I need to see the original Buffy movie. I've managed to avoid it for a long time for some reason.

It's not that bad. It's got some of Ben Affleck's best work in it

[Jingus 0]

The movie is horrible. It needs Anya.

The way the casting was handled, she probably would've been played by Heather Locklear anyway.

The movie is horrible. It needs Anya.

Are you gay?

Episode Three is coming quickly. I think you guys are going to love the way this thing ends. First two scenes for now:

 

Scene 1:

 

<Kent is fitting something on Connor’s arm. Connor turns and shoots at a target, placing three stakes in rapid-fire fashion along the rim of the bullseye.>

 

Kent: This idea of yours works well. It should be a good tool out there.

 

<Eliana strolls in. Connor picks up a sword from the rack.>

 

Connor, smiling: Are you ready to start learning how to use this?

 

Eliana: I’m not strong enough to help you out there.

 

Connor: It’s not about being strong. It’s about being smart.

 

<Connor wields the sword in his hand. Cut to flashback in Quor’toth. Connor is battling against an ubervamp.>

 

Holtz: Know their moves before they make them.

 

<Connor lunges back, deflecting a charge with his sword. He bring the blade down in the back and through the heart, causing the ubervamp to dust.>

 

Holtz: And that is how you do it my boy, Steven.

 

<Cut back to present.>

 

Connor: When the time comes, you need to know how to use it.

 

Eliana: And what if I don’t want to kill.

 

Connor: You’ve seen it out there, just like I have. And you’ll do the right thing.

 

<Connor puts the sword in its sheath.>

 

Connor: Because if you don’t, they’ll kill you.

 

<Connor shoots a final stake at the target, hitting the bullseye. Close in on bullseye, fade to intro.>

 

Scene 2:

 

<The sun beams down and hits Connor’s sword. Connor raises it and comes down on a demon’s chest. Connor turns to watch as Kent does battle, blocking a punch with a spear and punching it into the monster’s abdomen.>

 

<The spiked-faced demon is watching from above on a building. He’s taking notes.>

 

Spiked Demon: Now that’s not a good test of strength. One good right and he was done for. What was he worth?

 

Robed Figure: Can you get something stronger?

 

Spiked Demon: Of course I can. There are plenty of mercenaries around here for hire. And they’ll all want a piece of him.

 

<Spiked-faced demon pops a few pills. He shakes himself.>

 

Spiked Demon: I can feel the power.

 

Robed Figure: Good. You’ll need it.

 

<Back in their underground den, Connor and Kent are standing over a sleeping Eliana on a cot.>

 

Kent: She’s too young to be a part of this. But she has no choice. They were going to kill her out there.

 

Connor: There are others out there just like her.

 

Kent: Don’t get too attached to the idea that you are their savior.

 

Connor: I’m not. It just feels right now like there’s so much I can do.

 

<Connor heads over to the stove, turning on the gas to a propane can and lighting a fire. He puts a pot of water over the burner. Kent follows him.>

 

Kent: What we need to do is start trying to figure out what their next movement is. These monsters all have their patterns, all have instincts that they adhere to.

 

Connor: I remember.

 

Kent: What was that?

 

Connor: I know, I’ve seen it.

 

Kent: And we’re going to start making impressions around here. There are some big players out there, and their going to start paying attention. Sooner or later.

 

<Cut to the spiked-faced demon. He’s meeting with a large, muscular demon with rough, tanned skin. They’re in the street at night.>

 

Spiked-faced demon: So you’re the great Volar. I’m Rudy.

 

Volar: No need for names here.

 

<Volar takes two pictures from Rudy.

 

Volar: So this is the son of the vampire.

 

Rudy: Watch out. He’s quite the little firecracker out there. He might give you a little trouble.

 

<Three blades emit from the back of Volar’s fist. He whips them at running human, with all three striking the side of the head within an inch of each other.>

 

Volar: Do you want to say that again?

[Anya 0]

Are you gay?

 

No. Why would you say that? Just because I like anya doesn't mean I am gay.

[Mole 0]

Are you gay?

 

No. Why would you say that? Just because I like anya doesn't mean I am gay.

[Anya 0]

Youre mean.

 

 

I think I've changed my mind about Illyria. She is just too funny to hate. I'm watching Origin now and the bits with Spike are just awesome.

[Mole 0]

[Anya 0]

Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be bunnies!!!!!!!

 

or maybe midgets?

[BlackFlagg 0]

[Anya 0]

Anya learning capitolism from The Game of Life is one of the best things ever.

[Mole 0]

I can't remember exactly what the scene was, or what episode, but it was with Anya and Xander. Anya said something to do with how that person isn't being patriotic because she isn't buying anything.

 

What episode is that from?

[Anya 0]

Tough Love.

