BUFFY: Willow. Open a door.

(outside. A hole appears in the barrier as Buffy comes out of the building followed by Xander.)

DANTE: Speak.

BUFFY: One of my friends was hurt when you attacked us.

DANTE: And ten of my men are dead. Honorable men. (draws his sword) Shall we balance the scale?

BUFFY: Will you let someone come and help him or not?

DANTE: Give quarter to an agent of the beast? What madness would move me to such action?

BUFFY: I'm done asking.

(Buffy starts forward but Xander intervenes, stopping her, as the knights were preparing for Buffy's attack.)

XANDER: Whoa! Hey! This is war, isn't it? And if there's one thing I've learned from Sergeant Rock, it's that in war, there are rules. Or at least there should be if you're as honorable as you *think* you are. Plus we do have your general forehead guy.
