ANDREW: No one's here. These kinda places make me feel funny inside.

SPIKE: I'll buy that. You and me got something else in common after all.

ANDREW:(attacked) Spike!

SPIKE: Tell me about the mark.

MONK: Oh...

SPIKE: Hey! Are you part of Caleb's faction?

MONK: No! No!

SPIKE: Then tell me what happened.

MONK: I c-can't.

ANDREW: "Can't" is a 4-letter word! I'm Andrew. I'll be your bad cop this evening. You don't start singing, my associate here?

SPIKE: We're trying to fight him. Caleb. We need your help.

MONK: You can't fight him. You can't stop him. You can only run.

ANDREW: "Run" is a 4-letter wor? (catches himself ) A 3-letter word.

SPIKE: Talk.

MONK: I'll do better. I'll show you. One night, some time ago, a man arrived at our doors.

SPIKE: And you said, "come in, do some damage"?

MONK: We are?we are a benevolent order, and, yes, we welcomed him. We offered to feed him... but he had come for something else. Behind this, he revealed something even we didn't know was here. A secret room. He was excited, talking the whole time... destiny, that sort of thing.

SPIKE: Yeah. We hear he's a real smooth talker.

MONK: He was going on about this ancient inscription.

ANDREW: Neat.

MONK: He read it... and he didn't like what it said. His temper... He was the purest evil I've ever seen. He burned his mark upon me. And then I ran and I hid... and I listened to the others die.

ANDREW: Running away...saved your life. (to Spike) What does it say?

(The inscription is Latin words written with Greek letters: Non tibi est. Ei solae tractare licet.)

SPIKE: "It is not for thee. It is for her alone to wield."
