Act Three
33Px4) "And you're sure this was the tomb of Alfalfa?" PLANTY GOODNESS: "Alfalfa is a plant used for animal feed, and occasionally eaten by humans."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
POP CULTURE TIME: "Alfalfa was [also the name of] a member of The Little Rascals, a group of kids who starred in the Our Gang series of short films from 1922 to 1944 (Interestingly enough, one of the other characters in the Our Gang comedies was a girl named Darla.)."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
"His distinctive features were a permanent 'rooster tail' or 'cow lick' of hair that stuck straight up behind the part in his hair which ran down the center of the top of his head; freckles; and a very bad, but very charming boyish singing voice. As Al Schweitzer the same actor appeared in a few movies as an adult, including It's a Wonderful Life."--Cactus Watcher, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:59:41
33Qx4) "Well, the, uh...the Demon Universe exists in a dimension separate from our own." BUFFYVERSE METAPHYSICS: Actually, we will come to learn that there are billions of separate demon dimensions (as well as nice dimensions!), but here Giles is probably just referring to this particular one because it's easier shorthand.
33Rx4) "...whirlpool that will pull everything on Earth into that dimension, where any non-demon life will suffer horrible and...eternal torment." EVIL ANGELUS: "Condemning humanity to eternal damnation would be pretty much the ultimate thrill for a pathological sadist like Angelus."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
33Sx4) "I don't *wanna* be our only hope! Uh, I crumble under pressure! Let's have another hope." FEARFUL WILLOW: "Willow has a similar reaction in The Gift when Buffy calls her their 'big gun,'...[as well as in Chosen.] It’s interesting that Willow was very eager to try the re-souling spell, but wavers when there is a chance she may fail/disappoint others." Also signficant is this is the first time we will hear Buffy acknowledge how important Willow is in the fight. As Willow's power grows, she will acknowledge this more and more, which, consequently, makes Willow even more nervous, since Buffy has total faith in her and her inner shy geek, again, fears failure. --ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02, with some additions by Rob
33Tx4) "We have." POP CULTURE TIME: This exchange is highly reminscent of a famous scene from the second Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back. As Luke Skywalker goes off to free his friends, one of his Jedi masters, Obi-Wan, says to the other, Yoda, "That boy is our last hope." "No," Yoda replies. "There is another."
33Ux4) "Blessed by the knight who first slew the demon." POP CULTURE TIME: "As Luke is given his Jedi Knight father's lightsaber by Obi-Wan Kenobi [in the first Star Wars film, A New Hope], so is Buffy given a magic sword (blessed by a knight) by Kendra (presumably, Kendra got it from her Watcher, Sam Zabuto, or from the Watchers' Council)."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
That lightsaber itself is a reference to King Arthur's mythical sword, Excalibur. In one version of the King Arthur tale, he pulls Excalibur out of a stone (see 33Ox4). In another, it is given to him by the Lady of the Lake, both versions of which have been reflected in this episode, with Kendra playing the role of the Lady. Therefore, both Buffy and Angel will have Excalibur-like magical swords with which to fight each other.
33Vx4) "I've got one...I-I've been using it as a...paperweight." CONTINUITY CHECK: "The punchline to a set up in Passion, where the late Magic Box proprieter talked of selling Orbs as 'New Age paperweights'."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59 See 29YY.
33Wx4) "Or maybe I'll be taking them forever." TO REIGN IN HELL: "Buffy is voicing the concept of hell as the same horrible event or series of events being repeated ad infinitum. Eugene Ionesco is well-known for stating this concept as, 'L'enfer, c'est la répétition' (Hell is repetition)." This is also similar to her test nightmare in Nightmares (see 10Z-10BB).--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03, with additions by Rob
33Xx4) "Spike, my sweet! The fun's about to begin." FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: In the original script, this is followed by this exchange:
SPIKE: It is? Seems more to me like the fun's about to end.
DRUSILLA: Don't be all gloomy.
SPIKE: Darling, if this works, everything changes. Think about it. In this world, we can be kings. In the next...
DRUSILLA: My Spikey's getting cold feet. Don't you worry about the next world. You'll always have me.
SPIKE: Will I?
