TEXT: Prologue: In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer. The Master's lair. Collin is tossing stones into the pool. He takes a few more from the Master's hand. Darla comes into the lair. Master: Zachary didn't return from the hunt last night. Darla: The Slayer. Master: Zachary was strong, and he was careful. And still the Slayer takes him... as she has taken so many of my family. (takes a breath) It wears thin. Collin, what would you do about it? Collin: I'd annihilate her. Master: (Inhales) Out of the mouths of babes... Darla: (makes her way down) Let me do it, Master. Let me kill her for you. Master: You have a personal interest in this. Darla: I don't get to have any fun. Master: I will send the Three. Darla: The Three? Cut to an alley. Three tough guys are lighting up cigarettes. The Three come around a corner at a steady, deliberate pace. The men see them coming and leave. Cut to the Bronze. A cockroach is being chased along the floor. Boy: Get it! Go get it, right there! Girl: I got it! She holds the roach up to the bartender and drops it into his jar. Girl: Free drink, please. The bartender nods his head and goes to get the drink. Willow: Ah, the fumigation party. Cut to Buffy and Willow sitting at a table. Buffy: Hmm? Willow: It's an annual tradition. The closing of the Bronze for a few days to nuke the cockroaches? Buffy: (not paying attention) Oh. Willow: It's a lot of fun... What's it like where *you* are? Buffy: (looks up and smiles) I'm... sorry, I was just... thinking about things... Willow: So, we're talking about a guy? Buffy: Not exactly a guy. For us
