W-what's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, watchers: that's just like other Giles-es, right?
Yeah, they're scary and horrible!

NNigel
I need to know a little bit more about the Slayer, and about the both of you. Your relationship, whatever you can tell me.
O-o-our relationship?
We're friends.
Good friends.
Girlfriends, actually.
Yes, we're girlfriends.
We're in love. We're... lovers. [puts hand on Tara's knee] We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.
NNigel
I meant your relationship with the Slayer.
[hastily] Um, just good friends. [Willow takes her hand off Tara's knee.]
Remember,-
Yeah, yeah. "Hurt them and I'll stake you good and proper". Sing me a new one sometime. That one's getting old.
I've had a lot of people talking at me the last few days. Everyone just lining up to tell me how unimportant I am. And I've finally figured out why. Power. I have it. They don't. This bothers them. Glory ... came to my home today.
[alarmed] Buffy, are you-
Just to talk. She told me I'm a bug, I'm a flea, she could squash me in a second. Only she didn't. She came into my home, and we talked. We had what in her warped brain probably passes for a civilized conversation. Why? Because she needs something from me. Because I have power over her. You guys didn't come all the way from England to determine whether or not I was good enough to be let back in. You came to beg me to let you back in. To give your jobs, your lives some semblance of meaning.
...
You're Watchers. Without a Slayer, you're pretty much just watchin' Masterpiece Theater. You can't stop Glory. You can't do anything with the information you have except maybe publish it in the Everyone Thinks We're Insane-O's Home Journal. So here's how it's gonna work. You're gonna tell me everything you know. Then you're gonna go away. You'll contact me if and when you have any further information about Glory. The magic shop will remain open. Mr. Giles will stay here as my official Watcher, reinstated at full salary...
[coughing] Retroactive.
Just tell me what kind of demon I'm fighting.
QTQuentin Travers
Well, that's the thing, you see. Glory isn't a demon.
What is she?
QQuentin
She's a god.
Oh.
