This isn't right, school on a Saturday. It throws off my internal clock.
When are we gonna need computers for real life, anyway?
Hmm. Let's see. There's home, school, work, games.
You know, computers are on their way out. I think paper's gonna make a big comeback.
And the abacus.
Yeah, you know, you don't see enough abaci. [scoffs]
Alright, guys, the first thing we're gonna do is... Buffy.
Huh? Did I fall asleep already?
Aw, you miss your friends?
Sit here, Buffs. Demilitarize the zone between me and Cordelia.
Yeah, and delouse him while you're at it.
Actually, I wanted to talk to you for a second.
Is something wrong?
Is there some crisis that requires instant action, very far from here?
It's Giles.
Well, he's all right, isn't he?
I don't know. He didn't show up when he was supposed to last night, and then, when I went over to his place, he was acting... well, very anti-Giles. He wouldn't let me in, and he looked really bad. I think he might have been... I think he was drinking.
He was home alone drinking?
But, tea, right?
It wasn't tea, Will.
Yup. Yup, I knew this would happen. Nobody can be would as straight and narrow as Giles without a dark side erupting. My uncle Rory was the stodgiest taxidermist you've ever met by day. By night it was booze, whores and fur flying. Were there whores?
He was alone.
Give it time.
So, none of you guys have noticed anything different lately?
No.
Not really.
You haven't seem anything weird?
Nope.
No, he seemed perfectly normal yesterday when I saw him talking to the police.
And you waited till now to tell us this because...?
I didn't think it was important.
We understand. It wasn't about you.
What were the police talking to him about?
Oh, don't tell me I know this one. Um... Something about, a homicide.
That's it. I'm calling him right now.
