WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER...
[ Paramedic ] YOUR MOTHER'S DEAD.
SHE JUST WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME.
OH, GOD.
AT LEAST, I DON'T THINK SHE DOES.
I'M NOT REAL.
YOU'RE THE KEY.
GO! BEFORE SHE FINDS YOU.
SHE'S HERE.
BUFFY, YOU'RE HERE.
- YOU ALL RIGHT? - YEAH.
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING?
THIS ONE.
[ Man ] IT'S A FINE CHOICE.
IT SPEAKS OF YOUR DEEP FEELING FOR THE DECEASED.
YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
NO. IT'S NOT THAT.
IT'S JUST...
WHAT IF MOM--
WHAT IF SHE'D LIKE SOMETHING ELSE BETTER?
DAWN. I MEAN, HOW DO WE KNOW FOR SURE?
SHE'S THE ONE WHO HAS TO BE IN IT FOREVER.
DAWN, MAYBE IT WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA, YOU COMING ALONG.
IT'S FINE.
IT'S JUST--
I'M SERIOUS. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS STUFF.
IF YOU'D LIKE A FEW MORE MINUTES TO DECIDE--
NO. IT'S DONE. IT'S FINE.
OKAY?
OKAY.
[ Giles ] THE PRICES OF DIFFERENT FLORISTS...
AND THE FUNERAL HOME SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMPETITIVE.
LET'S JUST GO WITH THAT. IT'S SIMPLER. SURE.
WHAT COLOR FLOWERS?
UH, WHITE. THEY'RE NICE. YEAH.
WHAT ABOUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT?
PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE EXPECTING A WAKE AFTER THE BURIAL UNLESS WE SAY SOMETHING.
UM, WELL, WE COULD PUT A LINE IN THE PROGRAM...
EXPRESSING YOUR MOTHER'S PREFERENCE NOT TO HAVE ONE.
- THERE'S NO WAKE? - MOM DIDN'T LIKE THEM.
SHE SAID THAT POTLUCKS ARE DEPRESSING ENOUGH AS IT IS.
SHE SAID THAT? WHEN?
UH, RIGHT BEFORE SHE WENT IN FOR THE OPERATION.
WE HAD A TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTED, IN CASE--
SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO ME.
I'M SURE SHE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET YOU, DAWNSTER.
NOW, YOU BETTER GET WORKIN' ON THAT DINNER. YOU BARELY TOUCHED IT.
YOU REALLY SHOULD EAT SOMETHING.
WHY SHOULD I? YOU'RE NOT.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT-- [ Phone Ringing ]
[ Sighs ] I'M ALL PHONED OUT. WILL YOU?
OH, UNLESS IT'S MY DAD. OF COURSE.
HELLO?
YES. YES, THEY DID. THANK YOU.
UM, THE FUNERAL IS AT 3:00 TOMORROW.
DO YOU KNOW THE BROWN BROTHERS MORTUARY?
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE STILL HASN'T CALLED.
YOUR DAD'S STILL AWOL, HUH?
THE NUMBER HE LEFT FOR US IN SPAIN IS NO GOOD,
AND I'VE LEFT MESSAGES EVERYWHERE.
HOW 'BOUT A LINE THAT JUST SAYS, "FOLLOWING THE BURIAL, THERE'LL BE NO WAKE"--
OR GATHERING?
"AT THE REQUEST OF JOYCE, THERE WILL BE NO GATHERING"?
THAT SOUNDS LAME.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? AFTER, I MEAN.
ARE WE JUST GONNA COME BACK HERE?
I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS SO.
UM, HOW ABOUT, "AT THE REQUEST OF THE FAMILY, THERE WILL BE NO WAKE."
- GOOD. YEAH. IT'S GOT FLOW. - I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE.
WHERE DOES IT GO? DO YOU PUT IT AT THE TOP, OR, LIKE, A SMALL LINE AT THE BOTTOM?
- CAN I GO TO YOUR PLACE TOMORROW? - TOMORROW?
