CORDELIA: You’d think people get enough gratuitous violence watching Jerry Springer.

WESLEY: Cordelia, do you mind? I’m trying to concentrate.

CORDELIA: You’ve been concentrating all night.

WESLEY: Yes! It’s taken this long to translate the text. I need something that conducts electricity, but not too much of it. This cuff is half magic, half medieval technology. If I read the alchemist correctly - all I need is...

(He touches a wire to the cuff. There is an explosion of sparks and Wesley is thrown backwards onto the floor. )

CORDELIA: Ouch! Are you okay?

WESLEY: Perhaps – something that conducts a little less electricity.

WESLEY: Too thick.

CORDELIA: Oh. Tick-tick, Wesley!

WESLEY: I don’t know what else to try. We need something supple enough to thread the locking mechanism, but strong enough to spring the release.

CORDELIA: Horsehair.

WESLEY: Horsehair?

CORDY: From Keanu, my palomino before the IRS took him away.

WESLEY: Horsehair!

CORDELIA: Well, we tried just about everything else.

(Wesley tries it. There's a short zap and it springs open. )
