Act III
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open on the basement. Pan down to reveal Harmony asleep on floor. She suddenly jerks awake, sits up, and begins to do a ballet dance.
She leaps to her feet and is confronted a masked minion. They do a ballet-ish dance that basically represents Harmony trying to escape and the demon stopping her. They go back and forth before she stops and looks annoyed stomping her foot in frustration. The other two demons appear and join the dance. They surround Harmony as she huddles close to the floor. Then they fling her and she goes sliding across the floor, stopping beside the stage. We see Sweet's feet in red pants and black-and-white dance shoes. They begin to do a tap-dance number, dance down the stairs and toward Harmony... Meanwhile the camera moves up to reveal Sweet. He dances around to the other side of Harmony.
Song: "That's What It's All About."
SWEET:
Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my ... style?
He snaps his fingers and his red suit turns to a blue one.
SWEET:
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a...
He reaches up to his face, pulls off his mouth and holds the disembodied mouth in Harmony's face. She stares with a disgusted yet interested as the mouth continues singing.
SWEET: ...great big smile.
The mouth disappears from his hand and reappears in its normal place.
SWEET:
I come from the
Imagination
And I'm here strictly by your
Invocation [holds up a scroll covered with writing]
So what do you say?
Why don't we dance awhile?
He dances over to Harmony, gestures at her, then dances away again.
SWEET:
I'm the hot swing
I'm the twist and shout
[tapdances]
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta ... let it out.
[shot of the three minions dancing to the tune]
You call me and I come a-running [dances back toward Harmony]
I turn the music on
I bring the fun in
[makes a string-pulling gesture at Harmony, who gets up]
Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about. [chuckles]
He dances toward Harmony and she dances backward.
SWEET: 'Cause I know ... what you feel, girl.
He puts his arms around her and they dance together. Harmony looks scared.
SWEET: I know just what you feel, girl.
He spins Harmony away, she dances a few steps away from him.
Harmony: (spoken, nervous) So ... you're like, not a client of Wolfram and Hart? Here to like, I dunno destroy it or something?
Sweet laughs, shakes his head "no."
SWEET:
All these melodies ... [Harmony sits]
They go on too long
Then that energy
[minions doing a dance-fight]
Starts to come on way too strong
All those hearts laid open, that must sting
[a door appears beside Sweet, he reaches for the knob]
Plus, some customers just start combusting
Sweet opens the door and a charred smoking corpse falls through it. Harmony stares in horror.
SWEET:
That's the penalty [dances back over to her]
When life is but a song.
[dancing up very close to Harmony, she looks very nervous]
You brought me down into this town
So, when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen
Sweet makes a gesture and Harmony's clothing turns to a satiny and revealing evening gown. She grins but then the grin fades.
SWEET:
'Cause I know what you feel, girl [dances up onto the stage]
Harmony:
No, you see
You and me
Wouldn't work out at all
SWEET:
I'll make it real, girl [dancing around the stage]
Harmony:
What I mean
You're evil
My boss is not, so no but have a ball
SWEET: [jumps back onto the floor]
I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft-shoe in
Harmony:
Well, that's great
But I've got work
And I'd hate to get fired
SWEET: [dancing around her]
Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
Harmony:
He'll be mad
He's not that bad (mumbles 'he's just got a soul')
So he's too old to retire
Sweet stops in mid-kick, looks surprised, stops dancing, turns to Harmony. End of song "That's What It's All About."
SWEET: (spoken) Angelus?
Harmony: (nods, nervously) Yuh-huh. I mean, no...he's technically Angel now. He only adds the 'us when he's wearing leather pants.
SWEET: (chuckles, turns to minions) Find him. Tell him ... tell him anything. (Harmony looks nervous) Just get him here. I want to see if Souled Vampires burn.
Harmony looks alarmed.
SWEET: (sings) Now we're partying. That's what it's all about.
