DAWN: So this ... key thing ... it's been around for a long time?

GLORY: Well, not as long as me, but ... yeah. Just this side of forever.

DAWN: (long pause, very quietly) Is it evil?

GLORY: Totally! (laughs) Well, no, not really. I guess it depends on your point of view.

DAWN: What's it for? I mean ... if it's a key, there's gotta be a lock, right?

GLORY: Yes. We have a winner.

DAWN: S-so what does it open?

GLORY: (sighs) I smell a fox in my hen house. (annoyed) Is that why you've been playing sugar and spice with old Uncle Ben? Trying to get a peek at Glory's unmentionables?

DAWN: No, I-

GLORY: Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now. Me talking. You know what I'm starting to think? I'm thinking ... that maybe you ... don't have any idea where my key is.

GLORY: Very irritating. Irrational. Know what I mean, tiny snapdragon? Like...

GLORY: ...bugs under my skin. And say, I'm feelin' a little...

DAWN: What's wrong with you?

GLORY: Hey. Hey! This doesn't have to be a complete waste of my precious time. I've been meaning to send the Slayer a message. And I could use a little pick-me-up. Two birds, one stone, and...

(she claps her hands in front of Dawn's nose)

GLORY: Boom. You have yummy dead birds.

(Dawn looks very scared)
