(Magic box)

BUFFY: So I figured there has to be some kind of mystical cure, right? I mean, like a, a potion, or a spell or something. We have to look.

WILLOW: We can look ... I mean, we will, but ... I haven't seen anything.

GILES: The truth is, uh, the ... mystical and the medical aren't meant to mix, Buffy. Sorry, um .. .the human mind is very delicate. Too much can go wrong.

TARA: Yeah, I've heard stories about people trying healing spells ... if we did something, it could make things a lot worse, Buffy.

ANYA: We've done just about enough making things worse for one day, haven't we?

(Everyone looks guilty except Buffy, who looks confused. )

BUFFY: Why? What do you mean?

XANDER: Uh, nothing. Anya broke a ... bippity boppity boo. A thing. Don't worry about it.

ANYA: I did not! I didn't break-

GILES: Anya, Buffy doesn't need to hear about your ... clumsiness right now.

ANYA: (sighs) My clumsiness. I mean, that is so-

(Willow and Xander give her meaningful looks. She looks at Buffy)

ANYA: ...like ... me. Slippery, slippery ... butterfingers.

BUFFY: (not fooled) What happened?

GILES: Nothing to concern you, uh-

BUFFY: Giles!

GILES: (sighs) The, uh, (embarrassed) demon woman was here, the one who attacked you.

(Buffy looks alarmed.)

WILLOW: It's no biggie, she-she just got an amulet and a bloodstone.

ANYA: That can create a monster.

WILLOW: Okay, biggie.

BUFFY: My god, are you guys okay though? I mean, did - no one got hurt, right?

GILES: Oh no, thankfully, no, uh, no violence to speak of.

BUFFY: Okay, so, that's good ...

(she's not understanding why everyone looks guilty)

BUFFY: How did she get away with this bad mojo stuff?

(Pause. The others look at each other in embarrassment. )

ANYA: (whispering) Giles sold it to her.

(Buffy looks at Giles accusingly)

GILES: (defensive) I, I, I... I didn't know it was her! I mean, how could I? (sighs) If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.
