come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Angel: And I'm really getting tired of the 'Groosa-worship' thing. He's such a champion. He's so rugged. He's so emotionally available. from Couplet (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
GROO: I am honored they requested the Groosalug to save them.
ANGEL: I wouldn't say requested, more like included. Hang on. Here. Here. Did you feel it?
GROO: (moving forward) Something Evil.
ANGEL: Whoa, easy. Slow down, Champ! We have to be very careful here.
GROO: You're right.
(Groo pulls out the bottle Anita gave him)
ANGEL: Will you keep this safe?
(Angel looks from Groo to the bottle. After a moment he takes it and puts it in his pocket.)
ANGEL: Fine. But we just got to be, you know, a little bit more...
(Groo charges forward with a loud battle cry.)
ANGEL: ...patient.
(Groo slashes away at the roots as he runs into the cave.)
FRED: It's Groo!
GUNN: Over here!
(A demon tree root takes him down, attaching itself to his chest)
FRED: What are we gonna do now?
ANGEL: (arriving) That's my shirt!
(fade to commercial and back)
ANGEL: This thing is not actually made out of wood, is it?
FRED: No, it's flesh.
ANGEL: Good. Flesh I can deal with. Flesh I can kill.
FRED: But I don't think hacking it is going to do any good. It doesn't seem to have any vital organs. It uses people as batteries. It draws its power from its victims.
(Angel looks from the root-demons snarling face to Groo, who is groaning and straining against the root buried in his chest.)
GUNN: And it's been getting stronger since it tapped into Groo.
ANGEL: Really. Stronger. Come on! He can't be that great.
FRED: He is the Groosalug.
ANGEL: (to Demon) What do you think? - Honestly. Does he seem really 'better' than other men?
DEMON: He's magnificent.
ANGEL: Really? - I'd say more like magnificently stupid. Because him with the beer tap in his chest and me with the, you know, just walking around. And I'm really getting tired of the 'Groosa-worship' thing.
(he slugs Groo in the face. The root-demon lets out a roar)
ANGEL: Nothing personal, champ. Oh! Everyone makes such a big deal about the Groosalug.
(Slugs Groo. The root-demon roars.)
ANGEL: He's such a champion.
(Slug. Roar.)
ANGEL: He's so rugged.
(Slug. Roar.)
ANGEL: He's so emotionally available.
(Slug. Roar.)
ANGEL: Look at him in the daylight.
(Slug. Roar.)
ANGEL: But you know what? I'm smarter, and I'm stronger, and I pick out my own clothes!
(Angel kicks Groo. The demon roars, withdraws its tap-root from Groo and buries it in Angel's chest instead.)
ANGEL: Okay. Oh, jeez. Well, it's okay. You know, no one is using my heart at the moment anyway.
DEMON: Kill you.
ANGEL: Sorry. Already dead.
DEMON: (horrified) Vampire!
ANGEL: Yeah. Did I mention that?
DEMON: (moans) Cold. - Cold.
ANGEL: Oh, yeah. It's kinda cold in there. But, hey, don't let that stop you.
(The tree demon moans. The root bindings around Gunn and Fred shrivel and drop away. Gunn jumps up, grabs Groo's dropped sword.)
DEMON: So cold.
GUNN: So dead!
(Gunn buries the sword in the root-demon's face. A yellowish green liquid pours out.)
ANGEL: (RE Groo) How is he?
FRED: Pretty beat up. Still alive - thanks to you.
