1
00:00:22,505 --> 00:00:25,543
What? Do I have funny
bed-hair or something?

2
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:27,423
Or something.

3
00:00:28,865 --> 00:00:34,099
I guess we got a little carried away
with the whole post-slayage nap thing.

4
00:00:36,665 --> 00:00:39,225
Not good.

5
00:00:39,305 --> 00:00:42,024
- Where you goin'?
- To go kill the cat on my head.

6
00:00:42,105 --> 00:00:44,096
No mirrors.

7
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:49,339
This place really isn't girl-friendly.
No mirrors, no natural light.

8
00:00:49,425 --> 00:00:53,896
- I think you look perfect.
- Yeah. I really look... OK.

9
00:00:57,625 --> 00:01:00,936
Maybe we should think about
getting a few mirrors.

10
00:01:01,785 --> 00:01:05,335
And maybe a drawer, you know,
for some of my stuff.

11
00:01:06,265 --> 00:01:10,259
Because that's what couples do.
They have drawers.

12
00:01:10,345 --> 00:01:12,382
That's right.

13
00:01:12,465 --> 00:01:16,254
You know, I figure that way
sometimes I can spend the night.

14
00:01:17,105 --> 00:01:21,338
Like after the prom,
it'd be nice to be able to just

15
00:01:21,425 --> 00:01:25,055
come back here
and spend some time together.

16
00:01:25,145 --> 00:01:27,375
The prom?

17
00:01:27,465 --> 00:01:29,934
End of high school, rite-of-passage thingy.

18
00:01:30,025 --> 00:01:33,063
Think cotillion with spiked punch
and electric slide.

19
00:01:33,145 --> 00:01:36,342
- Right.
- Don't worry, it's at night.

20
00:01:36,425 --> 00:01:38,860
And lots of girls have older boyfriends.

21
00:01:38,945 --> 00:01:40,936
You'll blend.

22
00:01:43,105 --> 00:01:45,381
I think maybe you should get goin', huh?

23
00:01:45,465 --> 00:01:48,856
No. There must be
a few more hours before sunrise.

24
00:01:54,425 --> 00:01:57,497
Sorry. I guess it's later than we thought.

25
00:02:57,625 --> 00:02:58,945
Xander.

26
00:02:59,025 --> 00:03:04,816
It's Demon Anya, punisher of evil males.
Still haven't got your powers back?

27
00:03:04,905 --> 00:03:09,695
- You haven't, right?
- No. I will, though. It's just a matter of time.

28
00:03:09,785 --> 00:03:14,018
So, how did that work? Women would wish
horrible things on their ex-boyfriends.

29
00:03:14,105 --> 00:03:16,858
- You'd show up and make it happen.
- That's right.

30
00:03:16,945 --> 00:03:20,381
The power of the wish made me
a righteous sword to smite the unfaithful.

31
00:03:20,465 --> 00:03:23,503
Well, good luck with that.
Hope it works out for you.

32
00:03:23,585 --> 00:03:28,182
You can laugh, but I have seen a millennium
of treachery and oppression from men,

33
00:03:28,265 --> 00:03:30,984
and I have only contempt
for the whole lot of them.

34
00:03:31,065 --> 00:03:33,454
Then why are you talkin' to me?

35
00:03:35,265 --> 00:03:37,825
I don't have a date for the prom.

36
00:03:37,905 --> 00:03:42,775
Well, gosh. I wonder why not? It couldn't
have anything to do with your sales pitch?

37
00:03:42,865 --> 00:03:45,618
Men are evil. Will you go with me?

38
00:03:45,705 --> 00:03:49,061
One of us is very confused,
and I honestly don't know which.

39
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:52,263
- This happens to be all your fault.
- My fault?

40
00:03:52,345 --> 00:03:57,055
You were unfaithful to Cordelia, so I posed
as a 12th-grader to tempt her with the wish.

41
00:03:57,145 --> 00:04:01,696
When I lost my powers, I got stuck in this
persona and now I have all these "feelings".

42
00:04:01,785 --> 00:04:06,734
I don't understand it. But I wanna go to this
dance and I want someone to go with me.

43
00:04:06,825 --> 00:04:08,862
Be still my heart.

44
00:04:08,945 --> 00:04:11,585
Wait. It is. How come I got the short straw?

45
00:04:11,665 --> 00:04:15,374
You're not quite as obnoxious
as most of the alpha males around here.

46
00:04:15,465 --> 00:04:18,378
- Plus you don't have a date.
- I haven't settled on anyone.

47
00:04:18,465 --> 00:04:23,335
Fine. I know you find me attractive.
I've seen you looking at my breasts.

48
00:04:23,425 --> 00:04:26,861
When a guy does that,
it just means his eyes are open.

49
00:04:26,945 --> 00:04:30,336
Whatever. Do you wanna go with me or not?

50
00:04:32,545 --> 00:04:35,105
Anya, huh? Interesting choice.

51
00:04:35,185 --> 00:04:38,223
"Choice" is kind of a broad term
for my situation.

52
00:04:38,305 --> 00:04:42,776
See, it's either Anya
or the sock puppet of love for this boy.

53
00:04:42,865 --> 00:04:47,098
I love you, Xander. I'll never leave you.