 

It's in the Magic Box. Willow and Giles are there too. Anya says she has realized she is not just mortal, but an American too. She starts ranting about how these old people are un-American because they're just looking instead of buying.

 

The best part is how when she first starts rambling about it Willow and Xander look at each other and Xander is like "ok...I'm going in......" and then asks Anya to elaborate. They like know she is about to say something goofy.

[Mole 0]

Okay thanks, I couldn't remember the episode. Here is the scene:

 

Shot of the customers examining the merchandise.

 

Shot of Anya watching them, partly hidden behind a display case.

 

XANDER: Honey.

 

Anya whirls around to face him.

 

XANDER: Old saying. "A watched customer never buys."

ANYA: They would if they were patriotic.

 

Xander and Willow both put down their reading material, look at Anya, then look at each other.

 

XANDER: (to Willow) Okay, I'm goin' in. (to Anya) Patriotic?

ANYA: Yes. I've recently come to realize there's more to me than just being human. (proudly) I'm also an American.

 

Giles appears, holding a cup of tea.

 

GILES: Yes, I suppose you are, in a manner of speaking. You were born here -- your mortal self.

 

He walks past her.

 

ANYA: Well, that's right, foreigner. (Giles gives her a look) So I've been reading a lot about the good ol' us of A (she says "us" not "U.S."), embracing the extraordinarily precious ideology that's helped to shape and define it.

WILLOW: Democracy?

ANYA: Capitalism. The free market depends on the profitable exchange of goods for currency. (Xander and Willow exchange an amused look) It's a system of symbiotic beauty apparently lost on these old people. (turns to look back at the customers) Look at 'em. Perusing the shelves. Undressing the merchandise with their eyeballs (turns back to the others) all ogle, no cash. It's not just annoying, it's unAmerican.

 

Giles comes over to her and peers past her at the customers.

 

GILES: Appalling. Almost as if they no longer think money can buy happiness.

 

He walks off.

 

ANYA: Totally unAmerican. Oh, and you know what else is unAmerican? French people.

WILLOW: You don't say.

ANYA: From what I hear, they don't tip. Now, French old people? That's *really* the bottom of the barrel, you know?

XANDER: Ahn, how's about we try being a bit less prejudiced, and a bit more inclusive? Not us, (indicates himself and Willow, then points to Anya) just you.

ANYA: Fine. I'm gonna make those fogeys buy things.

[Guest Brian]

That foreigner line to Giles was so beautiful.

[Mole 0]

Those type of remarks is why Anya was awesome.

She still is, cause she lives on to me.

 

 

The Magic Box really brought out the best in An. There's so many classic moments with her that took place there.

[Mole 0]

I miss the library though.

[AnonymousBroccoli 0]

I'm watching The Harsh Light of Day, and I thought the whole scenario surrounding this line was very funny. Then there's the whole naked Anya appeal.

 

Anya: I like you. You're funny, and you're nicely shaped. And frankly, it's ludicrous to have these interlocking bodies and not...interlock. Please remove your clothing now.

[Guest Brian]

Full Episode Three. This has been the easiest for me to write so far. I've got three different dialogues plus two subplots with villain to deal with, so this one flows a lot better than the others. A lot of continuity in there for you guys, and I think you'll enjoy the ending. Here goes:

 

Scene 1:

 

<Kent is fitting something on Connor’s arm. Connor turns and shoots at a target, placing three stakes in rapid-fire fashion along the rim of the bullseye.>

 

Kent: This idea of yours works well. It should be a good tool out there.

Connor: It’s not about being strong. It’s about being smart.

 

<Connor wields the sword in his hand. Cut to flashback in Quor’toth. Connor is battling against an ubervamp.>

 

Holtz: Know their moves before they make them.

 

<The Ubervamp swipes, scratching Connor along the chest.>

 

Holtz: Identify the weakness, lure it in, and attack.

 

<Connor lunges back, deflecting a charge with his sword. He brings the blade down in the back and through the heart, causing the ubervamp to dust.>

 

Holtz: And that is how you do it my boy, Steven.

 

<Cut back to present.>

<Three blades emit from the back of Volar’s fist. He whips them at running human, with all three striking the side of the head within an inch of each other.>

 

Volar: Do you want to say that again?

 

Scene 3:

 

<Middle of the day, streets of Los Angeles in the barrio. Connor and Kent are walking the streets, both armed with swords.>

 

Connor: Do you really think these things are going to smarten up? They’re all beasts at heart, they all live for the kill, are all driven by blood.

 

Kent: Aren’t we all?

 

Connor: I mean, these creatures are not adaptable. They have one drive that rules them. They know only violence.

 

Kent: For monsters so bent on destruction and mayhem, they do seem to know what times to avoid. Does it seem a little quiet out here?

