Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996–2003): Season 2, Episode 5 - Reptile Boy - full transcript

Buffy and Cordelia attend a frat party where they are offered as human sacrifices to a reptile-like creature.

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.

Is she dying?

I think
she's singing.

To a telephone,
in Hindi.

Now that's
entertainment.

Why is she
singing?

She's sad because

her lover gave her
12 gold coins,



but then the wizard cut
open the bag of salt,

and now the dancing
minions

have nowhere to put their big maypole...
Fish thing.

Uh-huh.

Why is she
singing?

Her lover? I thought it
was her chiropractor.

Because of that thing
he did with her feet?

No, that was
personal.

Hmm.
And we thought

just because we
didn't have any money

or anyplace
to go,

this'd be a lackluster evening.

I know, we could
go to the bronze,

and sneak in
our own tea bags



and ask for
hot water.

Hop off the outlaw train, will,

before you land us all in jail.

I, for one,
am giddy and up.

There's a kind of hush
all over Sunnydale,

no demons or vampires to slay,

I'm here with
my friends.

So how does the water
buffalo fit in again?

Callie,
Callie...

Where are
you going?

The party's just
getting started.

Ha ha ha
ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha. See?

Dr. Cebi says when
a man is speaking,

you make serious
eye contact,

and you really,
really listen.

And you laugh at
everything he says.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Ah.

You dreamed about angel again?

Third night
in a row.

What did he do
in the dream?

Stuff.

Ooh, stuff.

Was it one of those
vivid dreams

where you could feel his lips
and smell his hair?

It had
surround sound.

I'm just thinking about
him so much lately.

You two are so right
for each other.

Except for
the, uh...

Vampire thing.

That doesn't make him a
bad person, necessarily.

I'm brainsick.

I can't have a
relationship with him.

Not during
the day, but...

You could ask him for
coffee some night.

It's the non-relationship
drink of choice.

It's not a date, it's a
caffeinated beverage.

OK, sure,
it's hot and bitter,

like a relationship
that way, but...

What's like
a relationship?

Nothing I have.
Coffee?

Huh?

There's really no
comparison between

college men and
high school boys.

I mean,
look at that.

So, cor, you're dating
college guys now?

Well, not that it's
any of your business,

but I happen
to be dating

a delta zeta
kappa.

Ooh, an
extra-terrestrial.

So that's how
you get a date

after you exhausted
all the human guys.

You'll go
to college

some day,
Xander.

I just know your pizza
delivery career

will take you so many
exciting places.

Oh, I told Giles
I'd meet him

in the library
10 minutes ago.

Ah, he won't
be upset.

There hasn't been much
paranormal activity lately.

Just because
the paranormal

is more normal and less...
Para of late,

is no excuse for tardiness
or letting your guard down.

I haven't let
my guard down.

Oh, really?

You yawned your way through
weapons training last week,

you skipped hand to hand
entirely...

Are you going
to be prepared

if a demon Springs up
behind you and does this?

Ow!

Yeah, well,
I'm not a demon.

Which is why
you should let go now.

Thank you.

When you live on top of a...
Mystical convergence,

it's only a matter of time before
a fresh hell breaks loose.

Now is the time that you
should train more strictly,

you should hunt and
patrol more keenly,

you should hone your
skills day and night.

And the little
slice of life

that still belongs
to me from...

I don't know... 7:00 to
7:05 in the morning,

can I do
what I want then?

Buffy, you think I don't know
what it's like to be 16?

No, I think you don't
know what it's like

to be 16,
and a girl,

and a slayer.

Fair enough,
no, I don't.

Or what it's like to
have to stake vampires

while you're having fuzzy
feelings towards one.

Ahh...

Digging on
the undead

doesn't exactly do wonders
for your social life.

That's exactly where being
different comes in handy.

Right, who needs
a social life

when you've got your
very own hellmouth?

Yes! You have
a duty, a purpose,

you have
a commitment in life.

Now how many people
your age can say that?

We talkin' foreign
or domestic?

How about none?

