Subject: 9x03: The Trophy Be Told Author: VKMax [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:06:46 03/24/04 Wed INT – MUSEUM – DAY Willow and Tara are staring at a set of old stones in a glass case TARA Don’t you think it’s fascinating? WILLOW They’re beautiful, I just can’t believe they’re here in Sunnydale TARA They’re only here for one week, then they have to go back to the British museum WILLOW Speaking of… Has anyone heard anything from Giles, like at all? TARA I-I thought you’d know WILLOW Nothing’s reached me TARA I’m sure he’s okay Willow rubs her hand over the glass TARA You think they’ve got imitations in the Gift shop? WILLOW Imitations never the same – I mean, imagine the history you could visit by enchanting these TARA Don’t you need all five for it to work? WILLOW Didn’t you see the news while you were away? That’s why the shipments here – they found the fifth one in Sunnydale. TARA Wow, r-really, that’s amazing Willow and Tara walk off, holding hands WILLOW I wonder what it looks like They walk off, past a large “private : staff only” door. Through the door a young woman with tied back brown hair is signing for a package WOMAN Just leave it over there DELIVERY GUY I can’t believe it took them nearly a thousand years to find it – you know all the hippy freaks are going to be claiming they have them all for curses and stuff WOMAN Have a good day She pushes him out of the door and turns round, smiling AMY I know I will. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar Nicholas Brendon Tom Lenk Amber Benson James Marsters as Spike and Alyson Hannigan as Willow Special Guest Star Michelle Trachtenberg Guest Starring Kaarina Aufranc, Elizabeth Anne Allen INT – BUFFYS OFFICE – DAY BUFFY I think that maybe you should tell them how you feel RACHEL I don’t want to BUFFY You obviously have things to get off your chest and if they’re related to your parents then, you should tell them RACHEL They’re not my parents, they’re not Kye’s parents – we’re both adopted BUFFY Kye? Oh, god I’m sorry Rebecca I didn’t recognise you RACHEL It’s Rachel and… yeah, I coloured my hair. I do it all the time BUFFY Trying to find a colour that fits how you feel? RACHEL Something like that BUFFY How long have you know you were adopted? RACHEL Pretty much all my life. Kye has issues with it – he has issues with everything. BUFFY I’d noticed RACHEL He’s not a bad guy though – he looks out for me BUFFY That’s…that’s good RACHEL Yeah so listen, I’ve gotta get to class BUFFY Okay, well anytime you need to talk I’m…well, I’m next door RACHEL Yeah, thanks Rachel crosses Willow as she leaves the office RACHEL Principal Rosenberg BUFFY That never stops sounding weird. WILLOW I know! BUFFY How did you manage to be a Principal at twenty two? WILLOW I’m just good like that BUFFY So… You royal head mistressness – what brings you to the lowly councillors office? WILLOW I need you to cover me BUFFY With what? WILLOW No…last period. I need you to sit in my office and wait for the detention attendees BUFFY Really? WILLOW Deputy Principal M…M… BUFFY Marlebabalanghellia WILLOW Something like that – he’s off sick and everyone else is…already holding detention BUFFY I love how well behaved this school is (beat) So where are you going? WILLOW To the museum again – apparently the stones are on display together today BUFFY To each her own (pause) Do I get to use the speaker thingy? Oh and…can I give more detentions? CUT TO. INT – XANDERS HOUSE – DAY Dawn is clipping pieces of Nancy’s hair into some strange old age style DAWN I really don’t think I was the best person for this job NANCY Harmony can’t come over! I don’t want to invite her in DAWN But she knows hair…I know salon’s NANCY You’ll do fine DAWN So where are you going? NANCY I don’t know – it’s weird, I mean it’s two years since we met and now we’ve been dating a whole year DAWN You started dating at Christmas didn’t you? NANCY Technically – yes, but we started to think about dating a year ago DAWN Okay