GILES: I take it it's over.

WILLOW: Did we win?

BUFFY: Well, we averted the Apocalypse. I give us points for that.

XANDER: One thing's for sure: nothing's ever gonna be the same.

(cut to school the next day)

CORDELIA: Well, I heard it was rival gangs. You know, fighting for turf? But all I can tell you is they were an ugly way of looking. And Buffy, like, knew them! Which is just too weird. I mean, I don't even remember that much, but I'm telling you, it was a freak show!

Girl: Oh, I wish I'd been there!

CORDELIA: You should have been there. It was so creepy...

(They walk off)

BUFFY: What exactly were you expecting?

XANDER: I don't know, something. I mean, the dead rose. We should at least have an assembly.

GILES: People have a tendency to rationalize what they can and forget what they can't.

BUFFY: Believe me, I've seen it happen.

WILLOW: Well, I'll never forget it, none of it.

GILES: Good! Next time you'll be prepared.

XANDER: Next time?

WILLOW: Next time is why?

GILES: We've prevented the Master from freeing himself and opening the Mouth of Hell. That's not to say he's going to stop trying. I'd say the fun is just beginning.

WILLOW: More vampires?

GILES: Not just vampires. The next threat we face may be something quite different.

BUFFY: I can hardly wait!

GILES: We're at the center of a mystical convergence here. We may, in fact, stand between the Earth and its total destruction.

BUFFY: Well, I gotta look on the bright side. Maybe I can still get kicked out of school!

XANDER: Oh, yeah, that's a plan. 'Cause lots of schools aren't on Hellmouths.

WILLOW: Maybe you could blow something up. They're really strict about that.

BUFFY: I was thinking of a more subtle approach, y'know, like excessive not studying.

GILES: The Earth is doomed!
