MOONY SINGING DUO: You've done for me everything I have ever dreamed. You are a miracle in my eyes? How do I ever say to you...

ANYA: God, they're depressing.

HALFREK: Oh, who are they kidding with this happy, shiny crap?

ANYA: Six weeks tops and she's calling on me for vengeance.

HALFREK:(mocking) Oo-ooh, he better run for cover.

ANYA: What's that supposed to mean?

HALFREK: Oh, sweetie. You know exactly what it means.

ANYA: Excuse me?

HALFREK: It's the talk of the order. They're calling you "Miss Softserve." Tell me you don't know this.

ANYA: But...who?

HALFREK: Listen, Anya. I know I've always been a little competitive with you. I mean, there was that thing in the Crimean War. We laugh about it now. But the fact is, I've actually always looked up to you. You were the single-most hard-core vengeance demon on the roster, and everybody knew it. Do I have to mention Mrs. Cholgash?

ANYA: Hmm. Ha. Good times.

HALFREK: And then you lost your powers. It happens, and you fell for this Xander guy.

ANYA: It was a glitch. A summer thing. I am so back in the vengeance fold.

HALFREK: No deaths. No eviscerations. You're not goading women into anything inventive, and you're not delivering when it is.

ANYA: I don't even know--

HALIFREK: Waitress downtown wished her husband was a frog? You made him French.

ANYA: Hmph, he's smelly and with a little mustache. She--

HALFREK: Listen, Anya, if it was just me--

ANYA: What do you mean if it was just you?

HALFREK: D'Hoffrin. The lower beings. They're all feeling the heat. Something's rising. Something older than the old ones, and everybody's tail is twitching. This is a bad time to be a good guy.

ANYA: Well, what is this--an intervention? Shouldn't all my demon friends be here?

HALIFREK: Sweetie... they are.