Well, here's a
hard fact of life:

We all have to do
things we don't like.

And you have hand to hand this
afternoon and patrol tonight.

So I suggest you come straight
here at the end of period 6,

and you get
your homework done.

And don't dawdle
with your friends.

And don't think sitting there
pouting is going to get to me,

because it won't.

It's not getting to me.

Boy, what
a long day.

And you skipped
3 classes.

Yeah, and of course
they flew by.

Buffy!

Aren't you
supposed to be

doing your homework
in the library?

I'm dawdling...
With my friends.

Works for me.

You okay?

Geez.

Cordelia.

Hi, Richard.
Nice car.

Yes, I'm going
to look sparkling...

So, we're having a
little get-together

tomorrow night
at the house.

And it's going to be a
really special evening.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

Excuse me?

Oh, I would love...
Love to go.

So who's
your friend?

Her?

She's not my friend.

She's amazing.

She's more like a sister,
really, we're that close.

Well, why don't
you introduce us?

OK.

OK, so tonight, channel
59, Indian TV,

sex, lies, incomprehensible
story lines.

I'll bring
the beetle nuts.

Come on, Richard and
his fraternity brother

want to meet you.

I don't really want to
meet any fraternity boys.

And if there was a god, don't you
think he'd keep it that way?

I believe we were dawdling here.

Hi, sweetheart.

I'm Richard.
And you are?

So not
interested.

Ha! She's such
a little comedienne.

What, she likes
to play hard to get?

No, Richard.

I think you're playing
easy to resist.

Ah, feel free
to ignore him.

I do
all the time.

I'm tom Warner.
I'm a senior

at Crestwood college, and I...

And I just feel like
a complete dolt

meeting you
this way, so...

Here I stand in all
my doltishness.

Right. Like she's
gonna fall for that.

Um, Buffy summers.

Oh, nice
to meet you.

Are you
a senior here?

Junior.

Oh, me, too.

Except that
I'm a senior,

and I'm
in college.

So we have that
in common.

And... I major
in history.

Mmm. History stumps me.

I have a hard enough time remembering
what happened last week.

No, nothing happened
last week,

don't worry,
I was there.

She's going
to walk away.

Now.

So, uh...

My friend invited
your friend

to a party we're
having this weekend.

You know, actually, he's
not even really my friend.

I only joined the fraternity
because my father

and grandpa were
in it before me.

You know, it meant
a lot to them.

OK, boots,
start a walkin'.

I know,
I talk too much.

Anyway, they're
really dull parties

full of really dull
people, so...

Would you like
to come and save me

from a really
dull fate?

Oh, I wish
I could, but...

I'm sort of involved.

Oh. Sure,
of course you are.

Well, thanks for
letting me ramble.

You know, people underestimate
the value of a good ramble.

Buffy!

Oh, I gotta go.

It was nice
to meet you.

Same here.

I hate these guys.

Whatever they want just
falls into their laps.

Don't you hate
these guys?

Yeah, with their
charmed lives,

and their movie-star
good looks,

and more money
than you can count...

I'm hating.

I'm going
to attack you.

For your own good,

I won't be pulling
any punches.

Please don't.

Unh!

Unh!

Aargh!

Good. So, um,
you're on patrol,

and I'll see you
in the morning.

There's
blood on it.

Hi.

It's nice to...
Blood?

I can smell it.

Oh.

It's pretty thin.

It probably belonged
to a girl.

Probably.

I was just thinking,

wouldn't it be funny
sometime to see each other

when it wasn't
a blood thing.

Not funny ha ha.

What are you saying,
you want a date?

No.

You don't want
to have a date.

Who said "date"?
I... I never said "date."

Right, you just want to
have coffee or something.

Coffee?

I knew this
was gonna happen.

What?

What do you think
is happening?

You're 16 years old,
I'm 241.

I've done the math.

You don't know
what you're doing,

you don't know
what you want.

Oh, no,
I think I do.

I want out
of this conversation.

Listen, if we date,

you and I both know one thing's
going to lead to another.

One thing already
has led to another.

