2 Hellmouth On Her Mind

DOCTOR
Her mind is clearer now.
At last we can hope she will see that her dreams cannot be.
If we strip away the stakes from the girl,
She will see that her dreams cannot be.
Buffy!
Six years now you have lived
In fantasies unreal.
You really do believe
That Sunnydale is real.
Despite the good you do -
The world you save each day -
You've begun to have doubts about the role you play.

Listen Buffy I don't see what you see;
I'm just asking that you listen to me.
Please believe me, I've been on your case here all along.
You have made a world entire
In which you play a blonde Messiah.
I can free you if you'll just be strong.

I remember when this whole case began.
No talk of gods then, just you and a man.
And believe me, my dedication to you hasn't slacked.
But every dream you dream today
Will fall apart in some new way.
Someday soon there will be no way back.

Sunnydale, your vampire slayer really needs to come back home
Go to college, have a life
Be someone's wife.
Make-up, clothes, and her own car would have suited Buffy more.
No-one here would cause her harm, nothing alarm.

Listen Buffy, and remember your life,
Back before you invented this strife.
You were happy then; you have forgotten the young girl you were.
I am frightened by your eyes;
To keep dreaming is unwise.
And we'll lose you if you sink too far.

Listen Buffy, to the warning I give.
Please remember that I want you to live.
But it's sad to see your chances weakening with every hour.
For your old dream is now a bind,
Too much Hellmouth on your mind.
It was fantasy and now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour......

3 Where've You Been?

SCOOBIES
Where've you been? Tell us what you're feeling.

BUFFY
Why do you want to know?
Don't you mind about the hell-plains.
Don't you try to think too much.
Save the afterlife for after.
For today is bad enough.

SCOOBIES
Where've you been? Tell us what you're feeling.

BUFFY
I can't tell you thoughts and feelings.
I can't show you plans and dreams.
If I told you what I'm thinking...

SCOOBIES
When do we fight the next big bad?

BUFFY
Why should you want to know?
Why are you obsessed with fighting?
It's a fate I can't defy...
If you knew of death what I do,
You'd feel like fighting less than I.

SCOOBIES
Where've you been? Tell us what you're feeling.

SPIKE
Let me try to help you get over it.

BUFFY
That feels nice, so nice....
Spike, don't tell a soul!
While they stumble through their geek lives -
Hack and buy and steal and sigh -
He alone can understand me
He knows what it's like to die.

SCOOBIES
Where've you been? Tell us what you're feeling.

4 Symptom Mystifying

DOCTOR
It seems to me a symptom mystifying
That a girl like you could waste your time on vampires and the like.
Yes, I can understand that he amuses,
But to let him stroke you, kiss your hair, and then to name him Spike...

It's not that I object to your obsession,
So he's a refugee from hell, like ones you stake each day.
But your world is getting inconsistent,
You really need a doctor's help - your mind has gone astray.

BUFFY
Who are you to criticize him?
Who are you to despise him?
Drop it, leave it, let him be now.
Drop it, leave it, he's with me now.
If your world is real, then you can throw stones.
But your world's the dream, so leave us alone.

I'm amazed that loser Warren thinks I'm shallow, blonde and slow.
There is not a demon here who can fool me with this doctor show.

HOSPITAL STAFF
No, you're wrong! You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong, You're very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that!?

BUFFY
Not one, not one of you!

5 Everything's OK

SPIKE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's OK, yes, everything's fine,
And I want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If they try, they'll get by, so forget all about them tonight.

SCOOBIES
Everything's OK, yes, everything's OK, yes.

SPIKE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm down, let me near you...
Cure for what ails you, I know...
Then you'll feel
Everything's OK, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, nobody knows, love
'Bout the feelings even you deny.
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight.

SCOOBIES
Everything's OK, yes, everything's OK, yes.

DOCTOR
Buffy your blond vampire, so tall and devoted
Is just a waste of your time.
Why do you keep dreaming? You could have met real boys
Three hundred lost weekends or more.
People who are real, parents who so miss you
They matter more than his platinum hair.

