Reptile Boy (Season 2, Episode 17): The lounge. Willow gathers her things to go to class. Willow: You're going to the fraternity party? What made you change your mind? Willow: He's going with you? (to Xander) She's got a date with Angel! Isn't that exciting? Xander: I'm elated. (gets up from the couch) Buffy: I-I'm not going with Angel. I'm going with -- ye gods -- Cordelia. (starts out of the lounge) Willow: Cordelia?! (to Xander) Did I sound a little jealous just then, 'cause I'm not really... (runs after Buffy) Cordelia?! Xander: Cordelia's much better for you than Angel. (hurries after them) Willow: (catches up) What happened with Angel? Buffy: Nothing, as usual. A whole lotta nothing with Angel. Xander: Bummer. They head down the hall. Willow: I don't understand. I mean, he likes you. More than likes. Buffy: Angel barely says two words to me. Xander: Don't you hate that? Buffy: And when he does, he treats me like I'm a child. Xander: That bastard! Buffy: You know, at least Tom can carry on a conversation. Willow: The frat guy. Xander: Oh, Buffy, I don't think so. Frying pan, fire? You know what I'm sayin'. [Later in the episode...at the Frat House] Tom: Because you're seeing someone. Buffy: No. Tom: You're not seeing someone? Lyrics: Sleep and I'll wake you tonight Buffy: Someone's not seeing me. Tom: So, why shouldn't you be here? Lyrics: Hey, don't you want to understand / Understand that Buffy: Because I have obligations. People that I'm responsible for, or to, or... (Tom laughs and so does she) with, or... It's complicated. [Later in the episode...] Cut to the library. Angel: She found the bracelet in the cemetery. Near the south wall. Giles: South wall. Willow stares at the window in fascination. Angel casts no reflection in it. Giles: (to Willow) What are you doing? Willow: Oh! Sorry. The reflection thing that you don't have. Angel, how do you shave? (the men exchange a look) South wall. That's near the college and... the fraternity house! Giles: A fraternity? Willow nods nervously. Angel: Could they be taking these girls? (Willow nods again) Let's get out there! Giles and Angel start to go. Willow holds back. Giles: Wwwe don't know that it's concrete. Uh, let's not disturb her until... Willow: Is there! With Cordelia. They went to a party at the Zeta Kappa house. Giles: She lied to me? Willow: (nervous) Well... Angel: Did... she have a date? Willow: Well... (Angel huffs) Well, why do you think she went to that party? Because you gave her the brush-off! (to Giles) And you never let her do anything except work and patrol! And I know she's the Chosen One, but you're killing her with the pressure! I mean, she's sixteen going on forty! (to Angel) And you! I mean, you're gonna live forever! You don't have time for a cup of coffee?! Angel and Giles are speechless. Willow: Okay, I don't feel better now, and we've gotta help Buffy. She hurries out of the library. Giles and Angel follow shortly behind. [At the end of the episode...] Cut to the Bronze. Jonathan is at the bar anxiously waiting for a large cup of cappuccino. Jonathan: C'mon, hurry! Barmaid: Here you go. She hands him the large cup and saucer and he takes it and a plate with a muffin over to Cordelia. Cordelia: Thank you, Jonathan. (looks at the cappuccino) Did we forget something? Jonathan: Um... Cinnamon, chocolate, half-caf, nonfat. Cordelia just looks at him. He realizes his mistake. Jonathan: Extra foam! Cordelia grabs the muffin and waves the cappuccino away. She steps over to Xander, Willow and Buffy at their table. Xander is reading the Sunnydale Press. Cordelia: Young men are the only way to go. (leaves) Xander: Says here that they've all been sentenced to consecutive life sentences. Investigators found the bones of missing girls in a huge cavern beneath the frat house. And older bones dating back fifty years. Buffy and Willow exchange a grossed-out look. Xander: A surprising number of corporations whose chairmen and founders are former Delta Zeta Kappas are suffering from falling profits, IRS raids... Ooo, and suicides in the boardroom. Hmm. Starve a snake, lose a fortune. Boy, I guess the rich really are different, huh? Willow: (to Buffy) Have you heard from Angel? When he got so mad about you being in danger, and changed into a (makes a face) grr, it was the most amazing thing I ever saw. I mean, how many guys can... Angel comes down the stairs and over to stand behind Xander. Xander: Angel, Angel, Angel. Does every conversation we have have to come around to that freak? (notices Angel) Hey, man, how you doin'? Xander: (in a deep voice) Xander! (shakes his head) Angel: I hear this place, uh, serves coffee. (Xander looks up at him) I thought maybe you and I should get some. Sometime. If you want. Buffy permits herself a bit of a smile. Buffy: Yeah. Sometime. I'll let you know. Angel eyes her suspiciously. Buffy gets up and leaves with a smile on her face. |
