(Wes is talking to the Nahdrahs with Lorne translating.)

WESLEY: The Internet article I'm currently writing posits a formula for the genome mapping of creatures who don't have genes. - It's an exciting arena.

LORNE: One I'm sure we can all download at 'I'll never know the love of a woman dot com.' Ah, can we get down to business? They want to buy your head. - Little rusty with the language. I should probably clarify that.

(Lorne clicks away at the Nahdrahs. One of them holds up a metal suit case.)

LORNE: They want your mind. They're celebrating their prince's, uh - it's - it's like a birthday, only they're not born so much as disgorged. They - they need you to solve one of their traditional puzzles so they can give it to him. It's quite an honor.

WESLEY: Could be interesting.

(Fred has come up and looks at the Nahdrah's robes.)

FRED: Sure. These are puzzle people. Did you notice the designs on their tunics? Geometric shapes. Each a prime number, if you count their edges, arranged in ascending order of exponential accumulation.

WESLEY: Yes, I did - not - notice that at all.

(Fred grins back at him, while the Nahdrahs start clicking away at Lorne.)

LORNE: Ah, they wanna know why your girlfriend was pointing at them. I better tell them what she said before we have an international incident.

WESLEY: Ah, she's not my...

(Lots of excited clicking going on by the Nahdrahs.)

WESLEY: Silly.

(The Nahrdahs leave in a hurry.)

FRED: Did I say something wrong?

LORNE: No. No, they liked *you.*

FRED: So much they ran away?

LORNE: They either have to consult with their prince or go eat a cheese monkey. Did-did I mention rusty with the lingo?

GUNN: Wes? I think I'm gonna need you on this one.
