TVTranscript
00:00A moment of true happiness, of contentment, and that's all is taken from me.
00:06Angel, there must be some part of you inside that still remembers who you are.
00:11Dream on, schoolgirl. Your boyfriend is dead.
00:18Did you know this was gonna happen?
00:19I was sent here to watch you.
00:26You can't do it.
00:27You can't kill me.
00:58Passion.
01:02It lies in all of us.
01:06Sleeping.
01:08Waiting.
01:10And though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir.
01:17Open its jaws.
01:20And howl.
01:27You've got to learn by now.
01:30There's never an easy way.
01:34I'll get through somehow.
02:27You can't kill me.
02:41You can't kill me.
02:57It speaks to us.
03:12Guides us.
03:15Passion rules us all.
03:18And we obey.
03:22What other choice do we have?
03:57What other choice do we have?
03:59What other choice do we have?
04:01What other choice do we have?
04:03What other choice do we have?
04:05What other choice do we have?
04:07What other choice do we have?
04:09What other choice do we have?
04:11What other choice do we have?
04:13What other choice do we have?
04:15What other choice do we have?
04:17What other choice do we have?
04:19What other choice do we have?
04:21What other choice do we have?
04:23What other choice do we have?
04:25What other choice do we have?
04:27What other choice do we have?
04:57He was in my room.
05:09Who?
05:11Angel.
05:13He was in my room last night.
05:15Are you sure?
05:17Positive.
05:19When I woke up, I found a picture he'd left me on my pillow.
05:22A visit from the Pointed Tooth Fairy.
05:24Wait, I thought vampires couldn't come in
05:27unless you invited them in.
05:29Yes, but once you've invited them in,
05:31thereafter they're always welcome.
05:33You know, I think there may be a valuable lesson
05:36for you gals here about inviting strange men
05:38into your bedrooms.
05:40Oh, God.
05:42I invited him in my car once.
05:44That means he can come into my car
05:46whenever he wants.
05:48Yep, you're doomed to having to give him
05:50and his vamp pals a lift whenever they feel like it.
05:52And those guys never chip in for gas.
05:55Giles, there has to be some sort of spell
05:57to reverse the invitation, right?
05:59Like a barrier, a no-shoes,
06:01no-pulse, no-service kind of thing?
06:03Yeah, that works for a car, too?
06:05Yes, well, I can check on my...
06:08Hello!
06:10Excuse me, but have you ever heard of knocking?
06:13We're supposed to get some books.
06:15On Stalin.
06:17Does this look like a Barnes & Noble?
06:19This is the school library, Sander.
06:22Since when?
06:24Oh, yes, yes.
06:26Third row, historical biographies.
06:28Thanks.
06:46What?
06:47What?
06:49Oh.
06:51Hey, did you say that was the...
06:55Hello?
06:58So, Angel has decided to step up his harassment of you.
07:04By sneaking in her room and leaving stuff at night?
07:08Why doesn't he just slit her throat
07:10or strangle her while she's sleeping
07:12or cut her heart out?
07:14What? I'm trying to help.
07:17Yes.
07:19Look, it's classic battle strategy
07:21to throw one's opponent off his game.
07:23He's just trying to provoke you,
07:25to taunt you,
07:27to goad you into some mishap of some sort.
07:31The na-na-na-na-na approach to battle.
07:34Yes, Sander.
07:36Once more, you've managed to boil a complex thought
07:38down to its simplest possible form.
07:39Giles, Angel once told me
07:41that when he was obsessed with Drusilla,
07:43the first thing he did was to kill her family.
07:47Your mom?
07:49I know.
07:51I'm going to have to tell her something.
07:53The truth.
07:55No, you can't do that.
07:57Yeah, the more people who know the secret,
07:59the more cheap is it for the rest of us.
08:01I've got to tell her something.
08:03I've got to do something.
08:05Giles, Angel has an all-access pass to my house
08:07and I'm not always there when my mom calls.
08:09The problem with your mother is I can't protect her.
08:11I told you I would find a spell.
