XANDER: Thanks, Anya. For getting here so fast. It's a big help.

ANYA: And once again, we Xander needed the big help.

XANDER: Whatever. So? Can you still sense Willow? Knowing her location'd be a real big comfort right about now.

ANYA: No. I can't. Which means whatever she's feeling, it's gone way beyond simple vengeance.

XANDER: Did I mention me needing the comfort?

BUFFY: Whatever we've got here, better grab it fast. This is going to be one of the first places Willow would think to look for us.

ANDREW: Then what are we doing here? You know - I could summon a demon that would kill her.

XANDER: And I could smack you so hard your eyeballs'd switch sockets.

BUFFY: No one is getting killed. Sit down. (to Anya) We need to find some sort of Magicks that'll stop Willow. Or at least slow her down.

XANDER: She drained the place. Took everything.

ANYA: Not everything.

XANDER: What is it?

ANYA: Book of protection spells. Anti- Magic. Our last resort.

XANDER: Think you can work this stuff?

ANYA: Ah. Okay. Well, the good news is - text is intact. Bad news is - I can't read a word of it. It's like in, ancient Sumerian or something.

JONATHAN: Can I take a look at it?

BUFFY: Shut up.

JONATHAN: Right. I just thought, you know, as long as you're protecting us, the least I could do is...

BUFFY: I'm not protecting you, Jonathan. None of us are. We're doing this for Willow. The only reason it happens to be *your* lucky day is because she kills you, she crosses a line, I lose a friend. And I hate losing.

JONATHAN: I get that. It's just... you know she's running out of power, right? I could tell, I could practically feel it. I've dabbled in Magicks.

XANDER: I think Willow's in a league of her own about now, dabble-boy.

JONATHAN: But still - running that hot for that long... Just a matter of time before you gotta re-charge. No matter how juiced up you are.

BUFFY: Thank you. Now you remember that thing we talked about?

JONATHAN: About me shutting up?

(slinks off)

XANDER: Buffy, let's say this works. And we stop Willow from working the hoodoo for a minute. What then?

BUFFY: I talk to her.

XANDER: Great. And say what?

BUFFY: Look, whatever she's gonna to do, she starts with these two. They're the line she cannot cross. And if she is running low on Magicks ...then she's probably somewhere right now trying to get it all back.