You think it's
a little late

to be reading me
a warning label?

I'm just trying
to protect you.

This could get
out of control.

Isn't that the way
it's supposed to be?

This isn't
some fairy tale.

When I kiss you...

You don't wake up
from a deep sleep

and live
happily ever after.

No. When you kiss me,
I want to die.

Buffy!

Did you lose weight?
And your hair...

All right, I respect you
too much to be dishonest.

The hair's a little...

Well, that really isn't
the point here, is it?

The zeta kappas
have to have

a certain balance
at their party,

and Richard
explained it all to me,

but I was so busy really listening
that I didn't hear much.

Anyway, the deal is
they need you to go.

And if you don't go,
I can't.

And I'm talking about
Richard Anderson, OK?

As in Anderson farms,
Anderson aeronautics,

and Anderson cosmetics.

Well...

You see why
I have to go.

Buffy, these men
are rich.

And I am not
being shallow.

Think of all
the poor people

I could help
with all my money.

I'll go.

You'll go?
Great! I'll drive.

Oh, Buffy, it's like we're sisters,
with really different hair.

I pledge my life
and my death...

I pledge my life
and my death...

To the delta
zeta kappas

and to Machida
whom we serve.

To the delta
zeta kappas

and to Machida
whom we serve.

On my oath, before my
assembled brethren...

On my oath, before my
assembled brethren...

I promise to
keep our secret

from this day
unto my death.

I promise to keep
our secret

from this day
unto my death.

In blood
I was baptized,

in blood I shall
reign, in his name.

In blood
I was baptized,

and in blood I shall
reign, in his name.

You are now
one of us.

In his name!

In his name!

Brewski time.

So what's
a girl like you

doing in a place
like this?

Please, let me go.

Let you go?

OK, let me think.
Mmm... No!

God, I love
high school girls.

You're going to
the fraternity party?

What made you
change your mind?

Angel.

He's going
with you?

She's got a date
with angel.

Isn't that
exciting?

I'm elated.

I... I'm not going with angel.

I'm going
with...

Ye gods...
Cordelia.

Cordelia?

Did I sound a little
jealous just then,

'cause I'm not
really...

Cordelia?!

Cordelia's much better
for you than angel.

What happened
with angel?

Nothing. As usual.

A whole lot of
nothing with angel.

Bummer.

I don't
understand.

I mean, he likes you.
More than likes.

Angel barely says
2 words to me.

Don't you
hate that?

And when he does, he treats
me like I'm a child.

That bastard.

You know, at least
tom can carry on

a conversation.

Yeah.

Tom?
Who's tom?

The frat guy.

Oh, Buffy,
I don't think so.

Frying pan, fire?

You know
what I'm saying.

Will you be ready if
a vampire's behind you...

Heh. Didn't see you three...
Creeping about.

Um, how did it go
last night?

I found this.

"E-n-t."

I've seen something
like that before.

It's broken in two.

I don't know what the rest of
the letters might have spelled.

And there's blood on it.

Oh. I didn't
see any.

Angel showed up.

He could smell it.

The blood?

There's a guy you
want to party with.

Blood.

In Sunnydale.
What a surprise.

OK, here's what
we're gonna do.

She should probably make
the rounds again tonight,

and we should try to figure out
who that bracelet belongs to.

Yes, good idea.

She'll patrol and
we'll reconvene...

Uh, hello?

She's standing
right here.

And she's not available.

Why not?

Buffy, this is a little
more important than...

I've got a mountain
of homework to do,

and, um...

My mom's not really
feeling well,

and she could
probably use my help,

and, um, to be truthful,

I'm not feeling
all that well myself.

Oh, sorry. Of course.
If... if you're not well...

I'll take an early pass
this evening

and one later on, but for
the bulk of the evening...

You should stay home
with your mother.

Well, say it.

I'm not gonna say it.

You lied
to Giles.

'Cause she will.

Look, I wasn't lying.

I was just protecting him
from information

that he wouldn't be able
to digest properly.

Like a corn dog.

