come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Angel: We don't want to kill her. We just want to find her so we can worship her. from Shiny Happy People (Season 4) | Next Clip in Episode |
FRED: (obsessively tidying) We should've done this a long time ago. I don't know what I was thinking letting these books be all unorganized.
LORNE: Well, one does tend to let the housekeeping slide during an Apocalyptolite. Hey, honey, all this to-ing and fro-ing is making me edgy...er.
FRED: (hears a buzzing noise) What's that?
LORNE: Oh, relax. It's just a buzz saw. Nothing to get worked up over. It's Gunn and Wes down in the basement. They're dismembering that armor-plated demon, Skip.
FRED: Oh, right. Well, there's been an awful lot of dismembering going on in that basement lately, if you ask me.
LORNE: Well, it's been a busy month.
FRED: God, why'd it have to be her?
LORNE: I think you skipped a groove, darlin'.
FRED: Cordelia. Why couldn't the Beastmaster have chosen some horrible evil awful person to be its vessel?
LORNE: Wouldn't have been much in the way of camouflage.
FRED: He's been gone so long.
LORNE: Y-you shifted gender pronouns, sweetheart. Not that I'm judging—
FRED: Angel. Do you think he found them?
LORNE: Them being...?
FRED: Connor and Cordy.
LORNE: Well...uh....
FRED: Or maybe he got there too late, and she already had it?
LORNE: And by it, you must mean—?
FRED: The baby. Or, hell spawn or whatever it is. Skip said the Beastmaster was using Cordelia to give birth to itself. What if Angel didn't get there in time to stop it? Or, worse, what if he did get there in time? Do you think he'd actually...you know?
LORNE: Dismember mama?
FRED: Would Angel really kill Cordelia?
LORNE: To save the world?
FRED: Son of a bitch! (grabs a knife and runs out to the lobby)
LORNE: OK, not that I was expecting a transition, but still...
(follows Fred into the lobby)
FRED: (to Connor) Drop it, junior.
LORNE: Fred, don't get too close.
CONNOR: Drop it? (smiles)
FRED: You heard me. Drop the knife.
CONNOR: But, you're always after me to clean up after myself. I was just gonna put it away.
FRED: Uh, are you still evil-ish? 'Cause I'm confused.
ANGEL: Guys, it's OK. He's with me.
FRED: (sees Cordelia lying on the couch) Oh, my God. Cordelia. She's not—
ANGEL: No, she's not dead. She's just resting. She's in a peaceful place.
(Wesley and Gunn run into the lobby and join the others.)
FRED: No, I meant...she's not pregnant.
ANGEL: Oh. No. Not anymore.
WESLEY: Then you were too late? The thing was born?
LORNE: I'm guessing it wasn't a chubby little cherub, huh?
ANGEL: Not exactly.
GUNN: But you killed it? It's dead, right?
ANGEL: I—I tried. I was going to. I just, uh— (sits down on the steps and weeps)
CONNOR: You got to stop torturing yourself, Dad. (to others) He was like this all the way back in the car.
WESLEY: It escaped, then?
ANGEL: Disappeared. Didn't even say goodbye.
FRED: Is that, like, baby evil?
WESLEY: I imagine we're not talking about a baby.
CONNOR: No.
GUNN: OK, so what are we dealing with?
FRED: Eight legs, three heads, horns...?
LORNE: Hey!
FRED: No, offense.
CONNOR: Two legs, one head, no horns.
LORNE: Lemme guess: green?
ANGEL: (stands, smiles) No. Kind of... mocha. We need to find her.
WESLEY: Agreed.
(The gang, except for Connor and Angel, head for the weapons cabinet.)
GUNN: Hope this thing's easier to kill than the Beast.
CONNOR: Kill? No. No killing.
GUNN: Since when?
ANGEL: Since we've all been saved.
FRED: Oh, well, that's, uh, crazy talk.
ANGEL: (to Connor) They don't understand.
CONNOR: No.
ANGEL: We don't want to kill her. We just want to find her so we can worship her. That's all.
CONNOR: She's amazing. You'll go nuts.
GUNN: Yeah, that'll definitely help us relate better.
ANGEL: When you meet her, you'll understand.
WESLEY: Angel, whatever you're feeling right now, it's some form of enchantment.
ANGEL: Yeah.
WESLEY: It's a spell. Think. Even before its birth, this thing controlled Cordelia, caused her to do unspeakable things. It's evil. Remember the Rain of Fire, permanent midnight, all the horrors done in its name—
JAMINE: (arriving) Must be rectified.
(Everyone in the room turns to look at the woman Cordelia gave birth to. Connor and Angel fall to their knees immediately. Everyone else stares at her in awe.)
LORNE: My God.
JASMINE: (smiles) People keep saying that.
(Lorne kneels.)
FRED: I'm just gonna... (kneels) do this.
(Gunn kneels.)
JASMINE: For so long, you've all been drowning in the fighting and the pain. I'd like to help...if you'll have me.
WESLEY: (kneels) Tell us what to do.