08:13What about until you find a spell?
08:15Until then, you and your mother
08:17are welcome to ride around with me in my car.
08:20Buffy, I understand your concern,
08:23but it's imperative that you keep a level head through all this.
08:26That's easy for you to say.
08:28You don't have Angel lurking in your bedroom at night.
08:31I know how hard this is for you.
08:33All right, I don't.
08:35But as the Slayer,
08:36you don't have the luxury
08:38of being a slave to your passions.
08:40You mustn't let Angel get to you,
08:42no matter how provocative his behavior may become.
08:45So what you're basically saying
08:47is just ignore him and maybe he'll go away?
08:50Yes, precisely.
08:53Hey, how come Buffy doesn't get a snotty
08:55once again you boil it down to the simplest form thing?
08:59Watcher's pet.
09:02Don't forget, I need your sample spreadsheets
09:04by the end of the day.
09:06Not by the end of the week.
09:10Oh, and I want both a paper printout
09:13and a copy on disc.
09:17Willow.
09:19Yes?
09:21I might be a little late tomorrow.
09:23Do you think you could cover my class till I show?
09:26Really? Me?
09:28Teach the class?
09:30Sure.
09:32Oh, wait.
09:33What if they don't recognize my authority?
09:36What if they try to convince me
09:38that you always let them leave class early?
09:41What if there's a fire drill?
09:43What if there's a fire?
09:45Willow, you're gonna be fine.
09:47And I'll try not to be too late, okay?
09:49Okay, good.
09:51Earlier is good.
09:53Will I have the power to assign detention
09:56or make them run laps?
09:58I will.
10:00Hey, Buffy.
10:01Rupert?
10:03Willow, I thought I might take in a class.
10:06Figured I could use someone who knows where they are.
10:11Sorry, you have to talk to her.
10:14She's a teacher, and teachers are to be respected.
10:16Even if they're only filling in
10:18until the real teacher shows up,
10:20because otherwise chaos could ensue.
10:27Have you been?
10:31Not so good, actually.
10:33Since Angel lost his soul,
10:35he's regained his sense of whimsy.
10:37Well, that sounds bad.
10:39He's been in Buffy's bedroom.
10:41I need to drum up a spell
10:43to keep him out of the house.
10:46This might help.
10:49I've been doing a little reading since Angel changed.
10:52I don't think you have that one.
10:58So how's Buffy doing?
11:02How do you think?
11:07I know you feel betrayed.
11:09Yes, well, that's one
11:11of the unpleasant side effects of betrayal.
11:13Rupert,
11:15I was raised by the people
11:17that Angel hurt the most.
11:21My duty to them
11:23was the first thing I was ever taught.
11:25I didn't come here to hurt anyone.
11:28And I lied to you
11:29because I thought
11:31it was the right thing to do.
11:33I didn't know what would happen.
11:37I didn't know
11:39I was going to fall in love with you.
11:48Oh, God.
11:51It's too late to take that back.
11:55Do you want to?
11:56I just want to be right with you.
12:01I don't expect more.
12:04I just want so badly
12:06to make all this up to you.
12:09I understand.
12:13But I'm not the one you need to make it up to.
12:21Thank you for the book.
12:27Okay.
12:29What's wrong?
12:31It's nothing.
12:33Come on.
12:35You can tell me anything.
12:37I've read all the parenting books.
12:39You cannot surprise me.
12:48Do you remember that guy, Angel?
12:51Yeah.
12:53He was a good guy.
12:54What guy, Angel?
12:56Angel.
12:58The college boy who was tutoring you in history.
13:01Right.
13:03He...
13:06I...
13:10We're sort of dating.
13:12We're dating.
13:14Going through a serious off-the-end phase right now.
13:19Don't tell me.
13:21He's changed.
13:22The same guy you fell for?
13:24In a nutshell.
13:26Anyway, um...
13:28Since he changed,
13:30he's been kind of following me around.
13:33He's having trouble letting go.
13:36Buffy, has he done anything?
13:39No, no, it's not like that.
13:41He's just been hanging around.
