  Rupert Giles : [loudly]  Have you seen the new library? Th-Th-Th-Th-There's nothing but computers. There's not a book to be seen. I-I don't know where to begin, Buffy.

• Spike : Oh, you have got to be joking! What now?

  Rupert Giles : t shall access the cerebral cortex via the optic nerve.

  Spike : Oh, bollocks! All the rubbish people keep stickin' in my head, it's a wonder there's any room for my brain.

  Rupert Giles : I don't think it takes up that much space, do you?

• Principal Robin Wood : Wait, sorry. Chip?

  Rupert Giles : Uh, it's a long story.

  Buffy Summers : The military put a chip in Spike's head, so he couldn't hurt anyone.

  Rupert Giles : And that would be the abridged version.

  [sighs] 

  Rupert Giles : I-I understand your anger. Please believe me, we d- we did what we...

• Spike : Right. Let's get this over with. What are you gonna do? Some hypno-beam, a disarming spell?

  Rupert Giles : Not exactly. The First has brainwashed you. There's something in you subconscious that it's using to provoke a violent reaction. So... we have to put this in your brain.

  Spike : Bugger that!

• Dawn Summers : "Hopefully"? So, it might not work?

  Rupert Giles : W-Well, the stone's just a catalyst for the process. The rest is up to Spike.

  Spike : And how do you expect to get that hunk of rubble into my cranium?