SPIKE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's OK, yes, everything's fine,
And I want you to sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without you tonight.
If they try, they'll get by, so forget all about them tonight.

SCOOBIES
Everything's OK, yes, everything's OK, yes.

BUFFY (to DOCTOR)
Surely you're not saying you need a mad Slayer
There in your vampireless world?
Sunnydale still needs me, and Sunnydale wants me
Look at the nice stakes I hurl...
Why do you annoy me?
So what if you're real?
They'll be lost, they'll be so sorry if I'm not.

SPIKE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm down, let me near you...
Cure for what ails you, I know...
Then you'll feel
Everything's OK, yes, everything's fine.
And it's cool, nobody knows, love
'Bout the feelings even you deny.
Close your eyes, close your eyes...

SCOOBIES
Everything's OK, yes, everything's OK, yes......

6 The Slayer Must Die

ANDREW
Good Jonathan, the Legion waits for you.
The flying monkeys assembled here for you.

JONATHAN
Ah, gentlemen, you know why we are here.
We've not much time, and quite a problem here.

TOWNIES (outside)
Hey Slayer! Supergirl!
Hey Slayer! Supergirl!

WARREN
Listen to the howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with vampires, and the whole town's on its feet.

GEEKS (inside)
She is dangerous!

TOWNIES (outside)
Buffy Anne...Supergirl!

GEEKS (inside)
She is dangerous!

TOWNIES (outside)
Tell us that you're who we say you are!

WARREN
The girl is downtown right now to whip up some support -

JONATHAN
A rabble-rousing mission that I think we should abort.

GEEKS (inside)
She is dangerous!

TOWNIES (outside)
Buffy Anne, supergirl!

GEEKS (inside)
She is dangerous!

WARREN
Look Jonathan - they're right outside our yard!

ANDREW
Quick Jonathan - summon the demon guard!

WARREN
No wait!
We need a more permanent solution to our problem.

JONATHAN
What then to do about Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Miracle wondergirl, hero of fools?

ANDREW
No riots, no monkeys, no shotguns, no slogans.....

JONATHAN
One thing I'll say for her - Buffy is cool.

WARREN
We dare not leave her to her own devices.
Our half-witted plans will be foiled every time.

ANDREW
But how can we stop her? Her power defeats us -
The Slayer's a menace to our life of crime.

JONATHAN
I see bad things arising.
A new Armageddon beyond every turn.
I see blood and destruction,
Our elimination because of one girl.

Blood and destruction because of one girl.

GEEKS (inside)
Because, because, because of one girl.

JONATHAN
Our elimination because of one girl.

GEEKS (inside)
Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one girl.

ANDREW
What then to do about this Buffy Summers?

JONATHAN
What can we do when she just won't stay dead?

ANDREW
Where do we start with a girl who is bigger
Than Jesus when he did his rise-again thing?

WARREN
Fools! You have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high.
We must crush her completely,
Like Kendra before her, the Slayer must die.
For the sake of the Hellmouth, the Slayer must die.

GEEKS (inside)
Must die, must die, the Slayer must die.

WARREN
Like Kendra before her, the Slayer must die.

GEEKS (inside)
Must die, must die, the Slayer must, Slayer must, Slayer must die!

7 Hey, Slayer

VOICES
Hey Slayer, Yo Slayer, Slayer Slayer Yo
Slayer Hey Slayer Yo Slayer
Hey Buffy, Buffy won't you smile for me?
Slayer Yo Slayer Hey Supergirl

DOCTOR
Tell the voices to be quiet, in your mind they're running riot.
This phantom crowd is much too loud.
Tell the ones who sing your song that they are dreams you won't dream long.
They are your curse. Make them disperse.