13:43A lot.
13:45Just sending me notes, that kind of thing.
13:47I just don't want to see him right now.
13:50I mean, if he shows up, I'll talk to him.
13:52Just...
13:54don't invite him in.
13:57I agree with Giles.
14:00You need to just try and not let him get to you.
14:03Angel's only doing this
14:05to try to get you to do something stupid.
14:08I swear, I mean, he can be such a jerk sometimes.
14:12Dead or alive.
14:14I just hope Giles can find a keep-out spell soon.
14:18I know I'll sleep easier when I can...
14:19sleep easier.
14:21I'm sure he will.
14:23He's like Bookman.
14:25Until then, try and keep happy thoughts and...
14:33And what?
14:36Willow?
14:40Willow?
14:49Willow?
14:58Thanks for having me over, Buffy.
15:00Especially on a school night and all.
15:03No problem.
15:07Hey, sorry about your fish.
15:09It's okay.
15:11We hadn't really had time to bond yet.
15:16Although for the first time,
15:17I'm glad my parents didn't let me have a puppy.
15:24It's so weird.
15:26Every time something like this happens,
15:29my first instinct is still to run to Angel.
15:33I can't believe it's the same person.
15:37He's completely different from the guy that I knew.
15:40Well, sort of.
15:42Except...
15:44Except what?
15:47You're still the only thing he thinks about.
15:55I brought something for you.
15:59Poor thing.
16:01She's an orphan.
16:04Her owner died...
16:07without a fight.
16:10Do you like her?
16:12Hmm?
16:14I brought her specially for you.
16:18To cheer you up.
16:21And I've named her...
16:24Sunshine.
16:28Open wide.
16:33Come on, love.
16:35You need to eat something to keep your strength up.
16:38Now.
16:39Now.
16:42Open up for Mummy.
16:44I won't have you feeding me like a child, Rue.
16:48Why not?
16:50I already bathed you,
16:52carries you around and changes you like a child.
16:55My Angel,
16:57where have you been?
16:59The sun is almost up,
17:01and it can be so hurtful.
17:03We were worried.
17:05No, we weren't.
17:07You must forgive Spike.
17:09He's just a bit testy tonight.
17:12Doesn't get out much anymore.
17:15Well, maybe next time I'll bring you with me, Spike.
17:18Might be handy to have you around if I ever need a really good parking space.
17:23Have you forgotten that you're a bloody guest in my bloody home?
17:27And as a guest,
17:29if there's anything I can do for you,
17:32any...
17:34responsibility,
17:36I can assume while you're spinning your wheels.
17:40Anything. I'm not already doing that.
17:43That's enough!
17:53You two boys
17:57fighting over me and all
18:01makes a girl feel...
18:10True. What is it, Ben?
18:12The air.
18:14It worries.
18:16Someone,
18:18an old enemy is seeking help.
18:22Help to destroy our happy home.
18:39Welcome.
19:03How may I serve you today?
19:06Ah...
19:07Love, Ocean.
19:09Perhaps a voodoo doll for that unfaithful...
19:12I need an orb of Thessala.
19:14Oh, you're in a trade.
19:19Sorry about the spiel, but around Valentine's Day,
19:23I get a lot of tourists shopping for love potions
19:26and mystical revenge of past lovers.
19:29Sad fact is,
19:31Ouija boards and rabbit's feet,
19:34that's what pay the rent around here.
19:37So, how did you hear about us?
19:40My uncle Enios told me about you.
19:43So you're Yana, then.
19:45Sorry to hear about your uncle.
19:49He was a good customer.
19:51Well, look, there you go.
19:54One Thessalon orb.
19:57Spirit vault for the rituals of the undead.
20:00I don't get many calls for those lately.
20:02Sold a couple as New Age paperweights last year.
20:06Yeah, I just love those New Ages, boy.
20:09They helped send my youngest to college.
20:13By the way,
20:15you do know that the transliteration annals
20:18for the ritual of the undead were lost?
20:21Without the annals, the surviving text is gibberish.
