ACT III


INT. WENDY’S WATERING HOLE – NIGHT

There’s club stuff going on. It’s an all cross-dresser’s club. There are men there dressed up like all the best divas.


INT. ANGEL’S CAR – NIGHT

SPIKE
This is a nice car.

ANGEL
It’s one of those good things about working for Wolfram & Hart last year. Or it’s the only good thing.

SPIKE
So what’s the plan tonight?

ANGEL
Some light dancing and drinking. What do you mean “what’s the plan tonight?”

SPIKE
What are we looking for? Are we just going to wait for a portal to open, find the guy that did it and then tell him not to do it again?

ANGEL
Sounds good to me.

SPIKE
Really? That plan sucks.

ANGEL
It was your plan.

SPIKE
I just threw it out there.

ANGEL
Well what do you really think we should do?

SPIKE
We could hone our creature of the night senses to see if there’s a demon in the crowd.

ANGEL
Okay, we’ll go with your plan.


EXT. BASKETBALL COURT – NIGHT

They’re not playing basketball anymore. They’re just drinking beers in the street. Gunn and Wesley walk away from the group.

WESLEY
Well that was fun. I think I did rather well.

GUNN
For a white British guy, you did well. For a guy in this ‘hood, you did sub-standard.

WESLEY
That was an odd sentence.

GUNN
Yeah. Sub-standard was the wrong word to use. Some of the grammar Wolfram & Hart stuck in my head gets mixed with the regular stuff.

WESLEY
Let’s just go back to the office.

GUNN
Sounds good to me.


INT. WENDY’S WATERING HOLE – NIGHT

Samantha and Abigail (Spike and Angel) walk into the nightclub. It’s a classy place. The décor is set up to resemble Chicago in the 20s and 30s.

WENDY
Oh, my. Look what the cat dragged in.

ANGEL
Hello Wendy.

WENDY
Hello, (whispers) Angel?

ANGEL
Abigail. And this is Samantha.

WENDY
The 8 o’clock show is about to start. You might want to sit down, have a drink, you know, try to fit in.

ANGEL
That sounds fine.

SPIKE
Let’s go to the bar and survey the crowd.

We pan over and look at the stage. There’s a jazz band consisting of both real women and cross-dressers. Wendy walks on the stage to introduce the band.

WENDY
Ladies and Gentlemen: The Sweet Sues.

The band begins to play music, and a female Marylin Monroe walks up to the mic.

SPIKE
Well he’s a very impressive lady.

Then she starts to sing and it becomes clear that it really is a female.

ANGEL
I think you meant to say she Samantha, and we’re looking for a sinister evil here not reviewing a band.

SPIKE
Look at that! Look how she moves! That's just like Jell-O on springs. Must have some sort of built-in motor or something. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!

Time goes by and Spike and Angel survey the crowd to try and find the sinister evil. Angel realizes that everyone is paying attention to the show—including Spike now—which is a good time to open a portal without anyone noticing.

ANGEL
I’m going to go check something out.

SPIKE
Heading to the Ladies’ Room?

ANGEL
Just keep an eye out for anything, you know, suspicious.

Spike goes back to watching the show and Angel walks away.


CUT TO:

INT. HYPERION – NIGHT

Nina, Harmony and Athena sit around in the quiet hotel. Harmony breaks the silence.

HARMONY
I’m bored!

ATHENA
Well, you could always leave.

HARMONY
But there’s nothing to do other places. We’re 3 single chicks in the city, what are we doing here on a Friday night?

NINA
Well I had a date with my boyfriend, but he cancelled to go out with another man dressed like girls.

ATHENA
We could go to the club and check on the guys.

NINA
No. I’m not going out on another mission after almost getting killed in a haunted hair salon.

HARMONY
I think we should go! It could be fun.

ATHENA
Do ladies even go to those places?

NINA
Yeah, they do.

HARMONY
Don’t you want to see Angel at work?

NINA
Okay, we’ll go. But if I die, I’m totally going to haunt you.


CUT TO:

INT. WENDY’S WATERING HOLE - NIGHT

“Marilyn” finishes singing and the crowd claps. She leaves the stage and heads to the bar, right next to Spike. The bartender hands her a glass of water.

SPIKE
So you’re a female Marilyn Monroe impersonator?

PENELOPE
I guess you could say that.

SPIKE
But I saw 4 other Marilyns here tonight, and they’re all guys. Why are you here?

PENELOPE
Because none of the other Marilyns have the balls to sing like her...ironically enough.

SPIKE
That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while.

PENELOPE
Thanks. It’s just a monthly thing. I’m a music student. Getting paid for something I like to do isn’t that bad.

SPIKE
Sounds like good work. So how long have you worked here?

PENELOPE
Since last January.

SPIKE
How many of these ladies are regulars?

PENELOPE
Let’s see, Britney Spears in the blue top, Martha Stewart next to the bathrooms...

SPIKE
Hang on, Martha Stewart?

