BUFFY: We've got a new player in town. Dresses like a preacher. Calls himself Caleb. Looks like he's working for the First. He's taunting us, calling us out. Says he's got something of mine. Could be another girl, could be something else. Don't know, don't care. I'm tired of talking. I'm tired of training. He's got something of mine? Fine. I'm getting it back, and you guys are coming with me.

(...)

BUFFY: We need to start arming the girls. I wanna be ready to move when we find him.

WILLOW: We don't even know where we're going.

BUFFY: 'S why I figured we'd do a little recon first. (to Faith) You up for it?

FAITH: Point me where you want me.

GILES: And you're certain this is the best course of action? You don't even know what this man has of yours?if he, in fact, has anything.

BUFFY: It could be a girl, a potential trying to get to us.

GILES: Could be a stapler.

BUFFY: Going in anyway.

GILES: With the girls? Most of whom have yet to be in the field, let alone in a life or death situation.

BUFFY: Then it's time we test them. Look, I'll just take the ones that have been here the longest. The rest can stay behind.

SPIKE: Could be that's just what he wants you to do?the old bait-and-switch.

WILLOW: Yeah, he lures us away and then kills the girls we leave behind.

BUFFY: I know. That's why I need you to stay here with them. You're my most powerful weapon, Will. I know you can keep them safe if anything happens.

XANDER: An unknown man breezes into town, says he has something of yours. Buffy, this thing's got "trap" written all over it.

BUFFY: He won't be expecting a full attack?not this soon, that's why we have to move.

GILES: We know nothing about this man. We cannot go into battle unprepared. We have to have more time.

BUFFY: Giles, we don't have time. And you're not going into battle. I need you to stay behind with the others. Help the girls who still need a teacher.
