GILES: Um, this vampire who escaped, did you see what he took?

BUFFY: No, but I could take a guess and say it was something old.

GILES: You made no effort to find out what was taken?

BUFFY: Have a cow, Giles! I just figured it was your everyday vamp hijinks.

GILES: Well, what if it wasn't? This could be very serious! I mean, i- i-if you'd made an effort to, uh, to be more thorough in your observations...

BUFFY: Y'know, if you don't like the way I'm doing my job, why don't you find somebody else? Oh, that's right, there can only be one. As long as I'm alive, there is no one else. Well, there you go! I don't have to be the Slayer. I could be dead.

GILES: That wasn't terribly funny. You notice I don't laugh.

BUFFY: Wouldn't be much of a change. Either way I'm bored, constricted, I never get to shop, and my hair and fingernails still continue to grow. So really, when you think about it, what's the diff?

GILES: Do we have to be introspective now? Our only concern is to discover what was stolen from that mausoleum last night.
