TARA: I just think we haven't thought of the right way out yet, that's all.

SPIKE: Well, we can't just stay put like cattle, waiting for that thing to pop out every time it gets peckish.

TARA: I'd say we do another spell, but I, I think we've tried everything.

ANYA: Well ... that's not completely true, is it? I mean, not everything. (looks at Willow) Not exactly. (Willow looking nervous) We're sitting here with an incredibly powerful witch ... much more powerful than you, Tara, I'm sorry ... only no one seems willing to say it.

WILLOW: I can't.

ANYA: No, see, that's not exactly true either. (angrily) Not can't, won't.

WILLOW: You don't know how much I hate this. I don't know if there's even ... anything I could do.

ANYA: Yes ... and a good way to find out is to sit around and try nothing. That was sarcasm, by the way.

SPIKE: (intevening for Willow) Look-

WILLOW: It's dangerous.

ANYA: And so is all of us dying!

XANDER: Will ... look, I don't wanna gang up on you ... but Anya kinda has a point. We brought you back from it once. We're all here, it's just one little spell, whatever happens, we can bring you back again.

WILLOW: (firmly) No. I can't. (to Anya) If I start, I ... I might not be able to stop.

ANYA: And whose fault is that? You know, if you hadn't gotten so much of this in your system in the first place-

TARA: (stepping between Anya & Willow) Hey! You're gonna back off! She said no, and that's it. You're not gonna make her do something that she doesn't want to. And if you try... You're gonna have to go through me first. Understood?

ANYA: Fine. If you all aren't willing to get us out of this, then I will do it myself.
