Our show is gone, but our obsession doesn't end... (c) NY Times
Еще раз, и с чувством - Once More, With Feeling
Buffy Cast – Overture ~ Going Through the Motions
BUFFY
Every single night, the same arrangement.
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel the strange estrangement.
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
A vampire attacks and Buffy fights it while she sings.
BUFFY
I've been making shows of trading blows,
Just hoping no one knows
That I've been going through the motions,
Walking through the part.
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
She slams her stake through the vampire's heart. She turns and sees a horned demon and two vampires nearby. The vampires charge her and attack.
читать дальшеBUFFY
I was always brave and kind
of righteous. Now I find I'm wavering.
Crawl out of your grave, You'll find
this fight just Doesn't mean a thing.
She punches a vampire. He punches her back and knocks her to the ground.
VAMPIRE
She ain't got that swing.
BUFFY
Thanks for noticing.
The vampires and demon surround her, dancing. Buffy leaps to her feet and grabs a ceremonial sword in the grass nearby.
VAMPIRES/DEMON
She does pretty well with things from hell,
But lately we can tell
That she's just going through the motions.
Faking it somehow.
Buffy decapitates one vampire, kicks another away from her and stabs the demon in the gut.
DEMON
She's not even half the girl she... oww!
Buffy strides through the graveyard with the sword, approaches a tree and cuts the ropes binding a MAN to it, freeing him.
BUFFY
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
MAN
How can I repay you?
BUFFY
Whatever.
I don't want to be
Going through the motions,
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see If this is really me.
And I just wanna be alive!
Buffy Cast – I've Got a Theory ~ Bunnies ~ If We're Together
GILES
I've got a theory,
That it's a demon,
A dancing demon-
No, something isn't right there.
WILLOW
I've got a theory,
Some kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare.
XANDER
I've got a theory,
We should work this out.
XANDER, GILES, ANYA, WILLOW, TARA
It's getting eerie.
What's this cheery singing all about?
XANDER
It could be witches,
Some evil witches.
(off Willow's look)
Which is ridiculous,
'Cause witches, they were persecuted
Wicca good and love the earth
And women power and I'll be over here.
ANYA
I've got a theory,
It could be bunnies.
Silence. Crickets chirp, everyone stares at her.
TARA
I've got a theory-
ANYA
Bunnies aren't just cute
Like everybody supposes!
They got them hoppy legs
And twitchy little noses!
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need Such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies! Bunnies!
It must be bunnies!
(pyrotechnics; off everyone's stunned look) Or maybe midgets?
WILLOW
I've got a theory,
We should work this fast.
WILLOW & GILES
Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it's passed.
BUFFY
I've got a theory,
It doesn't matter.
What can't we face
if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse?
We've all been there.
The same old trips. Why should we care?
ALL
What can't we do if we get in it?
We're working through with every minute.
We have to try.
We'll pay the price.
It's do or die...
BUFFY
Hey, I've died twice.
ALL
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
There's nothing we can't face...
ANYA
...except for bunnies.
Amber Benson – Under Your Spell
TARA
I live my life in shadow,
Never the sun on my face.
It didn't seem so sad, though.
I figured that was my place.
Now I'm bathed in light.
Something just isn't right.
I'm under your spell.
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magick, I can tell
How you set me free,
Brought me out so easily.
I saw a world enchanted,
Spirits and charms in the air.
I always took for granted
I was the only one there.
But your power shone
Brighter than any I've known.
I'm under your spell.
Nothing I can do.
You just took my soul with you.
You worked your charm so well.
Finally I knew
Everything I dreamed was true.
You made me believe!
The moon to the tide,
I can feel you inside.
I'm under your spell.
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly.
I break with every swell.
Lost in ecstasy,
Spread beneath my willow tree.
You make me complete!
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me...
Emma Caulfield, Nicholas Brendon – I'll Never Tell
ANYA
This is the man
That I plan to entangle.
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle.
Vengeance was mine.