If it wasn't due to time constraints, Joss probably decided to eliminate this dialogue because it may make Spike's betrayal of Angel in Becoming II too obvious. We already know that Spike hates Angel. This scene perhaps overstates what we already know a bit too much.--"Becoming" by Joss Whedon, available through Pocketbooks, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4
33Yx4) The two vampires drag in a young man, barefoot and bare-chested with his hands tied behind his back. SUBTEXTY GOODNESS: "Some people have pointed out that the anonymous victim here is physically not unlike Xander."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
33Zx4) "Bear witness...as I ascend...as I become." LINKAGE: "Another villain who will speak in terms of his 'Ascension' will be next season's big bad, Mayor Richard Wilkins III."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Ax5) "Everything that I am, everything that I have done, has led me here." DESTINY: "This is where Angelus' monologue has been leading us. There is a deranged sense of destiny about his words. In deciding that he is the one to send them all to hell, he has turned from stalking to megalomania."--MsGiles, Tues, 05/27/03 at 16:24:02
33Bx5) The bum, tired and weak, staggers into a concrete post at the side of the alley and stops. He coughs and rolls around to lean with his back against the post, and it's Angel, tired, filthy and unkempt. CONTINUITY CHECK: "The implication in this episode [seems to be] that Angel lived as a down-and-out from 1898 onwards. It will subsequently be demonstrated in various Angel episodes that things were rather more complicated."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
33Cx5) He takes a couple of unsteady steps, brushes the hair from his face and begins to stalk the rat. LITERATURE TIME: Anne Rice's character, Louis, a vampire who does not want to harm humans and feels guilty about causing death, feeds on rats and other small animals in order to live, something which is looked down upon and seen as a weakness by the other vampires. See 7UU, 15M, 15UUU, 19V, 19SS, and 31WW.
33Dx5) "God, are you disgusting." FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "WHISTLER is young in appearance, and wearing a bad suit over a loud shirt. He looks like a bottom-ranked mafioso. His manner, like his outfit, is loud and grating."--"Becoming" by Joss Whedon, available through Pocketbooks, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4
BE MY GUIDE: "Whistler proves to be Angel's first guide, the one that points him toward helping Buffy. His position as guide will later be taken over by the half-Brachen-demon visionary, Allen Francis Doyle."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
POP CULTURE TIME: "The apparent references may be coincidental, but Whistler is also the name of the private eye protagonist of the late Robert Campbell's La-la Land sequence of LA-set hard-boiled detective novels. They have a remarkably bleak and violent approach, and while they don't feature any overtly supernatural events, several pit Whistler against various types of Satanist and black magician. Whistler is also the name of the hero's mentor figure in the Blade comics and films, which feature a half-vampire-half-human vampire killer."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
33Ex5) "This is really an unforgettable smell." SMELLY ANGEL: "Interestingly enough, the first thing that Angel says to Doyle (after the inevitable 'Who are you?') is also a commentary on odor: 'You don't smell human.'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Fx5) "What are you gonna do, bite me?" BITE THIS: "Also ties to Angel's first words to Buffy in Welcome to the Hellmouth: 'Ah, heh. Is there a problem, ma'am?...I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I don't bite." There are parallels between Angel's conversation with Buffy, his with Whistler and his with Doyle. All three become guides of some sort for him."--lunasea, Mon, 05/26/03 at 16:47:28 See 1FF.
33Gx5) "Horrors! A vampire!" SARCASTIC WHISTLER: "At their initial meeting, Doyle also speaks of Angel's vampirism, albeit in a less sarcastic way than Whistler: 'I come in uninvited, so you know I'm not a vampire like yourself.'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Hx5) "It's so sad, a vampire with a soul. It's so poignant." LINKAGE: "Or, [as amnesiac] Buffy [says] in Season 6's Tabula Rasa...: 'A vampire with a soul?...Oh my god, how lame is that?'"--MsGiles, Tues, 05/27/03 at 16:24:02
SARCASTIC WHISTLER: "To continue the parallels in the two conversations, Doyle also refers to Angel's soul, saying that once the soul was restored, Angel went 'mad with guilt' and was 'freaked.'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Ix5) "What are you eating? Like, a rat once a month?" EATING HABITS: "Doyle asks a similar question: 'When was the last time you drank blood?'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Jx5) "Hey! Look, you're skin and bones here!" POP CULTURE TIME: "Whistler’s delivery and the New York setting suggest a reference to the street-crossing scene in Midnight Cowboy, 'Hey! I’m walking here!'"--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02
33Kx5) "Not yet. But I'm looking to find out. 'Cause you could go either way here." FORESHADOWY GOODNESS: This foreshadows the evil law firm, Wolfram and Hart's attempts in the second season of Angel to get Angel to turn dark, because it is prophesied that he will play a major role in upcoming apocalyptic battles and yet doesn't specify whether he will be on the side of light or dark.
