Giles: I was just trying to reach you.
Quentin: I was on watch over by the boardinghouse.
Giles: Then you know what's happened.
Quentin: Yes.
Giles: He's killed Hobson and made Blair one of his own. Your perfectly controlled test seems to have spun rather impressively out of control, don't you think?
Quentin: It changes nothing.
Giles: Well, then, allow me. I've told Buffy everything.
Quentin: That is in direct opposition to the Council's orders.
Giles: Yes. Interestingly, I don't give a rat's ass about the Council's orders. There will be no test.
Quentin: The test has already begun. Your Slayer entered the field of play about ten minutes ago.
