"I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you."-- Buffy, to the Master, in "Prophecy Girl" A hip fan knows that when it comes to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the dialogue is as entertaining as the action. Buffy-speak is a unique, pop-culture savvy creation that's as much fun to read as it is to hear. Collected here in one complete volume is the exciting conclusion to Season One. These six scripts track the conclusion of Buffy's first year as a Sunnydale resident-including the revelation of Angel's true nature, Willow's disastrous first relationship, and the manifestations of the gang's most terrifying dreams, as well as the dramatic season finale featuring Buffy's historic, prophesized showdown with the Master and her (brief) death. Best of all, these scripts represent the most complete source for the writers' and creators' vision-with production notes, dialogue, and scenes that never made it to the television screen. Sink your teeth into "Angel," "I Robot, You Jane," "The Puppet Show," "Nightmares," "Out of Mind, Out of Sight," and "Prophecy Girl"

Buffy Summers balances ordinary high‑school life—lunches, bullies, and homework—while secretly battling vampires as the chosen defender of her generation.
