Ronnie gets skewered
from Beneath You (Season 7)
Next Clip in Episode

NANCY: Freaks. Why do I always surround myself with freaks? (demon's after her) Oh, God. Oh, God. Help! Somebody help me! Oh, help me! Help me!

(Buffy saves her, is about to fight the demon when Spike jumps in)

SPIKE: You've had your turn, luv. Leave the real violence to the demons, yeah? (beating demon) That's right. Big bad's back, and looking for a little death!

(as he's skewering the demon, the spell breaks, and he ends up skewering human Ronnie instead; they both scream... not clear, but it looks like the chip may not be working anymore, and the scream may be just pure guilty horror on Spike's part)

RONNIE: Ow!

SPIKE: (sincerely) I'm sorry. (talking to himself, all crazy again) Right. Wrong. All wrong. Wrong maneuver. Not hardly helpful. God, please help me. (screaming, to Buffy) Help me!

BUFFY: You're not the one who needs help. He's going into shock.

SPIKE: No. No. Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much. Too much. (more inaudible rambling) ...inside me all the way.

BUFFY: (into phone) Yeah, I need an ambulance. Someone's been stabbed. (pause) Oh, God, uh, corner of Third and Fairview. (to Ronnie) OK, help is coming. Try not to move.

SPIKE: Deep, deep, deep inside me.

BUFFY: Look, Spike, whatever you're doing--

SPIKE: (addressing someone who's not there) Get away. Get. Uhh--

BUFFY: Do it somewhere else. I am through with this.

SPIKE: Oh, oh, lucky girl. Call it quits. Now, there's an option. If only it were so easy. If only-- If only-- If only-- (addressing someone who's not there) What the hell are you screaming about? I can hear you. No need to (screams) SHOUT! (laughing) I get it. The joke's on me. Lots of laughs. Yeah. Hey, bring the wife and kiddies. Come see the show 'cause it's going to be a circus. This... just the beginning, luv. A warm-up act. The real headliner's coming, and when that band hits the stage, all of this... all this... will come tumbling in death and screaming, horror and bloodshed. (points down) From beneath you, it devours. From beneath... (starts to cry, and looks away) Poor Rocky.

(he runs off)

XANDER: Buffy!

NANCY: (to Anya) You. You did this. What are you? (she walks off)

XANDER: She's not calling me.

BUFFY: OK. Help is on the way. Look after him. (she runs after Spike)

XANDER: Where you goin'? You did the right thing here.

ANYA: Tell him that.

XANDER: You reversed the spell. It took guts. I know this is bad, but it could be worse.

ANYA: Oh, it will be.