 

<A long scratching is heard in the background. Camera turns to show Volar, in a trenchcoat, with both fists armed.>

 

Connor: Well, I’ve been looking for a good fight.

 

Volar: Look no further.

 

<Connor and Kent charge at Volar. Volar grabs Connors sword and deflects Kent’s blow, kicking him away. He hits a right hand on Connor, and tosses his sword to the side. He whips his arm and flings three blades at Connor, which he rolls away from and returns fire with three rapid stakes. Two are dodged, and a third caught between the blades of Volar’s left hand. Kent is slowly rising from his left side, picking up Connor’s dropped sword. In the process, Connor has kip-upped and is now standing.>

 

Volar: Is that the best you have?

 

Connor: No, I have one more.

 

<Connor shoots a fourth stake, braising against Volar’s leg. He takes a step backward, then regroups.>

 

Volar: Three of a kind trumps that.

 

<Volar raises his arm and prepares to whip it. Kent meets his arm on the downswing, taking off two blades before Volar changes directions. He spins, throwing the final blade at a charging Connor nailing him in the upper ribs. Connor stumbles, falling to a knee. Kent throws him both swords, and Connor crosses them, rising to his feet. Kent whips out a mini-crossbow from under his coat, circling back towards Connor.>

 

Volar: So we bid ado. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

 

<Volar turns away, leaving. As he gets out of sight, Connor falls back to his knee. He pulls the blade from the wound. Kent puts away his crossbow and helps Connor down a manhole.>

 

<Back at the den, Connor has his shirt off and cloth around the wound. Eliana is watching. Kent is grabbing supplies out of the cabinet. He walks over to Connor with a new washcloth, dabbed with alcohol. He cleans around the wound.>

 

Kent: You heal quickly.

 

Eliana: What happened?

 

Kent: Connor made a new friend.

 

Connor: I can take him.

 

Kent: We don’t even know what he is and were poorly equipped as is. You stay here with Eliana, I’m going to head above ground.

 

<Kent empties out a bag full of weapons. He picks up the double-headed axe. He clips on a box of throwing stars to his belt, and carries the katana is its sheath over his shoulder. He carries the empty bag in his other hand and leaves into one of the tunnels.>

 

Connor: Do you want to come with me?

 

Elaina: I heard him say that we were staying here. As in not going out there. As in not getting killed.

 

Connor: I’m not going to let you get killed.

 

Eliana: But you’re hurt.

 

Connor: I have to find this guy before he finds us. He was definitely coming after me. And more than likely, he’s not going to stop. I need to find him first. I’m not going to let him hurt you. And the only way I can make sure he can’t hurt you is if you’re with me.

 

<Connor walks over to the pile of weapons. He pulls out the crossbow, then walks over to Eliana. He pulls an arrow from a quiver and arms it.>

 

Connor: It arms just like that. Aim through the two points and pull the trigger.

 

Eliana: I see.

 

<Connor picks up the broad sword. He straps the stake shooter to his wrist.>

 

<Cut to Volar and Rudy are meeting inside a warehouse. Volar has his back turned, Rudy is pacing.>

 

Volar: You lied to me.

 

Rudy: I gave you a target.

 

Volar: You didn’t tell me about the man. I could have killed them both if I would have known.

 

Rudy: Then why didn’t you.

 

Volar: They got away. They won’t next time.

 

<Cut to Kent walking down the tunnel. A female vampire emerges from the shadows.>

 

Vampire: Boys, it’s time to eat.

 

<Three other vampires emerge, with the camera shooting from ground level behind Kent. He drops his bag.>

 

Scene 4:

 

<Scene is cut-up, as Kent is fighting all four vampires. He finishes the female off last by slicing her head off with his axe.>

 

<Cut to Connor, who is back on the same city street in the barrio as earlier. He’s looking around trying to find something.>

 

Eliana: Are you picking up on anything.

 

Connor: No, I think he went south. But the scent is fading.

 

<Eliana looks up at the setting sun.>

 

Eliana: How much longer should we stay out here?

 

Connor: We’ll move south and catch up to him. We should be able to find cover if we miss him.

 

<Connor grabs Eliana by the hand and starts to move out.>

 

<Cut to Kent standing over the fallen Hyperion. He’s digging in the rubble. He finds a volume and stashes it in his bag.>

 

<Cut back to Connor and Eliana. They’re outside a warehouse. Connor looks around, then takes a step back.>

 

Eliana: What are you going to do?

 

<Connor lunges at the door, kicking it down. He steps inside, with Eliana following.>

 

Volar, v.o.: So, the offspring has returned.

 

<Volar jumps down from a two-story drop.>

 

Volar: Are you on a date? Is it alright to come out and play?