PENELOPE
More than you would think. Jessica Simpson is very popular in the drag world too.
So what’s your name?

SPIKE
Well in this outfit I’m Samantha.

PENELOPE
And when you’re not in that outfit?

Spike raises an eyebrow at that.

SPIKE
Spike. And what’s your name?

PENELOPE
Well in this outfit, you can call me Marilyn. And the rest of the time you can call me Penelope.

SPIKE
Like when you’re not in that outfit?

PENELOPE
For instance. So what’s a guy with a macho name like “Spike” doing in a place like this?

SPIKE
I’m looking into some disappearances in the area.

PENELOPE
That one’s good. I haven’t heard the “I’m a hero” line from a guy in a dress before.

SPIKE
I’m serious! My friend, well he’s not exactly my friend, I hate the poof.

Just then the poof walks up.

ANGEL
Did you see anything?

SPIKE
Nothing unusual. Did you find anything?

ANGEL
No, nothing.
(to Penelope)
Where you the woman singing up there?

PENELOPE
Yes.

ANGEL
Is there a back door to an alley or anything behind the bar?

PENELOPE
Aren’t you at least going to buy me a drink before I show you my back door?

Angel doesn’t laugh at her joke.

PENELOPE (CONT’D)
I guess you forgot to put a sense of humor in your purse. Just follow me. And act cool.


INT. BACKSTAGE HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS – NIGHT

Angel & Spike walk down the hall to the door leading to the alley. Penelope opens the door to her dressing room (a really small closet with a chair, a table and a mirror) and pulls out a stake. Then she follows the guys.


EXT. ALLEY – NIGHT

ANGEL
There’s no one out here.

PENELOPE
There’s usually a few people out here smoking or using their cell phones. Maybe they disappeared.

SPIKE
I didn’t hear any screaming since we got here.

PENELOPE
You think you could hear screaming over the band?

SPIKE
Good point.

PENELOPE
It could be vampires.

SPIKE
What do you mean...

And Penelope punches Spike across the face and knocks him to the ground. She raises her stake but Angel comes up from behind her and knocks it out of her grip. He grabs her hair and holds her head so she is looking straight up at him.

ANGEL
That wasn’t very nice.

Angel pushes her down. She loses an earring.

SPIKE
What are you, a slayer?

PENELOPE
Yeah, I am.

SPIKE
Is every chick we meet these days a bloody slayer?

PENELOPE
Gee, I hope not because, that would make it a whole lot less special for me.

ANGEL
Nina’s not a slayer.

SPIKE
Why didn’t you tell us?

PENELOPE
It’s called a secret identity because it’s a secret. Plus you didn’t say “Hi, I’m a vampire” when you introduced yourself, didya?

ANGEL
How did you know we were vampires anyway?

PENELOPE
There’s a mirror behind the bar and your date didn’t have a reflection.

ANGEL
Spike’s not my date.

PENELOPE
Okay, just checking. You came in together.

ANGEL
We’re partners.
(that sounded wrong)
He works for me, we’re looking into some disappearances.

PENELOPE
Really? That wasn’t a line?

SPIKE
No.

PENELOPE
So you what, help people?

ANGEL
I have a soul.

PENELOPE
Oh, you’re that vampire.
(not buying it)
Sure, okay.

ANGEL
I really am! And Spike has one too, sorry to say.

PENELOPE
Well isn’t that special.

SPIKE
It’s true. And we’re wasting a lot of time out here arguing.

Angel opens the door leading inside and holds it open for Spike and Penelope.

PENELOPE
Can I have my stake back now?

ACT IV


INT. WENDY’S WATERING HOLE – NIGHT

Nina, Harmony & Athena walk into the bar. They look around but don’t see Angel or Spike.

NINA
I don’t see them. Do you see them?

HARMONY
I don’t know. What color were their wigs?

NINA
Brown and blonde.

HARMONY
Okay, that doesn’t help.

ATHENA
Let’s just sit down and get some drinks.


CUT TO:

INT. HYPERION – NIGHT

Wesley and Gunn walk in to the Hyperion to see Illyria dressed in some of Wesley’s clothes and her hair tied back in a ponytail.

ILLYRIA
I don’t feel any different.

WESLEY
Illyria...

ILLYRIA
I’m dressed like a man but I do not feel like one or want to.

GUNN
What is this all about?

ILLYRIA
The 2 half-breeds met 2 gender confused males and became accustomed to their absurd behavior. In my quest to further my understanding of your inferior race I decided to try the same thing.

Gunn and Wes take this all in.

GUNN
So let me get this straight. Angel and Spike are dressed like women? Why?

WESLEY
(understanding)
Ah!

GUNN
What?

WESLEY
The woman who called here for an appointment did sound rather emasculate. Its possible that he was a drag queen.

GUNN
What was his problem?

WESLEY
Disappearances.

ILLYRIA
Angel said something about portals.

WESLEY
Are you sure?

ILLYRIA
Of course I am!

