XANDER: Dawnie, what's the book say?

DAWN: Not much. Once Buffy left, it got a little tougher to read. (reveals book is blank)

WILLOW: Oh.

KENNEDY: It's OK. We'll just start with what we know, and take it from there.

XANDER: Great, so far we know jack about squat. Let's go from there.

KENNEDY: You've got the magic, use it.

WILLOW: I-I-I don't even know what magic to use.

KENNEDY: Why not just try all 32 flavors. Worst thing that happens is you go brunette.

WILLOW: That's not the worst thing that can happen.

ANYA: She's right. And you know we have a choice. We can risk Willow's life and the rest of our lives to get Buffy back, or we leave her out there.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: If we play it safe back here, Buffy could stay lost.

ANYA: You missed her "everyone sucks but me" speech. If she's so superior, let her find her own way back.

XANDER: Anya, the First is already up and running. Every second that Buffy's not here, is an opportunity for it to show up and rip us to pieces.

DAWN: Willow, how would you get Buffy back?

WILLOW: That's what I'm saying?I don't even know.

DAWN: OK, but if another witch was to do it, where would she start?

WILLOW: Uh, physics, principles, basic laws...

DAWN: Such as?

WILLOW: Uh, conservation of energies. You can't really create or destroy anything, only transfer.

(Anya scoffs)

DAWN: I'm sorry, are you helping?

ANYA: No, but at least I'm not galloping off in the wrong direction.

WILLOW: Magic works off physics.

ANYA: Not without a catalyst. If you're talking about transferring energies, you need some kind of conduit.

WILLOW: Like a-a Kraken's tooth.

ANYA: Yeah, skin of Draconis, um, ground up Baltic stones, something...

DAWN: OK. Good.

KENNEDY: Plus, we need an exchange, like you said. I'm thinking a slayer for a demon.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Right. If we want Buffy back, then we have to find that demon and send it through.

KENNEDY: It matter if it's dead or alive?

SPIKE: (standing in the doorway now) I vote dead. The slayer's counting on you, Willow. Get cracking on that portal, and don't be stingy with the mojo. The demon's mine.

KENNEDY: Hate to say it, "Big Bad," but you look like you can barely stand. We're trained. And the only thing we know for sure about this demon is it kicked your ass.

SPIKE: It did, at that.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Where are you going?

SPIKE: Something I need.
