Original subtitles

I can't bite anything.

I can't even hit people.

Previously on Buffy the vampire slayer...

I've got information

about the soldier boys you were fighting.

I'm going.

Well, how long?

I don't know.

The wolf is inside me, all the time.

Until I figure out what that means,

I shouldn't be around you.

Looks good.

Hey, Buffy.

Is there something you want to tell me?

What?

Oh.

Yes. I am a lesbian.

Well, it's good that you're so open about it.

Well, hey... you know we were talkin' about havin' a picnic?

I was thinkin'. Do you ever hang out at Ruggs field?

It's beautiful there.

Usually not that crowded, either.

I thought maybe we could have a little spread.

Sandwiches... Maybe some ants. Could be fun.

We were talking about having a picnic?

Oh. So, was that a conversation we actually had

or one I was just practicing?

Practicing?

Okay. Yes. I have been known

to do a little prep work before our conversations.

It's not easy, you know, talkin' to you sometimes.

It's like an oral exam.

Boy. That's just what every girl longs to hear.

Well, you're tricky.

Like an exam?

I never know how you're gonna react to something.

That's why I like you so much.

You're a mystery.

Probably every beautiful girl in the world

has some jerk tellin' her she's a mystery, but...

I swear... You really are.

There's a lot about you that needs puzzling out.

I lose you somewhere?

Right around...

"Beautiful."

Say... Don't you just love a picnic?

It's just... Different, you know?

A picnic.

First of all, daylight.

That's kind of a new venue, Buffy-wise.

And the best part...

He said that he would bring all the food,

so all I have to do is show up and eat.

Those are 2 things I'm really good at.

So, he's nice?

Very, very.

And there's sparkage?

Yeah. He's...

Have you seen his arms?

Those are... Good arms to have.

I really like him. I do.

But?

I don't know.

I really like being around him...

You know, and I think he cares about me.

But..I just... Feel like something's missing.

He's not making you miserable?

Exactly.

Riley seems so solid...

Like... He wouldn't cause me heartache.

Get out. Get out while there's still time.

I know.

I have to get away from that "bad boy" thing.

There's no good there.

Seeing angel in L.A...

Even for 5 minutes...

Hello to the pain.

The pain is not a friend.

But I can't help thinking...

Isn't that where the fire comes from?

Can a nice, safe relationship be that intense?

I know it's nuts, but part of me believes

that real love and passion

have to go hand in hand with pain and fighting.

I wonder where I get that from.

So, you saw their faces,

but you can't describe them.

Well...

They were human.

2 eyes each, kind of in the middle.

Uh-huh. And the lab?

Underground.

I came out through an air vent.

I don't know exactly where. I'm done.

Put the telly on.

It's about time. Hope you got it warm enough.

Don't know why you're so dainty all of a sudden.

You've done this for angel. You must have.

Okay.

Hey! Give it! That's it.

The invalid amnesiac routine is over.

The kitchen is closed until you can tell me something useful about the commandos.

I'm trying to remember. It was very traumatic.

How long are you gonna pull this crap?

How long am I gonna live once I tell you?

Spike, we have no intention of killing a harmless creature.

But we have to know what's been done to you.

We can't let you go until we're sure you're impotent.

Hey.

Sorry. Poor choice of words.

Until we know that you're... You're...

Flaccid?

You are one step away, Missy.

Giles, help. He's gonna scold me.

You know what?

I don't think you want us to let you go.

Maybe we made it a little too comfy in here for you.

Comfy?

I'm chained in a bathtub,

drinking pig's blood from a novelty mug.

Doesn't rate huge in the Zagat's guide.

You want something nicer?

Oh, look at my poor neck...

All bare and tender and exposed.

All that blood...

Just pumping away.

Oh, please. Giles, make her stop!

If those two don't kill each other...

I might lend a hand.

What about a truth spell?

I'm not positive it would work on a vampire,

but we could try... Make him fess up.

A truth spell. Of course. Why didn't I think of that?

'Cause you had your hands full with the undead English patient?

