUFFY: So I can skip the PowerPoint presentation, huh?
SATSU: Are you okay? That creep did such a number on you.
BUFFY: I'll heal.
We'll heal.
XANDER: So, the bad guys have a super-powered spokesmodel? Huzzah.
BUFFY: This guy's not a figurehead.
He's got power I've never seen, and he's...
(STAMMERING)
Are we doing any good?
We've been fighting more demons,
but it just seems like there's more demons to fight,
and, what, is that because of us?
Buffy. Turn around.
XANDER: I live with a bunch of Slayers.
Dozens of girls who are so filled up with purpose,
with confidence they didn't have before,
the walls are vibrating with it.
I can't sleep, the place is so charged.
BUFFY: You really need to ask Renee out already.
XANDER: Stop changing the subject to true things.
Maybe now we're only cleaning up messes,
but we're just getting started.
It's, you know, uh...
BUFFY: Connection. Why can't I feel it?
XANDER: Maybe you don't get to.
Maybe the leader, the girl who brings it all together,
is the one that has to give that up.
BUFFY: Yeah.
Yay me.