so it’s a fake anniversary NANCY Only if you want to complicate things (beat) He says he’s taking me somewhere special – we’re meeting at 8 DAWN That’s not for seven hours NANCY I like to be prepared END OF PART ONE INT – SPIKES HOUSE – DAY Spike rubs his eyes as he walks through the house naked and tired (no Gemma – you can’t see it, this is TV-14 material) obviously he’s forgotten about this brand spanking new housemate. He goes into the kitchen and opens up the refrigerator – drinking milk straight from the carton. As he closes the door he comes face to face with a smiling Harmony. HARMONY Morning sunshine! SPIKE Oh, it wasn’t just a bad dream HARMONY Don’t be silly! We’re going to have loads of fun – I’m making bacon and everything. SPIKE Guess that’d be my cue to put some clothes on then HARMONY Oh my god! Harmony drops the bacon on the floor HARMONY You’re completely naked! SPIKE It’s not like you’ve never seen it, touched it or…everything else-d it before. HARMONY Hello! That was way in the past – now you’re my really gross, really, really old ex! SPIKE I am not old! HARMONY You’re over a hundred SPIKE But I died when I was twenty seven HARMONY Well you don’t look it okay – maybe being human is catching up with you or something. Now get dressed – you have things to do? SPIKE Like what? HARMONY Like…stuff, now cover yourself up SPIKE Bloody women HARMONY I heard that! SPIKE That’s because I was talking to you, bint! CUT TO. EXT – PARK – DAY Andrew and Xander are strolling through the park in the middle of what can only be described as a perfect day. Sun shining, frisbee being played – the works. XANDER So do you think she’ll like it? ANDREW I don’t know Xan Man XANDER Don’t call me that ANDREW I just think it’s a little… early XANDER Early? ANDREW I mean – It’s only been sixteen months since Anya died and you’re already getting married? XANDER You think I moved too fast? ANDREW I just… not ready to be Uncle Andrew XANDER Whoa! Whoa! I think we can leave that one to happening, oh say, never! (beat) It’s not like we’re planning to get married anytime soon, just some time – maybe. ANDREW Maybe? XANDER I meant eventually ANDREW But you said maybe XANDER But I meant…Amy! ANDREW Huh? Xander turns Andrew’s attention to Amy who is stood in front of them XANDER How’ve you been? Still evil? AMY Pretty much. XANDER Well…that’s…nice AMY Not for you. XANDER Okay, well, we’ll be seeing you Amy smiles before her eyes blacken ANDREW Should we call Buffy? XANDER I don’t think it would be a bad idea AMY Or… Amy grabs Xander and Andrew by the collars and hurls them up into the air AMY We could try something else (beat) Tell your little friends that I haven’t forgotten the way they shut me out of their special circle when I came back… tell them… (thinks) Hell, just tell them they’re dead CUT TO. INT - SUMMERS HOUSE – DAY Tara and Dawn are sat in the living room flicking through magazines together DAWN I feel like little miss make-over today TARA Who else have you done? DAWN Well…okay, mainly just Nancy but – see I’m helping her find wedding dresses. She’s so into this whole thing, I just hope Xander knows what he’s dealing with TARA You noticed it too huh? DAWN You mean the whole “way not over Anya but trying to forget about her by making big romantic gestures” thing? (pause) No, I didn’t notice TARA This dress is beautiful Dawn leaps up and sits down next to Tara DAWN That is so you! TARA (shy) No… DAWN You ever think what it would be like if you got married to Willow? TARA Not really, I mean, w-we cant DAWN Not in some states sure but you can always have a blessing TARA A… DAWN It’s like the ceremony but just not with the legal document TARA Isn’t that just an excuse for a party? DAWN No…”My first A this symester” or “Ooh, I survived a week of college” is an excuse for a party – this is an exchange of vows I mean – with exception of a somewhat not minor setback, you guys have been together for five years. TARA Hold on a minute… DAWN Don’t change