54
00:04:47,185 --> 00:04:50,621
If Anya tries to get you killed,
put me down for a big "I told you so".

55
00:04:50,705 --> 00:04:53,982
Who's this Anya? Is she prettier than me?

56
00:04:54,065 --> 00:04:57,456
She just better not try to cross me,
that's all I'm saying.

57
00:04:57,545 --> 00:04:59,695
At least we all have someone to go with now.

58
00:04:59,785 --> 00:05:03,824
Some of us will go with demons,
but I think that's a valid lifestyle choice.

59
00:05:03,905 --> 00:05:07,535
- More importantly, I have the kick dress.
- The pink one?

60
00:05:07,625 --> 00:05:09,536
Angel's gonna lose it.

61
00:05:09,625 --> 00:05:13,459
But not his soul.
I mean, he's gonna lose his... bit.

62
00:05:37,825 --> 00:05:40,294
- Mrs Summers.
- I'm sorry to...

63
00:05:40,385 --> 00:05:42,945
I would have called,
but I didn't have your number.

64
00:05:43,025 --> 00:05:45,414
Please. You're always welcome.

65
00:05:46,305 --> 00:05:49,775
My goodness. Your place is amazing.

66
00:05:49,865 --> 00:05:52,778
Yeah. I like a lot of space.
I don't get out much in the day.

67
00:05:52,865 --> 00:05:55,379
No. You wouldn't.

68
00:05:57,025 --> 00:05:59,460
Can I get you something?
I don't have any coffee.

69
00:05:59,545 --> 00:06:02,059
No, thank you.

70
00:06:02,145 --> 00:06:04,739
You don't drink? Beverages, I mean.

71
00:06:04,825 --> 00:06:08,580
No, I do. It's just the caffeine.
It makes me jittery.

72
00:06:12,465 --> 00:06:15,776
- I understand Buffy spent the night.
- I'm sorry about that.

73
00:06:15,865 --> 00:06:20,336
- We came back after patrolling...
- I'm not interested in the details.

74
00:06:21,345 --> 00:06:23,063
OK.

75
00:06:23,145 --> 00:06:26,536
I'm here because I'm worried
about you two, in general.

76
00:06:26,625 --> 00:06:29,822
What happened before, when I changed,
it won't happen again.

77
00:06:29,905 --> 00:06:32,977
That's not all I'm concerned about.

78
00:06:33,465 --> 00:06:37,015
I don't have to tell you that
you and Buffy are from different worlds.

79
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:38,778
No, you don't.

80
00:06:38,865 --> 00:06:42,824
She's had to deal with a lot. Grow up fast.

81
00:06:42,905 --> 00:06:46,785
Sometimes even I forget
that she's still just a girl.

82
00:06:46,865 --> 00:06:49,175
And I'm old enough to be her ancestor.

83
00:06:49,265 --> 00:06:52,303
She's just starting out in life.

84
00:06:52,385 --> 00:06:54,376
I know.

85
00:06:55,665 --> 00:07:00,023
I think about it more now
that she's staying in Sunnydale.

86
00:07:00,105 --> 00:07:01,743
Good.

87
00:07:01,825 --> 00:07:06,581
Because when it comes to you, Angel, she's
just like any other young woman in love.

88
00:07:06,665 --> 00:07:09,498
You're all she can see of tomorrow.

89
00:07:09,585 --> 00:07:13,101
But I think we both know
that there are some hard choices ahead.

90
00:07:13,185 --> 00:07:16,177
If she can't make them, you're gonna have to.

91
00:07:19,305 --> 00:07:21,455
I know you care about her.

92
00:07:21,545 --> 00:07:23,934
I just hope you care enough.

93
00:07:25,185 --> 00:07:28,621
- So it was blue and sort of short?
- Not too short. Medium.

94
00:07:28,705 --> 00:07:33,984
- And it had weird fringy stuff on its arms.
- What's that? A demon?

95
00:07:34,065 --> 00:07:38,059
A prom dress Will wants to get. Can't you
ever get your mind out of the Hellmouth?

96
00:07:38,145 --> 00:07:43,299
I'd be delighted to, but the Mayor's Ascension
is nearing and we don't know what to expect.

97
00:07:43,385 --> 00:07:48,334
What about the pages Will stole? She put her
life on the line. Don't tell me they're useless.

98
00:07:48,425 --> 00:07:53,625
Not at all. We know the Ascension refers
to a human transforming into a demon,

99
00:07:53,705 --> 00:07:56,015
into the living embodiment of an immortal.

100
00:07:56,105 --> 00:07:59,382
And Graduation Day, Mayor Wilkins
is scheduled to do just that.

101
00:07:59,465 --> 00:08:02,105
But we don't know
which demon he's going to become.

102
00:08:02,185 --> 00:08:04,495
There are thousands of species.

103
00:08:04,585 --> 00:08:09,295
So it's safe to say we shouldn't waste time
on such trifling matters as a school dance.

104
00:08:09,385 --> 00:08:13,219
That's too bad, because I bet
you would look way 007 in a tux.

105
00:08:16,385 --> 00:08:21,221
Except on the actual night, when I will be
aiding Mr Giles in his chaperoning duties.

