WILLOW: So, we're thinking it didn't go too well.

DAWN: (to Andrew, removing the tape that held the wire to his chest) You should've let me do this fast.

ANDREW: No, no, no. I hate that. Ow.

SPIKE: You tried to record the ultimate evil? Why? In a complex effort to royally piss it off?

KENNEDY: Guess we succeeded pretty good, huh?

ANDREW: God, I never should have gone in wired. (whiny) Redemption is hard.

GILES: Getting back to Spike's question, why did you try to record it?

ANDREW: Ooh!

WILLOW: To study it. To see if we could figure something out from what it was saying. Because, guys, we have to face it, we know nothing about the First.

ANDREW: Owie! Ow ow!

ANYA: Well, we know not to record it. That's something.

SPIKE: Why did it appear to this one, then? I thought it was supposed to be pulling my strings.

ANDREW: It said it wasn't time for you yet. (Dawn pulls off the last piece of tape) Ow. I'm frightened. And my chest hurts where the tape was.

DAWN: It's OK, Andrew. You did good. You stood up to it. That's really amazing.

ANDREW: Thank you. You're a peach.

ANYA: Yeah. What did it want you to do, anyway?

ANDREW: Shoot all the girls.

DAWN: Shoot girls?

ANDREW: Not you, just the potentials.

DAWN: (relieved) Oh, well that's something, anyway. (covering for her relief) Something tragic.

GILES: This proves my point. This time is crucial. We should be circling the wagons instead of doing things like going out on dates when?when gunplay is imminent. Willow, call Buffy. Get her back here. We need to dispose of the gun and-and figure out our next move.

SPIKE: I'll go get her.

WILLOW: I'll call. (a cell-phone rings in the background)

AMANDA: Bet that's her. Sometimes you're thinking about calling someone?

WILLOW: No, it's a text message. Oh, it's from Xander. It's one of our signals.

AMANDA: Signals?

WILLOW: Yeah, the system we set up a while back. Like codes. Uh, this one's either "I just got lucky, don't call me for a while" or "my date's a demon who's trying to kill me."

KENNEDY: You don't remember which?

WILLOW: It was a long time ago.

DAWN: Well, if we play the percentages...

GILES: Something's eating Xander's head.

ANYA: Say, that's gratifying.

ANDREW: Buffy will know what to do.

SPIKE: I'll go get her. (starts to go)

WILLOW: That's ok. We don't even know where she went. (a cell phone rings in the background, zoom in on Buffy's cell phone that says "Willow Calling.") That's not good.

SPIKE: I'll go get Buffy. I can probably still track her scent. She'll be worried about the boy. (walks out the door)
