(shiny conference room)

RILEY: Hey there, killer.

BUFFY: Riley? You're back.

RILEY: I never left.

BUFFY: But how did the debriefing go?

RILEY: I told you not to worry about that. It went great. They made me surgeon general.

BUFFY: Why didn't you come and tell me? We could have celebrated.

RILEY: Oh. We're drawing up a plan for world domination. The key element? Coffeemakers that think.

BUFFY: World domination? I-is that a good?

RILEY: Baby, we're the government.

RILEY: It's what we do.

ADAM: She's uncomfortable with certain concepts. It's understandable. Aggression is a natural human tendency. (Looks at Buffy) Though you and me come by it another way.

BUFFY: We're not demons.

ADAM: Is that a fact?

RILEY: Buffy, we've got important work here. A lot of filing, giving things names.

BUFFY: What was yours?

ADAM: Before Adam? Not a man among us can remember.
