XANDER: Well, the bus depot was a total washout. And may I say what a lovely place to spend the night. What a vibrant cross-section of Americana.

GILES: No vampires transporting boxes?

XANDER: No, but a four-hundred-pound wino offered to wash my hair. What's up? Where's Buffy?

WILLOW: She never checked in.

GILES: If the bus depot is as empty as the... docks and the airport...

XANDER: Do you think this Judge guy's already been assembled?

GILES: Yes.

XANDER: Then Buffy could be... Okay, we gotta find 'em. Um, we gotta go to that place, that, uh, that factory. That's where they're holed up, right? Let's go.

CORDELIA: And do what? Besides be afraid and die.

XANDER: Well, nobody's asking you to go, Cordelia. If the vampires need grooming tips we'll give you a call.

GILES: Cordelia has a point. Now, i-i-if Buffy and Angel were, were... harmed, then we don't stand to fare much better.

XANDER: Yeah? Well, those of us who were born with feelings are gonna do something about this.

JENNY: Xander.

WILLOW: No, Xander's right! My God, you people are all... Well, I'm upset, and I can't think of a mean word right now, but that's what you are, and we're going to the factory!

XANDER: Yeah!

WILLOW: Buffy!

XANDER: We were just going to rescue you.

WILLOW: Well, some of us were.

GILES: Well, I-I would have.

JENNY: Where's Angel?

BUFFY: He didn't check in with you guys?

GILES: No.

CORDELIA: What happened?

GILES: The Judge, i-is he...

BUFFY: No assembly required. He's active.

GILES: Oh, damn it.

BUFFY: He nearly killed us. Angel got us out.

GILES: Why didn't you call? We, we, we thought...

BUFFY: Well, we, we had to hide. Uh, we got stuck in the sewer tunnels, and with the hiding, we just split up... Uh, no one's heard from him?

WILLOW: I'm sure he'll come by.

BUFFY: Yeah, I'm, I'm sure you're right.

GILES: Buffy, the Judge, we, we must stop him.

BUFFY: I know.

GILES: What can you tell us?

BUFFY: Not much. I, um... I kicked him. It was just like a sudden fever. If he'd got his hands on me...

GILES: In time, he won't need to. The stronger he gets, he'll be able to reduce us to charcoal with a look.

BUFFY: Also, not the prettiest man in town.

GILES: I better continue researching, must look for a weak spot. The rest of you should get to your classes.

JENNY: Yeah, I better go, too.

XANDER: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

WILLOW: Buffy, wait up!

JENNY: (to Giles) I'll, uh, go on the 'Net and search for anything on the Judge.

GILES: Thank you.

XANDER: After classes I'll come back and help you research.

CORDELIA: Yeah, you might find something useful if it's in an 'I Can Read' book.

WILLOW: You don't think Angel would have gone after the Judge himself, do you?

BUFFY: No, he'd know better than that. Maybe he just needed... I don't know. I just, I wish he'd contact me. I need to talk to him.
