GILES: I'm just a bit twitchy about leaving you alone again here while—while things are in such a state of flux.
BUFFY: I know. But you should go. This trip is important for the girls to understand the source of their power, and to know how to use it right.
GILES: Do you think they appreciate the gravity of what we're undertaking? It's frightening, and it's difficult. And then, apparently, someone told them that the vision quest consists of me driving them to the desert, doing the hokey pokey until a spooky Rasta-mama slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles.
BUFFY: That's not exactly how I put it.
