GILES: How is he?

BUFFY: It isn't just grief making him act this way. Something's affecting him physically and its getting worse.

ANYA: {Do} you think Professor Walsh did something to him?

BUFFY: I don't know, but I'm ready to find out.

XANDER: That's gonna be tough, what with Maggie's deadness and all.

BUFFY: She must have kept records somewhere. A-about Riley, about 314, about all of it. And I'm sure she wasn't the only person that knew what she was up to.

XANDER: So what's the plan?

BUFFY: Giles, Anya, keep researching. Xander, you and I are going undercover.

ANYA: Hey! (steps closer to Xander) Remember before? No Xander! Not in a "boyfriend" way or a "lead him to a certain death" way.

BUFFY: He's the only one with military experience.

ANYA: It's not like he was in the 'Nam. He was GI Joe for one night.

XANDER: It's okay, Anya. I've backed up Buffy before.

ANYA: (concerned) Can't you do something else to help them? Like Xerox handouts or something?

XANDER: I'll be careful. Promise.

GILES: It's a minor point but how do you plan to get in to the Initiative? I sure their, uh, security system's almost impenetrable.

BUFFY: I have my clearance. I'm hoping she didn't have time to revoke it.

GILES: As to the whereabouts of this Polgara demon... I'm afraid we've-we've not turned up much. There's been no reports since its original capture.

BUFFY: Then we'll just have to keep looking.
