Buffy the Vampire Slayer Page #6

JEFFREY:

You were having a nightmare.

He settles back down, his arms around her, and almost instantly

begins to fall asleep again.

JEFFREY:

(continuing)

What'd you dream about?

BUFFY:

Nothing.

JEFFREY:

Come on, what was it?

BUFFY:

Nothing. It was just a dream.

CUT TO:

INT. LOTHOS' CHAMBER - SAME TIME

Dark, cavernous -- walls hewn from rock, lit torches clamped

to them. Cold stone floor and in the foreground, a dark pool

of blood. A HUM, possibly a chant, fills the air.

A figure steps up to the pool, his back to the CAMERA, and

kneels before it. He holds his hand over the surface of the

blood. As he speaks, his voice an urgent hiss, we TRACK AROUND

him, see that it is Amilyn.

AMILYN:

You have brought us here, and we

thrive. We thrive. You will awake

in a new world. Just as I promised,

untold splendor, rubies dripping

from our lips. Just as we said.

CLOSEUP - AMILYN'S HAND

A hand shoots out of the pool and grabs Amilyn's. Amilyn leans

over and fervently kisses it.

AMILYN:

(continuing)

Soon...

CUT TO:

EXT. SCHOOL YARD - DAY

Buffy sits with Nicole, Jennifer, Kimberly and CASSANDRA.

Cassandra is not quite in the same league as the other girls --

for one thing, she studies. She's not as glamorous, nor a

vacuous.

BUFFY:

The environment.

They consider this a moment.

NICOLE:

The homelesses?

KIMBERLY:

Oh, please.

JENNIFER:

Are there any good sicknesses that

aren't too depressing?

BUFFY:

Guys. The environment. I'm telling

you, it's totally key. The earth

is in terrible shape, we could al

die, and besides, Sting's doing it.

KIMBERLY:

I thought he was doing Indians.

Jeffrey and Andy arrive, sit. Jeffrey straddles Buffy from

behind, wrapping his arms around her. She snuggles in his

grasp.

JEFFREY:

Hey there.

BUFFY:

Hi.

JENNIFER:

(shyly)

Hi, Jeffrey.

ANDY:

Whatchya guys doing?

NICOLE:

The winter dance. We need to come

up with a theme.

JEFFREY:

The senior dance? How about...

'Our Friend, the Beer?'

ANDY:

'Putting Out for Fun and Profit'...

possible thought...

KIMBERLY:

Try new Clue-flakes.

BUFFY:

It has to be, like a socially

conscious theme.

CASSANDRA:

(reading from a memo)

'One that reflects the students'

growing awareness of and involvement

in the world around them.'

JEFFREY|ANDY

Downer.

BUFFY:

I still say the environment. That's

my suggestion.

CASSANDRA:

It is a pretty crucial subject.

BUFFY:

See, Cassandra likes it. Cassandra's

my friend.

ANDY:

I like it. Can I be your friend?

JEFFREY:

Stay away from my thang.

(to Buffy)

Sorry, honey. 'Thing.'

NICOLE:

Environment. That's cool with me.

KIMBERLY:

Okay.

CASSANDRA:

So, what are the most immediate

threats to the world environment

right now?

Cassandra has paper and pen, is poised to make a list of

suggestions. The other all look at each other uncomfortably.

Cassandra obviously knows the answer, but regards her friends

silently, waiting to see what the come up with.

JEFFREY:

Well, um... litter?

ANDY:

Litter, yeah!

Everyone but Cassandra is impressed by this.

JEFFREY:

(to Cassandra)

Write that down.

JENNIFER:

Okay, what else?

NICOLE:

Forest fires?

ANDY:

Communism?

BUFFY:

Bugs.