the subject on me TARA Turn the volume up Tara shuffles forward to concentrate on the TV as Dawn grabs the remote. TARA T-those are the jewels that Willow and I saw… DAWN The magic ones? Tara listens closely to the television as the screen shows a close-up of the stones READER Several staff members were absent from work today and have not been in contact since the fifth stone was delivered yesterday afternoon. TARA We need to find out who did this? DAWN What’s the big? It’s just a bunch of stones right – who’s gonna know what to do with them? XANDER (O.S) Try this clue… Xander limps in with Andrew XANDER She’s little, she’s a… ANDREW Witch XANDER Something like that…she’s Amy DAWN Amy, the rat girl? TARA W-Willow’s friend XANDER Willow’s extreme not friend ANDREW She turned her into Warren a couple of years ago – then she tried to shoot Kennedy the same way he shot you A deadly silence floods the room ANDREW Okay, so those in favour of playing the Buffy card, say I… DAWN/XANDER/ANDREW “I” TARA N-no…I want to…I have a hunch DAWN Hunch is good XANDER What are we going to do? TARA I’m going to talk to Amy XANDER Okay – you go blind today? I’m like a walking bruise ANDREW She kicked our asses TARA I-I won’t fight her – Just want to talk, woman to woman DAWN Goddess to Devil? Tara gives Dawn a dissaproving look TARA Please don’t tell Willow or-or Buffy…not unless you have to XANDER How do we know if we have to? TARA You just will DAWN Be careful TARA (unsure) I will (to Xander) Where can I find her? CUT TO. EXT – AMYS HOUSE – DAY Tara cautiously approaches the house, holding a small piece of paper with the adress on it. She goes to knock at the door before she spots that it’s ajar. TARA H-Hello? Amy. She steps a foot into the door before Amy’s voice comes from behind her AMY Can I help you? TARA A-amy AMY That’s me. TARA M-m-my name is… AMY You’re Tara right? I remember you from Willows. I thought you were dead. TARA I was AMY Wow, you know I’m kind of glad that I didn’t hang out with you guys. You’re always dying for small periods of time. TARA I was dead for two years. AMY I was a rat for three – I guess that’s where I recognise you from, you could’ve at least had the courtesy to cover my cage when you got changed and…stuff. TARA I’m not here for small talk Amy AMY Can’t imagine that you are (beat) What did I do now? CUT TO. INT. MUSEUM – DAY A shadowed figure lifts an extremely valueable crystal from a safe in the private area as security arrive. SECURITY Hands above your head! Now! VOICE Goddess here me, bleed my plea, inside outside, let him be The man lifts into the air and begins screaming in pain as blood trickle from his mouth. A tearing sound occurs before he falls to the floor. The figure steps from the shadows. It’s “Amy”. AMY* I’ll call the janitor to clean you up END OF PART TWO [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

TARA No. AMY I can tell this is going to be a threatening visit TARA I don’t threaten people. It’s not a thing I do. AMY Let me guess you “promise”? TARA Amy, I just…I’ve heard some stuff AMY About the curse with Kennedy? Wow I didn’t realise it was being taken so seriously TARA I just wanted to understand what made you do it? Was it jealousy? AMY I’m not jealous of her! She’s evil. TARA She’s not. AMY You weren’t here! TARA But I saw it all! You weren’t there either. AMY But I was around. I felt it all – I felt the earth move and the darkness rising and it made me sick. (beat) Sick that she got there so fast TARA You’re jealous that she almost ended the world. AMY Yes, no. I didn’t like that she got that kind of power so easily TARA It wasn’t easy for her Amy, she’s suffered a lot because of this AMY Now she’s back to normal – it’s all good for her TARA She’s beyond normal – she’s a goddess. AMY Wow, you really are in love TARA She really is a Goddess AMY A literal one? TARA Yes. Amy looks raged and confused AMY But…she’s weak! She was b…she started after me! This isn’t fair! TARA Calm down… AMY