106
00:08:21,305 --> 00:08:24,741
What? Excuse me? Fine, fine.

107
00:08:24,825 --> 00:08:27,339
We'll get you a dress.
We should check April Fools.

108
00:08:27,425 --> 00:08:30,383
Don't go there. I shop there.

109
00:08:30,905 --> 00:08:33,784
I am dipping into
my hard-earned road-trip fund,

110
00:08:33,865 --> 00:08:37,017
to procure a shiny new tux,
so look for me to dazzle.

111
00:08:37,105 --> 00:08:40,541
I shall wear pink taffeta, as chenille
will not go with my complexion.

112
00:08:40,625 --> 00:08:42,741
Can we please talk about the Ascension?

113
00:08:42,825 --> 00:08:45,783
Giles, we get it. Miles to go before we sleep.

114
00:08:45,865 --> 00:08:48,903
But especially if we're gonna
vaporise on Graduation Day,

115
00:08:48,985 --> 00:08:50,896
we deserve a little prommie fun.

116
00:08:50,985 --> 00:08:53,864
One night of glory - not too much to ask.

117
00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:23,861
Into this holy estate, these two persons
present now come to be joined.

118
00:09:23,945 --> 00:09:28,416
If any man can show just cause why they
should not be lawfully joined together,

119
00:09:28,545 --> 00:09:30,536
let him speak now...

120
00:10:42,745 --> 00:10:44,383
Angel?

121
00:11:07,385 --> 00:11:10,582
Patrol's not complete
without a trip to the stinky sewers.

122
00:11:10,665 --> 00:11:14,738
- I'm sure I saw him come down here.
- We could let this be the vamp that got away.

123
00:11:14,825 --> 00:11:18,534
- We could say he was this big.
- What can I say? I need closure.

124
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:21,734
You need clothes.
You don't have a tux, do you?

125
00:11:21,825 --> 00:11:24,499
Since when did patrolling go black tie?

126
00:11:24,585 --> 00:11:27,259
For the prom, silly.

127
00:11:27,345 --> 00:11:30,383
We have more important things
to think about than a dance.

128
00:11:30,465 --> 00:11:33,184
Sorry, Giles. I'll just be quiet.

129
00:11:33,265 --> 00:11:35,620
Come on. Don't be that way.

130
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:38,896
Not now.

131
00:11:40,185 --> 00:11:44,099
I'm not being "that way". Every time
I say the word "prom", you get grouchy.

132
00:11:44,185 --> 00:11:48,782
I'm sorry. I'm just worried that you're
getting too invested in this whole thing.

133
00:11:48,865 --> 00:11:52,904
What whole thing? Isn't this the stuff
that I'm supposed to get invested in?

134
00:11:52,985 --> 00:11:56,740
Going to a formal, graduating, growing up?

135
00:11:56,825 --> 00:11:58,816
I know.

136
00:12:00,745 --> 00:12:03,339
Then what? What's with the dire?

137
00:12:08,865 --> 00:12:10,856
It's...

138
00:12:11,865 --> 00:12:15,495
- It's nothing.
- No, you have "something" face.

139
00:12:16,625 --> 00:12:18,616
I think we need to talk.

140
00:12:19,785 --> 00:12:21,935
But not now, not here.

141
00:12:22,025 --> 00:12:25,495
No. No, if you have
something to say, then say it.

142
00:12:28,585 --> 00:12:31,976
Angel, drop the cryptic. You're scaring me.

143
00:12:33,905 --> 00:12:36,897
I've been thinking... about our future.

144
00:12:38,865 --> 00:12:41,903
And the more I do, the more I feel like "us",

145
00:12:41,985 --> 00:12:46,582
you and me being together... is unfair to you.

146
00:12:46,785 --> 00:12:49,095
Is this about what the Mayor said?

147
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:52,974
- Because he was just trying to shake us up.
- He was right.

148
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:56,456
No. No, he wasn't. He's the bad guy.

149
00:13:04,745 --> 00:13:07,305
You deserve more.

150
00:13:07,385 --> 00:13:11,299
You deserve something
outside of demons and darkness.

151
00:13:15,145 --> 00:13:18,740
You should be with someone
who can take you into the light.

152
00:13:19,985 --> 00:13:23,501
- Someone who can make love to you.
- I don't care about that.

153
00:13:23,585 --> 00:13:25,542
You will. And children...

154
00:13:25,625 --> 00:13:29,175
Children? Can you say
"jumping the gun"? I kill my goldfish.

155
00:13:29,265 --> 00:13:33,020
Today. But you have no idea
how fast it goes, Buffy.

156
00:13:33,105 --> 00:13:37,542
- Before long, you'll want it all. A normal life.
- I'll never have a normal life.

157
00:13:37,625 --> 00:13:40,504
Right. You'll always be a slayer.

158
00:13:40,585 --> 00:13:46,137
All the more reason why you should have a
real relationship instead of this freak show.

159
00:13:49,385 --> 00:13:52,855
- I didn't mean that.
- I'm gonna go.

160
00:13:53,785 --> 00:14:00,623
I'm sorry. Buffy, you know how much
I love you. It kills me to say this.

161
00:14:00,705 --> 00:14:04,221
Then don't. Who are you
to tell me what's right for me?