But I'm out of the biz.
The name I made I'll trade for his.
The only trouble is...
I'll never tell.
XANDER
She is the one,
She's such wonderful fun,
Such passion and grace.
Warm in the night
When I'm right in her tight-
Embrace! Tight embrace!
I'll never let her go.
The love we've known can only grow.
There's just one thing that- no.
I'll never tell.
XANDER & ANYA
'Cause there's nothing to tell.
ANYA
He snores.
XANDER
She wheezes.
ANYA
Say "housework" and he freezes.
XANDER
She eats these skeezy cheeses that I can't describe.
ANYA
I talk, he breezes.
XANDER
She doesn't know what pleases.
ANYA
His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe.
XANDER & ANYA
The vibe gets kind of scary.
XANDER
Like she thinks I'm ordinary.
ANYA
Like it's all just temporary.
XANDER
Like her toes are kind of hairy.
XANDER & ANYA
But it's all very well.
'Cause god knows I'll never tell.
ANYA
When things get rough he
Just hides behind his Buffy.
Now look he's gettin' huffy
'Cause he knows that I know.
XANDER
She clings,
she's needy,
She's also really greedy
She never-
ANYA
His eyes are beady!
XANDER
This is my verse! Hello? She-
ANYA
Look at me! I'm dancing crazy!
XANDER & ANYA
You know...
XANDER
You're quite the charmer.
ANYA
My knight in armor.
XANDER
You're the cutest of the Scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies.
And your firm yet supple-
Tight embrace!
ANYA
He's swell.
XANDER
She's sweller.
ANYA
He'll always be my feller.
XANDER
That's why I'll never tell her that I'm petrified.
ANYA
I've read this tale.
There's wedding then betrayal.
I know there'll come the day
I'll want to run and hide.
XANDER & ANYA
I lied,
I said it's easy.
I've tried but there's these fears I can't quell.
XANDER
Is she looking for a pot of gold?
ANYA
Will I look good when I've gotten old?
XANDER
Will our lives become too stressful
If I'm never that successful?
ANYA
When I get so worn and wrinkly
That I look like David Brinkley?
XANDER
Am I crazy?
ANYA
Am I dreamin'?
XANDER
Am I marrying a demon?
XANDER & ANYA
We could really raise the beam
In making marriage a hell!
So thank god I'll never tell.
I swear that I'll never tell.
XANDER
My lips are sealed.
ANYA
I take the fifth.
XANDER
Nothin' to see. Move it along.
XANDER & ANYA
I'll never... tell!
James Marsters – Rest in Peace
SPIKE
I died so many years ago.
You can make me
feel like it isn't so.
And why you come to be with me,
I think I finally know.
You're scared,
Ashamed of what you feel.
And you can't tell
The ones you love,
You know they couldn't deal.
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
It doesn't make it real.
That's great but I don't wanna play,
'Cause being with you touches me,
More than I can say.
And since I'm only dead to you,
I'm sayin' stay away.
And let me rest in peace.
Let me rest in peace,
let me get some sleep.
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six-foot deep.
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release.
So let me rest in peace.
You know you got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave.
Until you do, I'm tellin' you,
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace.
Pallbearers carry a coffin toward a graveside service. Buffy and Spike approach from the distance.
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more
Than you've ever guessed.
If my heart could beat,
It would break my chest.
But I can see you're unimpressed
Spike leaps onto the coffin as the pallbearers pass by.
So leave me be and
let me rest in peace,
Let me get some sleep.
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six-foot deep.
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release.
Let me rest in peace.
Spike lets his vampire rise to the surface as he scatters the mourners, tossing their chairs around and grabbing the priest by his vestments.
Buffy pulls him off the priest and they both tumble into the open grave. Buffy lands on top of Spike, face to face.
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
Buffy gets up out of the grave and runs off into the night.
Hinton Battle, Michelle Trachtenberg – What You Feel
SWEET
Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my... style?
He snaps his fingers and his cherry red zoot suit instantly changes to electric blue.
