(Buffy enters the backroom, and is instantly tackled by a flying Riley)

BUFFY: Unh! Ow, Riley...

(They get up. )

RILEY: Just keeping you on your toes.

BUFFY: Or off them, as it were. What's gotten into-

(She stops as she looks around the room and sees it for the first time.)

BUFFY: Oh my god. Look at this place!

(Long shot of the room. We see a punching bag hanging from the ceiling, a vault horse atop a set of mays, a stationary bike, and a scarecrow/dummy. In the background there's something that looks like a mini-fridge(?). Against the far wall there's a set of weights. Symbols are painted on the floor and walls.)

BUFFY: Thank you. (to Giles) Thank you ... so much.

GILES: It's just a start, you need a proper space to train, so-

BUFFY: I love it.

RILEY: (grinning) So come on, let's test this puppy out. Think you can take me?

(he throws a few fake punches at Buffy. She mostly ignores him, walking farther into the room.)

RILEY: What's the matter, afraid of a little competition?

BUFFY: It must have been so much work.

XANDER: I'm the dummy man. I mean, I ... made the dummy. (gestures at it) The thing that you hit that doesn't hit back. That, I made.

BUFFY: It's great. (to Giles) I-it's all great.

GILES: Well, you've earned it. Truly.

BUFFY: Thank you guys so much. You're like my ... fairy godmother and Santa Claus and Q all wrapped up into one. Q from Bond, not Star Trek. I'm gonna go change.
