[12]

(lab. Willow is preparing a spell with Oz's picture and a flaming crucible)

WILLOW: I conjure thee by barabbas, by satanas, and the devil. As thou art burning, Let Oz and Veruca's deceitful hearts be broken. This way. I conjure thee by the saracen queen And the name of hell. Let them find no love or solace. Let them find no peace as well. Let this image seal his fate, not to love, only hate.

(Willow can't bring herself to finish the spell. )

Veruca: Wow. For a minute there, I thought you might actually play rough. Sometimes you have to, you know? To keep what's yours, sometimes you have to kill. How 'bout that? The sun's almost down.

(...)

Veruca: Can't say I'm surprised you didn't go through with your little hex. You don't have the teeth.

WILLOW: You don't know what I have. You don't know anything about me.

Veruca: I know what you love. I have his scent on me right now.

(just then Oz arrives)

OZ: Don't touch her again.

Veruca: Come stop me. I like it rough, remember?

OZ: You wanna hurt me, hurt me. You leave her out of this.

Veruca: How can I? She's the reason you're living in cages. She's blinding you. When she's gone, you'll be able to admit what you are.

OZ: You don't wanna find out what I am.

Veruca: You're an animal. Animals kill.

OZ: You're right. We kill.

(He starts to wolf as does she. They begin to struggle. They fight and he gets the upper hand and tears her throat out. Willow cowers in a corner, crying uncontrolably.)

WILLOW: Oz?

(He looks at her, and advances, then jumps but comes up short. Buffy has grabbed him. He goes to attack her but she kicks him out of her way, then shots him with the tranquilizer. He attempts to get up but falls back. Buffy goes to comfort the traumatized Willow.)
