(Giles' apartment)

GILES: Certainly no lack of supplies. I only wish I knew which ones would kill Adam.

BUFFY: According to Riley, his power source is uranium core embedded somewhere inside his chest. Probably near the spine.

XANDER: Great, so we just ask him to lie down quietly while we do some exploratory surgery.

WILLOW: What about magic? Some kind of, I don't know...uranium extracting spell?

(Everyone looks at her in disbelief.)

WILLOW: I know. I'm reaching.

GILES: Perhaps a paralyzing spell. Only I can't perform the incantation for this.

WILLOW: Right. Don't you have to speak it in Sumerian or something?

GILES: I do speak Sumerian. It's not that. Only a...an experienced witch can incant it, and you'd have to be within striking distance of this object.

XANDER: See what you get for takin' French instead of Sumerian?

BUFFY: What was I thinking?

XANDER: So no problem, all we need is combo Buffy--her with Slayer strength, Giles' multi-lingual know how, and Willow's witchy power. Yeah, don't tell me. I'm just full of helpful suggestions.

GILES: As a matter of fact, you are.
