"Let's... uh... get back to work, shall we?"

"Giles!" Willow laughed. "You can't say something like that and expect us to forget!"

"Yeah, G-man. Spill the details!" Xander added.

Giles took off his glasses to clean them. "But... there's research to be done... vampires to stake..."

Buffy stared at him. "Last I checked, staking was my job."

"Well, yes..."

"Giles... who's this mysterious woman?"

"You don't want to know."

Willow giggled. "Why? I mean, it's not like you're going on a date with Buffy's mom."

When Giles didn't say anything, Buffy cleared her throat and everyone went back to work.