VOICES
Yo Slayer, Hey Slayer, Slayer Slayer Yo
Slayer Hey Slayer Yo Slayer
Hey Buffy, Buffy you seem sane to me.
Slayer Yo Slayer Hey Supergirl

BUFFY (to DOCTOR)
Why waste your breath trying to help me?
Nothing can be done to stop the voices.
When everything is still, it starts with just a whisper,
Till these white walls themselves begin to sing:

VOICES and BUFFY
Yo Slayer, Hey Slayer, Slayer Slayer Yo
Slayer Hey Slayer Yo Slayer
Hey Buffy, Buffy, won't you fight for me?
Slayer Yo Slayer Hey Supergirl

BUFFY (to VOICES)
Sing me your songs, but not for me alone.
Sing them for yourselves if you are real...
There is not one of you who cannot beat the bad guys:
The Key, ex-demons, the quick and the dead.

VOICES and BUFFY
Yo Slayer, Hey Slayer, Slayer Slayer Yo
Slayer Hey Slayer Yo Slayer
Hey Buffy, Buffy did you die for me?
Slayer Yo Slayer Hey Supergirl

8 Anyanka Vindex

TOWNIES
Slayer you know I need you
Risen from the grave -
I believe in you and Giles
So tell me that I'm safe.

Slayer you know I need you.
Risen from the grave -
I believe in you and Giles
So tell me that I'm safe.

Buffy we are with you.
Help us, help us, Buffy.
Buffy we are on your side.
Save us, save us, Buffy.

ANYA
Buffy, what more do you need to convince you
That you've made it, and you're easily as strong
As the demon scum who haunt our city,
And who've terrorized us Scoobies for so long?

TOWNIES
Slayer you know I need you
Risen from the grave -
I believe in you and Giles
So tell me that I'm safe.

Slayer you know I need you
Risen from the grave -
I believe in you and Giles
So tell me that I'm safe.

Buffy we are with you.
Help us, help us, Buffy.

ANYA
There must be over fifty thousand
Screaming love and more for you.
Every one of fifty thousand
Would buy whatever you asked them to.
Keep them yelling their devotion,
But add a hint of merchandise.
You will rise to a greater income.
You will pay off your old home.
You'll get the money and the glory,
Forever and ever and ever.
Forever and ever and ever...

9 Hellmouth Sunnydale

BUFFY
Neither you, Willow, nor the other Scoobies,
Nor the demons, nor the geeks,
Nor Riley, nor poor Spike,
Nor the Council, nor old Giles,
Nor Hellmouth Sunnydale itself,
Understand what power is,
Understand what Glory is,
Understand at all.....
Understand at all.

If you knew all that I knew, my Hellmouth, Sunnydale,
You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes...
But you close your eyes.
While I live your troubles are many, Hellmouth, Sunnydale.
To conquer death, I only had to die....
I only had to die.

10 Ben's Dream

BEN
I dreamed I met a Californian,
A most amazing girl.
She had that look you very rarely find,
The haunted, hunting kind.

I asked her to say what had happened,
How it all began
I asked again - she never said a word,
As if she hadn't heard.

And next, the streets were full of wild and undead men.
They seemed to hate this girl.
They fell on her, and then,
They disappeared again.

Then I saw all of the Scoobies
Crying for this girl
And then I heard then mentioning my name,
And leaving me the blame.

11 The Bronze

STUDENTS and TOWNIES
Strike the band, for the cover's down.
Here we sell the best beer in town.
Take your pick of the single boys
Come on in and don't mind the noise.

Strike the band, for the cover's down.
Here we sell the best beer in town.
Take your pick of the single boys
Come on in and don't mind the noise.

SPIKE
Won't you dance? You'll get in the swing.
Take a chance - your loser friends aren't here
I'm your guy, though it's just a fling.
Get your nose out of that beer.

BUFFY
My duty has been to be the Slayer,
But you would turn me into a thing.
Go away! Go away!

When will it all be through?
How much left to do?
After all, I've tried for six years
Seems like sixty...seems like sixty.

STUDENTS and TOWNIES
See that vamp, can you stake him quick?
Slay a demon with a candlestick.
I believe you will save the town.
When you do, you will win renown.

See my fur, I'm a werewolf boy.
See my fangs, I'm a hungry vamp.
I believe you can make me well.
Save my soul, I'm a poor, poor vamp.

Will you touch, will you love him now?
Won't you touch, won't you stake him now?
Will you kiss, do you kiss him now?!
Won't you kiss, won't you slay him now?

