GILES: For as long as there have been vampires, there's been the Slayer. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One.

BUFFY: He loves doing this part.

GILES: Alright. The Slayer hunts vampires, Buffy is a Slayer, don't tell anyone. Well, I think that's all the vampire information you need.

XANDER: Except for one thing: how do you kill them?

BUFFY: *You* don't, *I* do.

XANDER: Well, Jesse's my...

BUFFY: (interrupts) Jesse is *my* responsibility. I let him get taken.

XANDER: That's not true.

WILLOW: If you hadn't shown up they would have taken us, too. Does anybody mind if I pass out?

BUFFY: Breathe.

WILLOW: Breathe.

BUFFY: Breathe. (to Giles) This big guy, Luke. He talked about an offering to the Master. Now, I don't know what or who, but if they weren't just feeding then Jesse may still be alive. I'm gonna find him.

WILLOW: Uh, this may be the dumb question, but shouldn't we call the police?

GILES: And they'd believe us, of course.

WILLOW: Well, we don't have to say vampires. We, we could just say that there's a, a bad man.

BUFFY: They couldn't handle it even of they did show up. They'd only come with guns.

GILES: You have no idea where they took Jesse?

BUFFY: I looked around, but soon's they got clear of the graveyard, they could have just, voom!

XANDER: They can fly?

BUFFY: They can drive.

XANDER: Oh.

WILLOW: I don't remember hearing a car.

GILES: Let's take an enormous intuitive leap, shall we, and say they went underground.

BUFFY: Vampires really jam on sewer systems. You can get anywhere in the entire town without catching any rays. But I didn't see any access around there.

XANDER: Well, there's an electrical tunnel that runs under the whole town.

GILES: If we had a diagnostic of the tunnel system it might indicate a, a meeting place, it would, uh... I suppose we could go to the building commission.

BUFFY: We *so* don't have time.

WILLOW: Uh, guys? There may be another way.
