DONNY: Uh, are all these magic books?

GILES: Uh, private collection. Uh, books for sale are against the walls over there.

DONNY: So all these books got spells in 'em? Turn people into frogs, things like that?

XANDER: Yeah, we're building a race of frog people. It's a good time.

DONNY: So, uh... You all witches? Hey, don't do a spell on me now. (Laughs)

GILES: Was there something in particular you were looking for?

DONNY: Whatta you know.

DONNY: Well, duh, birthday girl. Uh, we came down in the camper, been all over the campus.

TARA: Okay.

MR. MACLAY: Why don't I pick you up at six, And we'll ... do some catching up.

TARA: Yes, sir.

MR. MACLAY: (to the others) Forgive me for running out. We're double-parked.
