(Xander's aparment, mid interview)

ANYA: Anya Christina Emanuella Jenkins, twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July, and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. Who's our little patriot? they'd say, when I was younger, and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

PHILIP: (taking notes) So, you spell it A-N-Y-A, yes?

ANYA: Yes.

PHILIP: Fine, now we can get to the questions.

(...)

XANDER: *Best* friends. Willow and me and Buffy. The three of us have been together from the beginning. We've always gone on patrols, and uh, done demon research with her and everything.

PHILIP: Have you mastered any fighting disciplines over the years?

XANDER: No.

PHILIP: So, you have no special skills, or powers, or knowledge that you bring to the mix. Neither of you.

ANYA: Just enthusiasm for killing the demons. Go deadness for the demons.

XANDER: I don't have any powers, but I do help.

PHILIP: How? Be specific.

XANDER: Last year, uh, Willow, Giles and me combined our essences with Buffy, which isn't as weird as it sounds. (laughs nervously) We merged, and I was the heart part of a super-Buffy. Again, let me stress the not-as-weird thing.

ANYA: I'm told it was all very professional.

(...)

PHILIP: Do either of you know anything about the key?

ANYA: Nope, but it sounds demony to me. I don't hold with that demon nonsense.

(she picks up a basket of muffins and holds it toward Philip)

ANYA: Muffin? I cooked them myself.

(Philip gestures to indicate no thanks)

PHILIP: So, Buffy sometimes protects you from the dangerous elements of her work.

XANDER: Yes. She's saved my life lots of times. The vampires in this town hate her.
