GILES: Ah! Ah! Ah! Yes! Here. 'In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her powercenter. This should reverse all the wishes she's granted, rendering her mortal and powerless again.' You see? Without her powercenter, she'd j-just be a-a-an ordinary woman again, and all this would be, um... well, different. Well, I'd say that my, my Watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.

BUFFY: (unimpresssed) Great. What's her powercenter?

GILES: Um, well, um, um... It doesn't say.

BUFFY: Why don't I just put a stake through her heart?

GILES: She's not a vampire.

BUFFY: Mm, well, you'd be surprised how many things that'll kill.

GILES: I don't want to kill her, Miss Summers. I want to reverse whatever effect she's had on this, this... world.

BUFFY: You're taking an awful lot on faith here, Jeeves.

GILES: Giles.

BUFFY: (shrugs) Kill the bad fairy... destroy the bad fairy's powercenter, whatever, and all the troubles go away?

GILES: Yeah, well, I'm sure it's not that simple, but...

BUFFY: (interrupts) World is what it is. We fight. We die. Wishing doesn't change that.

GILES: I have to believe in a better world.

BUFFY: Go ahead. I have to live in this one.
