(Giles' apartment)

BUFFY: I'm just saying it doesn't make any sense. H-he starred in the Matrix but he never left town. And how'd he graduate from med school? He's only eighteen years old.

XANDER: Effective time management?

GILES: I-I'm sorry Buffy, I just don't understand what you're trying to say.

ANYA: Yeah and when is Jonathan going to get here and start the meeting?

BUFFY: This is the meeting.

WILLOW: This is the meeting?

BUFFY: Well, I was just kind of wondering if maybe anyone thought that Jonathan was kind of too perfect?

XANDER: No he's not! He's just perfect enough! He crushed the bones of the master, he blew up a big snake made out of mayor and he coached the U.S. women's soccer team to stunning World Cup victory! We saw him doing those things!

BUFFY: But that's just it. I'm not entirely sure that we can trust our memories. Anya tell them about the alternate universes.

ANYA: Oh ok. Umm. Say you really like shrimp a lot. Or we could say you don't like shrimp at all.

ANYA: Blah I wish there weren't any shrimp you would say to yourself.

BUFFY: Stop you're saying it wrong! I think that Jonathan may be doing something so that he's manipulating the world and we're all like his pawns.

ANYA: Or prawns.

BUFFY: Stop with the shrimp I am trying to do something here!