162
00:14:04,305 --> 00:14:08,503
- You think I haven't thought about this?
- Have you? Rationally?

163
00:14:08,585 --> 00:14:11,896
No, of course not. I'm just
some swoony little schoolgirl, right?

164
00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:16,661
I'm trying to do what's right. I'm trying
to think with my head instead of my heart.

165
00:14:16,745 --> 00:14:19,544
Heart? You have a heart?

166
00:14:19,625 --> 00:14:21,616
It isn't even beating.

167
00:14:23,985 --> 00:14:27,137
- Don't.
- Don't what? Don't love you?

168
00:14:27,225 --> 00:14:30,934
I'm sorry. You know what?
I didn't know that I got a choice in that.

169
00:14:31,025 --> 00:14:33,824
I'm never gonna change. I can't change.

170
00:14:37,385 --> 00:14:39,774
I want my life to be with you.

171
00:14:42,505 --> 00:14:44,337
I don't.

172
00:14:47,705 --> 00:14:50,094
You don't wanna be with me?

173
00:14:55,505 --> 00:14:59,055
I can't believe you're breaking up with me.

174
00:15:01,545 --> 00:15:03,934
It doesn't mean that I don't...

175
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:16,344
How am I supposed to stay away from you?

176
00:15:18,545 --> 00:15:20,741
I'm leaving.

177
00:15:22,105 --> 00:15:24,415
After the Ascension.

178
00:15:25,265 --> 00:15:28,496
After it's finished with the Mayor and Faith.

179
00:15:29,585 --> 00:15:31,974
If we survive, I'll go.

180
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:39,020
- Where?
- I don't know.

181
00:15:48,385 --> 00:15:51,059
Is this really happening?

182
00:16:32,305 --> 00:16:34,694
So, that's it?

183
00:16:35,785 --> 00:16:41,303
That's it. Assuming we survive this
Ascension thing, he's gonna leave town.

184
00:16:43,305 --> 00:16:45,694
Well, he's a fool.

185
00:16:45,785 --> 00:16:50,541
He's just a big, dumb
jerk-person, if you ask me.

186
00:16:50,625 --> 00:16:54,334
And he's a super-maxi jerk
for doing it right before the prom.

187
00:16:54,425 --> 00:16:56,621
That's not his fault.

188
00:16:56,705 --> 00:17:00,380
He's 243 years old.
He doesn't exactly get the prom.

189
00:17:01,545 --> 00:17:04,344
- But he should.
- Will, it's OK.

190
00:17:05,585 --> 00:17:08,657
You don't have to make him the bad guy.

191
00:17:08,745 --> 00:17:12,625
But that's the best friend's job.
Vilifying and grousing.

192
00:17:12,705 --> 00:17:14,696
Usually, yeah.

193
00:17:15,465 --> 00:17:17,695
But he's right.

194
00:17:17,785 --> 00:17:21,904
I mean, I think maybe
in the long run that he's right.

195
00:17:23,785 --> 00:17:26,743
Yeah. I think he is.

196
00:17:27,825 --> 00:17:30,738
I mean, I tried to hope for the best, but...

197
00:17:32,065 --> 00:17:35,183
I'm sorry. It must be horrible.

198
00:17:37,785 --> 00:17:40,618
I think "horrible" is still coming.

199
00:17:40,705 --> 00:17:42,696
Right now, it's worse.

200
00:17:44,025 --> 00:17:47,780
Right now, I'm just trying to keep from dying.

201
00:17:47,865 --> 00:17:49,856
Oh, Buffy.

202
00:17:52,265 --> 00:17:54,700
I can't breathe, Will.

203
00:17:54,785 --> 00:17:57,174
I feel like I can't breathe.

204
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:40,822
OK, how long does it take you
to buy a damn dress?

205
00:18:40,905 --> 00:18:42,623
Xander.

206
00:18:42,705 --> 00:18:46,380
I'm considering things
a little more carefully nowadays.

207
00:18:46,465 --> 00:18:49,298
I don't wanna get stuck with another dud.

208
00:18:49,385 --> 00:18:53,094
This should work for ya.
It positively screams "nympho".

209
00:18:53,185 --> 00:18:55,222
Is this a customer or a friend?

210
00:18:55,305 --> 00:18:58,058
Neither. Just stopped by
for my daily helping of bile.

211
00:18:58,145 --> 00:19:03,265
So you better get back to work and quit
goofing. Mrs Finkle so has it in for you.

212
00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:07,702
You work here?

213
00:19:07,785 --> 00:19:10,254
Yes. Yes, I work here.

214
00:19:10,865 --> 00:19:13,015
But... why?

215
00:19:14,025 --> 00:19:16,619
I'm trying to buy a dress.

216
00:19:16,705 --> 00:19:20,983
- But don't you already have all the dresses?
- I have nothing, OK?

217
00:19:21,065 --> 00:19:23,375
No dresses. No cellphone. No car.

218
00:19:23,465 --> 00:19:28,016
Everything has been taken away because
Daddy made a little mistake on his taxes

219
00:19:28,105 --> 00:19:30,699
for the last 12 years.

220
00:19:30,785 --> 00:19:34,141
Satisfied? Are you a happy Xander now?

