Buffy: Cool! Crossbow! Huh. Check out these babies. Hmm. Goodbye stakes, hello flying fatality. What can I shoot?
Giles: Um, nothing. The crossbow comes later.
Giles: You must first become proficient with the basic tools of combat. And let's begin… with the quarterstaff. Which, incidentally, will, uh, require countless hours of vigorous training. I speak from experience.
Buffy: Giles, 20th Century? I'm not gonna be fighting Friar Tuck.
Giles: You never know with whom or what you'll be fighting. And these traditions have been handed down through the ages. Now, you show me good, steady progress with the quarterstaff, and in due course we'll discuss the crossbow. Put on your pads.
Buffy: I'm not gonna need pads to fight you.
Giles: Well, we'll see about that. En garde!
He makes several thrusts and she parries them all. She takes the offensive, pushes his staff to the floor and punches him in the face. She comes around with the staff into his back, and again to knock his legs out from under him. He falls onto his back. She stands over him.
Giles: Good. Let's move on to the crossbow.