Yes. Worth a go.

Looks pretty simple. I'll stop by the magic shop tomorrow.

Excellent.

All right. I'll be back in the morning

with doughnuts and motherwort.

Bye, Buffy. I'll see you at home. Bye.

Great. Thank you, Willow.

Um...

Willow may have had a very helpful idea.

She seems to be coping better with oz's departure, don't you think?

Well, she still has a way to go, but...

Yeah, I think she's dealing.

What, are you people blind?

She's hangin' on by a thread.

Any ninny can see that.

Devon said that he sent for his stuff.

I g... I guess this means

he's planning on settling down somewhere...

Else.

Not here.

I guess so.

I feel like I've been split down the center

and half of me is lost.

I know.

It feels like that now.

Oz is gone.

Come on, now! It's telly time!

Hey, this is Buffy and Willow.

Please leave a message.

Oh, uh, Willow, it's Giles.

Um, I... I thought you were bringing

the ingredients for that spell.

I really have to...

Passions is on! Timmy's down a bloody well,

and if you make me miss it, I'll...

You'll do what, lick me to death?

Look, uh, Willow...

I think we ought to try the spell.

Among other things, I'd like to shower sometime today.

Alone.

Driving.

Yeah.

You seriously drive for fun?

Well, not 4-wheeling or anything, but yeah. Don't you?

Actually, no-wheeling is more my specialty.

I'm an avid pedestrian, though.

You're kidding, right?

I mean, you know how to drive.

Well, I took the class.

Cars and Buffy are, like... Unmixy things.

Just because you haven't had a good experience yet.

You can have the best time in a car.

It's not about getting somewhere.

You have to take your time...

Forget about everything.

You just relax...

Let it wash over you...

The air...

The motion.

Just let it roll.

We are talking about driving, right?

I thought I was.

I'm taking you. Some night when it's warm.

Go past the vineyards.

It's gonna change everything for you.

I'm in.

Hey, Willow.

Hey.

I interrupted.

You've got apples.

My "mis."

Wait.

Sit. There's plenty to go around.

Did something happen? Is something wrong?

No.

Everything's fine.

Same.

Oh.

Your apples are turning brown...

The way they do.

Yeah. Guess they do that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeez. You mean oz just sent for his stuff

and didn't even call her?

That's pretty harsh.

I only wish I had my powers back.

I'd liquefy his entrails for her.

That's sweet.

God. Poor wil.

No wonder she's...

Having a wonderful time.

Wow. Way to rebound.

I believe that's the dance of a brave little toaster.

Hey, guys, come on. This music's great.

It's nice to see you brought your boogie shoes tonight, wil.

Yeah. You know, I know I've been sort of a party poop lately,

so I said to myself, "self," I said,

"it's time to shake and shimmy it off."

Sounds like a good policy.

Yeah, and it works, too.

Yeah, I just figure in the grand scheme of things,

we're all just...

Drunk?

Drunk. I mean...

That's... That's such a... a strong word...

Kind of a guttural Anglo-Saxon word.

"Drunk."

Wil, not loving the drowning of the sorrows.

Not drowning. Waiting.

Uh, see? Light. No big.

No big? Anybody remember when Buffy had the fun beerfest

and went one million years b.C.?

Sadly, without the fuzzy bikini.

Off topic, Xander.

Right. Helping now.

Wil, how about you give me that beer?

No. Why should I?

I-I've got pain here, big-time legitimate pain.

We all have pain, wil.

Like what? "Oh, poor me. I live in a basement." Yeah, that's dire.

Okay. You know what? That's it. I'm taking you home.

No. I don't want to.

Well, you'll thank me when you still have a friend in the morning.

I just can't stand feeling this way.

I want it to be over.

It will.

I promise.

But it's gonna take time.

Well, that's not good enough.

I know.

It's just how it is.

You have to go through the pain.

Well, isn't there some way I can just make it go away?

Just 'cause I say so? Can't... can't I just make it go poof?

Harken well, ye elements.

I summon thee now.

Control the outside...