221
00:19:34,225 --> 00:19:38,458
I'm broke. I can't go to any
of the colleges that accepted me,

222
00:19:38,545 --> 00:19:41,378
and I can't stay home
cos we no longer have one.

223
00:19:46,425 --> 00:19:51,101
Yeah. Neato. Now you can run along and tell
all of your friends how Cordy finally got hers.

224
00:19:51,185 --> 00:19:56,021
How she has to work part time
just to get a lousy prom dress on layaway.

225
00:19:56,105 --> 00:19:59,336
And how she has to wear a name tag.

226
00:19:59,425 --> 00:20:03,976
I'm a name-tag person. Don't leave that out.
The story wouldn't have the same punch.

227
00:20:33,625 --> 00:20:36,777
You say the creature just stopped?

228
00:20:36,865 --> 00:20:39,539
Yeah. Right there.

229
00:20:39,985 --> 00:20:43,341
It's like he just realised he forgot
to put money in the meter.

230
00:20:43,425 --> 00:20:46,941
The other part that totally weirded me out?
The thing had good taste.

231
00:20:47,025 --> 00:20:49,744
He chucked Xander
and went right for the formalwear.

232
00:20:49,825 --> 00:20:53,136
That's right. He left behind
his copy of <i>Monsters' Wear Daily.</i>

233
00:20:53,225 --> 00:20:56,581
I'm serious. Look at the outfit
that Xander's wearing.

234
00:20:56,665 --> 00:20:59,134
Now look at the kid
that the monster went after.

235
00:20:59,225 --> 00:21:03,378
Very smooth lines... till he was shredded.

236
00:21:03,785 --> 00:21:05,742
I don't wanna see it again.

237
00:21:05,825 --> 00:21:08,135
Buffy, it's horrible,

238
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:12,184
but if you're gonna hunt
this creature, you should study it.

239
00:21:12,265 --> 00:21:14,541
- I think I got it.
- She's right.

240
00:21:14,625 --> 00:21:18,664
I mean, you've seen one big, hairy
bringer of death, you've seen 'em all.

241
00:21:18,745 --> 00:21:22,215
Not really. If I'm not mistaken,
this is a Hell Hound.

242
00:21:22,745 --> 00:21:25,817
Yes. It's particularly vicious.

243
00:21:25,905 --> 00:21:31,457
It's a sort of a demon foot soldier
bred during the Makhash Wars.

244
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:36,983
Trained solely to kill.
They feed off the brains of their foes.

245
00:21:37,065 --> 00:21:39,136
Look. Right there. Zoom in on that.

246
00:21:39,225 --> 00:21:42,581
- It's a video tape.
- So? They do it on television all the time.

247
00:21:42,665 --> 00:21:47,501
- Not with a regular VCR they don't.
- Could we stay on the topic for once?

248
00:21:47,585 --> 00:21:50,145
What were you doing with Xander?

249
00:21:50,465 --> 00:21:52,456
What?

250
00:21:54,265 --> 00:21:57,144
- I was...
- Burning a hole in Daddy's wallet, as usual.

251
00:21:57,225 --> 00:22:00,138
I just bumped into her
during my tuxedo hunt.

252
00:22:01,545 --> 00:22:05,618
- What's that? Pause it.
- Guys! It's just a normal VCR. It doesn't...

253
00:22:06,745 --> 00:22:09,134
Wait. It can do "pause".

254
00:22:11,145 --> 00:22:13,102
Hello, Hell Hound raiser.

255
00:22:13,185 --> 00:22:15,620
Tucker Wells. He was in my chem lab.

256
00:22:18,425 --> 00:22:23,818
Let me guess. He was quiet, kept to himself,
but always seemed like a nice young man.

257
00:22:23,905 --> 00:22:29,298
He didn't seem the murderous type, anyway.
Something must have happened to him.

258
00:22:30,865 --> 00:22:32,936
How's it goin' over there, Buff?

259
00:22:34,145 --> 00:22:35,704
Fine.

260
00:22:35,785 --> 00:22:40,461
I just wanted to say that your impersonation
of an inanimate object is really coming along.

261
00:22:40,545 --> 00:22:42,536
Thanks.

262
00:22:43,425 --> 00:22:45,735
I got into Tucker's e-mail account.

263
00:22:49,665 --> 00:22:53,977
Listen to this message Tucker sent to
this kid, David Metz, at school last week.

264
00:22:54,065 --> 00:22:57,217
"The Sunnydale High lemmings
have no idea what awaits them."

265
00:22:57,305 --> 00:23:00,423
"Their big night will be their last night."

266
00:23:00,505 --> 00:23:04,135
So we have a threat against
the students on their big night.

267
00:23:04,225 --> 00:23:09,664
A Hell Hound trained
to attack people in formalwear.

268
00:23:09,745 --> 00:23:11,736
Are we all catching up now?

269
00:23:11,825 --> 00:23:14,783
This Tucker is planning
to attack the prom tonight.

270
00:23:14,865 --> 00:23:17,698
The Hellmouth puts
the "special" in "special occasion".

271
00:23:17,785 --> 00:23:20,982
Why do I even buy tickets
for these things, I ask you?

