GILES: You alright, Buffy? You seem a little fatigued.

BUFFY: Rough night. I had a dream that Drusilla was alive and she killed Angel. I-it just really freaked me out.

GILES: You fear it was more of a, a... a portent?

BUFFY: See, I don't know. I don't wanna start a big freakout over nothing.

GILES: Still, best to be, uh, on the alert. If Drusilla is alive, i-i- it could be a fairly... cataclysmic state of affairs.

XANDER: Again, so many words! Couldn't you just say, 'we'd be in trouble'?

GILES: Go to class, Xander.

XANDER: Gone. Notice the economy of phrasing: 'gone.' Simple. Direct.