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a great big smile.
He pulls his mouth off his face and holds it out to her. The disembodied mouth continues singing.
I come from the imagination
And I'm here strictly by your invocation.
So what do you say-
Why don't we dance a while?
I'm the how to swing.
I'm the twist and shout.
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta let it out.
You call me and I come a-runnin'.
I turn the music on,
I bring the fun in.
Now we're partyin',
that's what it's all about.
Dawn stands up and matches Sweet's moves with her own, eventually dancing with him, ballroom style.
'Cause I know what you feel, girl.
I know just what you feel, girl.
DAWN
So you're like a good demon?
Bringing the fun in?
Sweet chuckles.
SWEET
All these melodies,
They go on too long.
Then that energy starts
To come on way too strong.
A door drops out of the ceiling and lands in the middle of the dance floor.
All those hearts lay open-
that must sting.
Plus some customers
Just start combusting.
Sweet opens the door and a charred and smoking corpse falls through. Dawn recoils in horror.
That's the penalty when life is but a song.
You brought me down into this town
So when we blow this scene,
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen.
Sweet waves his hand and Dawn's jeans and sweater turn into a silver ball gown.
'Cause I know what you feel, girl.
DAWN
No, you see,
you and me
Wouldn't be very regal.
SWEET
I'll make it real, girl.
DAWN
What I mean, I'm fifteen
So this queen thing's illegal.
SWEET
I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to
Get a soft-shoe in.
DAWN
Well, that's great but I'm late
And I'd hate to delay her.
SWEET
Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle.
I bought Nero his very first fiddle.
DAWN
She'll get pissed if I'm missed,
See my sister's the Slayer.
Sweet freezes mid-step.
SWEET
The Slayer?
DAWN
Uh-huh.
Sweet chuckles and turns to his minions.
SWEET
Find her.
Tell her... tell her anything.
Just get her here.
(to Dawn) I want to see the Slayer burn.
Anthony Stewart Head – Standing
Amber Benson, Anthony Stewart Head – Under Your Spell ~ Standing (Reprise)
GILES
You're not ready for the world outside.
You keep pretending
But you just can't hide.
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
But I...
You're path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
And you can meet it but you never will.
And I'm the reason that you're standing still.
But I...
I wish I could say the right words
To lead you through this land.
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand.
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand...
I'm standing in the way.
The cries around you, you don't hear at all.
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call.
So you just lie there
When you should be standing tall.
But I...
I wish I could lay your arms down
And let you rest at last.
Wish I could slay your demons
But now that time has passed.
Wish I could stay here,
Your stalwart standing fast.
But I'm standing in the way.
I'm just standing in the way.
TARA
I'm under your spell.
God, how can this be?
Playing with my memory.
You know I've been through hell.
Willow, don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me.
You made me believe.
GILES
Believe me, I don't want to go,
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so.
But we both know...
Wish I could say the right words
To lead you through this land.
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand.
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay.
TARA
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so.
But we both know...
Wish I could trust that
It was just this once
But I must do what I must.
I can't adjust to this disgust
We're done and I just
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay here.
Wish I could stay.
Buffy Cast – Walk Through the Fire
BUFFY
I touch the fire and it freezes me.
I look into it and it's black.
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel.
I want the fire back.
Now through the smoke, she calls to me.
To make my way across the flame.
To save the day or maybe melt away,
I guess it's all the same.
So I will walk through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it...
SPIKE
The torch I bear is scorching me.
Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt.
I hope she fries;
I'm free if that bitch dies.
gets up and follows her
I better help her out.
SWEET
'Cause she is drawn to the fire.
Some people never learn.
And she will walk through the fire
And let it...
SPIKE
She will never learn.
And she will walk through the fire
And let it...
GILES
Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
Is my Slayer too far gone to care?
XANDER
What if Buffy can't defeat it?
ANYA
Beady Eyes is right! We're needed.
Or we could just sit around and glare.
They all stand up and head for the door.
