(to the tune of Defying Gravity from Wicked)
BUFFY:
Why couldn’t you have stayed gone for good instead of trying to make a come back!
I hope you’re happy. I hope you’re happy now.
I hope you’re happy how you self-resurrected. This is so unexpected.
VERONICA:
I hope you’re happy.
I hope you’re happy too.
I hope you’re proud of how you shirked your slayer mission for a European expedition.
BOTH:
So though I can't imagine how, I hope you're happy right now
BUFFY:
(spoken): Ronie, listen to me. Just say you’re finished.
(sung) You can still collect royalties – what you worked and waited for.
You can move onto other projects.
VERONICA:
(spoken) I know.
(sung) But I don’t want it. I can’t want it anymore.
Something’s on the horizon
I’ll light a dying flame.
It seemed I was all done, but now I’m back into the game.
I know you think it’s over, but now your point is moot.
It’s time to trust Rob Thomas, get to the set, and shoot!
It’s time to try making a movie. I think I’ll try making a movie.
Nothing stop me now.
BUFFY:
Can’t I make you understand – this is a misuse of Kickstarter
VERONICA:
I’m through with being cancelled ‘cause TV says it’s so.
Some shows have seen their end, but I’ll be saved by marshmallows.
Too long the fans have waited – they say they’ll pay the cost.
We’ve promised premiums, so now that bridge is crossed.
It’s time to try making a movie.
I’ve gotta fly – I making a movie.
And you can’t pull the plug.
(spoken) Buffy, come with me. Think of the film we could make – together.
(sung) Box office smash. Together we’re a box office smash.
Together we’ll be the blondest superstars on film, Buffy – we can beat the bad guys.
BUFFY:
We’ll be friends and allies.
BOTH:
You, me, and Mr. Pointy/Sparky.
Just you and I making a movie.
We’re bad ass girls making a movie.
VERONICA:
We’ll never have to end.
(spoken) Well, are you coming?
BUFFY:
I hope you’re happy. I hope you’ve chosen well.
VERONICA:
(spoken) You, too. (sung) I hope you’re not in hell.
BOTH:
I really hope we’re cool now, and you don’t think I’m a fool now.
I hope you’re/I’m happy in Neptune, when you/I start filming this June.
VERONICA:
So if you care to find me, look to the silver screen.
As my dad told me, “just take Backup and keep your nose clean.”
And if I’m filming solo, it means I’ve dumped Logan.
But our love’s epic – I’m sure we’ll reunite again.
Tell him that I’m making a movie.
Wallace, Wevil, come join the movie.
We’ll see our fame abound,
And nobody who’s worth a damn.
Not even dopey Sherriff Lamb.
Is ever gonna shut us down!
