EXT. THE SUMMERS HOUSEHOLD - NIGHT (ESTABLISHING SHOT)
XANDER (O/S)
Okay, here's what I don't get.
INT. THE SUMMERS HOUSEHOLD - NIGHT
[We see the Scooby Gang, sans Anya of course, sitting around the living room.]
XANDER [cont'd]
How is Cordelia the Chosen One?
DAWN
Yeah, and the last time I saw her, her hair wasn't blonde either.
BUFFY
I don't know. Known of this makes any sense.
SPIKE
And that demon mentioned something about Wolfram & Hart. What's that?
DAWN
It sounds evil.
WILLOW
It sounds like a law firm.
XANDER
Same thing.
BUFFY
What does this Hase guy want with her anyway? Giles any idea?
GILES
None based on what I've been able to learn about him, but if I had to take a guess, I'd say an apocalypse isn't entirely out of the question.
BUFFY
Wouldn't surprise me. We've been saving the world on a weekly basis for over six years now.
XANDER
Yeah, but not usually in the summer, I mean, it always seems that these apocalyptic things happen right before it. The summer's usually three months of just run of the mill vamps and things.
BUFFY
Good point.
SPIKE
So, what are we gonna do?
[Music begins to play softly in the background.]
BUFFY
Simple.
[She stands up off the couch and begins to sing.]
BUFFY [cont'd]
We've got a brand new demon,
Bringing about doomsday,
Once again, the world's in danger,
[She looks around at her counterparts and shrugs nonchalantly.]
It must be Tuesday.
[The group all nods and stand up to sing too.]
ALL
Every week, there's a monster,
Or some sort of evil foe,
That puts us all in danger,
It's not a big deal, we know.
It's gotten old,
After so many years,
We've been through it all,
Been through the pain and tears.
So excuse us if we don't get worked up,
Over the impending doomsday,
We know the world's in danger,
So it must be Tuesday.
XANDER
We've been through it all.
GILES
Unexpected turns have been had.
SPIKE
Like when the bad turns good.
WILLOW
Or when the good turns bad.
ALL
We're really not that worried,
Been on a winning streak.
It seems the world's in danger,
Every single week.
So excuse if we're nonchalant,
About the impending doomsday.
Again the world's in trouble,
So it must be Tuesday.
DAWN
The battles have grown old.
WILLOW
And personal problems are our main concern.
SPIKE
More worried about love, than death.
GILES
'Cause we always know just where to turn.
ALL
Again the world is in danger,
We'll fight the fight and get it done.
Finish it in a few hours,
In time for the rising sun.
So excuse if we don't seem to care,
About the impending doomsday,
Evil threatens our little world,
So it must be Tuesday.
BUFFY & DAWN
It must be Tuesday.
SPIKE & GILES
It must be Tuesday.
WILLOW & XANDER
It must be Tuesday.
ALL
It must beeee Tuuuuuuuesdaaaaaaaay.
[The music ends and the gang flops back down in their chairs.]
WILLOW
We've really gotta work on that singing problem.