BUFFY
There's too many of them...I slay them.
There's too little of me...he loves me.
Slay yourselves!

12 Everything's Still OK

SPIKE
Try not to get worried. Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's OK, yes, everything's fine.

BUFFY
And I think I shall sleep well tonight.
Let the world turn without me tonight.

SPIKE
Close your eyes. Close your eyes,
And forget all about them tonight.

13 I Don't Know How To Love Her

SPIKE
I don't know how to love her,
What to do, how to move her.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few years, when I've seen myself,
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why she moves me.
She's a bint. A Slayer too.
And I've killed a few of them before;
In very many ways,
She's just one more.

Should I bring her down?
Should I bite her throat?
Let her mock my love,
Let her get my goat?
I never thought I'd come to this.
It's turned all about...

Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no Slayer's fool.
Running every town.
It's turned around.

I never thought I'd come to this.
I'm turned all around...

Yet, if she said she loved me,
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my face. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
She scares me so.
I want her so.
I love her so.

14 Crazy As She Is

DOCTOR
Now if you help me, it matters that you see
This reverse psychology is hard for me.
It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you.
I had no thought of my own reward.
Talking to her voices is my last resort.
Just don't say I'm crazy as she is.

I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw.
Buffy can't control them like she did before.
And furthermore I know that Buffy thinks so too.
Buffy wouldn't mind that I'm talking to you.
I had no thought at all about my own reward.
Talking to her voices is my last resort.
Just don't say I'm crazy as she is.

Warren, you're a scientist, a worldly man and wise.
Even though you're not real I know you sympathize.
Why are we the leaders? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done?
I had no thought at all about my own reward.
Talking to her voices is my last resort.
Just don't say I'm crazy as she is.

WARREN
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses.
We need information. Get up off the floor.

JONATHAN
We have the spells that we need to dispatch her.
You know her weakness. We know the score.

WARREN
Your help in the matter won't go unrewarded.

JONATHAN
We'll pay you in diamonds, cash on the nail.
We just need to know how the demons can stop her...

WARREN
With no Scoobies to save her....

JONATHAN
Then we can't fail.

15 Dream Diamonds

DOCTOR
I don't need your dream diamonds!

JONATHAN
Oh, that doesn't matter, expenses are good.

DOCTOR
I don't want your dream diamonds!

WARREN
But you might as well take them - we think that you should.

JONATHAN
Think of the things you could do with the diamonds,
Spruce up your hospital - build a new wing.
We've noted your motives. We've noted your feelings.
These aren't dream diamonds - they're as ...

WARREN
as real......

JONATHAN
As real as you are.

DOCTOR
When Glory's plan to find her hell dimension
Failed, Buffy died and woke up in my institution.

NURSES
Well done Doctor.
Good old Doctor...

16 The Last Season

SCOOBIES
Look at all her episodes and seasons
Blending to a subtle shade of grey.
Don't disturb her now, she can see the future
Now this season is last season gone astray.

Always hoped that I would be a Scoobie.
Knew that I could make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write some fanfic,
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.

BUFFY
The end?
It's never really over - it comes around again.
For all you know, we've done all this before.
For all you know, we'll do it all again.
The end!
We've done all this before.
We'll do it all again.
If you could remember not to do it again.

I must be mad thinking you will remember, yes,
I must be out of my head.
Look at your blank faces. You will have forgotten
Ten minutes after I'm dead.
One of you raises me.
One of you betrays me.

SCOOBIES
No! Who could?! Impossible!

BUFFY
Glory will destroy me in just a few hours,
Come Armageddon,
And that's not all I see.
After my sweet dying,
One of my dear scoobies
Will resurrect me.

XANDER
Buff, I don't get it - Dawn is the key, not you.

BUFFY
Warren must have done it...

XANDER
Is Glory Ben, too?

BUFFY
...turned back the clock again.

XANDER
If Will resurrects you...

BUFFY
Please don't let her do it!

XANDER
To think Glory is Ben!
Hold on, is Glory Ben?

BUFFY
It's karma - it's hopeless.

