[veronyxk84]

BUFFY: So, what's on tap tonight that's so important? Uprising, prophesied ritual, preordained deathfest?
XANDER: Ah, the old standards!
GILES: Um, a medical transport is delivering the monthly supply of blood to the hospital.
BUFFY: Mm. Vampire Meals-On-Wheels.
GILES: Hopefully not. Uh, we'll meet outside the hospital at 8:30 sharp. I'll bring the weapons.
BUFFY: I'll bring the party mix!
GILES: Just don't be late.
BUFFY: Have I ever let you down?
GILES: Do you want me to answer that, or shall I just glare?.