33Lx5) "Nobody understands me. That's my curse." GREEK TO ME: "Possibly referring to Cassandra. In Greek myth, Cassandra was wooed by Apollo, who gave her the power to foretell the future. However, as she refused his advances, he added the proviso that no-one would ever believe what she foretold, making the gift into a curse. 'Nobody understands me' is also a common complaint of the self-pitying, as Angel is here." The Cassandra myth will be referenced more overtly in the seventh season's Help.--MsGiles, Tues, 05/27/03 at 16:24:02, with additions by Rob
33Mx5) "Dog me. Mustard." EATING HABITS: "Just as Whistler, while out with Angel, buys a hot dog with mustard (and how all-American that is!), so does Doyle, while out with Angel, buy a bottle of Billy Dee."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Nx5) "A demon... technically. I mean, I'm not a bad guy. Not all demons are dedicated to the destruction of all life." FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: In the original script, Whistler continues, "Someone has to maintain balance, you know. Good and evil can't exist without each other, blah blah blah. I'm not like a good fairy or anything, I'm just trying to make it all balance -- do I come off defensive?"--"Becoming" by Joss Whedon, available through Pocketbooks, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4
WATCHFUL WHISTLER: "Whistler is a demon, but he is not 'dedicated to the destruction of all life,' as many other demons are. In Becoming, he calls Angel to join the forces of good. In Becoming II, he tells Buffy how to stop Angelus and Acathla. 'He's a Watcher-type...guides people, but doesn't really interfere himself. Annoying, but I guess that's how it works: "In the end, all you have is yourself. That's the point' (Mircalla, Jan 3 20:01 1999)."--Masquerade, "Becoming" Analysis from http://www.atpobtvs.com
ARE DEMONS EVIL?: "This comment (which mirrors Doyle's comment that he is very much human---on his mother's side) is the first statement in the series that demons are not inevitably evil--that they, like humans, can serve the power of good. This is a critical turning point for Buffy. Prior to this, killing demons was seen as the right thing to do because they were invariably evil. If demons, like humans, can choose to be good or evil, then they are people...not brutal animals that can be killed without a second thought. This ambiguity will increase dramatically as the series progresses."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
I wouldn't go quite so far as to say that any demon is capable of being good. See Joss's definition of the soul in 7NN, which states that the soul is a moral compass. One doesn't necessarily need one to be good, but a soulless creature's instinct will be to do bad. Therefore, most demons are still evil, although there are certain sects of peaceful or good demons. Buffy will eventually take the fact that a demon can be good into account, and usually only attack demons that pose an immediate threat to her, her loved ones, and the world.
33Ox5) "I mean that you can become an even more useless rodent than you already are, or you can become someone. A person. Someone to be counted." BALANCING THE SCALES: "Doyle tells Angel that he's 'got potential' but that 'the balance sheet isn't exactly in your favor.'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:06:03
33Px5) ...Angel squints out into the daylight, careful to remain in shadow. LOLITA-ISH: "It isn't stated in the transcript, but Buffy is very childishly sucking a lollipop in this scene, which does give a certain stress to the Buffy/Angel age gap. Oh, and he is hanging around a school playground..."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
"Buffy and her lollipop, especially since she is being observed by a much older man, call to mind...[Stanley Kubrick's] 1962 film version of [Vladimir Nabokov's] Lolita, which was notable for its image of a lollipop-sucking [young girl played by] Sue Lyons."--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02 See 7Q, 18SS, and 25LL.
CONTINUITY CHECK: See 1GG.
EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE: See 33Vx5 and 34Jx4.
33Qx5) "So I'm like, 'Dad, do you want me to go to the dance in an outfit I've already worn? Why do you hate me?'" FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: "BUFFY Walking along with her FRIENDS, talking. She is all of fifteen, completely carefree and not a little superficial."--"Becoming" by Joss Whedon, available through Pocketbooks, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4
THE CORDY CONNECTION: In a few short lines, we see how alike Buffy and Cordy used to be. See 1N and 11P.
