come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Knox: Fred was the most beautiful, perfect woman I ever met. That's why I chose her. She's the only one that was worthy. from Shells (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Knox, face bloody, is bound to a chair. Gunn looks at him menacingly)
HARMONY: (perky) Gonna torture him?
GUNN: Thinking about it.
HARMONY: Can I help? I'm really good at it!
GUNN: Thanks, but this is kind of personal.
HARMONY: Why do you think I want to help? Because I've got some kind of blood lust—well, OK, that, too, but Fred's my friend. We went out for drinks all the... once. And if Poindexter here had anything to do with hurting her, then I'm in for a big fat pound of flesh.
WESLEY: (arriving) Angel?
GUNN: He's on his way back. How's Fred?
WESLEY: You tied Knox up.
HARMONY: (gleeful) We're gonna torture him.
WESLEY: (absently) Good. (realizes) Why?
GUNN: He knows what's happening. Been hiding it the whole time. I just need a few minutes alone.
WESLEY: He's involved in this?
GUNN: Pretty sure.
WESLEY: (angry) Why didn't you tell me?
KNOX: (mumbling) Yeah, buddy. Why didn't you?
GUNN: Shut up.
HARMONY: I thought we wanted him to talk.
GUNN: I can handle this. Whatever he knows—
WESLEY: Doesn't matter anymore. Fred's gone.
KNOX: (giggling) I'm sorry. It's just... um, it's not what you think. It—it's—it's beautiful. Tell them. Tell them what happened.
WESLEY: The infection, Illyria, consumed her. Took over her body.
GUNN: Then it's still Fred, right? This thing is just controlling—
WESLEY: She's gone.
GUNN: You don't know that.
HARMONY: Wait. I'm confused. It looks like Fred, but it's not?
KNOX: She's so much more than that now. Beyond flesh. Beyond perfection. I loved Fred. I really did. She had a warmth that took you in and held you until everything cold and distant melted away. She was the most beautiful, perfect woman I ever met. That's why I chose her. She's the only one that was worthy.
(Knox's speech is pushing Wes over the edge. He reaches for his gun...)
GUNN: Wes, don't. We need him. I know how you feel—
WESLEY: Do you know? (chokes up) You didn't feel her die. (crying) She was shaking with pain and terrified and so brave. And she was better than anyone I've known, and better than... and she's gone.
ANGEL: (arriving) I know. Now let's get her back.
