ANYA: Do you think she ... walked around on clouds, wearing like ... Birkenstocks and played a harp? 'Cause those are just not flattering. You know, the clonky sandals, not a harp. (softly) I mean, who ... doesn't look good with a harp? What? I'm just saying what everyone's thinking, (to Xander) right baby?

XANDER: You are attractive and have many good qualities.

TARA: It's totally not stupid to wonder what it was like for Buffy. But it could have been any one of a zillion heavenly dimensions. All we know is that ... it was a good place and she was happy there.

WILLOW: And we took her away from that. We wrecked it for her.

XANDER: We didn't wreck. We didn't know.

WILLOW: We didn't wanna know. We were so selfish. *I* was so selfish.

XANDER: Maybe we were. I just feel weird feeling bad that my friend's not dead. It's ... too mind-boggling. So I've decided to simplify the whole thing. Me like Buffy. Buffy's alive, so, me glad.

TARA: Not to be Miss Psycho Pep Squad, but we have *got* to stop obsessing about what we did and start trying to make things better for Buffy.

ANYA: I'm with Miss Psycho Pep Squad.

XANDER: Ah, we need to spend more time with her, just hang out. Maybe have ... weekly dinners over here, or, uh ... a book club. Short books. Videos.

WILLOW: I can fix it. I know a spell.

TARA: (angrily) No! No more spells.

WILLOW: Then what? This isn't something that's gonna be fixed by a video club. I know I messed up, okay, and ... I wanna fix it.

TARA: I can't believe that we are talking about this again. You know how powerful magic is, how dangerous. You could hurt someone, you ... you could hurt yourself.

WILLOW: I know a spell that will make her forget she was ever in heaven.

TARA: (angrily) God, what is wrong with you?!

XANDER: (getting up) I'm gonna go get that ... phone you probably don't hear. High-pitched ring, ears like a dog.

ANYA: I'm gonna help you with that. (they flee)
