ACT ONE
INT. BAR – NIGHT
Spike and Lorne sit at a bar, with beers in their hands. Illariya stands behind them. A TV plays a soccer game above the bar.
Spike: I'm telling ya Lorne, It don't get any better than this. A brew in your hand and Manchester United on the tele.
Lorne: How bout a Seabreaze and American Idol.
Spike: (Looks At Lorne strangely) Different strokes for different folks. (takes a drink)
Lorne: I hope Angel gets back soon, I just wanna get outta here and take care of this whole mess.
Spike: say, where is fearless leader anyway?
Lorne: In the back on the phone with the airports. He's trying to score us a ride outta here.
Spike: Oh that should work nicely. Ya know, seeing as how we don't have any money.
Lorne: We could rob a bank.
Spike: Yeah, I haven't done that since I ran with Al Capone in the twenties.
Lorne: You ran with Al Capone?
Spike: Who old Scarface? Yeah. Those were good times. Robbin Banks, Knockin off liquor stores, collecting protection money. (Sighs) Good times. (takes a drink)
INT. BAR – THE BACK
Angel is talking on a pay phone.
Angel: What about.... Yeah but.... Look I know I don't have any money but I'm a hero for Christ's sake can't you just- Hello?
He slams the phone back on the hook.
Angel: Damn!
He walks back toward the bar. The camera pans over to a table in the corner. Sitting at the table is Faith and Robin Wood. They are looking over blueprints.
Robin: Well, what if we come in here?
Faith: No, no good, they'll have too many guards here.
Robin: Yeah but if we go in the other way we take the risk of setting off the alarm. We do that and more than too many guards come running in to rip us to shreds.
Faith: Not if we use this.
She takes out a small box and puts it on the table.
Robin: What's that?
Faith: A spell. Willow whipped a few up before we left. Just in case we got into trouble.
Robin: Just in case? When have you not gotten into trouble?
Faith: Just what I told her. What fun is it if there's no trouble?
Robin: That's my girl.
Faith: Don't you know it baby.
They lean in and kiss wildly.
Robin: So what's this particular spell do?
Faith: Takes out magical alarm systems.
Robin: Perfect, so we can go in that way.
Faith: Right, only problem is once were inside we'll have to take out like fifty or so demons.
Robin: We should call for backup.
Faith: No way, No time. They're gonna kill her tonight. We gotta get in there like now.
Robin: Maybe we can find some mercenaries or something for hire.
Faith: We need people we can trust, not a bunch of thugs who'd sell us out for couplea bucks.
Robin: Well, we need to think of something.
INT. BAR
Spike and Lorne are still drinking at the bar. Angel comes over.
Spike: So how goes the getting us to Rome thing?
Angel: Ya know, I've helped save the world a lot, you'd think I could get some free airline tickets or something as a reward.
Spike: Want me to try? After all, I did take out the Hellmouth.
Angel: Shut up Spike.
Lorne: As much as I'd like to stay here and drink all day, and believe me I really would, we need to get to Rome. SO come on people let's think.
Angel: Okay, maybe we could call David Nabbit and ask him to wire us some money.
Spike: Oh yeah, he'll be real happy to help after you tell him what happened to his plane.
Angel: You got a better idea?
The Camera cuts to the door of the bar. Two big dragon like demons enter the bar and start looking around the crowd. The first demon points to Faith.
Demon 1: There she is.
The two demons go through the crowd pushing aside people in the way till they get to Faith.
Demon 2: Slayer.
Faith and Robin stand up. Robin reflexively takes a stake out of his Jacket . Faith pulls out a dagger.
Faith: Well if it ain't the ugly boys. What's up sceeth?
Sceeth: You may have bested us last time slayer, but you won't get a second shot. Galek says you Die!
Faith: Faith says, you first.
Faith punches the demon in the head. The demon punches her back. Robin jumps over the table and leaps onto the second demon. Faith kicks the demon in the chest and he fumbles backwards. Robin has the demon on it's back. He punches the demon and then drives his stake through it's heart. He gets up to help faith when the demon tackles him. Faith swings her knife at the other demon who swats it away. The knife flies across the bar.
The camera cuts to spike, Lorne, and Angel at the bar. Illaryia stands behind them.
Spike: All I'm sayin is we could use the cash.
Angel: and all I'm saying is it's illegal.
Spike: We'll be in and out before anyone notices. Come on!
Angel: No. Now shut up and let me think. I'm in charge, I'll think of something.
Spike: (Sarcastic) Oh please, Somebody kill me now. OWE!
Spike howls in pain and reaches behind his back. He pulls out the knife now covered in his blood. He turns toward the fight.
Spike: Hey! I wasn't serious!
The camera cuts back to the fight. Faith lays several punches to the demon's skull who staggers back into spike. Spike Grabs the demon.
Spike: See how you like it.
He plunges the knife into the demon's back. The demon howls and throws spike across the bar. Faith Kicks the demon Hard in the chest. The demon goes to attack when angel steps in and side kicks it. The demon turns to Angel and punches. Angel Ducks and comes back with hard punch to the face. The demon goes back into Faith who grabs the demon's head and snaps his neck. The second demon is beating on Robin, who is holding his own. Illaryia comes over and pushes Robin out of the way.
Illariya: Stand aside.
The demon punches her hard in the face. She barely feels it. She punches the demon back repeatedly. The demon goes to grab her. She steps out of it's way and around to it's back. She grabs it's neck and rips it's head off. By now the bar is empty and Spike has gotten up and is walking over.
Spike: Well that was a jolly good romp.
Everyone takes notice of each other.
Faith: Spike?
Spike: Faith?
Robin: (Angry) Spike.
Spike: (Angry) Wood.
