BUFFY (to the Turok-Han): Looks good, doesn't it? They're trapped in here. Terrified. Meat for the beast, and there's nothing they can do but wait. (forward somersaults down into the open area) That's all they've been doing for days. (walks toward the Turok-Han) Waiting to be picked off. Having nightmares about monsters that can't be killed. But I don't believe in that. I always find a way. I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you and me are gonna show 'em why. It's time. Welcome to Thunderdome.
ANDREW: Two men enter. One man leaves.
