KIRK:
No. No, I won't kill you.
Maybe you thought you were protecting yourself when you attacked the outpost.
(He throws the dagger away, stands up and shouts to the sky)
KIRK:
No, I won't kill him! Do you hear? You'll have to get your entertainment someplace else!
(The Gorn disappears, and a young blond boy in a white shift appears instead.)
KIRK:
You're a Metron?
METRON:
Does my appearance surprise you, Captain?
KIRK:
You seem more like a boy.
METRON:
I am approximately fifteen hundred of your Earth years old.
You surprise me, Captain.
KIRK:
How?
METRON:
By sparing your helpless enemy who surely would have destroyed you, you demonstrated the advanced trait of Mercy, something we hardly expected.
We feel there may be hope for your kind. Therefore, you will not be destroyed.
It would not be..... civilised.
KIRK:
What happened to the Gorn?
METRON:
I sent him back to his ship.
If you like, I shall destroy him for you.
KIRK:
No. That won't be necessary.
We can talk. Maybe reach an agreement.
METRON:
Very good, Captain. There is hope for you.
Perhaps in several thousand years, your people and mine shall meet to reach an agreement.
You are still half savage, but there is hope.
We will contact you when we are ready.
(Suddenly a beam of sunshine lights her. She gets up and walks off.)
(Fade to Buffy's feet walking along a hallway, which turns to rippled sand like on a beach. She walks past a palm tree and is in the desert from before: rocks, scraggly bushes, sand. Again we hear the woman humming. Buffy walks down a hill. The camera zooms out and we can see more of the same landscape with mountains in the distance. A breeze ruffles her hair and dress.)
BUFFY:
I'm never gonna find them here.
(She looks up and sees Tara far off, walking toward her. Tara has her hair up, wears a long pink skirt and matching top that exposes a lot of her stomach.)
TARA VOICEOVER:
Of course not.
That's the reason you came.
(Tara fades out and reappears closer, then this repeats. She stops walking.)
(Shot of Buffy and Tara standing about thirty feet apart, facing each other with miles of desert stretching out behind them.)
BUFFY VOICEOVER:
You're not in my dream.
TARA VOICEOVER:
I was borrowed.
(Shot of Tara standing with big rocks behind her. She wears a gold necklace.)
TARA:
Someone has to speak for her.
(Shot of Buffy standing with rocks, bushes and mountains behind.)
BUFFY:
Let her speak for herself.
(We see the dark-haired creature walking up behind her.)
That's what's done in polite circles.
(The creature moves around to in front of Buffy and we finally get a good look at her. It's a dark-skinned woman with dreadlocks and long sharp fingernails. Her face is painted with white or grayish paint, lines of black paint across her eyes, and she wears rags. She crouches low and walks around Buffy like a wild animal. She looks like a cavewoman.)
BUFFY:
Why do you follow me?
(The woman shakes her head.)
TARA: (offscreen)
I don't.
BUFFY:
Where are my friends?
(Shot of the woman backing away from Buffy, still crouching down low.)
TARA: (offscreen)
You're asking the wrong questions.
BUFFY: (firmly)
Make her speak.
(The woman shakes her head again.)
TARA: (offscreen)
I have no speech. No name.
I live in the action of death, the blood cry, the penetrating wound.
(The woman straightens up and looks Buffy in the eye.)
TARA:
I am destruction.
Absolute ... alone.
(Buffy frowns.)
BUFFY:
The Slayer.
(The other woman looks at her.)
Tara:
(offscreen) The First.
(Shot of Buffy's hand, holding a bunch of Tarot-shaped cards. In the one on top we see a scene of Giles, Buffy, Willow, and Xander in Joyce's living room watching TV.)
(Shot of Buffy looking at the card in her hand, with the mountains behind her.)
BUFFY:
I am not alone.
(Shot of Tara in the background, the First Slayer in the middle ground, and Buffy's back in the foreground.)
TARA:
The Slayer does not walk in This World.
BUFFY: I walk.
(Side shot of the three of them.)
BUFFY:
I talk. I shop, I sneeze.
I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back.
(Shot of the First Slayer lifting her chin in anger.)
BUFFY:
(offscreen)
There's trees in The Desert since you moved out.
(The First Slayer shakes her head)
And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.
(Shot of Buffy's face.)
BUFFY: (firmly)
Now give me back my friends.
(The First Slayer speaks in a very low, hoarse voice.)
FIRST SLAYER:
No ... friends! Just The Kill.
(Shot of Buffy watching her.)
FIRST SLAYER:
We ... are ... alone!
(The bald guy leans in between Buffy and the First Slayer, holding up two slices of cheese. He grins and shakes the cheese at Buffy, then retreats offscreen.)
BUFFY:
That's it. I'm waking up.
(The First Slayer attacks her, pushes her to the ground and tries to bash her head on it. African drum music begins.)
(Buffy rolls the First Slayer off her and kicks at her. They both get up. The First Slayer punches her.)
(Long shot of Buffy falling backward from the punch, slow-motion. No music.)
(Music resumes and the action returns to real-time. The First Slayer tries to punch down but Buffy rolls to her feet and kicks her in the back. She kicks again but the First Slayer ducks. Buffy punches.)
(Long shot of the First Slayer falling backward from the punch, slow-motion. No music. The first Slayer starts to get up.)
(One last drum-beat as the action returns to real-time. The First Slayer gets up. Faceoff.)
(Shot of Buffy shaking her head.)
BUFFY:
It's over.
(Woman humming begins again. First Slayer shakes her head)
We don't do this any more.
(Drums begin again. The First Slayer grabs her again and they roll down a sandy hill, clutching each other and rolling over and over as the drums continue.)
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park is a 932-acre (377-hectare) park located in the Sierra Pelona Mountains in northern Los Angeles County , California . It is known for its rock formations, the result of sedimentary layering and later seismic uplift. It is located in the town of Agua Dulce , between the suburbs of Santa Clarita and Palmdale . The area is also visible from the Antelope Valley Freeway ( State Route 14 ). It has been used as a location for films and television programs on many occasions.

Universal Studios assigned Stanley Bergerman as executive producer on the film Werewolf of London (1935). Bergerman suggested Vasquez Rocks as the filming location used to portray Tibet. 16 The prominent rock formation was featured in several episodes of the original Star Trek series. 17 It recurred in the franchise later in the film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and an episode of Star Trek: Picard , in a scene identified as taking place at that real location, and on other occasions. Feature films shot at Vasquez Rocks include Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey , Dante’s Peak , Hot Shots! Part Deux , Rustlers’ Rhapsody , The Flintstones , Blazing Saddles , Free Enterprise , Paul , and Hail, Caesar! . Television shows include Zorro , The Fugitive , F Troop , The A-Team , MacGyver and G.L.O.W. . Commercials for Taco Bell , Bank of America , Pacific Bell , Pepsi , and Nike have been filmed at the rocks. Musicians Radiohead , Michael Jackson , Greta Van Fleet , 311 , Eddie Money , Sammy Kershaw , Restless Heart , Lee Tae-min , and BTS have made music videos there.
