(closeup on Willow. she chants)

WILLOW: I implore you, Neisa, blessed goddess of chance and fortune, heed my call. Send to me the heart I desire.

(camera shows us that the gang is playing cards)

XANDER: You know, magic at the poker table qualifies as cheating.

WILLOW: That wasn't magic. I was praying. Two please.

ANYA: Five

XANDER: Ahn, I keep telling you: four's the max and only if you have an ace.

ANYA: Okay, four.

XANDER: Let's see the ace.

ANYA: (sighs) Three. (gives up the cards) What a stupid game. All these rules just to win little plastic disks.

XANDER: Chips. They're called chips. They represent money. Since none of us has any money it represents money. But that's gonna change once my merchandise hits the street.

WILLOW: (munching on a pretzel) Hmm! Wha'cha got in the boxes, drugs? (then sternly) It's not drugs, is it, Xander?

XANDER: Not drugs.

XANDER: You are looking at the new local distributor for Boost Bars. 'The natural food bar that provides a nutritional energy boost for active, health-conscience people.' Want one?

WILLOW: No. Thanks. Those things usually taste . . kind of tasteless. And then leave a bad after-tastelessness.

XANDER: (taking out a bar) Well, don't let the healthy scare you. Check out these ingredients. (pointing at label) See? Loaded with fatty goodness.

ANYA: Come on, somebody bet already. I got three 'K' cards.

(Willow and Xander look at her then exchange a glance. They fold their cards. Anya smiles happily and begins sliding the pot of chips to her already large pile.)