Like you don't have
a sick mother,

but you'd rather go
to a frat party

where there's going to be
drinking and older guys

and probably
an orgy.

Whoa, whoa. Rewind.

Since when
do they have orgies,

and why aren't I
on the mailing list?

There's no orgies.

I heard a lot of wild things
go on at frat parties.

OK, you know what?

7 days a week
I'm busy saving the world.

Once in a great while
I want to have some fun.

That's what I'm gonna
have tonight... fun.

This isn't about fun.

This
is about duty...

Your duty to help me achieve
permanent prosperity, OK?

Dos and don'ts...

Don't wear black, silk,
chiffon, or spandex.

These are my trademarks.

And don't do that weird
thing with your hair.

What weird Th...

Don't interrupt.

Do be interested if someone
should speak to you.

It may or may not happen.

But do be polite.

And laugh at the
appropriate intervals.

Ha ha ha ha...

Do lie to your mom
about where we're going.

It's a fraternity,
and there will be drinking.

So cor, are you printing
up business cards

with your pager number
and hours of operation,

or just going with
a halter top tonight?

Ohh, are we feeling
a little envious?

You could belong to a fraternity
of rich and powerful men...

In the bizarro world.

Do you guys
want to join us?

Nah. I got to...
Digest and all.

Makeup, makeup...

Well, give it your all
and keep to the shadows.

We're gonna have a blast.

I can't believe
she lied to Giles.

My world is all askew.

Buffy's lying...

Buffy's going
to frat parties...

That's not askew.
That's cockeyed.

Askew means cockeyed.

Oh.

Well, there's nothing
we can do about it.

We'll help Giles.

I'm going
to the party.

What?

I got to keep
an eye on Buffy.

Those frat guys
creep me.

You want to
protect her?

Mm-hmm.

And prove that you're
just as good

as those
rich snotty guys?

Mm-hmm.

Maybe catch an orgy?

If it's on early.

Oh, why do they park
so darn close to you?

Are you ready for this?

I don't know.

Maybe this wasn't
such a good idea.

Me, too. Let's go.

Come on.

Beaucoup babes!

Ooh, yeah.

You know what's so
cool about college?

The diversity.

You've got
all the rich people,

and... All
the other people.

Richard!

Welcome, ladies.

Thank you.

Oh, is there
alcohol in this?

Just a smidge.

Come on, Buffy,
it's just a smidge.

I'll just...

I understand.

When I was your age, I wasn't
into grown-up things either.

Have you seen
our multimedia room?

Oh, the one with the
cherry walnut paneling

and the two 48-inch televisions
on satellite feed?

No. Wanna show me?

What about...

Oh, her?
She's happiest by herself.

Cheers.

New girl!

Dance!

Ah ha ha ha!

Wasted.

Come on, sweetheart!
Ha ha, yeah!

Could I have
this dance?

Thanks for...

No. No.

We're not all a bunch
of drunken louts.

Some of us
are sober louts.

I'm really glad that
you decided to come.

And... You're not.

No. It's...

I shouldn't be here.

Because you're
seeing someone?

No.

You're not
seeing someone?

Someone's not seeing me.

So why shouldn't
you be here?

Because I have
obligations...

People that
I'm responsible for

or to or with or...
It's complicated.

You're big on
responsibility.

I like that.

But there's such a thing
as being too mature.

You should relax

and enjoy yourself
once in a while.

You think
I'm too mature?

I talk too much.

Have you picked up
on that yet?

Anyway, the, uh,
hulk is gone,

so you don't have
to dance with me.

He might come back.

Ooh, yeah.

Godzilla's attacking
downtown Tokyo.

Aaarghhh... Aaarghhh...

Who's this dork?

Never seen him
before in my life.

We got us a crasher.

So have either of you
seen a pair of girls here,

one's about... So high?

Hey, guys.

New pledge.

New pledge.

New pledge!

New pledge!

New pledge! New pledge!

New pledge! New pledge!

New pledge! New pledge...

You OK?

Uh... Yeah.

I was just thinking.

To my Argentinean
junk bonds

that just matured
into double digits.

