Absalom: Behold, these four mortals. Witnesses to our Master's wretched demise. They will breathe their last this night. The blood that pours from their throats will bring NEW LIFE to the old one. We gather for his resurrection. For the dawn of this new hell.

XANDER: Buffy! Buffy! We gotta do something now!

BUFFY: You two get the others out of here.

ANGEL: We need you to distract the vampires.

BUFFY: Right.

XANDER: What are you gonna do?

BUFFY: I'm gonna kill them all. That oughta distract them.

Absalom: For the old one. For his pain. For the dark.

Vampires: For the dark!

(Buffy fights them while Angel & Xander free the others)

Absalom: The sacrifices! Stop them!

(more fighting)

GILES: Are you alright?

JENNY: Yeah, I'm okay.

GILES: Where's Buffy?

XANDER: Uh, she's working out her issues.

Absalom: ENOUGH! Your day is done, girl. I'll grind you into a *sticky* paste, and hear you beg before I smash in your face.

BUFFY: So, are you gonna kill me or are we just making small talk?

(more fighting)

WILLOW: It's over.

XANDER: No, it's not.

(Buffy takes a sledgehammer to the Master's bones, and then bursts into tears)

ANGEL: It's okay. It's okay.
