[When Buffy and Riley are attacked by a vampire-demon tag-team.]
Okay, you get Fangs, I'll get Horny. I mean...

AAnya
So? She's a Slayer, he's a big soldier boy. What do they need you for?
Anya, look around: there's ghosts and shaking and people are going all Felicity with their hair. We're fresh out of super-people and somebody's gotta go back in there. Now, who's with me?
I am. I know I'm not the first choice for heroics, and Buffy's tried to kill me more than once, and I don't fancy a single one of you at all, but... Actually, all that sounds pretty convincing. [walks off.] I wonder if Asian House is open.
[Giles is singing and playing "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who at an espresso bar. Anya, Willow, Xander and Tara watch from the door, amazed. All three girls are riveted; Willow's and Anya's mouths are hanging open.]
AAnya
Oh.
Wow.
Um, could we go back to the haunted house? Cause, this is creeping me out.
Does he do this a lot?
[sarcastic.] Sure. Every day the earth rotates backward and the skies turn orange.
Now I remember why I used to have such a crush on him.
Well, he is pretty good.
AAnya
His voice is... pleasant.
[incredulous.] What?!
Oh, come on, he is kinda sexy.
I'm fighting total mental breakdown here, Will. No more fueling the fire, please.
So with Buffy and Riley having... you know, acts of nakedness 'round the clock lately maybe they set something free, like a big, bursting poltergasm.
When you called to Buffy and Riley didn't cry out or respond in any way.
AAnya
No, they're probably dead.
Unless they're too busy doing it to answer.
Doing what?
You know, for a god of acoustic rock you're... kind of naive.
I didn't think you meant... In the midst of all that? Do you really think they were keeping it up?
[long awkward pause]
Oh, for different phrasing.
I believe we're dealing with a kind of poltergeist. A whole cluster of them, in fact, born out of intense adolescent emotion and sexual energy.
AAnya
Both of which were totally pent up during Mrs. Holt's reign of repression.
So with Buffy and Riley having... you know, acts of nakedness 'round the clock lately, maybe they set something free. Like a big, bursting poltergasm.
I can't believe it really happened.
I just had no idea. It's so creepy. He was really singing?
I'd say it was more like crooning. If we grow old together, remind me to skip the midlife crisis.
AAnya
Okay.
Come on, you have to admit, it was kind of sexy.
Please stop saying that. I'm willing to offer cash incentives.
We're just lucky no one got injured. No thanks to us.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
He's right, Will. If Riley and I hadn't, gotten so wrapped up in each other, none of this would have happened.
AAnya
True. Feel shame.
My girlfriend, mistress of the learning plateau.
Really, it wasn't your fault. You were under the influence of powerful magicks.
We were like zombies. I had no control over myself at all.
It must have been horrible.
Yeah. Horrible.
Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm.
It was bad.
