[Buffy, Xander and Willow perform a scene from Oedipus Rex]
O ruler of my country, Oedipus, you see our company around the altar, and I, the Priest of Zeus.
Ha, ha! They prophesize that I should kill my father, but he is dead and hidden deep in the soil. But surely I must fear my mother's bed.
O Oedipus, Oedipus, unhappy Oedipus. That is all I can call you and all that I ever shall call you.
Darkness, and horror of darkness, unfolding, restless visistant sped by an ill wind in haste. Madness and... madness a-and stabbing pain and-and, uh, oh, oh... Memory of, uh, ill deeds I have done.
