notes: Somebody told me I went too easy on Riley in my version of "I Will Survive," so this was born. Really, this must be a first...Whoever heard of a sequel to a filk?

to the tune of: "I'll Never Tell," and let me tell you, I have a new appreciation for Joss Whedon. (no, not really. I've had this appreciation ever since I *heard* "I'll Never Tell." I didn't need to try to write it in order to tell it was difficult to do to so.) I think this turned out even better than my first Riley-bashing filk.

spoilers: to "Into the Woods"
disclaimer: The song and the characters belong to Joss. All hail.
feedback: Beg? Who, me? Well...yeah.


Die, Riley, Die II - The Sequel
by lucyolsen

***

(Riley and Buffy are both standing. Buffy has a whip.)

BUFFY:
This is the man
That I plan
To mangle.
Isn't he swine?

My claim of woe
Is he went to a ho.
Vengeance is mine!

(The camera follows Buffy as she walks, so Riley is now off-screen.)

His pants split when he sits. (Off-screen ripping sound)
His penis chopped to tiny bits. (Off-screen screaming)
His hair cursed full of nits. (Off-screen sounds of scratching)
Die, Riley, die.

(Buffy walks back so she and Riley are on-screen together, keeping the camera above Riley's waist.)

RILEY:
I betrayed Buff.
Says I can't suff-
er enough.
I'm being tort -ack! (Buffy has whipped Riley.)

Cold in the day,
As I pray,
She won't pay
Me back! Pay me back!

She'll never let me go.
The pain I know can only grow.
But there may be one way-

BUFFY:
No! Die, Riley, die!
Because you deserve to die...

He screams,
I'm happy

RILEY:
I'm feelin' kinda crappy.

BUFFY:
If he tries to pull crap he-
'll have pain I prescribe.

Riley cut cheeses.
He never knew what pleases,
So his dick'll get diseases,
From a Chumash tribe!

RILEY:
The jibes get kinda painful.

And she thinks that I'm complainful.
And for her my pain is gainful.

BUFFY:
'Cause I'm really quite disdainful-

(Riley is loosing consciousness, Buffy slaps him hard across the face)

Wake up! I need you alert,
'Cause God knows I want you hurt!

BUFFY:
When he was sad, he
Got sucked on by a baddy.
And because I was mad, he
Was forced to leave the show.

RILEY:
She thinks, kick-ass chicks,
Don't need to share with their hicks.
She never-

BUFFY:
My Mom was real sick!

RILEY:
This is my verse, hello?
She-

(Buffy breaks out into dance.)

BUFFY:
Look at me! I'm dancing crazy!

(After a few moments, Riley begins to imitate her...badly. Blood spatters on walls with every kick.)

BUFFY & RILEY:
You know...

RILEY:
You're quite the harmer.

BUFFY:
You stupid farmer.

RILEY:
You're the cutest of my exes,
With your torture and your hexes.

BUFFY:
Hernias the size of Texas. (Riley grimaces in pain)

-I'll pay you back!

(They begin to dance again, and during a particularly spinny move, Riley's index finger falls off. They eventually end up on opposite ends of the room, Riley leaning against the wall for support.)

BUFFY:
He revolts.

RILEY:
I repel her.

BUFFY:
He'll never be my feller.

RILEY:
I'm in pain and I'll tell her,
'Cause I have no pride.

BUFFY:
I know, he's dyin'.
And I'm not really cryin'.
Screw laws. This's justifyin'.
So I will not abide!

BUFFY & RILEY:
I lied.
I said it's easy.
I've tried,
But there's these fears I can't deny.

BUFFY:
My boyfriend's skin is kinda cold.

RILEY:
Will I be tortured 'til I've gotten old?

BUFFY:
Will I ever run out of ways,
To make that bastard Riley pay?

RILEY:
When she's bored with the torture,
Will Spike be here to coach her?

Am I dyin'?

BUFFY:
I am killin',
And my victim's far from willin'.
And this is all real fulfillin',
'Cause it is my ex-guy.
So thank God, Riley will die!
I swear that, Riley will die!

RILEY:
I'm feelin' faint.

BUFFY:
That's of the good.

RILEY:
I think I'm toast.
Call 911.

BUFFY:
Die, Riley...Die!

(Riley keels over, dead. Buffy falls backwards onto her couch, giggling.)