WESLEY
We must go then.

GUNN
Nuh uh. I’m not going to some drag club! Count me out.

WESLEY
I’ll call first. Hopefully they won’t ask for our help.

GUNN
Tell him to call you if he needs you to look something up. Tell him you’re researching or something just don’t make me dress in drag!

WESLEY
Illyria, where are the girls?

GUNN
Yeah, the girls should go! Not me! Not us!

ILLYRIA
Fortunately for you, they already went to watch Angel and Spike work.

WESLEY
That’s good then. We’ll call the girls and tell them to let us know if they need us to look up something.

GUNN
Thank you, thank you.


CUT TO:

INT – WENDY’S WATERING HOLE – NIGHT

Angel, Spike and Penelope walk back into the club. They stand in the corner next to the stage and scope out the crowd.

SPIKE
Have you noticed anyone new in the crowd since the disappearances have started?

PENELOPE
No. But I’ve never seen that Jessica Simpson over there.

Spike looks over to where she was talking about and sees that she was talking about Harmony.

SPIKE
Oh balls.

ANGEL
What is it?

SPIKE
That’s not your demon. That’s Harmony.

PENELOPE
She’s a vampire too, isn’t she?

SPIKE
How did you know?

PENELOPE
Lucky guess.

ANGEL
What are they doing here? Nina can’t see me like this!

SPIKE
She’s already seen you like that, mate. So what do we do now, hide or go say hello?

ANGEL
We’re working. We keep working.

Spike waves, and the girls wave back.

ANGEL (CON’T)
Or we say hello.

Emma walks up to Penelope

EMMA
You’re on in 5, Ms. Monroe. And we have a few birthdays tonight too.


INT. BACKSTAGE HALLWAY - NIGHT

Penelope goes backstage.

PENELOPE
(to herself)
He made me lose an earring!

We see Emma walk outside to where they were earlier. Penelope notices light coming through the window.

PENELOPE
Hey, guys!

Angel and Spike go to see what she called them for.

They look out the door’s window to see what’s happening.


THEIR P.O.V.

They see Emma holding his stomach very sweaty and glowing. Then a portal opens and Emma looks like he’s trying to close it. While it’s open, the people in the alley fall into the portal.

ANGEL
You got weapons?


EXT – ALLEY – NIGHT

Angel and Spike rush out there once the portal is closed and pummel Emma.

ANGEL
You gonna explain what just happened here?

EMMA
What are you talking about?

SPIKE
The portal, the big glowy vacuum thing that just swallowed 4 people!

EMMA
I can’t help it! They want me back!

ANGEL
Who?

EMMA
My people in Acirema.

SPIKE
So why don’t you go back there?

EMMA
Because it’s boring! There are beavers everywhere and there’s no beauty!

PENELOPE
When you said “my people”...

EMMA
I’m their leader.

SPIKE
Their queen?

ANGEL
You have to go back.

EMMA
Why should I?

ANGEL
Your being here is causing an imbalance. That’s why the portals keep opening up.

PENELOPE
And if you go back, the people that went in your place should return.

SPIKE
Really?

PENELOPE
It makes sense to me.

ANGEL
Either you go voluntarily, or I crush both your knee-caps so you stay right here and wait for the next portal to open.

Emma takes this in and Angel steps back. A portal opens and swallows Emma. A bright flash lights the alley, and when the light dies down there are about 40 people in the alley. Spike gives Angel a “How do we explain this?” look, but Penelope is way ahead of him.

PENELOPE
Oh! I found my earring! Thanks for helping me look, we can all go back inside now.

SPIKE
Yeah.

ANGEL
Great work everyone.


CUT TO:

INT. HYPERION LOBBY – NIGHT

Everyone that was at the club walks in to find Gunn, Wesley and Illyria.

WESLEY
How was your night?

GUNN
You guys look RIDICULOUS.

SPIKE
What’s wrong Charlie-boy, not enough of a man to dress like a lady?

GUNN
No, I just have way way too much pride.

ANGEL
Spike met a girl.

WESLEY
Really? Are you sure she’s a girl?

SPIKE
Yeah. She’s a slayer

HARMONY
Typical, typical Spike.

WESLEY
So the portal...

ANGEL
Taken care of. So, I think we can call it a night. My feet are killing me.

NINA
C’mon, it’s not that bad.

ANGEL
It’s not as bad as the tights.

GUNN
Get a room.

NINA
Good idea. Lets go give each other facials.

ANGEL
Very funny.

Everyone leaves the lobby and goes their own direction. Spike stays in the lobby a little longer, then the phone rings.

SPIKE
I got it
(picks up the phone)
Hello?

PENELOPE
Hey.

SPIKE
Hey?

PENELOPE
It’s Penelope. Wendy told me where you worked.

SPIKE
It’s kind of late.

PENELOPE
I know, I just wanted to give you my number since you didn’t ask for it at the club.

SPIKE
That would be nice.

Spike continues his conversation and the camera zooms out.
