TRAVERS: You used to respect us, Giles. You used to be one of us.

GILES: You used to pay me. If you recall, firing me was not my idea.

TRAVERS: Touche. But you were on the inside once. You know what sort of resources we command. We've discovered information about this creature, your Glory. Some of it is clearly vital, the rest merely extremely disturbing. And it won't be handed over until we're convinced that you and your Slayer are prepared for it. Thus the review.

GILES: I'm not having you put her through another one of your insane tests.

TRAVERS: It's not a test. It's a check of her methods. We need to know that this information is safe.

GILES: You can trust her. Buffy's come very far recently. She's acquired a remarkable focus.
