VI: We should run.

KENNEDY: And go where, Vi?

DAWN: Annabelle ran. Look where it got her.

BUFFY: Safer in than out.

MOLLY: How can you say that? It was here, Buffy, in the house, living with us for days.

CHLOE: And you didn't even know it.

XANDER: Well, none of us knew it.

VI: It could still be here. It could be any one of us.

WILLOW: No, The First can only take the form of dead people.

RONA: Yeah, well there'll be plenty more of those soon enough. We're dropping like flies here.

BUFFY: Hey! Look, I know you're all scared. You know what? I am too, but Giles and Anya will be back soon, and hopefully they will have the information that we need to stop The First. In the mean time, we need to stick together. OK? We're stronger that way. We cannot afford to fall apart now.

ANDREW: She's right. Where would the Justice League have been if they hadn't put their differences aside to stop the Imperium and his shape-shifting alien horde?

BUFFY: Don't help me.

XANDER: Buff, the sun goes down, and UberVamp's on its way. So a plan'd be good right about now.

BUFFY: Will, I'm sorry to ask, but?

WILLOW: I know, we need a barrier.

BUFFY: A major one. Something tells me this vampire doesn't need an invite to get into the house. Can you do it?

WILLOW: I'll try.

RONA: Try?

KENNEDY: You heard her.

XANDER: Buff, are you sure about Willow doing the hocus pocus again? I?I mean, last time she?

BUFFY: Xander, we don't have a lot of choices.

CHLOE: And what if that doesn't work? What if that monster gets through?

BUFFY: Then we'll deal.

RONA: Deal? Fight, you mean. How are we supposed to do that?

VI: And with what?

KENNEDY: With whatever it takes! (to Buffy) Right?

MOLLY: Buffy, you fought the Turok-Han, and it almost killed you.

CHLOE: And you're the real slayer.

RONA: Wh-what chance do we have?

MOLLY: Honestly, you staked that thing, and it didn't die.

DAWN: No, but that doesn't?

VI: Maybe it can't be killed.

DAWN: That mean we shouldn't try?

RONA: There's that word again.

KENNEDY: Hey, it's a good word.

CHLOE: Give up. Can we do that? Surrender, I mean, so it won't kill us.

(Buffy walks into the kitchen. Willow stands up to follow her, and walks past Xander.)

XANDER: (jumps, stares at Willow) What?

KENNEDY: (to Xander) I said trying is good.

XANDER: I just thought it beared repeating.

(leaves the room, follows Buffy and Willow into the kitchen)



DAWN: Um, and exactly how many UberVamps were at the Geneva Convention?

KENNEDY: Come on, we're all potential slayers. You know how to fight even if you don't know how you know it.

VI: Fighting's one thing. Winning's another.

CHLOE: I don't want to die.
