Narrator:
Angel's back in Vegas...
We open with a shot of Angel cruisnig down the Vegas Strip in the Angelmobile.
Cut to a shot of the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" sign, then we see a shot of the Stardust, the Riviera, and Circus Circus.
Cut to an interior scene, where we see Angel, Fred, and Gun standing in a room or hallway or corridor, surrounded by a bunch of people as though they are waiting in line or something. In the foreground is a woman we'll see later. She just looks as though she is waiting to get in. The gang are talking to each other.
Gunn:
"You knew the Rat Pack?"
Angel:
"I met 'em. "
Quick cut to a closer shot of the gang.
Angel:
"Once."
Flash cut to a showgirl who is standing in a hotel room or hallway. She is wearing a pair of fake red horns on her head, as though she is playing a demon or something in a review.
The shot freezes on the woman, and a graphic similar to the
Ocean's Eleven
advertising campaign kicks in. We see the shot of the girl converted to a black and white photograph played against a red background.
Narrator:
The sin....
Big large letters "THE SIN" appear next to the photograph of the girl.
We zoom back into live action on the girl, as she turns towards her right and reacts to something charging her.
Girl in red horns:
"Aieee!"
We pan to the right of the girl, and we see that Lorne is attacking her with a liquor or seltzer bottle, bringing it down with a clubbing motion. Lorne is wearing a purple coat with orange trim.
Cut to a different shot of Lorne in the same outfit. This time, he in on stage, holding a microphone. Behind him some scantily-clad showgirls, all wearing fake horns, are parading down a set of steps.
The shot freezes on Lorne, and he gets the
Ocean's Eleven
treatment. This time, his black and white shot is framed against a blue background.
Narrator
The lust...
Big large letters "THE LUST" appear in frame next to Lorne's picture.
We pan back to Lorn'es left to reveal more of the show girls.
Lorne:
"Hey! Strut it, girls!"
Cut to a few close ups of the show girls walking across the stage, with a decided emphasis on just their bodies.
Then we cut to my favorite shot. We see an extreme close up of Angel's head, as we see Angel standing ina large room filled with slot machines. Angel has what only can be described as a dopey look on his face.
Angel gets the graphics treatment. His head shot is framed against a green background.
Narrator:
The greed...
Large "THE GREED" letters appear next to Angel's mugshot.
Zoom back out to Angel standing in the slot room, as we see that he is staring at something.
Reverse to reveal that he is staring at the wheels of a quarter slot machine. We don't get to see what the slot combination ends up with.
Lorne (VO):
"You lose here, you don't get it back."
Fade to a shot of the woman seen earler standing in front of the gang, as she spins the slot machine. The woman looks as though she is going to faint.
Cut to black.
Cut to a shot of Angel clobbering somebody with a right hook.
Cut to a reverse angle of the shot, where we see that Angel is outside an establishment, beating up somebody wearing something similar to a waiter's uniform.
Cut to a third shot, where we see Angel deliver a power kick to another somebody how approached him from behind while he was beating up the first guy. It looks like the second attacker may be a demon of some kind.
Narrator:
In a casino where destinies are on the table...
Cut a different scene, an interior, perhaps a parking garage. In the foreground of the shot, we see the fake red horns that the earlier girl was wearing, laying on the concrete floor. We see three pairs of legs running away from the horns (and the camera) towards a door at the end of the hallway. The front pair of legs appears to be one of the showgirls. The pair of legs on the left belong to someone wearing dark green pants and a billowy green coat. The pair of legs on the right belong to somebody wearing black pants (can't tell the material).
Cut to a shot of the showgirl (san horns) turn and look up to somebody holding aa gun to her face.
Flash cut to a close up of Angel, presumably in the same interior that the red-horned girl was in in her first shot.
Cut to a shot of two gentleman talking. To the left if a man, dressed in a very nice suit, who looks similar to Gunn. Seated next to him is some middle-aged guy.
Other guy:

Suit guy:
"With a soul."
Cut to a shot of the Other guy, flipping a casino chip to...
Angel, who we see in a reverse shot. Angel catches the chip and looks at it.
Cut to a shot of a spinning roulette wheel.

One bet could cost - an eternity.

Narrator:
Next Tuesday, on an all-new
Buffy....
We open on a shot inside a classroom, where we see Xander talking to Anya in her demon guise. We are looking from behind Xander. The camera pans to the right and focuses in on Anya, who brings her arm back as though to hit Xander.
We cut to a different shot and location, presumably Anya's apartment, where we see Anya, again in demon guise, clock Buffy with a backhand to the jaw. This is probably at night. Buffy is wearing a black leather coat. The shot cuts to a different angle where we see Buffy flying backwards from the blow.
Narrator:
Anya's had a 1200-year career as a world-class vengence demon.
A graphic "1200 YEAR CAREER" flashes across the screen, then we cut to...
An outdoors day location shot, where we see Anya standing next to D'Hoffryn. Anya has long black hair in this shot and looks vaguely gypsy-ish.
Cut to a shot of some men in animal skins running away from the camera, again in an outdoors day location shot. There might be a horned Viking helmet on the ground in this shot, which might indicagte that this is from the beginning of Anya's vengence career.
Flash cut to an interior shot, where we see someone caught on fire running through an extravagently appointed dining room, say 17th century France, perhaps.
Cut to a shot of Anya, seated and wearing fancy clothes. (Transcriber's note: I have no idea what era these clothes come from. To me, it really looks like something from the 1920's. Anya has a white feather in her (black) hair. We'll see). Anya is talking to another woman seated to her left.
Narrator:
Will it all end here?
Quick cut to Buffy in a black sleeveless top, standing in a classroom, then flash cut to Buffy seated in her couch, wearing the same top. A cut or red welt or scratch can be seen running along her left collar bone.
Buffy:
"I have to kill Anya."
Cut back to Anya's apartment, where we pick up on the scene where Anya, in demon makeup, is fighting Buffy. We first see a close up of Anya talking.
Anya:
"Are there any friends of yours left that you haven't tried to kill?"
Cut to a long shot where we see Buffy charge towards Anya, then cut to an angle behind Any where we see that Buffy is bringing a sword up to attack her.
Buffy swings the sword, then we cut to an angle behind Buffy where we see that Anya ducks the blade.
Buffy recovers from the miss, and thrusts the sword forward.
We cut to a side angle, where we see Buffy bringing her right elbow backwards into Anya's back and pushing Anya into a wall behind her.
Buffy wheels around and brings the sword forward in a thrust.
We reverse the angle to see Anya with her back to the wall and her arms raised up.
Cut to a shot of Buffy bringing the sword higher up.
Narrator:
Shall we leave you in suspense?
Cut to a close up of Anya's chest as the sword stops right at the surface of the body.
Narrator:
Or get to the point?
The moment pauses, then the sword plunges further into Anya's chest.
The camera pans up to Anya's face as she screams in pain.
Anya:
"Aaagh!"
Cue the
Buffy

Narrator:
That's just the beginning of an all-new
