come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Virginia: And by 'house' I mean palatial estate, and by 'grateful' I mean they'll give you big tubs of cash. from Happy Anniversary (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
CORDELIA: (setting down candles) Ah. There. See? We'll work without the harsh glare of flourescents, or all that distracting computer information.
GUNN: Cordelia, stop trying.
CORDELIA: Really?
WESLEY: Join us. (Sits down beside them.)
WESLEY: Sometimes you need to wallow. Just let the depression settle in -- silently.
VIRGINIA: (arriving with champagne) Hey! Wow. This place is great. I brought champagne. You guys must be so excited (takes in their looks) ... in that really dry, suicidal way.
WESLEY: (kissing her) Sorry, sweetheart. You just caught us in a moment of ... Well ...
CORDELIA: Reality.
VIRGINIA: Oh -- that. I avoid that.
GUNN: How do you avoid reality?
VIRGINIA: Money. It cures everything but boredom (holds up the basket), and food cures boredom, so there you go. Imported chips and packets of cheese.
GUNN: Thanks.
WESLEY: We'll enjoy them huddled around our pathetic candles.
CORDELIA: We'll make pathetic nachos.
VIRGINIA: You guys are really down.
GUNN: Yeah. And don't try to tell us there's no way to go but up, 'cause the truth is, there's always more down.
VIRGINIA: Oh! And that was very well said by the way. But I found a case for you. A client. A rich one.
WESLEY: Really?
CORDELIA: And this isn't the first thing you say when you come in the room?
VIRGINIA: Well, I got distracted by your waves of desperation. But it's true. My friend Patricia, her family, they've got like this big guy that's been harassing them, hanging around the house getting scary, and they'd be really grateful if someone got rid of him.
GUNN: That sounds easy.
CORDELIA: Uh, wait. By "big guy" do you mean demon?
VIRGINIA: Yeah. And by "house" I mean palatial estate, and by "grateful" I mean they'll give you big tubs of cash. Really rich family. They invented, um, I don't know, like -- chairs, or something.
CORDELIA: We'll do it! We'll do anything.
VIRGINIA: Oh, that's so sad. Anyway, he's a Wainakay demon, and he got the eldest son already.
CORDELIA: So there's been a death? (Virginia nods) You just let these facts kinda dribble out, don't you?
VIRGINIA: I'll call Patty and tell her you'll take the job.
WESLEY: Uh, sweetie, no phone.
CORDELIA: Also no lights.
GUNN: And there's a funky smell.
VIRGINIA: I wasn't gonna say anything. (They all leave.)