Control within.

Land and sea, fire and wind...

Out of my passions, a web be spun.

From this Eve forth, my will be done.

So mote it be.

It is my will that my heart be healed...

Now.

I will that this book speak its words to me.

I will that this q-tip gets unbendy?

Come in.

Giles. Uh, what are you doin' here?

I'm a bit concerned about you, actually.

Did Buffy tell you about the beer? 'Cause...

Buffy didn't tell me anything.

Oh. Well, forget the beer part then.

Happily. I came because we had an appointment the other day.

Oh... Right. The truth spell.

Yes. Um... Willow...

I know that you're...

Going though a very difficult time.

But shirking your responsibilities...

But I didn't... Shirk.

I did the research, and I... I picked up the motherwort.

I just forgot the doing-the-spell part.

That isn't like you at all.

I know. I... I've been off.

I...I even tried to do a spell last night.

To have my will done?

I was hoping it would make me feel better.

But it just went kablooey.

A spell? I don't think it's wise

for you to be doing that alone right now.

Your energy's too unfocused.

Well, that's not true. I said... I said I was off, not incompetent.

I only meant that you're grieving,

and it might be wise if you took a break

from doing spells without supervision.

So I get punished 'cause I'm in pain?

It's not punishment. I'm only saying this because...

Oh, you care. Yeah. Everybody cares.

But nobody wants to be inconvenienced.

You all want me to take the time and go through the pain

as long as you don't have to hear about it anymore.

That's not fair.

Isn't it?

'Cause I'm doing the best I can,

and it doesn't seem to be enough for you guys.

And I see how you could feel that way. I do...

No, you don't. You say you do,

but you don't see anything.

Um...

Oh. Sorry.

Um...

Sorry. Um... Perhaps

I'd better be going.

Uh... Let's, um...

Let's talk about this later.

Oh! Sorry.

So sorry.

"Enemy, enemy...

Be now quiet."

You know... I'm not too keen about this spell stuff.

Tends to be a bit unpredictable.

You might have thought about that sooner.

Um...

"Let your deceitful tongue be..."

Uh...

Uh...

"Be...

Broken."

Uh...

"Let no..."

"Untruths be..."

"Spoken."

Hey.

What's that all about?

Hmm? Oh, nothing.

Just, uh, an ash in my eye.

Well. I won't have you doin' mojo on me

if you can't read properly.

You could turn me into a stink beetle or what all.

That would be a generous ending for you, spike.

Ohhh!

I mean, I'm going through something,

I just don't see why he was getting down on me.

Giles just worries. Spells can be dangerous.

Doesn't mean he thinks that you're a bad witch.

I am a bad witch.

No, you're a good witch.

I'm not kidding anyone. If I had any real power,

I could've made oz stay with me.

Willow, you wouldn't have wanted him to have stayed...

And I didn't have the guts to do this spell on veruca.

My "I will it so" spell went nowhere.

The only real witch here is fuzzy little Amy.

I think you're being too hard on yourself.

She's got access to powers I can't even invoke.

I mean, first she's a perfectly normal girl...

Then, poof... She's a rat.

I could never do something like that.

Hello.

Uh, I'll be right there.

Spike escaped.

And you're going?

Now?

Sorry. Duty thing.

Well... I mean, what's the rush?

Spike can't hurt anyone, right?

And I figured since I'm kinda grievy,

we could, uh, you know, have a girls' night,

you know, eat sundaes and watch steel magnolias,

and you can tell me how at least I don't have diabetes.

Wil, I can't hang out with you until I get spike back to Giles.

You know that. I'll be back as soon as I can.

I promise.

I don't see the big. He's probably just standing out there.

You'll find him in 2 seconds.

I thought that was gonna take longer.

Me, too.

I must've got...

Turned around.

Hang... hang on. This...

This is it.

Wait.

No.

Yes.

What are you talking about?

The lab. Commando lab.

The door was right here where I escaped.

I don't think so.

Open up!

I'm gonna kill you!

Spike, there's nothing there. Let me in!

