DONNY: Daaad. You -- you gonna let 'em just... Tara, if you don't get in that car, I swear by god I will beat you down.

XANDER: And I swear by your full and manly beard, you're gonna break something trying.

BETH: Well. I hope you'll all be happy hanging out with a disgusting demon.

ANYA: E-excuse me. What kind?

BETH: What?

ANYA: What kind of demon is she? There's a lot of different kinds. Some are very, very evil. And some have been considered to be useful members of society. (Smiles proudly)

BETH: Well, I-I ... what does it matter?

MR. MACLAY: Evil is evil.

ANYA: Well, let's just narrow it down.

SPIKE: Ohhh. Why don't I make this simple.

(Spike walks forward and taps Tara on the shoulder. When she turns, he punches her in the face. Both Tara and Spike reel backwards in pain. )

SPIKE: Oww!!

WILLOW: (angry) Hey! (realizing) Hey...

TARA: He hit my nose!

WILLOW: And it hurt! Uh, him, I mean.

BUFFY: (to Mr. Maclay) And that only works on humans.

SPIKE: There's no demon in there. That's just a family legend, am I right? Just a bit of spin to keep the ladies in line. Oh, you're a piece of work. I like you.

TARA: I'm not a demon.

WILLOW: (smiling) You're not a demon.

TARA: He hurt my nose.

WILLOW: Aw.

SPIKE: Yeah, you're welcome. (Stalks off)

GILES: Mr. Maclay, I would say your business here is finished.

MR. MACLAY: Tara. For eighteen years your family has taken care of you and supported you. If you wanna turn your back-

TARA: Dad ... just go.

(Mr. Maclay scowls, turns and heads for the door. Donny follows. Mr. Maclay pauses at the door.)

MR. MACLAY: (disgusted) Magic.

(Beth gives Tara a very dirty look.)

BETH: Are you happy now?

(A slow smile spreads across Tara's face as fast rock music begins. )