20:24Without a translated text,
20:26the orbs of Thessala are pretty much useless.
20:29I know.
20:30Well, I only mention it
20:32because I have a strict policy of no refunds.
20:34It's okay.
20:36I'm working on a computer program
20:38to translate the Romanian liturgy to English
20:41based on a random sampling of the text.
20:43Yeah.
20:45I don't like computers.
20:47They give me the willies.
20:49Well, thank you.
20:51You're welcome.
20:56By the way,
20:57not that it's any of my business, really,
20:59but what are you planning on conjuring up
21:01if you can decipher the text?
21:03A present for a friend of mine.
21:05Really?
21:07What are you going to give him?
21:11His soul.
21:28Siberia.
21:30Well, good morning, ladies.
21:32And what did you two do last night?
21:34We had kind of a pajama party
21:36sleepover with weapons thing.
21:38Oh, and I don't suppose
21:40either of you had the presence of mind
21:42to locate a camera to capture the moment?
21:44I have to go.
21:46I have a class to teach in about five minutes,
21:48and I have to arrive early
21:50to glare disapprovingly at the stragglers.
21:53Oh, darn. She's here.
21:57Five hours of lesson planning
21:59yesterday down the drain.
22:03Peanut, I'll see you in class.
22:11Hey.
22:13Hi.
22:16Is there something...
22:19Did you want something?
22:22Look,
22:24I know you feel badly
22:25about what happened,
22:27and I just wanted to say...
22:32Good.
22:34Keep it up.
22:38Don't worry, I will.
22:40Oh, wait.
22:42Um...
22:45He misses you.
22:48He doesn't say anything to me,
22:50but I know he does.
22:52And I don't want him to be lonely.
22:54I don't want anyone to.
22:57Buffy,
22:59you know that if I have a chance
23:01to make this up...
23:03We're good here.
23:05Let's just leave it.
23:12I thought I was hearing someone.
23:14Oh, yes.
23:16Could you hang those up?
23:18Thank you so much.
23:20Buffy,
23:21so how was your night?
23:23Sleepless,
23:25but no human fatalities.
23:27I found a ritual
23:29to revoke the invitation
23:31to vampires.
23:33Oh, thank goodness.
23:35I actually had to talk my grandmother
23:37into switching cars with me last night.
23:39Um,
23:41the ritual's fairly basic, actually.
23:43It's just the recitation
23:45of a few rhyming couplets,
23:47burning of moss herbs,
23:49sprinkling of holy water...
23:51That's all stuff I have in my house.
23:53Hanging of crosses...
23:58I'm gonna have a hard time
24:00explaining this to my dad.
24:02You really think it'll bother him?
24:04Ira Rosenberg's only daughter
24:06nailing crucifixes to her bedroom wall.
24:08I have to go over to Xander's house
24:10just to watch a Charlie Brown
24:12Christmas every year.
24:14I see your point.
24:16Although it is worthwhile
24:18to see him do the Snoopy dance.
24:21Willow,
24:23are you aware that there are no fish
24:25in your aquarium?
24:27You know, Cordelia,
24:29we've already done your car.
24:31Call it a night if you want.
24:33Right. Thanks.
24:35And you know I'd do the same for you
24:37if you had a social life.
24:39Oh.
24:41This must be for you.
24:52It's for you.
24:59Mom.
25:14It's summers.
25:16I need to talk to you.
25:18Your angel.
25:22Did Buffy tell you about us?
25:24She told me she wants you
25:26to leave her alone.
25:28I can't. I can't do that.
25:30You're scaring her.
25:32You have to help me.
25:34Joyce.
25:36I need to be with her.
25:38You can convince her.
25:40You have to convince her.
25:42Look, I'm telling you
25:44to leave her alone.
25:46You have to talk to her for me, Joyce.
25:48Tell her I need her.
25:49She'll be fine, okay?
25:54You don't understand, Joyce.
25:58I'll die without Buffy.
26:00She'll die without me.
26:02Are you threatening her?
26:04Please.
26:06Why is she doing this to me?