272
00:23:21,065 --> 00:23:23,136
I wonder if I can take my dress back.

273
00:23:23,425 --> 00:23:26,304
- Don't you dare.
- But Tucker's gonna...

274
00:23:26,385 --> 00:23:31,175
No. You guys are gonna have a prom.
The kind of prom that everyone should have.

275
00:23:32,225 --> 00:23:35,980
I'm gonna give you all
a nice, fun, normal evening,

276
00:23:36,065 --> 00:23:40,536
if I have to kill every single person
on the face of the earth to do it.

277
00:23:41,305 --> 00:23:43,182
Yay?

278
00:23:44,945 --> 00:23:49,064
Wes, you go to Tucker's house.
He's probably not there, but it's worth a shot.

279
00:23:49,145 --> 00:23:53,104
- All right. Perhaps strength in numbers...
- You can take Cordy.

280
00:23:53,185 --> 00:23:55,461
If that's your plan, all right.

281
00:23:55,545 --> 00:23:57,980
What about the others?

282
00:23:58,065 --> 00:24:01,695
Oz, you know this David kid.
Why don't you and Will track him down?

283
00:24:01,785 --> 00:24:04,857
- See what he knows if he's involved.
- We're on it.

284
00:24:05,185 --> 00:24:07,301
And could you two check the magic shop?

285
00:24:07,385 --> 00:24:10,423
- Magic shop?
- Yeah, it's next to the dress store on Main.

286
00:24:10,505 --> 00:24:13,258
I can swing that one. What's the mission?

287
00:24:13,345 --> 00:24:15,985
See if anyone's bought
supplies for a Hell Hound.

288
00:24:16,065 --> 00:24:20,138
Gotcha. Or see who's been
stocking up on Hell-Hound Snausages.

289
00:24:20,225 --> 00:24:23,536
I hear those pups'll do
anything for a tasty treat.

290
00:24:24,305 --> 00:24:27,980
Giles, you say this thing
eats brains. Any brains?

291
00:24:29,385 --> 00:24:33,140
- I suppose.
- Then Tucker must be feeding it, right?

292
00:24:33,425 --> 00:24:37,020
Yeah. This kid orders cow brains
a couple of times a week.

293
00:24:39,865 --> 00:24:42,379
It goes to this address.

294
00:24:42,465 --> 00:24:44,615
Good luck. That's a weird kid.

295
00:24:44,705 --> 00:24:46,696
Thanks. Thanks a lot.

296
00:25:04,945 --> 00:25:06,936
What are you doin' here?

297
00:25:07,945 --> 00:25:10,334
Hello to you, too.

298
00:25:10,425 --> 00:25:13,338
Sorry, I'm just surprised.

299
00:25:14,705 --> 00:25:17,902
Me, too. I don't know why, though.

300
00:25:17,985 --> 00:25:21,023
Where did I think
you get your blood, McPlasma's?

301
00:25:25,585 --> 00:25:30,056
- How are you?
- Right as rain. Whatever that means.

302
00:25:31,745 --> 00:25:36,899
Don't look at me like that. I can lie to you
if I want to now. We're "ex", remember?

303
00:25:36,985 --> 00:25:40,455
- If it means anything, I miss you.
- Can we not, please?

304
00:25:41,785 --> 00:25:46,063
When I think about us, I have
this tendency to sort of go catatonic,

305
00:25:46,145 --> 00:25:48,785
and I really can't afford to do that right now.

306
00:25:48,865 --> 00:25:52,460
I've got to stop a crazy
from pulling a Carrie at the prom.

307
00:25:52,545 --> 00:25:57,255
- You're still plannin' to go?
- Strictly in a chaperone capacity.

308
00:25:57,345 --> 00:26:01,578
But it's fine. I mean, I'm cool with going stag.

309
00:26:02,385 --> 00:26:06,583
I'm over the whole "Buffy gets
one perfect high-school moment" thing.

310
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:10,898
But I'm not gonna let some subhuman
ruin it for the rest of the senior class.

311
00:26:10,985 --> 00:26:13,625
- Let me help you.
- I'm OK.

312
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:17,141
- If you ever need my help...
- Look, I got it.

313
00:26:20,305 --> 00:26:22,615
Thanks.

314
00:26:34,705 --> 00:26:38,824
Hey. Don't forget your dress.
Aren't you wearing it tonight?

315
00:26:38,905 --> 00:26:42,739
As much as I hate to admit it,
I haven't finished paying for it yet.

316
00:26:42,825 --> 00:26:46,136
- Well, somebody did.
- What? Who?

317
00:26:56,745 --> 00:26:58,975
- Zeroes all around, Buff.
- Sorry.

318
00:26:59,065 --> 00:27:02,695
Make not with the long faces.
I got the address.

319
00:27:02,785 --> 00:27:07,416
The prom starts soon. You guys go on. I will
catch up as soon as I put a lid on this jerk.

320
00:27:07,505 --> 00:27:10,975
- What? No way.
- We can't just leave you, Buff.

321
00:27:11,065 --> 00:27:13,534
- They're right. You need...
- To see taillights.

322
00:27:13,625 --> 00:27:16,014
Hit the door. I have everything under control.