XANDER
You want her to do it!
What if we just hid here
Avoided her mad minions
Buff, we can do it!

BUFFY
Can't fight the show. Hurry, let's go.
Save me your questions, I don't really know. Go! Go!

SCOOBIES
Look at all our episodes and seasons
Blending to a subtle shade of grey.
Don't disturb us now, we can't see the future
Now this season is last season gone astray.

Always hoped that I would be a Scoobie.
Knew that I could make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write some fanfic,
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.

DOCTOR
You sad, neurotic girl, see where you've brought me to.
My ideals die around me, all because of you.
And the saddest cut of all:
That I had to drag them in,
Sic three common criminals at this wounded animal.
A jaded paladin
A jaded paladin
A jaded, faded, jaded, faded, jaded paladin.

BUFFY
Shut up now, I'm going!
Look I'm going!
Glory's waiting for me!

DOCTOR
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let this fantasy get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better without your head in the sand....

SCOOBIES
Look at all her episodes and seasons
Blending to a subtle shade of grey.
Don't disturb her now, she can see the future
Now this season is last season gone astray.

Always hoped that I would be a Scoobie.
Knew that I could make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write some fanfic,
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.


BUFFY
Will no one toss a stake with me?
Willow? Spike? Giles?
Will none of you rescue me?
Willow? Spike? Giles?

17 Institution

BUFFY
I only want to say,
If there is a way,
Take this dream away from me.
For I don't want to taste its sweetness,
Feel it lure me.
I have changed.
I'm not as sure, as when I started.
Then, I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
Listen, surely, I've exceeded expectations,
Tried for six years, seems like sixty.
Could you ask as much from any other girl?

But if I quit,
Follow your prescription, do the things you ask of me,
Let them cut me, bleed me, use me, toss me from their tower,
I'd want to know, I'd want to know, Doctor,
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, Doctor,
Why I should die.
Would I be more happy than I ever was before?
Would the things I say and do matter in your world?
I have to know, I have to know, Doctor,
I'd have to see, I'd have to see, Doctor,
If I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know, I'd have to know Doctor
Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me - can you prove that it is better to be sane?
Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die
You're far to keen and where and how, and not so hot on why.
OK, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!


Then, I was inspired.
Now, I'm sad and tired.
After all, I've tried for six years, seems like sixty.
Why then am I scared to finish, what I've started....
What Giles started - I didn't start it!
Doc, your cure is hard,
But you hold every card.
I will drink your cup of poison.
Tie me to the tower and break me.
Bleed me, beat me, kill me
Take me now...before I change my mind.

18 The Arrest

DOCTOR
There she is! They're all asleep -- the Scoobies.

BUFFY
Doctor, must you chase me in my dreams?

WILLOW
Where've you been?
Tell me what you're feeling.

WILLOW and SCOOBIES
Where've you been?
Tell me what you're feeling.
Hang on Buff,
We're going to fight for you!

BUFFY
Put away your stake -
Don't you know that it's all over?
It was nice, but now it's done.
Why are you obsessed with fighting?
Stick to hacking from now on.

MADMEN
Tell me Slayer how you feel tonight.
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?
Do you think you may retire?
Did you think you'd put out this fire?
How do you view your coming trial?
Have your friends proved at all worthwhile?

Come with us to see Glory!
You'll just love her munificence.
You'll just love seeing Glory!
You'll just die for her magnificence.

Come on Slayer this is not like you.
Let us know what you're going to do.
You know what your supporters feel;
You'll escape in the final reel.

Tell me Slayer how you feel tonight.
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?

Come with us to see Glory!
You'll just love her munificence.
You'll just love seeing Glory!
You'll just die for her magnificence.

Now we have her!
Now we've got her!

JONATHAN
Buffy, you must realize the serious changes facing you.
You say we're a figment of your dreams
Well, is it true?

BUFFY
That's what you want me to think.

WARREN
There you have it gentlemen.
What more insults do we need?
Doctor, thank you for the victim.
Stay a while and you'll see her bleed!

MADMEN
Now we have her!
Now we have got her!
Take her to Glory! Take her to Glory!