- AFTER EVERYTHING? - UM, WELL, MAYBE YOU AND BUFFY SHOULD--
I-I DON'T MIND. CAN I?
- HUH? - CAN I GO TO WILLOW'S TOMORROW AFTER THE SERVICE?
UH, IF YOU WANT TO.
I GUESS SO.
I'LL GET MY SLEEPING BAG OUT OF THE ATTIC.
YOU GOIN' HOME? I'M GONNA STOP BY MY MOM'S FIRST.
BEEN DOING THAT A LOT LATELY.
YEAH. ACTUALLY, I MIGHT STOP BY YOUR MOM'S, TOO.
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO MY PLACE. THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARY.
SPEAKING OF...
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
[ Sighs ] I'M NOT GOING IN.
AND YOU'RE NOT LEAVING THOSE.
YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU'RE GONNA SCORE POINTS WITH BUFFY THIS WAY?
- THIS ISN'T ABOUT BUFFY. - BULL.
WE'RE ALL HIP TO YOUR DOOMED OBSESSION.
THEY'RE FOR JOYCE. LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT HER.
GUYS. GUYS, NOT HERE. [ Sighs ]
CARE? JOYCE WAS THE ONLY ONE OF THE LOT OF YOU THAT I COULD STAND.
AND SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WITH A DAUGHTER YOU WANTED TO SHAG. I'M TOUCHED.
I LIKED THE LADY.
YOU UNDERSTAND, MONKEY BOY? SHE WAS DECENT.
SHE DIDN'T PUT ON AIRS.
SHE ALSO HAD A NICE CUPPA FOR ME.
AND SHE NEVER TREATED ME LIKE A FREAK.
HER MISTAKE. [ Scoffs ]
- THINK WHAT YOU WANT. - UNBELIEVABLE.
THE GUY THINKS HE CAN PUT ON A BIG SHOW AND CON BUFFY INTO BEING HIS SEX MONKEY.
XANDER...
HE DIDN'T LEAVE A CARD.
[ Man ] WE COMMEND TO ALMIGHTY GOD...
OUR SISTER, JOYCE SUMMERS.
AND WE COMMIT HER BODY TO THE GROUND.
EARTH TO EARTH...
ASHES TO ASHES...
AND DUST TO DUST.
THE LORD BLESS HER AND KEEP HER.
THE LORD MAKES HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON HER AND BE GRACIOUS TO HER.
THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON HER...
AND GIVE HER PEACE.
HEY. UM, DAWN'S KIND OF READY TO GO.
CAN WE TAKE HER WITH US? YEAH.
SHE SHOULD PROBABLY GET OUT OF HERE.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? WE CAN WAIT IF YOU WANT.
I'M FINE. THANK YOU.
I'M SORRY. I COULDN'T COME SOONER.
OH, DAWN. I WISH I COULD HELP MORE.
THE ONLY THING IS IT'LL GET BETTER, I PROMISE.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. SURE SHE DOES.
WE'RE WITCHES. WE KNOW STUFF.
WHAT?
LIFE GOES ON, AND I FORGET MOM?
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
NOT FORGET. NO. YOU--
YOU MAKE A PLACE FOR HER IN YOUR HEART.
IT'S SORT OF LIKE SHE BECOMES A PART OF YOU.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
[ Willow ] DAWN?
HEY, WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS NOW.
YOU COULD JUST GO TO SLEEP.
NO. I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP.
OKAY. WE CAN JUST SIT OR WHATEVER YOU WANT.
GOOD, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO NOW.
GREAT. WHAT ARE YOU UP FOR?
YOU GUYS ARE WITCHES,
AND YOU DO MAGIC AND STUFF.
YOU WANT US TO TEACH YOU SOMETHING,
UH, LIKE A GLAMOUR?
OR I COULD MAKE A STUFFED ANIMAL DANCE.
I WANT TO DO A SPELL.
I WANT TO BRING MOM BACK.
MMM. [ Sighs ]
THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
YEAH, IT WAS MORE INTENSE.
- IT'S BECAUSE OF JOYCE. - RIGHT--
HUH? WELL, SHE GOT ME THINKING...
