No luck reaching Cordelia?
I've left a few messages. Sixty, seventy... but you know what really bugs me? [to Willow] OK, we kissed. It was a mistake. But I know that was positively the last time we were ever gonna kiss.
Darn tootin'!
And they burst in, rescuing us, without even knocking? I mean, this is really all their fault.
Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.
Mine is much more advanced.
[about Willow and Xander] No, no, no way! I wish us into Bizarro-land and you guys are still together? I cannot win!
Probably not, [changes to vampire face] but I'll give you a head start.
Hmm, Buffy. Oooh. Scary.
Someone has to talk to her people. That name is striking fear in nobody's hearts.
Cordelia Chase. What did she wish for?
I had no idea her wish would be so exciting! 'Brave new world.' I hope she likes it.
You're gonna change it back. I'm not afraid of you. Your only power lies in the wishing.
Wrong! This is the real world now. This is the world we made. Isn't it wonderful?
[Giles snatches her glowing necklace and breaks free of her grasp, then grabbing a heavy object from his desk, raises his arm to smash the amulet.]
You trusting fool. How do you know the other world is any better than this?
Because it has to be.
I wish Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale!
Done! [nothing happens, Anya is confused]
No! I wish Buffy Summers had never been born! That would be cool!
Done! [again nothing happens]
And I wish that Xander Harris never again knows the touch of a woman. And that Willow wakes up tomorrow covered in monkey hair.
Done!
In fact, I wish all men except maybe the dumb and the really agreeable kind disappear off the face of the earth. That would be so cool! Or maybe...
[choking and grunting] Nnrrf! Nnrrf!
Oh, God. Demon, demon. What kills a demon?!
[choking and grunting] Nnrrf! Nnrrf!
Oh, nerf. Not nerf. Knife!
Okay. That was too close for comfort. Not that slaying's ever comfy, but, you know what I mean? [sighs] If you guys hadn't been here to help...
But we were. And we did. And-and we're all fine. [sighs] Isn't he gonna go poof?
Um, I guess these guys don't. We'll have to bury him or something. [groans] Makes you appreciate vamps though. No fuss, no muss.
So how come Faith was a no-show? I thought mucus-y demons were her favorites.
Couldn't reach her. Again. She hasn't been hanging out much.
I detect worry.
A little bit. Slaying's a rough gig. Too much alone time isn't healthy. Stuff gets pent up.
We should try to do more socializing with her.
Well, burial detail aside, does this cap us off for the day?
You got plans?
I cannot stress enough how much I don't have plans.
No luck reaching Cordelia?
I've left a few messages. 60. 70. But you know what really bugs me? [to Willow] Okay, we kissed. It was a mistake. But I know that was positively the last time we were ever gonna kiss.
Darn tootin'!
And they burst in, rescuing us, without even knocking? I mean, this is really all their fault.
Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.
Mine is much more advanced.
At least tomorrow's Monday, another school day.
Well. that's good. You know, focus on school. That's the strong Willow way to heal.
Actually, I was more thinking Oz will be there, and I can beg for forgiveness.
That works, too.
I-I wanna be strong Willow. But then I think I may never get to be close to Oz again, and it's like all the air just goes out of the room.
I know the feeling.
Right. I mean, you went through it with Angel, and you're still standing. So tell us, wise one, how do you deal?
I have you guys.
Buffy Summers. That's when all my trouble started. When she moved here.
You okay?
Oh, I just pulled some stitches last night. Know why? Surprise. It was Buffy's fault.
Oh, hey, it's Garbage Girl. Loved the look last night, Cor. Dumpster chic for the dumped.
[chuckles] Yeah. [chuckling] Oh, God.
Here. I think you need this more than I do right now.
Yeah, I could use some luck. And a stick with pointy, sharp bits. If that Buffy wasn't, I swear.
She's a pain. But Xander, he's an... utter loser. Don't you wish...
I never would've looked twice at Xander if Buffy hadn't made him marginally cooler by hanging with him.
Really?
Yeah, I swear. I wish Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale. [gasps]
Done.
[reading] "In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her power center. This should reverse all the wishes she's granted rendering her mortal and powerless again." You see? Without her power center, she-she'd j-just be a-a-an ordinary woman again. And all this would be, um... well, different... Well, I'd say that my... my Watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.
[sarcastic] Great. What's her power center?
[checks the book] Um, well, um, uh... It doesn't say.
Why don't I just put a stake through her heart?
She's not a vampire.
Well, you'd be surprised how many things that'll kill.
I don't want to kill her, Miss Summers. I want to reverse whatever effect she's had on this-this world.
[sighs] You're taking an awful lot on faith here, Jeeves.
Giles.
Kill the bad fairy, destroy the bad fairy's power center, whatever... and all the troubles go away?
