• Buffy Summers : Okay, everybody grab a weapon. We've gotta move.

  Xander Harris : And storm the Initiative. Yeah. Let's take on those suckers!

  Buffy Summers : I was thinking more that we'd hide.

  Xander Harris : Oh, thank God.

  Rupert Giles : Buffy, I think perhaps we should talk about this.

  Buffy Summers : We need to relocate someplace we're less likely to be found. We need to come up with a plan.

  Willow Rosenberg : We could go to my place.

  Buffy Summers : The Initiative guys know how close we are. They'll automatically check the places that you hang out. Xander, what about your basement? The guys haven't seen us together that much and-and there's enough room.

  Willow Rosenberg : Ooh, plus, mirrored ball.

  Xander Harris : Cool! Come on down and boogie at Xander's hideaway.

  Anya : Yes. Come Boogie.

  Rupert Giles : Absolutely not. I will not squat in that dank hole.

  Spike : What, it was good enough for me, but you're above it all?

  Rupert Giles : Precisely. Besides, I-I don't see why we can't stay right where we are. It's very unlikely that those Initiative boys are gonna come around here to look for our...

  Rupert Giles : [Riley enters]  Buffy...! God, Buffy, are you okay...? What happened?

  Buffy Summers : You know?

  Riley Finn : I know something went down... Tell me.

  Buffy Summers : Maggie tried to kill me.

  Anya : It didn't work, but they're all upset anyway.

  Riley Finn : Okay, listen. I need you to go over everything step by step. There has to be, has to be some kind of mistake.

  Xander Harris : There was no mistake. And how do you know something happened?

  Riley Finn : I was on a mission... but I came back and... I'm not sure. Look, let's just keep our heads and not jump to any...

  [Riley stops and stares at Spike] 

  Buffy Summers : What?

• Riley Finn : That's Hostile 17.

  Spike : No, I'm just a friend of Xanderr's... Pfftt. Bugger it. I'm your guy.

  Buffy Summers : This is Spike. He's, um... It's a really long story, but-but he's not bad anymore.

  Spike : Hey! What am I, a bleeding broken record? I'm *bad*. It's just... I can't bite anymore... thanks to you wankers.

  Riley Finn : We've been looking all over the place for him, but you've known where's he's been all along.

  Buffy Summers : It's not like that.

  Riley Finn : Then what is it like? What's he doing here?

  Spike : Leaving you swabs to your dramatics, thanks. I've got my stories on the telly for that. By the by, if you're trying to kill her...

  [Spike grins and gives two thumbs up and then leaves] 

  Riley Finn : Buffy... what is this? You're hiding an HST?

  Xander Harris : Why don't you just back off and let her ask the questions, Jack? Your boss just tried to make monster food out of her.

  Riley Finn : [seeing unfriendly faces all around him]  I-I didn't see much... I wasn't there... All I know is Professor Walsh told me you were dead. Then, I saw you on the monitors... Look, this isn't Professor Walsh. There must be something making her act this way, something, I don't know, controlling her.

  Rupert Giles : We think Buffy may have been becoming too inquisitive, that she was getting close to something that Professor Walsh was trying to hide. Any idea what that might be?

  Buffy Summers : What about 314? Maybe that's it.

  Riley Finn : Maybe she was trying to test you. What if it was only a drill?

  Buffy Summers : Then why did she tell you I was dead? Riley, it wasn't a test.

  Rupert Giles : See, I've heard rumors that the Initiative isn't all that we've been told. That, um... secretly they're working towards some darker purpose, something that might harm us all.

  Riley Finn : No! That's... that's not what happens there.

  Buffy Summers : Riley!

  Riley Finn : I would know!

  Buffy Summers : But no one is sure of anything, okay? We're just trying to sort it out.

  Riley Finn : I can't be here. I'll sort it out on my own.