19 Willow's Denial

DAWN
I think I can remember.
I remember.
You had the Urn of Osiris.
And blood upon your face.

WILLOW
You've got the wrong witch, Dawny.
I can't do that,
And I wouldn't do it if I could -
I'd never even dare.

DEMON
That's strange, for I am sure I remember too.
I was the snake in your side, and yet you deny it?

WILLOW
I tell you I could never resurrect her!

XANDER
But I recall too. I swear it was you.

WILLOW
I won't do it!

SPIKE
Willow, don't you know what you have said?
You can't just leave her dead.

WILLOW
I'll have to do it, don't you see?
I can't just leave her be.

SPIKE
It's what she told us you would do.
I wonder how she knew.

20 Ben and Buffy

BEN
Who is this broken girl chained up in my hallway?
Who is this unfortunate?

DEMON
Buffy Anne, Slayer of Vamps.

BEN
Oh, so you are the Slayer, I think that I remember.
You looked so small
Not a hero at all.
Much as I would like to save
You from your fate, Glory awaits.

BUFFY
It's still your choice.

BEN
What do you mean by that?
I have no choice here.
We're both in trouble friend.
Glory is running this show.

How can someone in you state be so cool about her fate?
You've got some grit - the Slayer bit.
I'm a medical student, not a demon-god's servant.
You're Glory's key! Get away from me!

MADMEN
Yo Slayer, Hey Slayer, Slayer Slayer Yo
Slayer Hey Slayer Yo and how
Hey Buffy, Buffy please explain to me?
You had everything. Where is it now?

21 Hellgod's Song

GLORY
Buffy, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
You seem to have quite a name all around the place.
Staking vampires, rising from the dead.
Oh wait, that hasn't happened yet,
And now, it never will.

So, you are the Slayer, you're the great Vampire Slayer.
Seems to me we're met before; if I recall, you were a bore.
Just give me the Key and the rest can go free.
Come on, Buffy my girl.

Buffy, you just won't believe the pain you've caused a goddess.
You're all my demons talk about, the blonde in a bad dress.
Oh what a pity that you have to die.
Still, I'm sure that you can get to heaven if you try.

So, you are the Slayer, you're the great Vampire Slayer.
Prove to me that you're so cool; stop my being awfully cruel.
If you give me the Key, then I'll let you go free.
Come on, Buffy my girl.

I only ask things I'd ask any supergirl.
What is it that you have got that makes you think you'll win?
I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan.
I'm dying to be shown that you are not some tired has-been.

So, if you are the Slayer, yes, the great Vampire Slayer
Break the chains that keep you here, shuffle off this mortal sphere...
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
Come on, Buffy my girl!

Hey! Aren't you scared of me girl? Little Wonderwoman?
You're a joke. You're not the Slayer. You mortals haven't got a prayer.
Take her away. She's got nothing to say!
Get out you useless mortal!
Get out of my life!

22 Could We Hit Reset Please?

SPIKE
I've been living to see her.
Dying when she did, but I can't take it again.
This is unexpected. What can I do now?
Could we hit reset please?

I've been very hopeful so far.
Now we've backed up to when things were going wrong.
Hurry up and tell me this is just a dream.
Could we hit reset please?

WILLOW
I think she's made her point now.

SPIKE
She's even gone a bit too far to get the message home.

WILLOW
Before it gets too frightening, we ought to call a halt.
So could we hit reset please?

SPIKE
Could we hit reset, please?

WILLOW
I've been living to see her.
Dying when she did, but I can't take it again.
This is unexpected. What do I do now?
Could we hit reset please?

23 Doctor's Resignation

DOCTOR
My God! I saw her - she looked three-quarters dead!
And she was so bad I had to turn my head.
Glory beat her so hard that she was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe she knows I acted for her good.
I'd spare her all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe, for her good
And I'd spare her, if I could!

WARREN
Cut the confessions. Forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you want has come true with a vengeance.
The madmen have seized her. You backed the right horse.

JONATHAN
What you have done will be the saving of Sunnydale.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages just to reminisce.

DOCTOR
Slayer, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what was best for you.
Slayer, I'm madder than you are,
For I have slipped into this dreamland like you.

