Rupert Giles
- Anya: [as Anyanka] You trusting fool! How do you know the other world is any better than this?
- Rupert Giles: Because it has to be.
- Rupert Giles: [reading] "In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her power center. This should reverse all the wishes she's granted rendering her mortal and powerless again." You see? Without her power center, she-she'd j-just be a-a-an ordinary woman again. And all this would be, um... well, different... Well, I'd say that my... my Watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.
- Buffy Summers: [sarcastic] Great. What's her power center?
- Rupert Giles: [checks the book] Um, well, um, uh... It doesn't say.
- Buffy Summers: Why don't I just put a stake through her heart?
- Rupert Giles: She's not a vampire.
- Buffy Summers: Well, you'd be surprised how many things that'll kill.
- Rupert Giles: I don't want to kill her, Miss Summers. I want to reverse whatever effect she's had on this-this world.
- Buffy Summers: [sighs] You're taking an awful lot on faith here, Jeeves.
- Rupert Giles: Giles.
- Buffy Summers: Kill the bad fairy, destroy the bad fairy's power center, whatever... and all the troubles go away?
- Buffy Summers: World is what it is. We fight. We die. Wishing doesn't change that.
- Rupert Giles: I have to believe in a better world.
- Buffy Summers: Go ahead. I have to live in this one.
