XANDER: Ahn, that was Buffy, she's working late, so I might have to go- yah!

HALFREK: (deep resonant voice) I have been called, and vengeance shall I wreak. Cower, masculine one ... tremble as you face my wrath!

ANYA: (entering) Xander, I'm starting to think that maybe we should do a pot-luck thing.

XANDER: Honey?

HALFREK: (resonant voice) Hello. I am here to tear this man apart. How many pieces do you wish?

ANYA: Halfrek!

HALFREK: (normal woman's voice) Anyanka? Oh my god! (they hug) ANYA: How are you, how are you?

XANDER: You two ... you know each other?

ANYA: Funny, Halfrek, I didn't summon you to kill Xander, I called to invite you to our wedding.

HALFREK: Y- Oh my ... what an embarrassing mistake! (Anya shows her the engagement ring) Oh my god, gorgeous!

XANDER: Wow, um, you two clearly have some catching up to do. So I'll, uh ... I'll not be in the apartment.

ANYA: Gosh, it's swell to see you again, Hallie, I didn't mean to have you materialize all the way here, I mean, not-not till the ceremony, I mean. HALFREK: I guess I got the message garbled. (laughs) You know how it is, half the time I have no idea if I'm maiming the right guy. So, um ... you're marrying that man with the large upper arms?

ANYA: (smiling) Yes.

HALFREK: Why?

ANYA: Well, because I love him.

HALFREK: Hmm.

ANYA: Oh, we're gonna be very happy together.

HALFREK: Hmm.

ANYA: What?