To maturity.

What the hell.

I'm tired
of being mature.

Bent?

Sent?

Rent...

Lent...

Dent...

Went...

Kent...

Kent. That's it!

Her boyfriend's
name was Kent?

No. Kent
preparatory school

just
outside of town.

That's where I've
seen these bracelets.

What are you doing?

Pulling up their
school newsletter

for the past
few months

to see if there's
anything about...

A missing girl.

Come on, dance,
pretty boy!

Keep it moving!

Ah ha ha! Come on, shake
it, don't break it!

Wrap it up
and I'll take it!

OK, big fun, guys.

Uh, who's next?

You are, dollface.

Keep on dancing.
Ha, all right!

Oh, keep it up.

Yeah, come on.
Keep it going.

Ooh...

Tom?

Oh... ooh, sorry.

OK...

Nice bed.

Just need to
stop spinning for...

Get away from her!

I wasn't doing
anything.

I saw what
you were doing.

I was just having
a little fun.

Well, she's not here for
your fun, you pervert.

She's here for the pleasure
of the one we serve.

In his name.

And that goes for
the other one, too.

Callie Megan Anderson...

Missing for over a week...

No one's seen her,

no one knows
what happened to her.

This being
Sunnydale and all,

I guess we can rule
out something good.

I'm calling Buffy.

No.

Why not?

Because Buffy...
And her mother...

Are sick.
You're quite right.

There's no point in disturbing
them until we know more.

You mean like
if there are others?

Brittany Oswald.
Junior at St. Michael's.

Disappeared a year ago.

So did Kelly percell,

sophomore at Grant.

A year.

Almost to the day.

An anniversary or perhaps
some other event

significant
to the killer.

Killer?

Now there's a killer? We
don't know that there's...

But this being
Sunnydale and all.

Gulp.

We need to know where Buffy
found that bracelet.

Then we can begin
our search there.

Good idea. Call angel.

H-he was there
when Buffy found it.

We're gonna need all
the help we can get.

Party's over, jerkwater.

Wait. A friend
of mine was here.

You know...

In that light...

With that wig on
and all...

You're still butt-ugly.
Ha ha ha...

Buffy... Where are we?

In the basement,

far as I can tell.

What's happening?

What did
they do to us?

They drugged us.

Why?

What are they
gonna do to us?

I don't know.

I want to go home.

No one's
going home...

Ever.

Look, one of them's
different than the others.

Nicer.

Tom.

He's the one
to watch out for.

She's last.

Last? For what?

Who's first?

Answer me!

Who's first?

3 stones.

3 of us.

Buffy?

Stay calm.

We'll get out of this.

Why did I ever let you
talk me into coming here?

She found the bracelet
in the cemetery

near the south wall.

South wall.

What are you doing?

Oh. Sorry.

The reflection thing
that you don't have...

Angel,
how do you shave?

South wall.
That's near the college.

And...

The fraternity house.

A fraternity?

Could they be
taking these girls?

Let's get out there.

Buffy!

Well, we don't know
that it's concrete.

Let's not
disturb her until...

...is there
with Cordelia.

They went to a party
at the zeta kappa house.

She lied to me?

Well...

Did...
She have a date?

Well...

Well, why do you think
she went to that party?

Because you gave her
the brush-off.

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 16 going on 40.

And you!

I mean,
you're gonna live forever.

You don't have time
for a cup of coffee?

OK...

I don't feel better now,

and we've got to help Buffy.

One day I'll have money,

prestige, power...

And on that day
they'll still have more.

Machida...

In his name.

We who serve you,

we who receive
all that you bestow...

Call upon you
in this holy hour.

We have no wealth,

no possession,

except that
which you give us.

We have no power,

no place in the world,

except that
which you give us.

Except that
which you give us.

What are they, some kind
of cult or something?

Yeah. A psycho cult.

You've got to
do something.

It's been a year
since our last offering,

a year in which
our bounty overflowed.

We come before you
with fresh offerings.

Offerings?

He's talking
about us?

Do you see anyone else
chained up in here?