You! This is because of you isn’t it? She’d never have got to this level if you hadn’t been around to push her so damned hard. TARA No, I… AMY I’m sorry but that’s not good enough. You just keep making her stronger and I can’t allow that. I have to put a stop to it. Amy raises her hand and smashes Tara out of the window – down several floors. Amy looks guilty for a moment before smirking – she picks up the phone and presses a speed dial number. AMY Have you got it yet? Amy waits for an answer but drops the phone as the room begins to shake – a blinding light comes from outside as Tara floats up to the window, bathed in light. TARA I am as one with Willow Amy falls down to the floor as she backs away from Tara AMY A Goddess… CUT TO. EXT – MALL – DAY Buffy and Willow are loading bags into their car BUFFY I think maybe I went a bit crazy WILLOW What makes you think that? Willow climbs onto the trunk to try and shut it with all of the bags inside BUFFY It’s a disease. Buffy moves Willow off and slams the trunk down while answering her phone. BUFFY Hello? (pause) Dawnie, hey. What’s up…what? When? WILLOW Buffy what is it? BUFFY We’ll be there as soon as… Buffy moves the phone from her face as a strong wind begins blowing through her hair WILLOW What’s going on? They stare to the sky in silence as clouds from thick and dark – dark enough for it to be night. WILLOW Buffy? A smash of lightning comes cracking in between them – throwing them in different directions BUFFY Willow! Buffy leaps over the gap to grab Willow as the wind continues to get stronger, snapping a lamp post. She lifts Willow by her under arms BUFFY Are you hurt? WILLOW I’m…okay…what’s going on? BUFFY Dawn said something…it’s Amy WILLOW Amy? CUT TO. INT – SPIKES APARTMENT – DAY/NIGHT Harmony ties up a strappy sandal and grabs her coat SPIKE Are you insane? (beat) Stupid question HARMONY What? SPIKE The wind can blow down a bloody house – you’ll be in Oz before you know it HARMONY But it’s dark early, I have to go out SPIKE Fine, go and blow away then. (pause) Second thoughts, yes- I encourage your being outside HARMONY Aww, Spikey you care really SPIKE Go out. HARMONY (pouts) Fine! Harmony opens the door and goes flying into the stairs opposite it. Spike runs over and pushes into the door – struggling but eventually forcing it shut SPIKE Bloody hell! (concerned) It’s like the end of the world out there CUT TO. INT – BUFFYS HOUSE – DAY/NIGHT Xander is hammering a large wooden board against the window as Andrew paces the floor in a panic DAWN Andrew calm down ANDREW Oh sure! Hi it’s the end of the world again, everybody chill out and have a zeema! They stand in silence until the door slams, they run into the kitchen to see Willow and Buffy with extremely large hair BUFFY Is everyone okay? DAWN We’re fine BUFFY What the hells going on? Willow walks out of the room BUFFY Xander what happened to your eye? XANDER Got a little visit from Amy… BUFFY Amy did that? ANDREW She’s really strong! Like super strengthed! BUFFY How? DAWN She stole some crystals from the museum – there was just another bulletin that another one has gone missing BUFFY What do they do? DAWN Here Dawn hands a book to Buffy DAWN Only witches of a certain level can use them – they draw powers from the centre of the earth and charge you for battle, I’m guessing the weather is a sort of backlash from all of it. Willow comes running back in WILLOW Where’s Tara? Everyone looks guilty WILLOW Tell me! CUT TO. INT – AMYS HOUSE – DAY/NIGHT Swirls of light have encaved Amy AMY What are you doing to me? Tara throws her head back at the light floods into Amy as she screams. FLASH Sunnydale, 2002. Amy is at the building site for the new Sunnydale High School as she climbs through a skip, holding a torch. She smiles as the light reflects from a gold trophy. FLASH Two months earlier Amy and Catherine (Her Mother) are arguing over an event. AMY They arrive in two months! You can’t expect to get a job there and a security number