DAWN: A-and then whoosh! All of a sudden Glory's standing right there in front of us, all skanky and blonde and thinkin' she's all that just 'cause some bumpy heads kiss her stinky feet ... (pauses, very quietly) She does have nice feet. (louder) A-and she's comin' right at us, and- Buffy's just standing there not even blinking, like "Bring it on," and then, wham! (smacks one fist into the other hand) Hell-bitch in orbit.
XANDER: Go, Buff!
GILES: I knew you'd best Glory eventually, I mean all-all our years of training-
BUFFY: (still staring out the window) A truck hit her.

Buffy: What do you mean "see" spells?
Giles: Well, all spells leave a trace signature. It's just not perceptible to the human eye. In this case, it could be the image of a hand choking your mother.
Anya: Or a cloud of mist around her.
Willow: Or maybe the shape of the demon that's performing the spell?
Giles: Possible, yes.
Buffy: Okay, so I'll do what Monsieur Silk Knickers did. I'll go home, I'll get trancey and I'll see what's affecting my mom.
Willow: I don't know, Buffy. Trances?
Giles: Yes, Buffy, the Sorcerer Cloutier was legendary. His skills at achieving higher states of consciousness were-
Buffy: Better than mine? (to Willow) I knew he was gonna say that.
