(door bell rings)

BUFFY: That's Owen!

(Cut to Buffy opening the door.)

BUFFY: That's Giles.

GILES: We need to talk.

BUFFY: Buffy's not home. (tries to close the door)

GILES: (pushes the door open and comes in) My calculations may not have been as far off as I thought. (holds up a newspaper)

BUFFY: (reads) 'Five Die in Van Accident'?

GILES: Out of the ashes of five shall rise the one. That's the prophecy. Five people have died!

BUFFY: In a car crash.

GILES: I know it doesn't quite follow, but, but it's worth investigating. Look! Among the dead was Andrew Borba, whom the police sought for questioning in a double murder. Now, he may be the Anointed One. The, the bodies have been taken to, to Sunnydale Funeral Home, w-we can...

BUFFY: (interrupts) Giles, why do you wanna hurt me?

GILES: I beg your pardon?

Owen: (shows up at the open door) Hey! (comes in) Uh, hi!

GILES: You have a date?

BUFFY: Yes, but I will return those overdue books by tomorrow.

GILES: Wait, you're not getting off that easily.

Owen: Man, you really care about your work!

WILLOW: Uh, Owen?

XANDER: Yeah, a couple of things about tonight.

(Willow and Xander lead Owen into the living room.)

GILES: Another date? Don't you ever do anything else?

BUFFY: This is the first date! There's never been a date, okay? This is my maiden voyage!
