come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Lorne's Mom: When you disappeared, your brother Numfar (Joss Whedon) did the dance of joy from Through The Looking Glass (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Angel and Lorne arrive at Lorne's family home.)
LORNE: Boy. I'd give my left horn to not have to do this.
(We see a group of Lorne's relatives, apparently engaged in some kind of horse play, in front of their dwelling.)
LORNE: Hi-de-ho!
(The big figure in the middle of the gathering turns around to look towards them. Unlike the other demons of Lorne's kind we've seen so far, this one sports a full beard)
LORNE: Guess who's back.
MOM: Krevlorneswath? Can it be true? I've often prayed that I might look again upon your face.
LORNE: Well, you're in luck then.
MOM: (beard and all, spits in Lorne's face) You have shamed our clan and betrayed your kind.
LORNE: Thanks, mom.
ANGEL: (dumbfounded) Mom?
MOM: Each morning before I feed I go out into the hills where the ground is thorny and parched, beat my breast and curse the loins that gave birth to such a cretinous boy-child!
LORNE: (spreading his hands) My mother!
MOM: Your father was right. We ate the wrong son.
LORNE: Well, enough of this sentimental reminiscing. Just a couple of quick questions, then I'll skeddadle. You remember back around five years ago when I first disappeared - did you notice anything - odd?
MOM: We noticed feasting and celebrations. Your brother Numfar did the dance of joy for three moons. Numfar! Do the dance of joy.
(Numfar -- who is played by no other but Joss Whedon himself-- starts some weird dance routine, which includes some kicks and hops as well as tapping himself repeatedly on the head.)
LORNE: Actually what I meant was more along the lines of a strange flashing, kind of a weird pulsating... (aside to Angel) You remember when I said we didn't have music
in my world? Wish I could say the same about the dancing. (Back to his mom) Lights. Really you couldn't have missed it. Big, bendy, swirly...
MOM: No longer do the dance of joy, Numfar!
LORNE: Nothing like that at all then.
MOM: Now take your cow and get off my lawn!
