(Willy's bar)

Willy: You're killing me here.

BUFFY: Oh, I missed you, too. The joint's jumping.

Willy: Yeah. You know. Making some changes with my life. I'm getting away from my old image.

BUFFY: You mean as a double-dealing snitch?

Willy: Uh-huh. I know you gonna think I'm blowing smoke, but after those apocalypse demons nearly did me in, I had an experience of the spiritual variety.

BUFFY: (not caring) That's swell, really. But I need to know if you've heard anything about a Polgara demon doing some killings in the last few of days.

Willy: See, uh, that's the think. I don't talk behind people's backs no more. And I'm bringing some class to the joint. You know? It's "Willy's Place" now. See? (indicates neon sign on the wall) Brings in a better clientele. I got one of those deep friers. These demons just go crazy for chicken fingers. Look, if they see me dealing with you, then I'm just the same old Willy working both sides of the street.

BUFFY: I'm gonna have to punch you, aren't I?

Willy: (not missing a beat) Just once and it don't have to hurt. Just make it look good.

Willy: Oww! Oh!

BUFFY: (whispering) Not yet, I haven't touched you!

Willy: Oh, sorry. Right. Right. G-go ahead. Wait. (louder voice) No. I can't talk to you--oww!

(Buffy straight-jabs him in the nose and now he's really hurting.)

Willy: Ohhhh!

BUFFY: What have you heard about the Polgara?

Willy: (still in pain) Heard there was one about a week or two back. Word was you got him. You and those army guys.

BUFFY: And that was the last you heard?

Willy: Yeah. As far as I know, he's off the streets.

BUFFY: What about those army guys? What do you know? You heard anything about 314?
