<b>Quotes:</b>
GILES: We gotta face it, we've changed. We'll not you . . . you're still sadistic and self-centered.
Ethan: (toasting himself) Here's to me.
GILES: The world has past us by. Someone snuck in and left us a couple of has-beens in our place. This Initiative, I mean, their methods may be causing problems, but they're getting the job done. Where am I? I'm an unemployed librarian with a tendency to get knocked on the head.
Ethan: Well, we won't have to worry about that anymore now, mate. (serious tone) When you went to the loo I slipped a small pellet of poison in your drink. You'll be dead in an hour. (pause) Just kidding!
