Buffy: So Maggie sends me down into the sewers with one of those blasto guns and the next thing I know it's raining monsters.
Xander: Hallelujah.
Buffy: And then this gate slams down behind me and I-I try to use the gun but it goes pfft.
Giles: You're saying that Maggie Walsh set you up?
Buffy: That's exactly what I'm saying. She sent me on a one way recon.
Spike: Got to hand it to you, Goldilocks - you do have bleeding tragic taste in men. I've got a cousin married to a regurgitating Frovlax demon that's got better instincts than you.
Buffy: What does my taste in men have to do with this?