by then! CATHERINE Don’t worry about it. I’ll do all the work, you just need to handle the details (smug) It’s about time that little bitch and her friends got payback for locking me away so long in that trophy. AMY You heard what I said, they always win CATHERINE Not this time – not with the power of… CUT TO. INT – KITCHEN – DAY/NIGHT WILLOW Dawn tell me! BUFFY Dawn? DAWN She went after Amy WILLOW What? BUFFY What? Dawn where did they go? DAWN She said she was going to Amy’s house WILLOW I have to go there! BUFFY Will she can handle herself – it’s too dangerous outside! WILLOW She doesn’t know how powerful Amy is! BUFFY Then Amy doesn’t know how powerful Tara is!!! Willow goes to run past Buffy as the door flies off it’s hinges – Amy* comes floating through. WILLOW Amy? She laughs wickedly AMY* You wish! Flashes all around as she morphs back to… BUFFY Catherine. CATHERINE Bet you didn’t think you’d see me again! CUT TO. INT – AMYS HOUSE – NIGHT Amy is huddled up on the chair hugging a cushion and rocking slightly AMY What have I done? She continues mumbling to herself as Tara – who now has a permanent flash of white in her hair, stares breathlessly at her – the lights around her keep flashing TARA Sorry about the electricity – I-I had to help you see, Amy. Amy ignores her until the TV flashes on and a close-up of Amy is on the screen AMY That’s me! I mean…my face. That bitch TARA You were here an hour ago Amy leaps out of the chair and is closely followed by Tara. CUT TO. INT – BUFFYS KITCHEN – DAY/NIGHT BUFFY How? WILLOW Amy CATHERINE Wow (laughs) I can practically feel the power steaming off of you, this is gonna be fun Buffy charges at her – she grabs Buffy and hurls her over the kitchen counter, crashing into the corner. DAWN Buffy! Catherine gives Dawn an evil glare which launches her backwards into Xander, smashing them to the floor Andrew by this time has had the sense to run upstairs. CATHERINE Look who’s left WILLOW Don’t come against me Catherine, I’m warning you. CATHERINE Oh, you’re warning me? Amy said you were smart. How did you get so stupid as to think a witch can defeat the power of the stones? Willow rises from the floor to match Catherine, her hair extends and lightens WILLOW I’m not regular witch. Catherine stares in fascination before furiously tossing a ball of fire at Willow who repels it. WILLOW Not here Willow raises her hands at Catherine and forces her outside, following elegantly through the air. The two are now outside as Amy and Tara pull up in the car. AMY I can’t open the door, the winds too strong TARA Try harder AMY Lamenté The door springs open, Tara rolls her eyes – they run towards the fight. Catherine immediately smacks them away with a wall of power. TARA Willow! AMY Catherine Catherine spins round and looks at Amy, her eyes black. CATHERINE It’s Mother! AMY You are not my Mother! Catherine is distracted enough by this for Willow to blow her down to the ground. WILLOW Tara… Tara nods at Amy They hold hands above Catherine TARA Stones be ashes gone in the wind. Cursed no-more, in debt for sins. CATHERINE No! AMY Bless thy heart, deathen this song. Bleed my eyes and blind this fog. Catherine screams in pain as her necklace lights up and crumbles around her neck – Light pours from her eyes and shoots up to the clouds END OF PART THREE EXT – BUFFYS HOUSE – DAY/NIGHT Buffy comes running out with Xander and Dawn as the Catherine writhes in pain AMY Mom! Amy leaps forward, but stops in her tracks CATHERINE Amy finish them off! AMY Go to hell. Catherine is frozen to the spot as several police cars arrive. AMY God… TARA Run WILLOW What? No! TARA They’re going to arrest her for something she didn’t do! She doesn’t deserve that Amy gives Tara a heartfelt look. Willow looks hurt – Amy runs. The police are about to step out of their car as they literally freeze to the spot and reverse out of sight. BUFFY What the… A group of women walk over in long robes – they ignore Buffy and walk straight to Tara and