ABOUT HOW PEOPLE DIE ALL THE TIME,
AND HOW THEY GET BORN TOO,
AND HOW YOU KIND OF NEED ONE SO YOU CAN HAVE THE OTHER.
WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY,
IT MAKES DEATH A LITTLE LESS SAD...
SEX A LITTLE MORE EXCITING.
AGAIN, I SAY, HUH?
WELL, I JUST THINK I UNDERSTAND SEX MORE NOW.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT TWO BODIES SMOOSHING TOGETHER.
IT'S ABOUT LIFE.
IT'S ABOUT MAKING LIFE.
RIGHT. WHEN TWO PEOPLE ARE MUCH OLDER...
AND WAY RICHER AND FAR LESS STUPID.
BREATHE. YOU'RE TURNING COLORS.
I'M NOT READY TO MAKE LIFE WITH YOU,
BUT I COULD.
WE COULD.
LIFE COULD COME OUT OF OUR LOVE AND OUR SMOOSHING,
AND THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT ALL MAKES ME FEEL LIKE WE'RE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER,
LIKE I'M MORE AWAKE SOMEHOW.
YOU KNOW?
YEAH, I DO.
OF COURSE YOU WANT TO BRING YOUR MOTHER BACK,
AND I WISH WE COULD, BUT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
WHY?
YOU GUYS DO MAGIC FOR ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
WE DO, BUT-- THIS IS DIFFERENT.
MAGIC CAN'T BE USED TO ALTER THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS.
BUT ALL YOU DO IS MESS WITH THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS.
YOU MAKE THINGS FLOAT AND DISAPPEAR AND--
BUT WE DON'T MESS WITH LIFE AND DEATH.
- DAWN, I KNOW HOW BAD YOU HURT. - YOU DON'T.
THEY PUT HER IN THE GROUND.
THEY DID, AND IT'S AWFUL AND UNFAIR,
BUT THIS ISN'T THE WAY.
[ Willow ] I'M NOT EVEN SURE IT'S POSSIBLE, DAWN.
I MEAN, I'VE SEEN THINGS ON RESURRECTION BUT--
THERE'S BOOKS AND STUFF.
I GUESS THE SPELLS... BACKFIRE?
THAT'S NOT THE POINT. THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
THE POINT IS IT'S BAD, BECAUSE--
BECAUSE WITCHES CAN'T BE ALLOWED TO ALTER THE FABRIC OF LIFE FOR SELFISH REASONS.
WICCANS TOOK AN OATH A LONG TIME AGO TO HONOR THAT.
SO IT'S POSSIBLE... TO BRING SOMEONE BACK.
THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN AN OATH IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY COULD DO IT.
MAYBE THEY COULD, BUT WE CAN'T.
SHE'S RIGHT, DAWN. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO HELP ME.
DAWN.
[ Buffy ] THE FUNERAL WAS--
IT WAS BRUTAL.
BUT IT'S TOMORROW THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
WHAT'S TOMORROW?
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DON'T KNOW.
UP UNTIL NOW, I'VE HAD A ROAD MAP,
THINGS TO DO EVERY MINUTE,
HAVING TO DO WITH MOM.
TOMORROW, THE STUFF OF EVERYDAY LIVING RESUMES.
AND EVERYBODY EXPECTS ME TO KNOW HOW TO DO IT...
BECAUSE I'M "SO STRONG."
YOU JUST NEED SOME TIME.
I'M SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT.
TIME'S NOT THE ISSUE.
I CAN STICK WOOD IN VAMPIRES,
BUT MOM WAS THE STRONG ONE IN REAL LIFE.
SHE ALWAYS KNEW HOW TO MAKE THINGS BETTER,
JUST WHAT TO SAY.
YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY.
I MEAN, NOT ALL AT ONCE, BUT--
I DON'T KNOW.
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT--
WHEN I FOUND HER.
IF I HAD JUST GOTTEN THERE 10 MINUTES EARLIER.
