Giles dala

Song: "Standing In The Way"

GILES:
   You're not ready for the world outside
   You keep pretending, but you just can't hide
[picks up something from weapons case]
   I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
[walks toward Buffy]
   But I...

GILES:
   Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
[throws another knife, which she deflects with one hand]
   And you can meet it, but you never will
[walking back toward the weapons]
   And I'm the reason that you're standing still
[looks at her as she stands waiting]
   But I...
[walks back, throws another knife, Buffy kicks it aside in slow-motion]
   I wish I could say the right words
   To lead you through this land.
[Buffy still kicking in slo-mo]
   Wish I could play the father
   And take you by the hand [reaching out his hand, then pulls it back]
   Wish I could stay here
   But now I understand
[walks closer as Buffy does a handspring and then a split in slo-mo]
   I'm standing in the way.

GILES: The cries around you, you don't hear at all

GILES: 'Cause you know I'm here to take that call

GILES:
   So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
   But I...
I wish I could lay your arms down
   And let you rest at last
   Wish I could slay your demons
   But now that time has passed
   Wish I could stay here
   Your stalwart, standing fast
   But I've been standing in the way.

GILES: I'm just standing ... in the way.

The Way"
