Buffy: There. Find me the thing that uses this symbol and point me at it.
Giles: (thoughtfully) Hmm.
Buffy: Hmm. What? Giles, speak.
Giles: What? Oh, sorry. Um, no, it... I just wonder if we're looking for a thing. The use of a symbol o-o-on a victim like this suggests a, a ritual murder and a cult sacrifice by a group.
Buffy: A group of... human beings? Someone with a soul did this?
Giles: Yes, I'm afraid so.
He goes over to the bookshelves behind the table and starts his research. Buffy: Okay. Then while you're looking for the meaning of that symbol thingy, could you also find a loophole in that 'Slayers don't kill people' rule?

(looks at Cordelia with tears in his eyes) It's not working, Cordy. I tried. I tried to believe. I wanted it. Went along with the... the flow. (paces) Jasmine, she's...she's bringing peace to everyone, purging all of their hate and anger. But not me. (chuckles, then angrily) Not me! I know she's a lie. Jasmine. My whole life's been built on them. I just... I guess I thought this one was better than the others.
