"Reprise"
Written by: Doctor Strangelove
INT. HYPERION LOBBY - NIGHT
[Fred and Gunn are standing on opposite ends of the lobby, she's behind the counter and he's and the base of the stairs. A slow, ballet-like music begins the play and the two begin to move along with the music, gracefully, like dancers. Fred and Gunn do a complicated dance, very similar to a ballet, towards the center of the lobby, where the pentagram used to be. The finally come together, their hands clasped and then they sing.]
GUNN
Wesley and Connor.
FRED
Angel and Cordelia.
TOGETHER
Lorne and the Groosalugg too.
GUNN
Now they are goners.
FRED
So long, we'll see ya.
TOGETHER
Alone now, what do we do?
And it seems they all left in a hurry,
FRED
Left us here to wonder and worry.
GUNN
But I guess we'll do what we must.
TOGETHER
Kinda hard though, when it's just the two of us.
Just the two of us,
No one else around.
Just the two of us,
No one else in this town.
Just the two of us,
Everyone else is gone.
Just the two of us,
We'll have to get along.
[The break apart and go into a less complicated dance, the camera stays focused in the same spot, though, and the two move past it as the sing their lines.]
GUNN
So where did they go?
FRED
Where could they be?
GUNN
I just don't know.
FRED
I just can't see.
[The camera pans over to them on top of the counter, doing a little dance while they sing.]
TOGETHER
It seems like they couldn't wait,
To get the hell out of this place.
It was Sayonara or bust,
And now it's just the two of us.
Everyone that we've known,
GUNN
Gone and we're all alone.
FRED
Can't put up a fuss,
TOGETHER
When it's just the two of us.
[The two jump off the counter and begin to walk/dance their way over to the doors.]
Just the two of us,
Everyone else is gone.
Just the two of us,
We'll have to get along.
Just the two of us,
They might be dead.
Just the two of us,
It's just Gunn and Fred.
They've left us here,
Just the two of us.
But we'll keep up the cheer,
Even though, it's just the two of us.
[As the music comes to a big finish, Fred and Gunn are standing in front of the doors to the outside garden. They hold their last note and as it ends, the fall out the doors laughing. After a moment though, something starts to sink in.]
FRED
Charles?
GUNN
Yeah?
[She looks at him with a dead serious look on her face.]
FRED
I didn't know you knew ballet.
