BUFFY: I'm not leaving Dawn. Not with Glory looking for her.
Dawn enters in time to hear this.
DAWN: Sure you can. (sits next to Buffy) What's the deal?
GILES: Some Slayers before Buffy found it helpful in ... regaining their focus, learning more about their role. There's a sacred place in the desert. It's, it's not far.
BUFFY: But I can't go. (to Dawn) I'm not leaving you, Dawn.
DAWN: If you have to go learn ... I mean, if it'll help you out ... I think you should do it. (shot of Giles smiling) I can hang with the gang. I'll be okay.
Buffy looks at Giles, turns to Dawn and puts an arm around her.
BUFFY: I love you, Dawn. You know that, right?
DAWN: Yeah. I love you too.
BUFFY: I love you ... (intensely) *really* love you.
DAWN: (nervous grin) Gettin' weird.
BUFFY: Sorry. But it's important that I tell you. Weird love's better than no love.