I can see Dawn bleeding innocent blood.
I see the vamps and the slime and the crud.
I can see Dawn bleeding innocent blood.
I see the vamps and the slime and the slime and the slime and the crud!

I don't know how to treat her.
I don't know why she moves me.
She is mad. She's only mad.
She is not the Slayer. She is just the same
As any patient here.
What do I fear?

When she's cold and dead will they let her be?
Can she save me too? Does she care for me?

My mind is in darkness now.
Help, Nurse, I am sick. I've been used.
And they knew, all the time.
Warren, I will never know why you chose me...
For your bloody crime...your foul bloody crime.
You have driven me, driven me, driven me,
Driven me, driven me mad...

NURSES
Poor old Doctor.
Lock up Doctor.

24 Glory is Ben

BEN
And so the Slayer is once again my guest.
And why is this? Was Glory unimpressed?

DEMON
Her munificence is weakening apace
So turn the key that opens hellgod space.
She needs her sacrificed. It's all you have to do.
She needs her sacrificed. Immortal life for you...

BEN
Talk to me Buffy Anne.
You have been brought here
Manacled and beaten by your dream demons.
Do you have the faintest idea why you do it?
Listen vampire slayer,
Where is Sunnydale?
Look at me. Am I a god?

BUFFY
She has no body in this world but you.

MADMEN
Talk to me Buffy Anne...

BUFFY
There may be normal life for me somewhere, if I only knew.

BEN
Then this is a dream?

BUFFY
It's you that say it is.
I do my job and find that I get damned.

BEN
But what is truth? Is this reality?
We both have truths. Can your mad truth save me?

MADMEN
Sacrifice her! Sacrifice her!

BEN
What do you mean? You'd sacrifice the Slayer?

MADMEN
You know there is no Slayer!

BEN
She's done no wrong. No, not the slightest thing.

MADMEN
You know there is no Slayer! Sacrifice her!

BEN
I see no reason. I won't do evil.
This girl is harmless, so why does she upset you?
She's just misguided, thinks she's important.
But we'll flee you vultures - Glory cannot stop me!

MADMEN
Sacrifice her! Sacrifice her!

BEN
Where are you from Buffy?
What do you want Buffy?
Tell me.
You've got to be careful.
You could be dead soon,
Could well be.
Come with me now that I have your life in my hands...
Try to stay quiet. I don't believe you understand.

BUFFY
You have nothing in your hands.
Any power you have comes to you from Glory's hand.
Everything is fixed and you can't change it.

BEN
You're a fool Buffy Anne! Why should I help you?

MADMEN
Ben, sacrifice her!
Remember Glory, she's coming back soon.
Now save yourself and sacrifice her!
Remember Glory! You'll be destroyed!
You'll be dissected! Sacrifice her!

BEN
Don't let me stop your great self-destruction.
Die if you want to you misguided martyr!
I wash my hands of your Armageddon.
Die if you want, with your innocent sister!

25 Supergirl

DOCTOR
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let a little dream get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose such a crazy scene and such a strange land?
With your contagious dreams you have touched the whole nation.
Is it hallucination or is it mass communication?
Don't call me mad now. Don't call me mad. Don't call me mad.
I only want to know now....

NURSES
Buffy Anne, Buffy Anne
Where are you? What have you sacrificed?
Buffy Anne, Supergirl
Do you think you're what they say you are?

DOCTOR
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Kendra, was she where it's at, is she where you are?
Could the Mayor eat a mountain, or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would save all Sunnydale?
Don't call me mad now. Don't call me mad. Don't call me mad.
I only want to know.....

NURSES
Buffy Anne, Buffy Anne
Where are you? What have you sacrificed?
Buffy Anne, Supergirl
Do you think you're what they say you are?

26 Armageddon

BUFFY
Dawn, forgive me, for I'm not sure what I'm doing.
Is that my father? Where is my mother?
Doctor! Doctor, have you forgotten me?
Dawn, stay here.
I understand.
Father, Mother, Hellmouth, Heaven - death is my gift.