323
00:27:16,105 --> 00:27:20,463
- Buffy, it makes sense to...
- Have a nice time.

324
00:27:21,545 --> 00:27:23,536
- OK, then.
- See ya.

325
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:29,979
I want you at the gym.
Keep an eye on them till I get there.

326
00:27:30,825 --> 00:27:34,739
I don't have to tell you
you're being rather rash.

327
00:27:34,825 --> 00:27:38,022
Finding an address
hardly adds up to "case closed".

328
00:27:38,105 --> 00:27:42,019
Look, it's done. You wanna go after
them and tell them they can't go?

329
00:27:42,105 --> 00:27:45,143
That all their planning
and dreaming was for nothing?

330
00:27:45,225 --> 00:27:49,264
That they can't spend tonight
with their honeys, of all nights?

331
00:27:55,905 --> 00:27:58,294
Angel's not taking you, is he?

332
00:28:00,225 --> 00:28:03,536
Angel's leaving me. He's leaving town.

333
00:28:06,665 --> 00:28:09,020
Buffy, I'm sorry.

334
00:28:12,705 --> 00:28:15,060
I don't really know what to say.

335
00:28:15,145 --> 00:28:20,299
I understand that this sort of thing
requires... ice cream of some kind.

336
00:28:22,345 --> 00:28:24,461
Ice cream will come.

337
00:28:24,545 --> 00:28:26,695
First, I wanna take out psycho boy.

338
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:30,143
- Are you sure?
- The great thing about being a slayer?

339
00:28:30,225 --> 00:28:32,819
Kicking ass is comfort food.

340
00:28:49,305 --> 00:28:51,774
She wished her husband's head
would explode,

341
00:28:51,865 --> 00:28:56,223
which was great, except we were standing
three feet from him at the time. What a mess.

342
00:28:56,305 --> 00:28:59,855
Of course, during the plague,
it was always parts falling off.

343
00:28:59,945 --> 00:29:04,735
Well, that got pretty old.
The Renaissance, that was...

344
00:29:04,825 --> 00:29:07,180
I must say, this is all rather odd to me.

345
00:29:07,265 --> 00:29:11,384
Yes. Being in an all-male preparatory,
we didn't go in for this sort of thing.

346
00:29:11,465 --> 00:29:14,662
No, of course not.
Unless you count the nights

347
00:29:14,745 --> 00:29:18,454
you made the lowerclassmen
get up as girls and watch them.

348
00:29:20,945 --> 00:29:22,936
The dip is tasty, isn't it?

349
00:29:34,665 --> 00:29:36,781
The salsa's hot.

350
00:29:42,345 --> 00:29:44,336
Very hot.

351
00:30:08,225 --> 00:30:13,538
We got in. Maybe we should dance before
we get beseeched, bedevilled or beheaded.

352
00:30:13,625 --> 00:30:17,255
- It's not gonna happen.
- You're not even a little nervous?

353
00:30:17,345 --> 00:30:19,495
We think Buffy's gonna let us down?

354
00:30:19,585 --> 00:30:21,576
Wanna try some punch?

355
00:30:31,905 --> 00:30:34,624
May I say you look... smashing.

356
00:30:35,985 --> 00:30:37,976
It's a start.

357
00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:43,661
One time, a girl wished
that her ex would cannibalise himself.

358
00:30:43,745 --> 00:30:45,782
Even I had a hard time watching that one.

359
00:30:45,865 --> 00:30:49,745
Cordelia. Wesley.
My God in heaven, it's good to see you.

360
00:30:49,825 --> 00:30:52,658
How are you both? And details, please.

361
00:30:52,745 --> 00:30:55,180
- Very well, thank you.
- Yes, thank you.

362
00:30:56,625 --> 00:30:59,344
- It looks good on you.
- Well, duh!

363
00:31:33,265 --> 00:31:35,575
- You ready to go?
- Sorry. New plan.

364
00:31:36,945 --> 00:31:40,017
- The prom's a go, and you're pathetic.
- Maybe.

365
00:31:43,385 --> 00:31:45,103
Maybe not.

366
00:31:49,465 --> 00:31:53,823
So that's how you brainwashed
the hounds to go psycho on prom?

367
00:31:53,905 --> 00:31:56,215
- Neat, huh?
- I don't get it.

368
00:31:56,305 --> 00:31:59,855
What kind of sicko would destroy
the happiest night of a senior's life?

369
00:31:59,945 --> 00:32:01,743
I have my reasons.

370
00:32:01,825 --> 00:32:04,101
- Do you wanna go to the prom with me?
- No.

371
00:32:05,345 --> 00:32:07,939
Whatever. Every maladjust has his reasons.

372
00:32:08,025 --> 00:32:11,143
Luckily for me,
you're an incompetent maladjust.

373
00:32:15,985 --> 00:32:17,464
Up.

374
00:32:17,545 --> 00:32:21,982
OK. Now, I'm gonna lock you in here,
and then I'm gonna party like it's 19...

375
00:32:22,065 --> 00:32:26,741
Gotta have a redundancy system.
Any incompetent knows that.

376
00:32:27,785 --> 00:32:31,779
My three fiercest babies are
on their way to the dance right now.