YOU SAID THEY TOLD YOU IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE.
THEY SAID PROBABLY...
IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE.
THE EXACT THING THEY SAID WAS "PROBABLY."
I HAVEN'T TOLD THAT TO ANYONE.
DOESN'T MAKE IT YOUR FAULT.
COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT.
I DIDN'T EVEN START C.P.R. UNTIL THEY TOLD ME.
I FELL APART.
THAT'S HOW GOOD I AM AT BEING A GROWN-UP.
BUFFY--
AND IT'D BE OKAY IF IT WAS JUST ME I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT...
BUT DAWN-- IT'S OKAY.
YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT NOW, BUT YOU ARE STRONG, BUFFY.
YOU'RE GONNA FIGURE THIS OUT,
AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE TO HELP YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.
IT'S GONNA BE LIGHT SOON.
I CAN STAY IN TOWN AS LONG AS YOU WANT ME.
HOW'S FOREVER?
DOES FOREVER WORK FOR YOU?
THAT'S A BAD IDEA.
I'M SERIOUSLY NEEDY RIGHT NOW.
LET ME WORRY ABOUT THE NEEDINESS. I CAN HANDLE IT.
I TOLD YOU.
YOU BETTER GO.
[ Exhales ] I'M SORRY. NO.
I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU CAME, ANGEL.
I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.
WE STILL HAVE A FEW MORE MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE TO GO.
GOOD.
TELL MY SISTER I'M SICK OF RUNNING INTO HER JAWA REJECTS.
SHE BADE ME COME TO YOU.
THE NEWS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SLAYER--
WE DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP.
BUT YOU ATTEMPTED TO COURT HER, DID YOU NOT?
YOU'RE MORE FUN WHEN I HIT YOU.
IT'S JUST, GLORY WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE...
THIS INTEREST OF YOURS IN THE SLAYER.
IT MIGHT LEAD TO MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE KEY.
AND WHY WOULD I SHARE THAT WITH "THE MOST UNSTABLE ONE"?
TIME IS RUNNING SHORT, SIR.
EVERY MOMENT YOU FIGHT GLORY, YOU'RE ONLY FIGHTING YOURSELF, YOU SEE?
FINE. LET THE BEST ME WIN.
LET GLORY UNDERSTAND THIS-- I WON'T HELP HER FIND THE KEY.
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO AN INNOCENT-- "AN INNOCENT"?
THE KEY? THAT'S AN INTERESTING CHOICE OF WORDS.
NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT I-- I UNDERSTAND, SIR.
I'M SORRY TO HAVE BOTHERED YOU. I'LL TAKE MY LEAVE.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT? WHEN I SAID, IT'S INNOCENT,
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT THE KEY IS-- IT'S NOT A PERSON.
OF COURSE NOT. YOU'RE GONNA RUN AND TELL HER, AREN'T YOU?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE FINDS THE KEY?
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE? PLEASE. I HEARD NOTHING.
I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN. DON'T YOU SEE?
[ Grunts ]
I CAN'T.
WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO BREAKFAST.
- I'M NOT HUNGRY. - OH. OKAY.
IT'S JUST, WE HAVE CLASS AFTER THAT,
AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO GO HOME OR--
I WAS GONNA SLEEP SOME MORE.
GILES SAID HE'D PICK ME UP WHENEVER.
[ Willow ] OH. OKAY. GREAT.
SURE, UH, HANG OUT.
I HAVE A BREAK AROUND LUNCHTIME. I CAN COME BACK.
I MIGHT NOT BE HERE.
WELL, I'LL TRY MY LUCK.
TAKE CARE, DAWN.
"AGE OF LEVITATION.
"WAR OF THE WARLOCKS.
RESURRECTION-- A CONTROVERSY BORN."
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, DAWN. JUST-JUST RELAX.
YES. SIT DOWN.
WE HAVE SOME VERY AMUSING CHICKEN FEET YOU CAN PLAY WITH.
THAT'S OKAY. DON'T YOU WATCH TELEVISION?
I THOUGHT ALL CHILDREN DESPISE EFFORT AND ENJOY CARTOONS.
