Halloween (Season 2, Episode 18): The Bronze. A waitress picks up a tray of cappuccino and cupcakes. The camera follows her as she heads to her table. She turns to her right, but the camera continues through the crowd over to Angel sitting alone at a table, looking very bored. A huge spider web and other Halloween decorations adorn the staircase behind him. Cordelia spots him with his bored look and comes over to his table. "Shy", by Epperley, is playing. Lyrics: I don't say much but I, but I like to sing Cordelia: I know. Is the Bronze so not happening? Or what? (sets down her drink and sits) Angel: Oh. Hi. Lyrics: Won't tell you what I'm thinking Cordelia: Hi! Lyrics: Just have to wait and sing Cordelia: Great! I'm supposed to be meeting Devon, but he's nowhere to be seen. It's like he thinks being in a band gives him an obligation to flake. Angel smiles at the joke. Cordelia: Well, his loss is your incredible gain! Cut to the door. Buffy comes in, looks around and sees Angel at the table with Cordelia, laughing. Cut to Angel's table. Cordelia: So I told Devon, 'You call that leather interior? My Barbie Dream Car had nicer seats!' (they both laugh) Lyrics: I have no skin left on my, on my fingertips Cut to Buffy. She's upset seeing Angel there with Cordelia and turns around to leave. Angel notices her as she's about to go. He gets up and hurries over to her. Lyrics: But still my heart pours out, out from my lips Buffy: (turns back around) Hi! I'm... Angel: Late. Buffy: Rough day at the office. Angel reaches up to her hair and pulls out a piece of straw. Angel: So I see. Lyrics: Well I'm mute, but I'm not quite mute Buffy: Hey, it's a look. A seasonal look. Lyrics: And I say the things you want to hear Cordelia: (appears behind Angel) Buffy. Love the hair. It just screams street urchin. (leaves) Lyrics: I'm mute, but I'm not quite mute Buffy: (smiles) Know what? I need to go... (loses the smile) put a bag over my head. (starts to go) Lyrics: And I keep to myself to defend Angel: (grabs her arm) Don't listen to her. Please. You look fine. Lyrics: Yeah I'm alright Buffy: You're sweet. A terrible liar, but sweet. Lyrics: Oh now don't want to fight Angel: I thought we had... Buffy: A date. So did I. But who am I kidding? Lyrics: I'm an Angel burning out / Oh now Buffy: Dates are things normal girls have. Girls who have time to think about nail polish and facials. You know what I think about? Ambush tactics. Beheading. Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of. (turns and goes out the door) Cordelia: (comes back) Cappuccino? She holds the cup up to him. He looks at her, down at the cappuccino and then back at the door. |