377
00:32:31,865 --> 00:32:34,539
You think formalwear makes them crazy.

378
00:32:34,625 --> 00:32:37,094
Wait till they see the mirror ball.

379
00:32:56,105 --> 00:32:59,097
That's right. Follow Buffy. Good dogs.

380
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:15,816
Come on. That song sucks.

381
00:33:39,185 --> 00:33:40,903
Get back!

382
00:33:52,465 --> 00:33:54,456
Bath room?

383
00:33:58,865 --> 00:34:01,015
You're welcome.

384
00:35:01,025 --> 00:35:03,665
- Buffy, you look awesome.
- So do you.

385
00:35:04,865 --> 00:35:07,618
- Everything cool?
- Coolest. Devil dogs are history.

386
00:35:07,705 --> 00:35:09,855
- How's the prom?
- Strangely affecting.

387
00:35:09,945 --> 00:35:12,300
I teared up when
they played "We Are Family".

388
00:35:12,385 --> 00:35:14,456
Everything's perfect.

389
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:22,939
And the award for Sunnydale High's
Class Clown for 1999 goes to...

390
00:35:23,025 --> 00:35:25,539
Jack Mayhew.

391
00:35:31,145 --> 00:35:34,217
Please. Anybody can be a prop class clown.

392
00:35:35,105 --> 00:35:38,655
None of the people who vote
for these things are funny.

393
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:56,943
We have one more award to give out.

394
00:35:57,025 --> 00:35:59,460
Is Buffy Summers here tonight?

395
00:36:01,105 --> 00:36:03,745
Did she...

396
00:36:06,705 --> 00:36:08,696
This is actually a new category.

397
00:36:10,425 --> 00:36:15,579
It's the first time ever. I guess there
were a lot of write-in ballots, and...

398
00:36:15,665 --> 00:36:19,943
Well, the prom committee
asked me to read this.

399
00:36:23,985 --> 00:36:26,215
"We're not good friends."

400
00:36:26,305 --> 00:36:29,423
"Most of us never found
the time to get to know you,

401
00:36:29,505 --> 00:36:32,099
but that doesn't mean
we haven't noticed you."

402
00:36:32,185 --> 00:36:34,062
"We don't talk about it much,

403
00:36:34,145 --> 00:36:38,059
but it's no secret that Sunnydale High
isn't really like other high schools."

404
00:36:38,145 --> 00:36:40,261
"A lot of weird stuff happens here."

405
00:36:40,345 --> 00:36:42,177
- Zombies!
- Hyena people!

406
00:36:42,385 --> 00:36:44,376
Snyder!

407
00:36:47,865 --> 00:36:51,824
"But whenever there was a problem
or something creepy happened,

408
00:36:51,905 --> 00:36:54,260
you seemed to show up and stop it."

409
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:57,542
"Most of the people here
have been saved by you,

410
00:36:57,625 --> 00:36:59,935
or helped by you, at one time or another."

411
00:37:00,025 --> 00:37:02,539
"We're proud to say that the class of '99

412
00:37:02,625 --> 00:37:08,064
has the lowest mortality rate of any
graduating class in Sunnydale history."

413
00:37:14,305 --> 00:37:18,583
"And we know at least
part of that is because of you."

414
00:37:18,665 --> 00:37:24,855
"So the senior class offers its thanks
and gives you... this."

415
00:37:32,305 --> 00:37:35,457
It's from all of us, and it has written here:

416
00:37:36,345 --> 00:37:40,339
"Buffy Summers: Class Protector."

417
00:38:27,705 --> 00:38:29,696
Mr Giles?

418
00:38:32,545 --> 00:38:34,695
I'd like your opinion.

419
00:38:35,945 --> 00:38:41,145
Now, the last thing I wish to do is model bad
behaviour in front of impressionable youth.

420
00:38:41,225 --> 00:38:46,015
- I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance...
- For God's sake, man. She's 18.

421
00:38:47,265 --> 00:38:50,940
And you have the emotional maturity
of a blueberry scone.

422
00:38:51,025 --> 00:38:54,461
Just have at it, would you,
and stop fluttering about...

423
00:38:56,265 --> 00:38:58,700
Right then.

424
00:38:58,785 --> 00:39:00,776
Thanks for that.

425
00:39:27,945 --> 00:39:29,936
This isn't bad.

426
00:39:50,785 --> 00:39:53,174
You did good work tonight, Buffy.

427
00:39:54,025 --> 00:39:56,938
- And I got a little toy surprise.
- Yes.

428
00:39:57,585 --> 00:40:01,704
I had no idea that children
en masse could be gracious.

429
00:40:03,025 --> 00:40:05,699
Every now and then people surprise you.

430
00:40:07,345 --> 00:40:09,336
Every now and then.

431
00:40:42,945 --> 00:40:45,095
I never thought you'd come.

432
00:40:45,185 --> 00:40:47,984
It's a big night. I didn't wanna miss it.

433
00:40:51,665 --> 00:40:55,260
- It's just tonight. It doesn't mean that I...
- I know.

434
00:40:56,425 --> 00:40:58,655
I mean, I understand.

435
00:41:02,025 --> 00:41:04,414
Will you dance with me?

436
00:42:00,065 --> 00:42:02,978
