Buffy the Vampire Slayer Page #34

BENNY:

Never die. Never get kicked around,

never get busted.

Benny grabs him with hateful force. His fingers dig into Pike's

arms enough to draw blood.

BENNY:

(continuing)

It means never having to say you're

sorry! And you blow it all off for

that slut?! What about my needs?!

Pike suddenly grabs Benny, holds him tightly in a brotherly

embrace. Benny is thrown slightly by this.

Still holding him, Pike pitches onto the table, driving the

leg-shard through Benny's back. Pike still holds Benny as he

twitches and screams, dying. Finally, he lets go, gets up.

He looks a little dazed, a little lost. A window shattering

far behind him pulls his eyes back into focus, and he goes to

help.

ANGLE - KIMBERLY

Sitting by a wall, tiny and silent amid the carnage.

CUT TO:

INT. HALL - SAME TIME

Buffy moves quickly along, crouching near a window and peering

out. Nothing. She looks about her, waiting for an attack.

She checks her purse.

ANGLE - BUFFY'S PURSE

Cosmetics and hair spray. A small cross. No stakes left.

Muttering under her breath, she moves swiftly into a classroom.

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - SAME TIME

Still moving cautiously, she heads for the window and pulls

down the shade. She crouches behind the teacher's desk and

pulls the chair down to her, laying it on its side.

BENNY:

(cattily, to herself)

'Ooh, make me a woman, Jeffrey...

oh, Jeffrey, you're so atheletical...

I love you...'

She slams her elbow down on the chair leg -- very controlled,

efficient motion -- and snaps it off. Looks around to see if

anyone is around to hear as she picks up the leg, now a weapon.

She goes softly to the door, peers cautiously out.

CLOSEUP - BUFFY

Looking out. Amilyn's face appears right next to her, also

looking out.

AMILYN:

All clear?

Buffy screams, turns, and Amilyn decks her, sends her flying

back into the classroom. The stake flies out of her hand. It

lands on a desk by the window.

Buffy does not land nearly as well, crashing into a pile of

desks and twisting her leg badly. Amilyn laughs repulsively,

advancing.

AMILYN:

Pleased to meet you! Won't you

guess my --

(kicks her hard)

-- name?

BUFFY:

(defiantly, through the

pain)

It wouldn't be 'Dick,' would it?

He kicks her again.

BUFFY:

(continuing)

'Lefty'?

AMILYN:

You're a fool, bloodbag. Die a

fool and go to hell!

He grabs her by the neck with his one arm and pins her against

the wall in the corner. She reaches for the stake but it is

just out of reach. He is squeezing the life out of her, his

face inches from hers.

AMILYN:

(continuing)

The chosen one. You're just another

bloodbag -- not even fit to die for

the Master. When will you ever

learn?

Buffy looks about for succor.

ANGLE - THE WINDOW SHADE

Buffy eyes the bottom of the shade, the pull dangling aimlessly.

BUFFY:

(with difficulty)

I do know... one thing...

AMILYN:

What?

BUFFY:

I know... what time sunrise is.

She pulls down hard on the shade pull and lets go.

AMILYN:

No!

He turns in horror, letting go of Buffy, trying to catch the

shade. The instant he releases her, Buffy grabs the stake and

in one swift motion, buries it in Amilyn's back.

The shade goes up, flapping loudly as it spins. It is still

pitch black out. Amilyn stare, wide-eyed and silent, at the

night as he dies.

BUFFY:

It's in about four hours, Dick.

Amilyn spins, dying rage in his eyes. He grabs her. His

strength is formidable even as his body begins to smoke.

Suddenly screaming, he forces her over suddenly with such power

that the two of them go crashing through the floorboards.

CUT TO:

INT. LOTHOS' CHAMBER - SAME TIME

The two of them fall through the ceiling directly into the

blood pool.

Amilyn's body surfaces first, now just a husk.

Buffy pops up from the waist-deep blood, soaked and wounded.

She stays a moment, breathing hard. Suddenly her eyes go wide.

BUFFY:

Oh, god, no... not yet...

Lothos rises from the pool, smiling. Buffy is clearly paralyzed

by fear.

LOTHOS:

I knew you'd come.

He moves toward her.

LOTHOS:

(continuing)

You knew it, too, didn't you? All

your life, dreaming... waiting to

feed me.
