Tom Byron: Rupert Giles

Quotes 

• Willow : Hey guys.

  [Giles, Buffy and Xander just stare at her] 

  Willow : Oh, shit.

  [Willow is holding up a bowl of M&M cookies in front of Buffy] 

  Willow : Eat a cookie? Ease my pain?

  [Buffy doesn't say anything] 

  Willow : The magic box didn't have the right ingredients, so I improvised. I just wanted Buffy and Angel to have one more night together. To cure her insomnia. I guess it didn't turn out the way I wanted it. Sorry Xander.

  [Willow hold up the plate of cookies to Xander] 

  Willow : Cookie?

  [Xander hold his hand up to get a cookie but eventually does take one] 

  Xander : You know, when Martha Stewart looses her sparkles, does she just have extra sequences laying around that she use? Wait, she probably does. Or when MacGyver gets in a fix, does he improvise?

  [Willow slightly raises her right eyebrow] 

  Xander : On second thought, look I know you mean well, but what you did has really been giving me the wiggins.

  Buffy : That spell created more then just a dream. It felt like it bent reality.

  [Willow holds her head down in shame] 

  Rupert Giles : Willow, you more then anyone should know that the black arts are not to be trifled with. Balance must be maintained amongst elements. Above all else.

  [Giles scoffs] 

  Rupert Giles : Quite frankly, I'm amazed that that the repercussions from your indiscretion was worse.

  Xander : At least she didn't cross the streams.

  [Giles stares at Xander] 

  Xander : Uh, sorry.

  Rupert Giles : [Giles takes a deep breath]  Well, I do hope you learned your lesson.

  Willow : Cookie?

  Rupert Giles : Oh, thank you.

  [Giles takes a deep breath] 

  Rupert Giles : Meanwhile, the local news is reporting a another disappearance. That brings the total up to four.

  Buffy : Okay, I'll go and patrol and check the usual hangouts. Research mode. Go online, check the patterns for all these missing people.

  Rupert Giles : Yes, we should be able to triangulate where the victims are being held... if they're still alive.

  [Willow, Xander and Buffy get up off the couch, Buffy goes over to Giles] 

  Buffy : Never ends, does it?

  Rupert Giles : Not while Sunnydale is on top of the Hellmouth.