UM, I LIKE BEING USEFUL.
IT KEEPS MY MIND OFF THINGS.
THEN USEFUL YOU SHALL BE.
I COULD ALWAYS USE A HAND.
BUT YOU HAVE A HAND-- A PAID HAND.
- A HAND THAT ISN'T THE HAND OF THE ILLEGAL CHILD LABOR. - ANYA.
BUT, OF COURSE, IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU FIND DOING MY JOB...
SO DISTRACTING.
I AM UNTHREATENED. PROCEED.
YES. CARRY ON, DAWN.
IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW,
LIKE, UM, OFF-LIMITS STUFF?
WILLOW TOLD ME THAT SOME OF THE BOOKS AND THINGS ARE KIND OF DANGEROUS.
QUITE RIGHT.
THEY'RE ALL LABELED AND KEPT OFF THE FLOOR.
MOST OF OUR MORE POTENT TEXTS AND POTIONS ARE ALL UP THERE.
ANYONE ASKS YOU ABOUT ANYTHING IN THAT AREA, JUST COME AND GET ME.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE?
UM, WELL, IF YOU LIKE, I COULD TEACH YOU HOW TO WORK THE CASH REGISTER.
YOU CAN RING UP SALES. COOL.
RING UP SALES? WITH THE MONEY?
SHE GETS TO FONDLE THE MONEY?
[ Bell Tinkles ] CUSTOMER! HELLO, CUSTOMER.
I'LL JUST BE A MOMENT. [ Anya ] I'LL HELP YOU.
NO PROBLEM.
DAWN. UH-HUH.
DO YOU WANT TO COME WATCH THIS TRANSACTION THAT ANYA'S DOING?
- THEN I'LL LET YOU TRY. - YOU GOT IT.
I HOPE IT'S JUST DIRT YOU'RE AFTER.
IF THE SPELL CALLS FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT,
YOU'RE INTO ZOMBIE TERRITORY, AND THAT'S BAD NEWS.
SPIKE, I WASN'T--
I KNOW GOOD AND WELL WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.
THAT BOOK YOU'VE GOT IS INFAMOUS.
PLEASE. DON'T TELL BUFFY.
I JUST-- I HAVE TO GET HER BACK.
I HAVE TO.
I'M NOT GONNA TELL, LITTLE BIT.
I'M GONNA HELP.

I'VE NEVER USED THIS BLOKE'S SERVICES MYSELF, BUT THERE'S TALK.
WORD IS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT RESURRECTION SPELLS.

DO YOU NOW? ENLIGHTEN ME.
SPIKE, I'M NOT STUPID.
YOU'RE, LIKE, STALKING MY SISTER.
YOU'D DO ANYTHING TO GET IN GOOD WITH HER.
BUFFY NEVER HEARS ABOUT THIS, OKAY?
FOUND OUT WHAT I WAS DOING, SHE'D DRIVE A REDWOOD THROUGH MY CHEST.
THEN, IF YOU DON'T WANT CREDIT, WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME?
I JUST DON'T LIKE TO SEE SUMMERS WOMEN TAKE IT SO HARD ON THE CHIN IS ALL.
AND I'M DEAD SERIOUS. YOU BREATHE A WORD OF THIS TO BUFFY,
I'LL SEE TO IT THAT YOU END UP IN THE GROUND.
- YOU GOT IT? - YEAH.
GOT IT.

OH, NO, NO!

OH, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!

THE KEY? WHAT ABOUT THE KEY?
HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS A PERSON,
MOST... HIGHEST YOU.
THE KEY'S IN HUMAN FORM?
I BELIEVE SO... GOOD ONE.

AHH! JINX, YOU ROBED STUD, YOU'RE MY MAN!
I'M EVEN GONNA LET YOU SLIDE ON THE LAME TOADYING,
ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR DYING AND STUFF.
AH, SO, THE KEY'S ALL SECRETED AWAY...

THAT'S CRAZY, ISN'T IT? I MEAN,
I-I'D SWEAR YOU WERE THAT GUY.