26:08I'm calling the police now.
26:20I haven't been able to sleep
26:22since the night we made love.
26:26I need her.
26:29I know you understand.
26:32Just leave us alone.
26:44Sorry, angel.
26:46Change the locks.
26:49Hello?
26:51Oh.
26:53Hey.
26:55You're working late.
26:58Special project.
27:00Oh.
27:03I spoke to Buffy today.
27:05Oh.
27:07Yes?
27:09Mm-hmm.
27:11I'm sorry.
27:13I'm sorry.
27:15I'm sorry.
27:17I'm sorry.
27:20She said you missed me.
27:23Well, she's
27:25a meddlesome girl.
27:27Rupert.
27:30Okay, I don't want to say anything if I'm wrong,
27:32but I may have some news.
27:35I need to finish up here.
27:37Could I see you later?
27:40Yes, yes.
27:43You could stop by my house.
27:46Okay.
27:48Okay.
27:52Good.
28:18Sorry, honey.
28:20We're closed.
28:26What do you want?
28:28Miss Sunshine here tells me
28:30you had a visitor today,
28:32but she worries.
28:35She wants to know
28:37what you and the mean teacher
28:39talked about.
28:48Come on.
28:50Come on.
28:56That's it.
29:01It's gonna work.
29:03This will work.
29:18Open the door.
29:30Angel.
29:33How did you get in here?
29:35I was invited.
29:39The sign in front of the school.
29:42Enter all ye who seek knowledge.
29:47What can I say?
29:49I'm a knowledge seeker.
29:52Angel, I've got good news.
29:54I heard.
29:56You went shopping
29:58at the local Boogity Boogity store.
29:59The Orb of Thessala.
30:02If memory serves,
30:04this is supposed to summon
30:06a person's soul
30:08from the ether.
30:11Store it until it can be transferred.
30:15You're lying.
30:17You're lying.
30:19I'm not lying.
30:21I'm not lying.
30:23I'm not lying.
30:25I'm not lying.
30:27I'm not lying.
30:29I'm not lying.
30:35You know what I hate most about these things?
30:43If they're so damn fragile,
30:45it must be that shoddy
30:47gypsy craftsmanship, huh?
30:54I never cease to be amazed
30:56how much the world has changed
30:57just two and a half centuries. It's a miracle to me. You put the secrets to restoring my
31:04soul here. It comes out here. The ritual of restoration. Wow. This brings back memories.
31:25Wait, that's your... My cure? No thanks. Been there, done that. Deja vu just isn't
31:35what it used to be. Isn't this my lucky day? The computer and the pages. Looks like I get
31:51to kill two birds with one stone. The teacher makes three. Oh good. I need to work up an
32:18appetite first.
33:48Sorry Jenny, this is where you get off. I never get tired of doing that.
34:19Hello. Good evening. Hi, good morning. Here's the book. Right. Guess I should do my apartment
34:32tonight. The ritual go alright? Oh yeah, it went fine. Well, it went fine until Angel
34:39showed up and told Buffy's mom that he and Buffy had, well, you know, that they had,
34:48you know. You do know, right? Oh yes, sorry. Oh good, because I just realized that being
34:59a librarian and all, you maybe didn't know. Oh thank you, I got it. You would have been
35:05proud of her though. She totally kept her cool. Okay, well I'll tell Buffy you stopped
35:15by. Would you, perhaps I should intervene on Buffy's behalf with her mother. Maybe say
35:27something? Sure, like what would you say? We'll tell Buffy I dropped by. You bet. That
35:46stuff with the laddins and the herbs, he's just real superstitious. Oh. We just thought
35:58if. Was he the first? No wait, I don't want to know. I don't think I want to. Yeah, he
36:08was the first. I mean the only. He's older than you. I know. Too old, Buffy, and he's
36:20obviously not very stable. I really wish. I just thought you would show more judgment.
