Angel, whatever you're feeling right now, it's some form of enchantment.
(looks wistful) Yeah.
S4Shiny Happy People
Yes. In the beginning, before the time of man, great beings walked the earth. Untold power emanated from all quarters--the seeds of what would come to be known as good and evil. But the shadows stretched and became darkness, and the malevolent among us grew stronger. The earth became a demon realm. Those of us who had the will to resist left this place, but we remained ever-watchful.
FFred
(walks into the room) Well, I tried. (holds up a shirt) What do you think?
It looks brand new.
FFred
(cries) It is. I--I bought a new one.
Even better.
FFred
(crying) I know.
What's the matter? She'll love it.
FFred
I know, but she's not here.
She's just upstairs.
FFred
Yes, but, when she's not around, (sobs) I hurt.
S4The Magic Bullet
FFred
So, you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values, and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to little more than a mindless meat puppet?
SShopkeeper
Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid. I mean, don't get me wrong. I still got the implants in my head. C.I.A. is still listening in. It just doesn't bother me anymore. Instead, I--I beam Jasmine's love up to their satellite, you know? Share the love with those MK-Ultra bastards.
SShopkeeper
You want to fight fire with fire. Make sure the government and the other savages learn about Jasmine's love.
FFred
Exact-- (plays along) that's exactly right. Why should we be the only shiny, happy people?
SShopkeeper
We don't need to use the evil tools of (with air quotes) the man when we have (with air quotes) the wo-man. We need to trust that Jasmine's love will reach the rest of the world just like it reached us
FFred
Oh, happy day.
She's right. There's work to do here. We have a hotel full of people, people who have needs.
You know what they say about people who need people...
They're the luckiest people in the world.
You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, kiddo?
Just kinda popped out.
EWElderly Woman
I have 37 cats, and I've just changed all their names to Jasmine!
Tonight the Role of Judas Iscariot will be played by Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan.
S4Sacrifice
FRFemale Radio Announcer
And in an impromptu speech today, the mayor--I really love that guy, don't you?-- The mayor declared Los Angeles the first Citadel of Jasmine, a cradle of civilization which will usher in a new age for all of humanity. In related news, the L.A. Archdiocese has stated to the press that it will remove all false idols from its churches, replacing them with images of she who walks among us. Way to go, Catholic Church. Yes, it's a great day to be alive.
Well, talk about media bias. Well, not that I wanna talk about media bias. It seems rather moot right now. Speakin' of moot, what about us? Anyone else feel like the last feisty wife in Stepford?
So that's our big plan? Just keep running?
Oh, I hear some good things about Belize!
All right, f-fine. You loved her first.
MDMantis Demon
Before your kind was, my kind loved her. Stood stone on stone, built the temple. Always making ready. Ohh... But she came here.
She? Jasmine?
MDMantis Demon
Eh?
Jasmine. That's what we call her. The... superior being that--that you loved first.
MDMantis Demon
Pfah! You name her. Filthy little mice! She is the devourer... the song... the peace... the whole... and you try to name her. Work to do. [walks away, then snaps his head back to Wesley] We loved her first!
[Wesley watches the demon go back to work. It crawls up the wall and grabs a torch. Wesley stares at the bloody guts that splatted in front of him.]
And how does your kind define love?
MDMantis Demon
Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.
Just drop the cliche serial killer crap and stake me already! Please!
MDMantis Demon
I tear your guts all inside out. I stitch your guts every all over. Why don't you go dead?
Why don't you go f-- [the demon attacks him] Aah! Aah!
S4Peace Out
It was a trial run, an early experiment to work out the bugs, so to speak. I won't make that mistake again. I know where Angel is, and I know what he's looking for. He's wasting his time.
If you really believed that, you'd have killed us already.
Too much trouble conquering a primitive dimension, wasn't it, Jasmine? Or whatever your name is. Must be nice for you that we have satellites to beam your message to the rest of the world.
You're not wrong.
Connor, what does Jasmine eat?
What?
The creature in the sewer. It called her the devourer. Devourer of what?
I don't know.
Don't You? The followers she randomly chooses to come to her room. The ones she sent to meet her in the banquet hall.
They're the banquet.
Wait. People? She eats people?
FFred
Oh, no.
To Serve Man. It's To Serve Man all over again.
FFred
And now she's going global.
