The Ugly

It’s Perfectly Understandable :

He cut off Your Arm —

You wanted Revenge.

….That Rug really tied The Room together, did it not.

The Man in Black 

fled across 

The Desert —

— and 

The Gunslinger 

followed.

….You’ve got Red on You.



I am on The Side of Life —

Ultron isn’t.

He will End it All.

ANGEL'S OFFICE - DAY 

Angel and Spike are sitting, talking, 

while Wesley stares into nothingness. 

SPIKE 

No army of doom scorching the earth. 

Huzzah for our side. 

ANGEL 

We need to close The Gateway to Illyria's Temple. Permanently. I don't want any more surprises. 

SPIKE 

What about the leather queen? 

ANGEL 

She still has enough juice to be A Threat. 

We regroup and we take care of it. Wes? 

WESLEY 

It's all we can do. 

I'll be in the lab. (walks out) 

SPIKE 

(sighs) 

Long day.

 (sniffs) 

That offer still Good? 

Send me abroad, 

roving agent and all? 

ANGEL 

Yeah, it's still Good. 

SPIKE 

Great. (sighs) 

Maybe we should send Gunn... 

before Wes has another poke. 

ANGEL 

(sits up, surprised) 

You're not leaving? 

SPIKE 

This is What She Would Have Wanted. 

(looks at Angel, surprising himself — ) 

It's What I Want. 

I don't really like you. 

Suppose I never will. 

But This is Important, 

What's Happening here. 

Fred gave Her Life for it —

The least I can do is give what's left of mine. 

(looks out the window) 

The Fight's comin', Angel. 

We both feel it... 

and it's gonna be a hell of a lot bigger than Illyria. 

Things are gonna get ugly —

That's where I live.

PICARD: 

'For now we see 

but through A Glass Darkly'

DATA: 

Sir?

PICARD: 

He said He's A Mirror.

DATA : 

Of You, sir?

PICARD: 

Yes.

DATA: 

I Do Not Agree. 

Although you share 

The Same Genetic Structure, 

The Events of Your Life have created 

A Unique Individual.

PICARD: 

If I had lived His Life, is it possible 

I would have rejected My Humanity?

IF YOU HAD LIVED HIS LIFE, 

THEN YOU WOULDN’T BE YOU — 

So, No.

DATA: 

The B-4 is Physically Identical to Me, 

although his neural pathways are not as advanced. 

But even if they were, 

He would not be Me.

PICARD: 

How can you be sure?

DATA: 

I aspire, sir, to be Better Than I am. 

B-4 Does Not. Nor Does Shinzon.

You got What You Wanted, Tiger. 

How does it taste?

OK. You read me well enough.

But why can't I read you?

Don't bother.

Dodge, there — 

He's not Like Me at all. 

But he makes sense.

He'd walk naked into a live volcano if he thought

he could learn something that no other Man knew.

But you... You're no Seeker. You're negative.

And I'm not prepared to die.

I’d like to know why not.

You thought Life on Earth was meaningless. 

You despised People.

So what did you do? 

You ran out.

No. It's not like that, Landon.

l'm A Seeker too. 

But My Dreams aren't like Yours.

I can't help thinking somewhere 

there has to be something 

Better Than Man. 

Has to be.