36:35He wasn't like this before. Are you in love with him? I was. Were you careful? Mom, this
36:47isn't the time. Don't tell me, Buffy. You don't get to get out of this. You had sex
36:51with a boy you didn't even see fit to tell me you were dating. I made a mistake. Yeah,
36:59well don't just say that to shut me up because I think you really did. I know that. I can't
37:08tell you everything. How about anything? Buffy, you can shut me out of your life. I am pretty
37:15much used to that, but don't expect me to ever stop caring about you because it's never
37:21going to happen. I love you more than anything in the world. That would be your cue to roll
37:35your eyes and tell me I'm grossing you out. You're not. Oh, well. I guess that was the
37:53drug. So how'd it go? I don't know. It was my first.
38:23Hello? Jenny?
38:41It's me.
39:41Jenny?
40:11Mr. Giles, I need to ask you to come with us just to answer a few questions. Of course.
40:38Yes. Procedure. I need to make a phone call, if that's alright.
40:53Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and
41:14the ecstasy of grief.
41:44No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
42:14Where's Giles? No luck. By the time we got to the station, the cops said he'd already
42:23left. I guess they just weren't asking some questions. Cordelia, will you drive us to
42:27Giles' house? Of course. But don't you think he wants to be left alone? I'm not worried
42:33about what he wants. I'm worried about what he's going to do.
43:03Hello?
43:32Giles?
43:34I guess Giles had a big night playing tonight.
44:01Giles didn't set this up. Angel did. This is the wrapping for the gift.
44:10Oh, man. Poor Giles.
44:18Look, all his weapons are gone. But I thought he kept his weapons at the library.
44:23No, those are his everyday weapons. These were his good weapons. The ones he breaks
44:30out when company comes to visit.
44:33So he's not here?
44:35Well, then where is he?
44:37He'll go to wherever Angel is. That means the factory, right?
44:41So Giles is going to try to kill Angel, then?
44:44Well, it's about time somebody did.
44:46Sander!
44:47I'm sorry, but let's not forget that I hated Angel long before you guys jumped on the bandwagon.
44:52So I think I deserve a little something for not saying I told you so long before now.
44:56And if Giles wants to go after the fiend that murdered his girlfriend, I say faster, pussycat.
45:02Kill. Kill.
45:04You're right.
45:07There's only one thing wrong with Giles. It's a revenge scenario.
45:11And what's that?
45:12It's going to get him killed.
45:15Are you insane?
45:18We're supposed to kill the bitch, not leave gag gifts in a friend's bed.
45:25But Spock, the bad teacher was going to restore Angel's soul.
45:31What if she did?
45:33If you ask me, I find myself preferring the old buffy whip to Angelus.
45:38This new improved one is not playing with the full sack.
45:43I love a good slaughter as much as the next bloke.
45:46But his little pranks will only leave us with one incredibly brassed-off slayer.
45:52Don't worry, roller boy. I've got everything under control.
46:13Jeez, whatever happened to wooden stakes?
46:16Uh-uh. No fair going into the ring unless he tags you first.
46:34All right. You've had your fun.
46:37But you know what? It's time for now.
46:40My fun!
47:10I'm gonna let your old man just burn.
47:41Ha, ha, ha.
48:04Why did you come here?
48:06This wasn't your fight.
48:10Are you trying to get yourself killed?
48:19You can't leave me. I can't do this alone.
48:32It hurts sometimes more than we can bear.
48:36If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace.
48:43But we would be hollow.
48:46Empty rooms. Shuttered and dank.
48:52Without passion, we'd be truly dead.
49:07In my years as Watcher, I've buried too many people.
49:17But Jenny was the first I loved.
49:22I'm sorry.
49:26I'm sorry I couldn't kill him for you.
49:30For her.
49:33For her.
49:35When I had the chance.
49:43I wasn't ready.
49:49But I think I finally am.
49:53Hi.
49:57Principal Snyder asked me to fill in for Miss Callender.
50:01Until the new computer science teacher arrives.
50:06So, I'm just gonna stick to the lesson plan she left.
50:14I can't hold on to the past anymore.
50:18Angel is gone.
50:21Nothing's ever gonna bring him back.
51:01AVAILABLE NOW