I MEAN, YOUR HAIR'S A DIFFERENT COLOR, AND YOU'RE A VAMPIRE,
BUT O-OTHER THAN THAT--
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST GO.
NO. NOW, JUST BECAUSE THE LIGHTS ARE DIM,
DOESN'T MEAN THE JUICE IS ALL GONE.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
THIS ONE'S MUM KICKED IT A FEW DAYS BACK.
OH. I'M SO SORRY.
WE WERE WONDERING WHAT'S TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.
HEARD YOU WERE THE ONE TO ASK.
OH. NO. NO, THAT'S, UH--
YOU DON'T WANNA MESS WITH THAT.
I KNOW SOME TONICS.
YOU KNOW, MAKE THE GRIEVING FLY BY.
I DON'T WANT ANY TONICS.

GOT ANY EXPERIENCE WITH SPELLS OF THIS MAGNITUDE?

♪♪ [ Humming Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf ]
♪♪ [ Continues ]
I'VE GATHERED SOME INGREDIENTS,
BUT THE SPELL I FOUND--
THERE'S THINGS IN IT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WE'VE GOT THE GHORA DEMON STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND SUCCESS.
THAT'S THE TRANSLATION YOU WERE MISSING.
GHORA. I'VE HEARD OF THOSE. THEY LOCAL?
YEAH, THEY LIKE TO STICK CLOSE TO THE HELLMOUTH.
EGG OF THE GHORA GIVES LIFE. IT'S KEY TO THE SPELL.
CAN YOU BUY IT? THIS EGG, OR--
IF IT WAS AS EASY AS MAKING AN OMELET, EVERYONE WOULD TRY IT.
NO. YOU HAVE TO STEAL THE EGG...
FROM THE NEST OF THE DEMON.
AND THE GHORA WON'T BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
WHERE DO WE FIND THIS DEMON?
FIRST THINGS FIRST. WE'LL NEED AN IMAGE OF YOUR MOTHER.
- A PHOTO, A PAINTING-- - NO PROBLEM.
ONCE YOU GET ALL THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER,
PUT THEM IN THE CENTER OF A SACRED CIRCLE,
WITH THE PHOTO OF YOUR MOTHER.
THEN,
SAY THIS INCANTATION THREE TIMES.
SHE WON'T APPEAR, YOU KNOW, POOF.
IT'LL TAKE A WHILE.
BUT SHE WILL COME TO YOU.
GOT IT?
- GOT IT. - OH. ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
THE ONLY WAY TO REVERSE THE SPELL...
IS TO DESTROY THE IMAGE OF YOUR MOTHER, UNDERSTAND?
I'LL DO IT RIGHT.
IT'S A TRICKY SPELL, GIRL.
I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE YOUR MOTHER WILL COME BACK EXACTLY LIKE SHE WAS.
SOMETIMES THESE THINGS GET A LITTLE OFF.
BUT SHE'LL STILL BE MY MOTHER. WON'T SHE?
MORE OR LESS.
GOOD. GOOD.
AND THE GHORA?
OH, RIGHT. SORRY. UM,
GO IN THE SEWER ENTRANCE NEAR TRACY STREET.
THE OPENING'S ON THE LEFT.
CAN'T MISS IT. JUST FOLLOW THAT DOWN.
NO, NO. KEEP YOUR MONEY.
OH. THANK YOU.
YOU JUST KEEP IN TOUCH NOW.
LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.
[ Low Growl ]
I-I WILL.
IT'S HERE. JUST LIKE HE SAID.
SO, AT LEAST WE KNOW THE OLD COOT ISN'T COMPLETELY DAFT.
LOOK, YOU'D BETTER LET ME SNATCH THIS EGG THING ON MY OWN.
NO WAY. I'M GOING.
NO. YOU ARE NOT.
I'VE GOT NO IDEA WHAT'S DOWN THERE.
YOU NEED ME, SPIKE.
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GET THE EGG WHILE YOU DISTRACT THE GHORA.
NOW, COME ON.