ALL
We'll see it through,
It's what we're always here to do.
So we will walk through the fire.
BUFFY
So one by one they turn from me.
I guess my friends can't face the cold.
But why I froze, not one among them knows
And never can be told.
TARA
What can't we face If we're together?
ANYA
She came from the grave much graver.
SWEET
So one by one, they come to me.
The distant redness as their guide.
That single flame
Ain't what they had in mind.
It's what they have inside.
SPIKE
First he'll kill her, then I'll save her.
TARA
Everything is turning out so wrong.
BUFFY
Going through the motions...
SPIKE
No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her!
WILLOW
I think this line's mostly filler.
GILES
What it going to take to strike a spark?
BUFFY
These endless days Are finally ending in a blaze.
SWEET
She will come to me!
ALL
And we are caught in the fire.
The point of no return.
So we will walk through the fire
And let it... burn.
Spike leaps the fence behind the Bronze.
ALL
Let it burn.
Buffy strides up to the front door.
ALL
Let it burn. Let it burn!
Buffy kicks the door and it splinters off its hinges and smashes to the floor.
SWEET
(chuckles) Show time...
Sarah Michelle Gellar, James Marsters – Something to Sing About
BUFFY
Life's a show
And we all play a part
And when the music starts,
We open up our hearts
Buffy shrugs out of her coat and takes note of the three dummy henchman arming themselves with pool cues in the shadows.
It's all right
If some things come out wrong.
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along.
The henchman attack and Buffy beats them back.
Where's there's life,
There's hope.
Everyday's A gift.
Wishes can Come true.
Whistle while You work.
So hard All day.
Giles and the gang arrive.
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world.
Don't give me songs.
GILES
She needs backup. Anya, Tara...
Anya and Tara run up behind Buffy and dance and sing backup for her.
BUFFY
Don't give me songs.
Give me something to sing about.
I need something to sing about.
Life's a song
You don't get to rehearse.
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse.
Still my friends
Don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for.
All the joy Life sends.
Family And friends.
All the twists And bends
Knowing that It ends.
Well that Depends...
On if they let you go,
On if they know enough to know
That when you bow
You leave the crowd.
Buffy mounts the stage. Sweet knows what's coming and smiles with a flourish of his hand.
There was no pain,
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of heaven.
Buffy turns to look at her friends whose faces register shock and dawning horror.
So that's my refrain.
I live in hell
'Cause I've been expelled
From heaven.
I think I was in heaven.
Willow takes a step backward as the enormity of what Buffy has revealed sinks in.
So give me something to sing about.
Please give me something!
SPIKE
Life's not a song.
Life isn't bliss.
Life is just this.
It's living.
You'll get along.
The pain that you feel
Only can heal
By living.
You have to go on living.
So that one of us is living.
Hinton Battle – What You Feel (Reprise)
SWEET
What a lot of fun.
You guys have been real swell.
And there's not a one
Who can say this ended well.
All those secrets you've been concealing,
Say you're happy now...
once more, with feeling.
Now I gotta run.
See you all in hell!
Buffy Cast – Where Do We Go From Here
DAWN
Where do we go from here?
ALL
Where do we go from here?
GILES
The battle's done
And we kind of won
GILES & TARA
So we sound our victory cheer.
Where do we go from here?
ANYA & XANDER
Why is the path unclear
When we know home is near?
ALL
Understand we'll go hand in hand
(everyone joins hands)
But we'll walk alone in fear.
(everyone breaks apart)
(Tell me) Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
Spike stops dancing and turns to leave.
SPIKE
Bugger this.
ALL
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close on a kiss not known,
We can tell the end is near.
Where do we go from here?
Sarah Michelle Gellar, James Marsters – Coda
BUFFY
I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into it and it's black
This isn't real but I just wanna
feel...
SPIKE
I died so many years ago
You can make me feel..
They move closer and closer until their lips are inches apart, then Buffy kissed Spike.
ALL
Where do we go from here?
