Quotes 

• Rupert Giles : Buffy, what's happened here?

  Buffy Summers : God. I don't even know where to start.

  Rupert Giles : Well, Willow's clearly been abusing the magics.

  Buffy Summers : She has... She was, and I barely even noticed. Giles, everything's just been so... Xander left Anya at the altar, and Anya's a vengeance demon again. Dawn's a total klepto. Money's been so tight that I've been slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace, and... and I've been sleeping with Spike.

  Rupert Giles : [pause; then laughs]  I'm sorry.

• Anya : Giles...! You're not dead!

  Rupert Giles : No.

  Anya : [hugs him tightly]  Ohh!

  Rupert Giles : However, I am still in some pain.

  Anya : Oh. Well, why aren't you dead? Why aren't I dead?

  Rupert Giles : Uh, the threat's gone. Willow has been stopped.

  Anya : Oh... You mean she's, uh...

  Rupert Giles : No, she's alive. It, uh, the magic she took from me, it did- it did what I hoped it would do.

  Anya : Oh, you dosed her. You knew she'd take your powers all along.

  Rupert Giles : Well, I- The gift that was given me by the coven, it's the true essence of magic. It... Willow's magic came from a place of rage and power.

  Anya : And vengeance. Don't forget vengeance.

  Rupert Giles : Oh. How could I? In any case, the magic she took from me, tapped into... the spark of the humanity she had left. Helped her to feel again. Gave Xander the opportunity to reach her.

  Anya : Xander?

  Rupert Giles : Yes. It was he who got to her in time... He saved us all.

• Buffy Summers : Willow, listen to him. I don't want to fight you anymore.

  Willow Rosenberg : I don't wanna fight you either. I wanna fight *him*.

  Rupert Giles : Stay down.

  Willow Rosenberg : No. Remember that little spat we had before you left? When you were under the delusion that you were still relevant here? You called me a rank, arrogant amateur... Well, buckle up, Rupert... 'cause I've turned pro.

  Buffy Summers : Giles?

  Anya : Giles.

  Willow Rosenberg : Uh-oh. Daddy's home. I'm in wicked trouble now.

  Rupert Giles : You have no idea.
