Something tells me that my world’s not actually been destroyed. Because my world? It’s pretty destructo-proof. We’ve proven that. A couple times, actually. We’re like cockroaches, cut off our heads and we come right back. And some letter saying that you saved me from the big bad--

[ a beat ] Hold on. Who are you supposed to be, anyway? You and your little letter with your little words. Because if you’re not Buffy then i’ve gotta wonder if you’re trying to be her and i’m not sure she’s ever been too big on imitation or flattery being the highest art of anything.

And anyway, if my world had been destroyed, you would’ve saved Buffy, not me. Probably Will, too. I’m not usually the guy that gets picked for these sort of things -- it’s like how I always picked last for dodgeball and put on the bench. I’d probably get picked last for who gets to live in the brand new world order, too.

So, uh, you maybe wanna tell me what’s actually going on? ‘Cause the fake letter really isn’t gonna cut it.

Hey, look at me. [ Have a wave before he points at himself. Yes, look at him. Your savior. ]

You'll be alright. You'll be better than alright, okay? We'll get through this, even with our creepy as hell collars on, injecting who knows what into our veins.

[She duly looks at him when instructed, and smiles sheepishly.]

The collars are pretty creepy, huh. But... thanks. Somehow I can believe it when you say it. How did you get to be so smart, Xander? Cause I'm sure Ms. Feldon would be shocked to see that you turned out to be Mr. Wise and Responsible.

[toomanly]

[ Oh yes, that's a lovely smile. ]

I think Ms. Feldon would be shocked that i'm still alive and didn't manage to win my very own Darwin Award.

[ ... A short giggle, and now she looks a lot more normal.]

Yeah, I bet you're more accurate with that one. But hey, look at you, all here and not dead and not stupid. It's impressive.
