Re: A Second Look: BTVS S6D6

This seems to me like a classic example of the person who wrote the
transcript imposing their own ideas on the show. :-)

Try this as an equally valid alternative:

XANDER: (panting) I ... love y-
WILLOW: Shut up!!

She throws another blast of magic at him, but her heart isn't in it
this time; he staggers backward but doesn't fall down. Willow stares
at her hand, the magic still crackling around it, a look of distress
on her face as what she's doing starts to sink in. Xander moves slowly
towards her.

XANDER: I love you, Willow.
WILLOW: Stop!

She sends another magic blast, but it's weak and barely hurts Xander
at all. He continues walking toward her. She continues going through
the motions of making the magical gesture, but nothing happens. The
dark magic is losing its grip on her heart, and she starts to become
tearful.
