Going Through The Motions
Open in Alister's bedroom, morning. The words "Once More, With Feeling" splash across the screen in the style of an old movie musical. Pan down to reveal an old-fashioned alarm clock (the kind with actual bells). The clock hits 7:00 and the alarm goes off.
Reveal Alister in bed, rolling over to glare at the clock. He reaches over, picks it up, looks at it.
Overture Starts
Begins with Valon walking across his bedroom, then he turns and goes back the way he came. Grabs a sweater from a chair and exits into the bathroom. As he goes, we see Joey making the bed. He finds the herb that Valon used to do the "forget" spell. Joey picks it up, sniffs it, smiles.
Pan to the hallway. Serenity runs out of her room and over to the bathroom door. She knocks on the door while jumping from foot to foot as if she has to pee. Valon comes out of the bathroom ruffling his hair. Serenity rushes into the bathroom.
Pan across the hallway again to reveal Alister still lying in bed, awake.
Cut to the magic shop. Overture music continues.Raphael and Marina are looking at a bridal magazine, smiling and talking (we don't hear their dialogue). A customer comes over and Marina escorts her toward the cash register.
Pan across to Serenity standing by the bookshelves looking at a book. Dartz comes over and takes the book away. Serenity looks annoyed.Dartz gestures with the book and she walks off.
Pan to the round table where we see Valon and Joey looking at a book together and taking notes. Pan further and we see Alister sitting next to Joey, sketching on a pad.
Dartz comes over and holds a large axe in Alister's line of sight. Then he gestures with his head toward the back and walks away. Alister puts down his sketch pad, gets up and follows Dartz toward the workout room, taking off his sweater as he goes.
End Overture.
Cut to the graveyard, night. Alister walks along, looking around. Suddenly he begins to sing!
ALISTER: (verse one)
Every single night, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
A vampire appears from behind a gravestone, rushes at Alister. He spins him around, continues singing.
ALISTER:
I've been making shows of [punch] trading blows
Just hoping no one knows [kick, grabs vampire and throws him behind him]
That I've been going through the motions
Walking through the part.
Alister pulls a stake from his jacket pocket. The vamp attacks him from behind and he stakes him without looking back.
BUFFY: Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
he resumes walking and singing.
ALISTER: (verse two)
I was always brave, and kind of righteous.
Now I find I'm wavering.
We see two vampires and a demon gathered near a tree. There's a person tied to the tree. The vampires see Alister and attack.
ALISTER:
Crawl out of your grave, you'll find this fight just [punches a vampire]
Doesn't mean a thing. [punches second vamp]
VAMP 1:
He ain't got that swing.
The vamp punches Alister and he goes down. A sword is stuck in the ground beside him. he lies there on his back. Sound of crickets chirping.
ALISTER: Thanks for noticing.
he continues lying there as the two vamps and the demon begin to do a dance.
VAMPS AND DEMON:
He does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell [Alister gets up and grabs the sword]
That he's just going through the motions
DEMON:
Going through the motions.
Alister pulls Vamp 1 away, cuts off his head with the sword.
VAMP 2: Faking it somehow. [Alister pushes him aside, stabs the demon]
DEMON: he's not even half the girl he- [looks down at his wound] ow.
The demon falls over. Alister continues walking, holding the sword.
ALISTER:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
he uses the sword to cut the ropes that are tying the person to a tree. The person comes around the tree trunk and we see it's a very good-looking man.
HANDSOME GUY:
How can I repay-
ALISTER:
Whatever.
he turns away, tosses the sword aside and continues walking.
ALISTER:
I don't want to beeeeee...
[walks up onto a raised platform ringed by statues, stops]
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just want to be-
Vamp 2 attacks him and he stakes him. He explodes into dust which forms an artful cloud, obscuring Alister from view, then clears as he sings the final word.
ALISTER: Aliiiiiive.
Reveal Alister in bed, rolling over to glare at the clock. He reaches over, picks it up, looks at it.
