come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Fred to Angel: They're consonant representations of a mathematical transfiguration formula. from There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
ANGEL: (Standing in a patch of sunshine) Can't do this in LA.
FRED: Why not?
ANGEL: Oh, I'll burst into flames. - Part of the beast thing.
FRED: So it's better for you here.
ANGEL: Well - there is the sun (lifts his head to face the sun, then lowers it and steps out of the sunlight) but also the thing inside that wants to rip my friends apart.
(Fred looks up at him for a moment, then goes back to mending the tunic she
is holding on her lap. Angel sighs and looks at the symbols covering the cave walls.)
ANGEL: Krv... drplgr.. I know these words. These are the words we used to
open up the portals.
FRED: They're not words. They're consonant representations of a mathematical transfiguration formula.
ANGEL: (after a beat) Well, obviously.
FRED: I used to think that if you said them out loud and in the right order the quaking and quivering would...
ANGEL: Oh, you mean open a portal. - Well, that's how we got here and that's how we'll get back.
FRED: No. I tried. For years and years - until my tongue was swollen and my head was all kaplooey. It doesn't work on this side.
ANGEL: Oh, but it does. A drokken and one of those green warriors got to LA from this end. Somebody must have opened up the portals for them. Maybe you did and you just don't know where.
FRED: Me? I don't think so. The priests have all the power here.
(Suddenly, palace guards attack! Angel fights, Fred cowers. Angel's eyes suddenly take on a red glow.)
ANGEL: Can't change. Won't change.
(He doesn't change. The guard Captain swings the spear around, knocks Angel to the ground, then stabs him in the chest with it.)
(...)
(Angel groans as the Captain pulls the spear back out.)
CAPTAIN: Missed the heart, did I?
(Runs Angel through a again. Still no heart. Gets ready to try again, but suddenly collapses, revealing Fred behind him, holding a big boulder up above her head.)
FRED: (to Angel, repeating over and over) Please don't die. Please don't die.
(Angel passes out.)
