Xander: Buffy, we bail now, right?
Thomas: Not yet!
Buffy: Okay, first of all, what's with the outfit? Live in the now, okay? You look like DeBarge!
The vampires close in on her. She turns to Darla.
Buffy: Now, we can do this the hard way, or... well, actually there's just the hard way.
Darla: That's fine with me!
Buffy: Are you sure? Now, this is not gonna be pretty. We're talking violence, strong language, adult content...
Thomas roars behind Buffy. She pulls the chair leg out from inside her shirt. He attacks from behind, but Buffy neatly jams the makeshift stake into his chest. He falls back and turns to ashes. Darla can't believe her eyes. Neither can anyone else.
Buffy: See what happens when you roughhouse?
Darla: He was young and stupid!
Buffy: Xander, go!
Darla: Don't go far!
Buffy and Darla start to fight. Darla punches high, but Buffy blocks. Xander helps Willow pick up Jesse. Darla throws a backhand punch, but Buffy blocks again and follows up with a front snap kick to Darla's stomach. As she leans forward from the pain, Buffy slams her elbow into Darla's back. Cut to outside. Xander and Willow help Jesse out and they start to run. Cut to the mausoleum. Darla hits the wall and falls to the floor, winded.
Buffy: You know, I just wanted to start over. Be like everybody else. Have some friends, y'know, maybe a dog... But, no, you had to come here, you couldn't go suck on some other town.
Darla: Who are you?
Buffy: Don't you know?
Luke grabs her by the neck from behind.
Luke: I don't care!
He throws her across the room. He grabs Darla and lifts her to her feet.
Luke: You were supposed to be bringing an offering for the Master! We're almost at Harvest, and you dally with this child!
Darla: (fearfully) We had someone, but then she came. She killed Thomas. Luke, she's strong.
Luke: You go. I'll see if I can handle the little girl.
He approaches Buffy as she starts to get up, still a little dazed. Darla quickly climbs the steps, looks back once and runs out of the door. Luke attacks Buffy with a double punch, but she blocks it and delivers a punch to his gut and a hopping front snap kick to his jaw. He steps back, but isn't fazed.
Luke: You're strong.
He lands a solid backhand fist on her. She goes flying.
Luke: I'm stronger!
Cut to outside in the cemetery. Xander and Willow are supporting Jesse as they run.
Willow: We'll get the police, it's just a few blocks up!
They are stopped by a group of vampires. Cut to the mausoleum.
Luke: You're wasting my time.
She backs away up the stairs toward the exit.
Buffy: Hey, I had other plans, too, okay?
Luke shoves the heavy lid off of the coffin. Buffy does a cartwheel onto and over it to avoid it and kicks Luke in the chest with both feet, knocking him down. She grabs the stake from the floor and lunges at Luke, but he is too quick for her, and grabs her by the wrist.
Luke: You think you can stop me? Stop us?
He grabs the stake with his other hand and breaks it. Then he grabs her by the shirt.
Luke: You have no idea what you're dealing with.
He throws Buffy onto the rim of the now open coffin. She rolls off onto the floor, dazed. Luke gets up and starts toward her, quoting scripture.
Luke: 'And like a plague of boils, the race of man covered the Earth.'
Cut to the library. Giles is paging through an old volume and stops on a picture of Satan with lightning coming from his hand to a man's.
Luke: 'But on the third day of the newest light would come the Harvest. And the blood of men will flow as wine.'
Cut to the Master sitting in an intricately carved chair.
Luke: 'When the Master will walk among them once more.'
Cut to Xander, Willow and Jesse surrounded by vampires, including Darla.
Luke: 'The Earth will belong to the old ones.'
Cut to Buffy. Luke is in her face.
Luke: 'And Hell itself will come to town.'
He grabs Buffy and growls. He lifts her by the throat and throws her toward the coffin. Buffy flips over in a front layout and lands in the coffin next to a skeleton, and lets out a quick scream, but then remains silent, only breathing. She can't see or hear Luke. She slowly starts to get up. Suddenly Luke jumps up and into the coffin.
Luke: (smiling widely) Amen!
He moves in to bite Buffy.
