Giles: Willow?
Willow: Don't warn the tadpoles!
Giles: Are you alright?
Willow: Giles, what are you doing here?
Giles: It's the library, Willow. You fell asleep.
Willow: (looks around) Oh! I...
Giles: Don't warn the tadpoles?
Willow: I... I have frog fear.
Giles: Oh.
Willow: I'm sorry. I conked out.
Giles: What? Please. You've gone quite beyond the call of duty. (sits) But, but, I-I... uh, fortunately, I think I may have found something finally.
Willow: You did?
Giles: I-I found a-a description of the missing Du Lac manuscript. It's a ritual, Willow. Now, I-I, uh... (gets up to pace) I haven't managed to decipher the exact details, but I-I... I believe the purpose is to restore a weak and sick vampire back to full health.
Willow: A vampire like Drusilla?
Giles: Exactly.