33Rx5) "Buffy Summers?" INTERWINEY PATHS: "This is the moment for Buffy when her life changes forever, and she finds that she is the Slayer. It is not something she seems to have a choice over, something she bitterly resents later on. As we see, it is also where Angel's trajectory intersects with Buffy's for the first time. He is on the brink of making a choice, possibly his first real choice, and certainly his first positive one, to assist her."--MsGiles, Tues, 05/27/03 at 16:24:02
FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT: According to Joss Whedon's original script, this Watcher is indeed named Merrick, the same as her original Watcher from the movie, there played by Donald Sutherland. See .--"Becoming" by Joss Whedon, available through Pocketbooks, Inc. as Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Script Book, Season Two, Volume 4
There are some definite differences, however, between our Buffy and the movie Buffy, two of which are that "in the film, Merrick first approaches Buffy in a shopping mall, not at school...[and] Buffy's boyfriend at the start of the film is not named Tyler [as it is on the show]."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59 See 1J.
PRODUCTION NOTES: "Richard Riehle, the actor who plays Buffy's original Watcher, Merrick, is a very avid character actor in film and television, represented by his many other TV and movie roles (such as Desperate Measures, Of Mice and Men, and Office Space for movies, and Murder She Wrote, The West Wing, and Star Trek: Voyager for television). He currently plays Walt Finnerty on the WB Sitcom Grounded for Life, and is slated to star in ABC's fall 2003 sitcom Back to Kansas."--Nitz the Bloody, Sat, 05/24/03 at 22:41:06
33Sx5)
"You're not from Bullock's, are you? 'Cause I-I meant to pay for that
lipstick." ODDS AND ENDS: "Bullock's is a chain
of department stores in California. One of the stores, Bullock's Wilshire in
Los Angeles, is considered an Art Deco masterpiece. Greta Garbo, Mae West and
Marlene Dietrich all shopped at Bullock's Wilshire.
This comment about the lipstick foreshadows one that Buffy's sister, Dawn, will
make in All The Way: 'I haven't paid for lipstick in forever.'
From http://www.restlessbtvs.com/episodes/season2/21becoming1/index.html:
'During the flashback to Hemery High there's a continuity error as Buffy's swirly
lollipop gets bigger and smaller between shots while she speaks to...Merrick.'
From http://www.restlessbtvs.com/episodes/season2/21becoming1/index.html:
'Hemery High: The building of Hemery High, Buffy's previous school, was also
used as the clock tower in the Back To The Future movies. The set stands
on the Universal Studios lot, along with a number of European village sets often
used in Buffy and Angel flashbacks.'"--Farquarson,
Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Tx5) "Oh! Not the heart!" CONTINUITY CHECK: In the seventh season premiere, Lessons, Buffy will confess to Dawn, after her failed attempt to stake a vamp, that she missed the heart too on her first try.
33Ux5) Her parents talk in the hall, and she can hear as it escalates into an argument. CONTINUITY CHECK: "From http://www.restlessbtvs.com/episodes/season2/21becoming1/index.html: 'The scene of Buffy listening to her parents argue in Los Angeles in 1996 conflicts with the timeline presented in Nightmares, in which Buffy says that her parents divorce was 'finalized last year, but they were separated for a while before that (see 10D).'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Vx5) Angel looks in at her from outside. FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN: "A continuation of the motif of Angel being shown outside homes, always watching life from the outside. In Angel [the Series], especially this represents Angel’s separation from ordinary life, from the family he craves."--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02 See 33Px5 and 34Jx4.
33Wx5) "She's just a kid. The world's full of big, bad things." HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW?: "Buffy was stated to be seventeen in January 1998 (Surprise) and was acting as a Slayer in L.A. in 1996, so she must have been called when she was fifteen or so."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Xx5) "I wanna help her. I want...I wanna become someone." CONTINUITY CHECK: This line of course sets up why Angel is in Sunnydale, helping Buffy out, in the first season. See 1JJ.
33Yx5) "The more you live in this world, the more you see how apart from it you really are." WISE WHISTLER: "Doyle also tells Angel how disconnected he is from the world: 'You see this vampire, he thinks he’s helping. Fighting the demons. Staying away from the human’s so as not to be tempted. Doing penance in his little - cell. But he’s cut off. From every thing. From the people he’s trying to help...It’s not all about fighting and gadgets and stuff. It’s about reaching out to people, showing them that there’s love and hope still left in the world...It’s about letting them into your heart. It’s not about saving lives; it’s about saving souls. Hey, possibly your own in the process.'"--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Zx5) "I have strayed, I have been lost. But Acathla redeems me." REDEMPTION: "Even as Angelus, his primary concern is his own redemption."--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02
DEGRADATION MOST HOLY: "This speech and the ritual are, to some extent, a parody of the Catholic Mass--the blood of a vampire's victim 'purifies' and 'makes the vampire worthy' in Acathla's sight; Angelus publicly confesses his 'sins' in straying from the 'true path' of the vampire; and Acathla is cast in the role of Holy (or rather, Unholy) Redeemer."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
Act Four
33Ax6) "You will come to him...You will come to him or more will die." KILLING THE MESSENGER: This is the second time Angel has sent one of his miniony vamps as a message to Buffy. See 27*1.