Fix me.

Okay, drop the act.

Get off me!

Okay, that's it. I'm gonna gag you.

Ohhhh!

Ohhhh! Ohh!

Hey! Watch it!

One more word out of you, and I swear...

Swear what? You're not gonna do anything to me.

You don't have the stones.

Oh, I got the stones. I got a whole bunch of...

Stones.

Yeah? You're all talk.

Giles!

I accidentally killed spike!

That's okay, right?

Uh... Just a minute.

I mean, I'm going through something,

and you'd think every once in a while

Buffy would make best friends a priority.

You know, wil, it's not like she could just let spike go.

I get this spell reversed,

they'll be finding your body for weeks.

Oh, make a move.

Please. I'm dying for a good slay.

Spike's more important than me. I get it.

Buffy's gotta find out what's up with those commandos.

Right now, she needs spike.

Well, fine. Why doesn't she just go marry him?

If the two of you could remain... Civil...

Long enough to, uh... to...

It's just so sudden.

I... I don't know what to say.

Just say yes...

And make me the happiest man on earth.

Oh, spike...

Of course it's yes!

Giles! You'll never believe what's happened!

It's just not fair.

I know it's hard to see it right now,

but everything you're feeling is because of you and oz,

not because of Buffy and me or anybody.

But eventually you'll meet somebody else, and it'll be better.

Yeah, 'cause most relationships are great

and trouble-free.

I don't think so.

I think we're all doomed to badness.

We're not doomed. Oh, yeah?

Let's look at your bio.

Insect lady...

Mummy girl...

Anya.

You're a... Demon magnet.

Hey, I was just trying to help.

Willow...

It's... It's me.

Uh, something's happened. I... I need your help.

I... I can't see very well.

E-everything's blurred.

I... I'm certain it's... It's a spell of some kind

because, um... Well...

It... It...

It seems... Something else

is going wrong.

Here you go. 98.6.

Horribly wrong.

Ohhh... There's so much to decide...

Ceremony, guests, reception.

Well, first thing, I'd say we're not having a church wedding.

How about a daytime ceremony...

In the park?

Fabulous. Enjoy your honeymoon with a big pile of dust.

Under the trees. Indirect sunlight only.

A warm spring breeze tosses the leaves aside,

and again you're registering

as Mr. and Mrs. Big pile of dust.

Stop it! This is our wedding,

and you're treating it like a big joke.

Oh. Pouty.

Look at that lip. Gonna get it.

Gonna... Get it.

Oh... Stop.

Yes. Please stop.

Giles, did you see my ring?

Thankfully, not very well.

I'm not crazy. And I know that you probably don't approve.

And my father's not that far away. I mean, he could...

But this day's about family.

My real family.

And I would like you to be the one to give me away.

Oh... Buffy...

That's... that's... That's so...

Uh... Oh, for god's sake!

This is nonsense.

Something is making... You act this way.

Don't you realize what you're doing?

Living the dream.

He's gonna have to take a bit of time to get used to it, pet.

They all will. But you guys weren't crazy

about angel at first, either. You weren't gonna say that name.

Sorry.

Uh.., why don't we talk about where we're gonna register?

Where would angel like to register?

And can we have the photographer angel would've wanted

and, uh, flowers angel would've liked?

Hey! You think I don't live with the shadow of drusilla over my head?

That I'm wondering if you're gonna be thinking of her

on our honeymoon when you're making sweet love to me?

Mmm... Giles, are you okay?

I rather think not.

I... I seem to be rather... Rath...

Rather... Blind.

Completely, in fact.

What? H-how could this happen?

A spell, I believe.

Well... We'll fix it. Don't worry.

What you want is a general reversal spell.

Gonna need supplies.

Are you... Helping me?

Well, it's almost like you're my father-in-law, isn't it?

See? This is how it's gonna be.

Spike'll even take care of you

while I'm at the magic shop.

Oh.

From now on...

We're a family.

Mmm.

It's all right.

I... I have more scotch.

Hey, Buffy.

What's up?

