[first lines]
Buffy : They smell good, don't they?
Faith : What?
Buffy : Clean sheets. Like summer.
Faith : I wouldn't know.
Buffy : Right. I forgot.
Faith : I noticed.
Buffy : I-I wish I could stay, but...
Faith : Oh, you have to go.
Buffy : It's just with...
Faith : Little sis coming. I know. So much to do before she gets here.

[discussing an eviscerated demon they found in the woods]
Buffy : I've never seen anything like that.
Xander : And I can go a long healthy stretch without seeing anything like that again.
Willow : It had to be Adam who killed it, but why?
Buffy : He's studying biology. Human, demon, whatever he can get his hands on and tear apart.
Willow : Learning what makes things work.
Xander : I really don't wanna be around for the final exam.
Buffy : It's not coming to that. The Initiative created this thing, and they can't stop it. But we will.
Xander : Question. Will hiding in a cabin with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?
Buffy : No.
Xander : [to Willow] Told you.
-
Buffy : [on phone] Thank you. I'll let you know.
[hangs up]
Giles : What is it?
Buffy : It's Faith... She's awake... She beat someone up, took her clothing and disappeared out of the hospital. No one knows where she is.
Xander : I'd say this qualifies for a worse timing ever award.
Willow : What do we do?
Giles : Well, we have to find her.
Willow : What about Adam?
Xander : I'd hate to see the pursuit of a homicidal lunatic get in the way of pursuing a homicidal lunatic.
Buffy : Well, Faith's not exactly Low-Profile Girl. I'll patrol and wait for her to make a move.
Giles : And then what?
Willow : Oh, I have an idea. Beat the crap out of her.
[grins]
Xander : Good plan.
Buffy : Good on paper, but we still have a decision to make... Do we hand her over to the cops? They wouldn't know what to do with a Slayer even if they knew we existed.
Willow : What about the Council?
Xander : Been there, tried that. Not unlike smothering a forest fire with napalm, as I recall.
Giles : Well, the Initiative, they do have, uh, containment facilities.
Xander : One word. Evil.
Buffy : There's no way around it. Faith is back and, whether I like it or not, she's my responsibility.
Willow : Yeah. Too bad. That was the funnest coma ever.
Buffy : We have no idea where she is. We don't know what she's thinking, what she's feeling.
Xander : Who she's doing.
Buffy : She could be terrified. Maybe she doesn't even remember. Or-Or maybe she does and-and she's sorry and she's alone, hiding somewhere?
Giles : Well, uh, perhaps there's some form of, uh, rehabilitation we just haven't thought about.
Willow : And if not, ass-kicking makes a solid Plan "B."
Buffy : I'm not gonna rule it out. First thing, we need to find her. Then we can take it from there.
Riley : Who's Faith?
-
Riley Finn : All my life, that's what I've been groomed to do. They say jump, I ask how high, I get the job done... Just don't know if it's the right job anymore.
Buffy Summers : I know how you feel... Giles used to be part of this Council. And for years, *all* they ever did was give me orders.
Riley Finn : Ever obey them?
Buffy Summers : Sure... The ones I was going to do, anyway.

[Faith puts a device in her hand and grasps Buffy's hand, and there is a flash before Faith is knocked out]
Joyce Summers : [entering] You okay?
Buffy Summers : All things considered.
Joyce Summers : [regarding device in Buffy's hand] What is that?
Buffy Summers : Weapon of some kind.
[drops and crushes it]
Buffy Summers : Didn't work, whatever it was.
Joyce Summers : Oh, the police.
Buffy Summers : She's their problem now.
Joyce Summers : You sure you're okay?
Buffy Summers : Five by five.

Buffy Summers : Riley... I'm not leaving him down there with the people that created this thing. I don't care how many guns they have, I'm going in. Okay... Wil, I need you to hack into the security mainframe and buy me a 10-minute shutdown of operation systems.
Willow Rosenberg : That could be...
Buffy Summers : Tricky, not impossible. If you can't do it on-line, then use magic. Xander, any gear you've been saving for a rainy day I want you to give to me.
Xander Harris : You want stealthy stuff?
Buffy Summers : No, we tried sneaking in. This time I'm gonna use force. I figure I'll go in through the elevator shaft and use the cable as tow lines, then blast open the facility doors and find the infirmary.
Riley Finn : [suddenly in the room] Am I really worth all that?

[Xander is examining an Initiative taser rifle]
Xander : So, here it is. The latest in state-of-the-art combat technology. I gotta say, it doesn't look that complicated.
Buffy : So can you repair it?
Xander : Sure. Just as soon as I get my Master's degree in advanced starship technology.
Willow : Well, why don't we experiment? Press some buttons, see what happens.
Giles : Uh, well, I'd like to veto that.
Xander : Second. It's called a blaster, Wil. A word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the orgasminator, I'd be the first to try your basic button-press approach.

Willow Rosenberg : Any luck?
Buffy Summers : Couldn't find her. Don't know exactly where to place that in the luck continuum.