 

Connor: It’s always alright.

 

Volar: You sure you’re up to this? Not too hurt are we now?

 

Connnor: I heal quickly.

 

<Volar extends his arms, emitting three blades on each hand.>

 

Volar: This is gonna be fun.

 

<Volar whips his arm throwing a blade at Eliana. Connor blocks it, but it gives Volar enough time to get inside on Connor. Volar attempts to punch him in the gut but Connor dodges, slicing off three spikes. Connor reverses his grip on the sword and tries to take of his head, but Volar ducks and slices Connor. Connor lets go of the arm and staggers back. Volar licks the blood on his two remaining blades on his left hand. Connor is clutching his prior wound.>

 

Volar: You’re making this too much fun.

 

<Connor charges back. He swings but Volar catches it with his left and brings down a right on Connor’s face. Connor breaks the hold with a kick and hits a jumping roundhouse. Connor tries it again but gets caught and thrown across the room, tumbling on the floor. Volar whips his final two blades at Connor, but he rolls away and kips up.>

 

Volar: Guess we’ll have to do this the old fashioned way.

 

<Volar and Connor meet hand to hand, exchanging right hooks. Connor goes from a high body kick but Volar blocks and backhands him, then meets him with a clothesline. He stands over him, looking at his right hand, as three new blades emerge.>

 

Volar: Ahh, got to replenish the well.

 

<Eliana shoots an arrow at Volar, which he dodges rather easily.>

 

Volar: You missed.

 

<He looks down, as Connor has just deposited three stakes in his gut.>

 

Connor: No, I didn’t.

 

<He puts a fourth in his forehead for good measure. Eliana runs over and helps him two his feet.>

 

Eliana: Are you okay?

 

Connor: Yeah, we got him didn’t we?

 

<Connor notices something sticking out of the coat pocket. He bends down and picks up two pictures. He looks at them.>

 

Scene 5:

 

<Rudy is meeting with the robed figure in a torn up lobby.>

 

Rudy: We should be able to get better accommodations then this. Who’s going to stop us.

 

Robed figure: You failed.

 

Rudy: I didn’t fail. He failed. We can find better.

 

Robed figure: The find me better. And get the job done.

 

<Rudy pulls a cell phone out of his jacket and starts dialing as the robed figure walks away.>

 

<Cut to Connor and Eliana return to their den. Eliana is elated about getting to be a part of some of the action. Kent is sitting down at a desk.>

 

Kent: Where have you two been?

 

Connor: Hunting.

 

<He drops the two pictures of himself on the desk.>

 

Connor: They’re after us.

 

<Kent looks after the pictures. He passes an open section of a book to Connor.>

 

Connor: What’s a Turkiyan Knight.

 

Kent: Strong beast, used to be of a mystical order. Much weaker then in their former state. Work as mercenaries, strictly for the violence.

 

Connor: So someone bigger is after me.

 

Kent: The question is, how much bigger?

 

<Cut to a robed figure walking up to the Hyperion ruins, just a skeleton of itself engulfed by rubble. It searches through the rubble, and uncovers a bookcase. It pulls out three books, stacking them on top of each other. The top book has a picture of a wolf on its cover.>

I said it before, every time I get paid, I'm am going to do anya dance of capitilistic superioty (as shown in the halloween ep in season 6)

Xander: And the amazing thing? Still more romantic than Faith...

 

 

 

The extremely rude, old school Anya was so great. I love how early in that ep she tells Giles to go away.

So Kent is a Power that Be, right?

[AnonymousBroccoli 0]

After The Harsh Light of Day comes the corresponding In the Dark to continue the Gem of Amara story. It also has a great sequence, during the opening, with Spike watching Angel and Rachel from a rooftop. I though it was extra funny, because some of the gestures that went with the goofy dialogue reminded me of cornball cutscenes during the Resident Evil game.

 

[as Rachel] How can I thank you, you mysterious black-clad hunk of a night thing? [as Angel] No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No, not the hair! Never the hair! [as Rachel] But there must be some way I can show my appreciation? [as Angel] No, helping those in need's my job, and working up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough. [as Rachel] I understand. I have a nephew who is gay, so... [as Angel] Say no more. Evil's still afoot. And I'm almost out of that nancy-boy hair-gel I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!

[Guest Brian]

So Kent is a Power that Be, right?

No, he's an agent like Skip, not just a conduit. An almost direct connection.

Episode 4 is gonna take a while longer.

Damn, I need to pop in my DVD just for that part, always been one of my fav. Spike moments, heh

[LaParkaMarka 0]

Definately a good Spike moment. He was so awesome pre-chip.

 

Love the third ep Brian. They're quite fun to read, and you can really visualize the episodes.
