[Buffy, Giles, Willow and Oz are sitting in a lounge area]

Buffy : "So then after the scorpion, the demon opened my mouth and sucked some kind of weird light out of me. A-and the worst part? I wake up and there's Kathy, staring at me like I'm some kind of freak."

Oz : "Well, actually, the worst part, I'd have to go with the demon pouring the blood down your throat."

Willow : "Me too, I would vote for that too."

Buffy : "But that's just tofu, and this Kathy thing is real. All she cared about was that her precious sleep had been disturbed."

[Kathy enters behind Giles]

Giles : "Perhaps it would be more productive to examine your tofu, um, determine their meaning."

Kathy : "You can read tofu? Neat."

Buffy : "Giles, Kathy. Kathy, Giles."

Willow : "He's our grown-up friend. N-not in a creepy way."

Giles : "Nice to meet you, Kathy."

Kathy : "Ditto. Maybe you could read the tofu I had last night? There was, like, this monster, and he sat on me and did all this stuff to me."

Oz: "Stuff, like scorpions? And Bloody Mary minus the Mary?"

Kathy : "That's it! How'd you know?"

Oz : "Well, I'm a good guesser."

Buffy : "Me too, and I'm guessing that you need to be on your way to class. Right, Kath?"

Kathy : "Hmm hmm, sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."

Buffy : "Hmm hmm, and guess what? You were next to it."

Kathy : "You know, I do need to dash. My whole schedule is off because someone kept me up all night. Well, it's been fun. Toodles."

[Kathy turns and leaves]

Buffy : "Toodles."

[Giles clears his throat]

Giles : "You know what this means..."

Buffy : "Yes. Not only does she take my sweater, but now she has to horn in on my tofu. She is the most ever mooch... Oh, I haven't even gotten to the floss."

Giles : "Buffy, focus, please? If Kathy and you are having the same tofu, chances are something happened to you both when you met the demon in the woods."

Willow : "So we need to figure out if this ritual they're dreaming about has some special use, or meaning."

[Buffy gets up and gathers her belongings]

Buffy : "Cool, you guys can do the brain thing. I'm gonna go to class."

Oz : "Which could also be construed as the brain thing."

Buffy : "Not when you're minoring in 'Napping 101.'"

[Buffy leaves]

Willow : "Ok, so that was the evil twin, right? 'Cause she was bordering on Cordelia-esque."

Oz : "Well, she's definitely pushing the stress meter on this Kathy thing."

Giles : "I concur she's not, uh, herself, but, you know, uh, learning to live with someone can be a challenge."

Willow : "A-and she hasn't been sleeping."

Giles : "Right, then."

[Giles stands]

Giles : "Nothing to get to concerned about. Still, let me know if she, um..."

Oz : "Hits the red zone?"

Giles : "Yes."