33Bx6) "Why don't you just wait here to find out if it worked, see if he phones you?" CORDY SMART: "Actually, this makes sense. If Willow conducted the ritual immediately and restored Angel's soul, he would lose the desire to kill innocents and to free Acathla. Buffy wouldn't need to fight him."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Cx6) "In case de curse does not succeed, dis is my lucky stake. I have killed many vampires wit it. I call it Mr. Pointy." DE VAMPIRE SLAYER: "Notice that Kendra has anthropomorphized the stake, giving it the name of a person. Once again, we see shades of Kendra's loneliness; deprived of contact with most people, and having no friends on whom to rely, she's given a name to the one thing that she can count on in a fight: her stake. As Buffy says, Kendra really does need a stuffed animal. Something to love, anyway."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Dx6) "After your immolation-o-gram?" THAT'S PUNNY!: A pun on the word, "telegram."
33Ex6) "...pulling the sword out of Al Franken..." POP CULTURE TIME: "Al Franken is a comedian and political satirist. He won five Emmys for Saturday Night Live, four for writing and one for producing. He co-wrote and produced When A Man Loves A Woman, starring Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan, and in 1996 wrote a book that swiftly became infamous, entitled, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. Franken also appeared in the 1998 HBO miniseries From The Earth To The Moon as Presidential Science Advisor Jerome Weisner."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Fx6) Suddenly a vampire comes out from the stacks and attacks Xander from behind. BAD IDEA: "Giles and the Scoobies appear to have forgotten a very basic fact--the school building is a public place, one not requiring an invitation to enter. They really should have remembered this, as Jenny was at school when Angelus attacked and killed her."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
33Gx6) "This wasn't about you. This was never about you." OH, PLEASE!: Despite what Angelus says here, it is very much about Buffy. It's all about Buffy, no matter how much he may be denying it himself after the events of I Only Have Eyes For You. See 26KK and 31SSS.
33Hx6) "And you fall for it every single time!" CONTINUITY CHECK: "She did fall for the same thing in When She Was Bad."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59 See 13WW for other When She Was Bad/Becoming parallels.
OR DID SHE?: "Strangely enough, she didn't fall for anything. In When She Was Bad, the only previous instance, there was no other slayer to guard the Scooby Gang. This time Buffy had Kendra there (which Angelus didn't know). It was Angelus who was taking the chance. As Buffy said before she left, as long as 'Angel' was fighting her, he couldn't destroy the world. If Buffy had stayed and staked Angelus, it would have been over right then."--Sophist, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:24:05
33Ix6) "Night-night." SNAKY DRU: "Drusilla has been portrayed as very snake-like in her movements in this episode. Here her hypnosis technique seems to echo that of a cobra about to strike."--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02
PARALLEL DEATHS: "Dru's hypnotism and clinical killing of Kendra echo the Master's killing of Buffy in Prophecy Girl, (see 12DDD) but Kendra doesn't have a Xander to save her."--KdS, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:42:59
33Jx6) "So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are." MAIN THEME FROM "BECOMING": "The slow motion emphasizes the futility of Buffy’s run – she is already too late. It also slows down those last few moments before her life changes. It underscores Whistler’s words that we cannot prevent the major events in our lives, we have very little control over the external forces that shape us. However Whistler’s final lines offer a very Jossian type of hope – that we can choose how we react to these events, the only thing under our control is our own self."--ponygirl, Sat, 05/24/03 at 21:32:02
"The emphasis shifts [here] from Angel to Buffy. As Angel has been lost, it is Angelus who has made his choice, and it is a return to his self-pitying, self-destructive streak, only this time he's taking the world with him. Buffy's moment of becoming is in the future, and that is implied in Whistler's words."--MsGiles, Tues, 05/27/03 at 16:24:02
33Kx6) "Freeze!" EVIL ANGELUS: "Evidently Angelus called the cops so that they would arrive at Sunnydale's library at the perfect time to capture Buffy."--Farquarson, Formerly Rhys, Sat, 05/24/03 at 14:12:41