Accept our offering,
dark lord,

and bless us
with your power.

Machida.

Machida!
Machida!

What's
down there?

Come forth...

And let your
terrible countenance

look upon your servants

and their humble offering.

We call you...

Machida.

In his name, machida.

There's something
down there,

and he's gonna throw
us down there with it.

I don't think so.

No?

Well, that's good. That's...

I don't think
we go to it.

I think it comes to us.

Ohh...

Oh, my god.
Aaah!

Aaaaah!

Aaaaah!

Come on, Buffy.

Oh, come on.

For he shall rise
from the depths

and we shall tremble
before him,

he who is the source of all we
inherit and all we possess...

Machida.

Machida!
Machida!

And if he is pleased
with our offerings,

then our fortunes
shall increase.

Machida, let
our fortunes increase!

And on the 10th day
of the 10th month,

he shall be enhungered,

and we shall feed him.

Feed him?

Feed him?

Looks like
everyone's gone.

Hey.
Hey.

What are you guys
doing here?

A bunch of girls
are missing.

The zeta kappas
may be involved.

And Buffy...

Are you
wearing makeup?

No.

I think Buffy's still inside
somewhere with Cordelia.

Her car's still here.

Wh-why are you
wearing that?

Oh, I found it
in their trash.

I saw them through
the window.

They were wearing robes and
went down to the basement.

I was going to
use it to sneak in.

They may be involved in
some kind of ritual.

With the missing
girls.

With Buffy.

OK. That is the guy
you want to party with.

Aaah!

Hey, reptile boy...

No woman
speaks to him.

You don't want her.

Look at her. She's
all skin and bones.

Half an hour later,
you'll be hungry.

I told you to shut up.

Ohh!

You speak again,

and I'll
cut your throat.

Got locked out
dumping the trash.

Let me in. I don't want to
miss the, uh, you know what.

Come on.

Where are they?!

Something's
going on upstairs.

Go. Go.

Feed, dark lord.

Nooooo! Nooooo!

Nooooo!

Nooooo!

Nooooo! Nooooo!

That's for the wig...

That's for the bra...

Some guy's attacking
Buffy with a sword.

Also there's
a really big snake.

Aah!

That's for the makeup,

and that's for
the last 16 1/2 years!

Guys! Buffy! Snake!
Basement! Now!

You bitch.

I'll serve you
to him in pieces.

Tom...

You talk too much.

Aah!

Aaah! Help! Help!

Aaah!

Aaaaah! Aaaah!

Let her go, wormy.

Aaaaah!

You did it.

You saved us.

I've never been so happy to
see anyone in my whole...

You guys...

I just... Hate you guys.

The weirdest things always
happen when you're around.

And you...

You're going to jail
for 15,000 years.

I told one lie.

I had one drink.

Yes, and you were
very nearly devoured

by a giant demon snake.

The words
"let that be a lesson"

are a tad redundant
at this juncture.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I...

I drive you too hard

because I know
what you have to face.

From now on,
no more pushing,

no more prodding.

Just, um...

An inordinate amount
of nudging.

Come on.
Come on, hurry.

Thank you, Jonathan.

Did we
forget something?

Um...

Cinnamon chocolate
half-caf... Nonfat.

Extra foam.

Young men...

Are the only way to go.

It 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 50 years.

"A surprising number
of corporations

"whose chairmen and founders
are former delta zeta kappas

"are suffering from
falling profits, IRS raids,

and suicides
in the boardroom."

Starve a snake,
lose a fortune.

Boy, I guess the rich
really are different, huh?

Have you heard
from angel?

When he got so mad
about you being in danger

and changed into a grrr...

It was the most amazing
thing I ever saw.

I mean,
how many guys can...

Angel, angel, angel.

Does every
conversation we have

have to come around
to that freak?

Hey, man, how ya doin'?

Buffy.

Angel.

Xander.

I hear this place,
uh, serves coffee.

Thought maybe you and I
should get some...

Sometime.

If you want.

Yeah.

Sometime.

I'll let you know.
