(phone rings)

ANDREW: I'll get it. I'm supposed to get a call when the new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comes in. I gave them this number.

XANDER: Ooh. Can you see if you can get two?

ANDREW: Summers residence, this is Andrew speaking. How can I help you?

XANDER: (defensively, to Dawn and Anya) Loser.

ANDREW: Hey, do we know some British guy named Robson?

(cut to later)

XANDER: He was attacked, this Robson guy in England. And Giles was there helping him. And there was a Bringer.

ANYA: Xander...

XANDER: Robson blacked out, but the last thing he remembers is Giles's head about to get really familiar with a Bringer's very sharp axe.

DAWN: Oh, my God!

ANYA: Giles never mentioned any of this.

XANDER: Robson said by the time he came to, there was no Giles.

DAWN: So, what are we saying?

XANDER: Maybe Giles just didn't want to talk about it.

ANYA: Or maybe he didn't make it. Look, I'm not saying it's a happy scenario, but we're dealing with a big bad that can be any dead person it wants.

XANDER: Because if you want to infiltrate the inner circle of the slayer...

ANYA: Become the one person she trusts more than anybody else.

DAWN: But there's no way that we can know.

ANDREW: Actually that's not true. The First can't take corporeal form, so it can't touch anything.

ANYA: Oh, it's not like Giles hasn't touched anything, right? Ha-has anyone seen Giles touch anything since he got back? Hold anything? Has anybody hugged him? Think very hard.

(Xander stands and walks toward the door. Anya and Dawn follow.)

ANDREW: Wait?where're you...?

XANDER: The desert. We're gonna find Giles.

ANDREW: Oh good. Let me just get some tapes for the car. I've been working on this mix?

XANDER: You're not coming.

ANDREW: What? Why? 'Cause I used to be evil?

XANDER: No, actually, 'cause you're annoying, but that's a good reason too.

ANDREW: Wait, I?don't leave me here alone. I keep getting attacked in this house.

DAWN: Actually, Xand...

ANDREW: What if this is all part of the plan? Drive you guys away so it can have its way with me? Ever think of that?

XANDER: I'll risk it.

ANDREW: OK, well, if you leave me here alone, I'll do something evil, like burning something or gluing things together.

ANYA: For crying out loud, Harris, let's just take him. At least we can keep an eye on him. (Andrew scampers out the door after Dawn) Xander...

XANDER: I know, they're out there all alone. All of 'em.