Riley, look.

Aren't they beautiful?

Uh... Yeah.

They're nice.

A little dressy, maybe... For school,

but...

Riley.

Buffy.

I really like you.

I hope you know that you mean a lot to me.

And if things were different...

Different than what?

I want you to promise me that we can always be friends.

And I'd really like you to be there on the day.

The day when...

The wedding.

The wedding.

What wedding?

My wedding. I'm getting married.

Can you believe it?

I don't think "no" is a strong enough word.

I know! It's crazy.

I mean, we fought for all these years,

and then...

Sometimes you just...

Look at someone, and... You know. You know?

No. I think maybe

we fought because we couldn't admit

how we really felt about each other.

Can we start again?

You'll really like him. Well... Nobody really likes him.

I just need to clear a few things up.

I don't even really like him. Buffy.

But... I love him.

I do.

Who?

What?

What's his name?

Who? The groom?

Spike.

That's a name? Don't be mad.

I'm not mad. No, you are mad.

No, I am! I, um... I really...

Wow. Uh... Who is this guy? Does he go here?

Spike? Oh, no. He's totally old.

Old. Well... Not as old as my last boyfriend was.

Okay.

It's late.

And I'm... I'm very tired now,

so... I'm just gonna go far away

and be...

Away.

But...

No.

Stay.

They're ruining my happy day.

That's okay, mom. We don't need any more snacks.

I liked those fruit roll-ups.

Shush. I thought she'd never clear out.

Besides, just think of my lips as the fruit roll-ups of love.

Okay, that was gross.

I'm a little distracted.

Willow was really upset.

I shouldn't have let her go away mad.

Regaining focus.

We just got rid of your mom. Let's not bring Willow into this.

It's time for just the two of us.

No! No! Serparvo demon!

Drowning is the only way to kill it.

What the hell's going on?!

So the plan is to cure my total incapacitating blindness tomorrow, is it?

They were out of taggis root at the magic shop.

They'll have more tomorrow.

I'm completely on top of it.

Aren't they a perfect little us?

I don't like him. He's insipid... Clearly human.

Ooh. Red paint.

We could smear a little on the mouth. The blood of the innocent.

That's my girl.

Stop that right now!

I can hear the smacking.

Oh... Honey, we need to talk about the invitations.

Now, do you want to be "William the bloody"...

Or just spike?

'Cause either way, it's gonna look majorly weird.

Whereas the name "Buffy" gives it that touch of classic elegance.

What's wrong with "Buffy"?

Oh... Such a good question.

Well, it's a terrible name.

My mother gave me that name.

Your mother. Yeah, she's a genius.

Don't you start in on my mother.

Board up the windows! Barricade the doors!

Uh... What's going on?

Demons. They keep coming and coming.

I think we lost them, but I couldn't see.

Spike! He's all untied!

Which you probably noticed.

Xander, calm down, okay? If you lost them,

that'll give us some time to figure this out.

Maybe the demons have something to do with Giles being blind.

Giles is blind?

Stop... Whatever you're doing.

You... you smell like fruit roll-ups.

This is the crack team that foils my every plan?

I am deeply shamed.

Spike's right. We really should get organized.

Why are you holding hands?

They have to hear it sooner or later.

Spike and I are getting married.

How?!

What?!

How?!

3 excellent questions.

What are you lookin' at?

The man I love.

Can I be blind, too?

Wait.

Married.

I know somethin'. What is it?

Everything's so familiar.

Work, brain, work.

Oh! Oh! Willow!

Mmm! What about... mmm... Willow? Honey, get off.

Something about Willow and her griefy "poor me" mood swings.

So, so tired of it.

You mean I don't have to be nice about her anymore?

We're all tired of it, but what does it have to do with what's going on?

She told me I was a demon magnet

and... and you two should get married.

And that I didn't see anything.

She did a spell.

Yes. To have her will done.

Whatever she says is coming true.

And you both were affected!

I probably only escaped because I'm the slayer.

Some kind of natural immunity.

