Landok to Angel: It is a great honor to swing the crebbil at the bach-nal from Through The Looking Glass (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
CROWD: Bring the crebbil!
(Lorne tries to warn Angel, but he's trapped in the crowd)
LORNE: Angel! Angel.
(Fred and Angel are both pushed towards a platform. Some one pushes a battle-ax into Angel hands and Angel grabs it reflexively.)
LANDOK: Strike quickly and true, Angel, then we can eat.
(Angel looks down and sees that Fred is kneeling beside him, her head resting on a block)
ANGEL: You expect me to...
MOM: Sever the cow's head from its body!
FRED: (quietly repeating over and over) Make it quick. Make it quick.
LANDOK: It is a great honor to swing the crebbil at the bach-nal.
(Angel lowers the ax and pulls off the necklace and cape.)
VOICE: What is he doing?
ANGEL: You want me to kill her?
MOM: The cow is a runaway. A scavenger, that sneaks down from the hills and plunders our food stores.
ANGEL: She was probably hungry.
LANDOK: Will you not swing the crebbil?
ANGEL: (menacing the crowd) Only if you force me to.
LORNE: Here we go.
ANGEL: Okay. We're gonna back up nice and slow and these nice folk are...
MOM: Stop them!
ANGEL: ...are gonna kill us!
(One green horned warrior jumps up on the platform and Angel pushes him off. Another one follows and Angel kicks him back down.)
LORNE: Stop! (singing) ...in the name of love - before you break my heart...Oooh oh baby baby, I'm aware that it's wrong ...
(All around the square demons are moaning and screaming in pain, covering their ears with their hands.)
LANDOK: What strange sorcery is this?
LORNE: (singing) Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street knowing you're all the love you'll meet...
(Angel picks Fred up in his arms and jumps off the platform while Lorne steps on top of it still singing.)
MOM: It burns! It burns!
(Mom drops face down to the ground. Angel runs over to one of the horses the guards ride and jumps into its empty saddle, then motions to Fred.)
ANGEL: Come on!
LORNE: (singing) stop in the name of love before you break my heart. Think it over--...think it o... Shi..!
(A mace catches Lorne square in the middle and the screen goes dark.)
