Buffy the Vampire Slayer Page #8

Synopsis: "In every generation there is a chosen one... she alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer." Buffy Summers knows this tale by heart, and no matter how hard she tries to be just a "normal girl", she can not escape from her destiny... Thankfully, she is not alone in her quest to save the world, as she has the help of her friends, the hilarious (and surprisingly quite effective) evil-fighting team called "The Scooby Gang". Together, Buffy & co. will slay their demons, survive one apocalypse after another, attend high school and college... and above all, understand that growing up can truly be Hell sometimes... literally.

BENNY:

Amazing!

KIMBERLY:

(to the other girls)

Smell of booze much.

NICOLE:

Nice much.

PIKE:

(to the waitress)

Can we have a hot dog, please, medium

rare, and a cup of joe?

BUFFY:

You guys are thrashed.

JENNIFER:

(to Buffy)

What are you talking to them for?

BENNY:

(to Buffy)

What did you say?

PIKE:

Yeah, we're drunk. We're the Drunks.

What's your name?

BUFFY:

Buffy.

BENNY:

Figures.

PIKE:

Do people ever call you 'Buffy the

Buffalo?' I'm just wondering.

Buffy gives him a look.

PIKE:

(continuing)

The don't. You kind of wish they

would, though.

KIMBERLY:

Wit-tay.

PIKE:

I'm sorry. I'm Pike. This is Benny.

KIMBERLY:

Pike isn't a name. It's a fish.

PIKE:

Hey, wait a minute...

BENNY:

You're the guys from the movie!

PIKE:

(good naturedly)

We hate you guys!

The girls all make sad noises, real sarcastic.

PIKE:

(continuing)

You guys were way rude. It was

shocking.

NICOLE:

You just snuck in anyway.

PIKE:

So you have to ruin the movie for

us? You know, other people have

feelings, too.

KIMBERLY:

I am so sure.

The waitress brings the hot do. Benny takes it out of the bun

and holds it over his crotch, phallus-like.

BENNY:

Hey, Buffy, you hungry? I got

something for you...

The other girls look down and shriek. Buffy looks at Benny,

looks at him in the eye.

ANGLE - BUFFY'S HAND

It closes silently around the knife at her place.

Buffy is still looking at Benny, she seems to be hypnotizing

him, and maybe even herself. The NOISE in the diner seems to

FADE AWAY for a moment. Buffy shifts slightly, almost a twitch,

and the spell is broken. The SOUND RETURNS, Buffy looks away,

letting go of the knife exactly where it was.

Benny looks down. His hot dog has been sliced neatly down to

about an inch. He is shocked.

BENNY:

(continuing)

Hey! She wasted my dog!

PIKE:

(smiling)

Bummer metaphor.

Buffy looks off, a little surprised herself.

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Pike and Benny have left the diner and are walking down the

street. Pike produces a bottle of Mezcal from his coat pocket

and takes a swig, hand it to Benny. They continue to pass it

back and forth.

BENNY:

Rich b*tches. They're a plague.

They've gotta be stopped.

PIKE:

You didn't like them.

BENNY:

They're all the same! They're so

stuck up, they're just... they're

not even human. I hate them.

PIKE:

Would you sleep with them?

BENNY:

Yes. Definitely. Definitely.

Please, God.

PIKE:

Well, there it is, isn't it? You

don't even like them, and you'd

sleep with them. What's that all

about?

BENNY:

I got a news flash, man, another

shot of this and I'll have sex with

you.

PIKE:

Oh, yeah, and then you'll never

call me.

They continue walking. A shadowy figure appears behind them,

following.

CUT TO:

INT. DINER - NIGHT

The girls have all finished their sundaes.

NICOLE:

Come one, that was so weird.

BUFFY:

(uncomfortable)

What, it's not weird. I just cut

the stupid hot dog in half.

KIMBERLY:

I can't believe they still ate it.

JENNIFER:

(to Buffy)

Where'd you learn how to do that?

BUFFY:

I didn't learn... I just... it's

not a big deal.
