TRAVERS: (nods to Nigel) Uh, Giles, sorry, but this is just for the duration of our stay. I think you can see why.

GILES: What, what, wha-what is just for the duration?

(Nigel stands in the middle of store and speaks loudly.)

NIGEL: Magic Box shoppers! We're going to have to ask you to leave. The store is, uh, closing early today.

(Watcher #3 (Philip) takes an item away from a customer.)

PHILIP: Terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

(Customers begin to leave. Anya looks alarmed.)

ANYA: Hey! Giles, what are they doing? Customers! Please bring your money back.

(Watchers escort customers out. Giles glares at Travers.)

GILES: You knew you were gonna do this before you even saw the place.

TRAVERS: I'm sorry. It's just for the duration of the Council's review.

ANYA: Council? You're the Council? (smiles) Welcome to our store. We're closed now. I'll be in the back.

GILES: What review, Quinton? Let's just stop a moment and talk about this.

• Watcher's Council