Yeah, right. You're marrying spike

because you're so right for each other.

Xander!

That's it.

You're off the Usher list.

P-people, Willow is out there, and she probably doesn't know what she's doing.

We gotta find her.

Before somebody gets really hurt.

Yaahh!

Why does he have to come?

Xander, spike is gonna be my husband. I want him included.

I agree with Xander here.

Seems like a lot of work for people who aren't us.

Spike, these are my friends. Besides, it's kind of my job.

For now.

What, you want me to stop working?

Let's see. Do I want you to give up killing my friends?

Yeah. I've given it some thought.

This was burned.

D'hoffryn. Bastard. He's opened a portal here.

Who?

Ooh. Fluffy.

Wear this to the rehearsal dinner, and the whole thing's off.

Shut up, honey.

D'hoffryn. He made me a demon 1,120 years ago.

Why would he attack Willow?

I don't believe he did.

You have much anger and pain.

Your magic is strong, but your pain...

It's like a scream that pierces dimensional walls.

We heard your call.

I'm sorry.

I... I'll try for a... Quiet rage.

Bye.

Our intention is not to quash your potential.

Quite the contrary.

I'd been dumped. I was miserable.

Doing a few vengeance spells.

Boils on the penis. Nothing fancy.

Please skip ahead.

D'hoffryn got with me. He offered to elevate me.

Meaning?

They made me a demon.

Oh, god. Willow. But you can summon this guy

from his crypt, right? You can make him stop... oh, my god!

Wouldn't this be a perfect place for pictures?

I'm not posing for chuff-all.

Hey. Demon.

Okay, listen.

Now, we're gonna do this without destroying the foliage.

Let's go!

This way!

Blessed be in the name of d'hoffryn.

Let this space be now a gateway

to the world of Arashmaharr

where demons are spawned.

The pain and suffering you brought upon those you love

has been inspired.

You are ready to join us here in Arashmaharr.

Pain?

What pain?

Buffy!

We're not doin' well here!

We come in supplication.

We bend as the Reed in the flow of a...

No, wait. We, uh... We come in the flow of a...

Uhhh!

Blessed be the name of d'hoffryn.

Uhhh!

They're strong, and I can't fight.

If they get in, I don't know if I can protect you.

You think you have to protect me?

Oh, not with the girl-power bit.

Arrhh!

Urrrhhh!

Oh, god! But I didn't mean to!

But you did. This is the result of your power.

You will make a fine vengeance demon.

No, please! You have to help them!

It is not my concern.

You are my interest in this matter.

Really. No offense intended.

I mean, you've been super nice and everything,

but I don't want to be a demon.

I... I just want to go back and help my friends.

That is your answer?

It... It is.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, well.

Here is my talisman.

You change your mind, give us a chant.

Uhhh! Uhh!

Honey!

Uhhh.

Oh... Spike...

Are you okay?

Slayer.

Ohhhh! Need a little help here!

Let the healing power begin!

Let my will be safe again.

As these words of peace are spoken,

let this harmful spell be broken.

Ohhh...

Bloody hell!

Uhhh! Spike lips! Lips of spike!

Hi, guys.

How long are you going to keep making these?

Oh... Until I don't feel so horribly guilty.

I figure about a million chips from now.

Also, I have to detail giles's car.

Time?

Uh-huh. 5 past 2:00.

Clear as day.

Look. Cookies.

A very not-evil thing I did. Oatmeal?

Yes. Very funny. They're chocolate chip. I can see them.

I still need my glasses. You could be more specific

and give me 20/20.

Eat a cookie, ease my pain?

Mmm. Better.

Well, baking lifts about 30% of my guilt...

But only 7% of my inner turmoil.

Guess that'll just take a while.

It'll happen.

Don't I get a cookie?

No.

Well, I gotta have something.

I still have Buffy taste in my mouth.

You're a pig, spike.

Yeah. Well, I'm not the one who wanted

wind beneath my wings for the first dance.

What? Riley.

He... he... he saw me. What the hell am I gonna say to him?

You thought I was serious?
