(The mark on the floor begins to glow. There's rumbling)

WILLOW: Look!

(We get a close up of Gachnar, and he's one ugly dude. Gachnar looks up and the camera pulls back to reveal that he is tiny, maybe a half a foot tall, if that.)

BUFFY: This is Gachnar?

XANDER: Big overture. Little show.

Gachnar: I am the dark lord of nightmares!

(Buffy tries not to laugh)

Gachnar: The bringer of terror! Tremble before me. Fear me!

WILLOW: He - he's no cute!

Gachnar: Tremble!

XANDER: Who's a little fear demon? Come on! Who's a little fear demon!

GILES: Don't taunt the fear demon.

XANDER: Why, can he hurt me?

GILES: No, it's just - tacky. Be that as it may, Buffy, when it comes to slaying...

BUFFY: Size doesn't matter?

Gachnar: They're all going to abandon you, you know.

BUFFY: Yeah, Yeah.

(We get a shot of Buffy's huge foot as she stomps down and squishes the fear demon.)
