BUFFY: Now, this guy shows up two days ago, right? Right around the same time my bestest new little sister makes the scene.
GILES: You think he and Faith are connected?
BUFFY: Giles, there are two things that I don't believe in: coincidence and leprechauns.
GILES: Well, Buffy, it's entirely possible that they both arrived here by chance simultaneously.
BUFFY: Okay, but I was right about the leprechauns, right?