Willow They pass and I.D card to her. WILLOW W.R.U? WOMAN Wicca Restraint Unit. We specialise in mental therapy and/or imprisonment for unstable or molevolent witches. We had our special ops team out for you before your friend saved you. She smiles at Xander WOMAN Thank you. WILLOW What will happen to her? WOMAN She’ll be kept isolated until we feel she’s been rebuilt enough to be released to the public once again. BUFFY I don’t think this is such a good idea WOMAN You don’t have a say in the matter. The women strap Catherine to a stretcher and carry her off as the gang stand frozen, bar Tara and Willow. WILLOW Keep us informed. They dissapear in a van as the gang unfreeze. BUFFY Yes I … where did they go? XANDER Where did who go? WILLOW (bemused) Buffy, what are you talking about? BUFFY (confused) I…I don’t know. The group slowly walk inside MIX TO. INT – CAR – DAY Amy is driving off through the back streets MIX TO. INT ????? Catherine is in the corner, bashing her head against a rock wall – around her is a green energy field. Away from there, a group of women supervise as several other women, all battered and tired looking, are operating machinery around them. Catherines forcefield comes down – she huddles into the corner, scared. WOMAN It’s time to join the ranks Madison. CATHERINE No…No please… WOMAN You know the rules BLACK OUT CATHERINE (O.S) Noooo! Grr Argh! *This episode marks the first appearance of Catherine Madison in eight years. *Elizabeth Anne Allen makes her return after a 34 episode absence. *The scene including Nancy preparing for her obviously delayed anniversary dinner was added after Kaarina couldn't film her scenes for episode four. As she'd been signed for 17 episodes, she was written into this one where she was originally absent. *Sarah Michelle Gellar was only available for three of the eight day shoot, hence her role being decreased and Michelle Trachtenberg and Amber Benson filling it.

[> Subject: Re: 9x03: The Trophy Be Told Author: Nullafy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:08:37 03/26/04 Fri :D Good ep! Loved the Harmony and Spike interaction, Loved Tara in this ep too. Good to see Amy again :D

[> Subject: *pouts* what do you mean I can't see it? Author: Gemma [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:21:39 04/04/04 Sun LOl you don't know how much that line caught me unawares :D I was reading away thinking what trouble is Willow going to get herself into, especially when Amy's involved and got to Spikes house at the bottom of the page and scrolled up another to see this. ROTFL -Love it heaps.. BUt you know spicing up could happen ;) Ok How can Harmony NOT notice Spike's naked! I'm not there and I can see it *smiles* Amy really does mean business this time! Poor Xander, poor Andrew. But glad Xander's having maybe's. There's two Amy's. I'm trying to guess who 'Amy" is..but can't lol it's like Amy's split in two. One evil and one whose with Tara is nice. Ok so she's not so nice after all LOl I should learn to read a bit further before I type some things. SPIKE-Bloody hell! (concerned) It’s like the end of the world out there- LOl Perfect line oo Juicy!- Amy's got mummy home again. I can't wait intil the flashback to what Tara made Amy see :) ROTFL- Where's the W.R.U when you need them? REally liked this. I do have questions. What did Tara show Amy. I didn't quite get that bit. Was it what was going to happen to Catherine? Also the W.R.U. They're not totally above board are they? Machinery hmm This one has me thnking lots..meany for making me think ;) As always a great episode :D

[> Subject: Poor Gemma Author: MTsFan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:26:53 04/13/04 Tue Aww, VKMax, would you deny Gemma her jollies? She needs her dose of Spike. The WRU either is a Deus ex machina or we'll see them some more. Wonder which. They act arrogant with Willow. They obviously have considerable power, but wouldn't want to anger a goddess. Add filling in by Dawn any time.
