Buffy:  So Maggie sends me down into the sewers with one of those Blasto - guns . And the next thing I know , it 's raining monsters .
Xander Harris: Hallelujah .
Buffy: And then this gate slams down behind me and I , I try to use the gun but it goes pfft .
Rupert Giles: You 're saying that Maggie Walsh set you up ?
Buffy: That 's exactly what I 'm saying . She sent me on a one - way recon .
Spike: Got to hand it to you , Goldilocks - you do have bleeding tragic taste in men . I 've got a cousin married to a regurgitating Frovalox demon that 's got better instincts than you .
Buffy: What does my taste in men have to do with this ?
Spike: You think Riley was out knitting booties for your future offspring while Maggie stringing you up ?
Buffy: You guys think Riley had something to do with this ?
Rupert Giles: Probably not . But we 'd be remiss if we did n't think through all the possibilities .
Buffy: Right . Remiss . No ! No , Maggie made sure that he was nowhere around when she sent me on this very special make - Buffy - dead assignment .
Willow Rosenberg: Plus , Riley - he seems like he would n't tell a little white lie , let alone a whole bunch of big dirty ones .
Xander Harris: That 's why they call it the secret forces , Will , 'cause they kinda keep the whole lying thing to themselves .
Buffy: All I know is that Maggie has it in for me , which means the Initiative has it in for me .
Xander Harris: I 'm guessing the mad scientist is n't too keen on the fact that the entire Scooby Gang knows that the Initiative is up to no good .
Buffy: Which brings us back to the not - safe - for - any - of - us concept .
Rupert Giles: What could have happened to make Professor Walsh want to kill you ?
Buffy: I do n't know . She was n't keen on the fact that I was asking a lot of questions , that 's for sure .
Anya: So you were getting too close to something .
Rupert Giles: Clearly . Although _ one _ can only imagine what she 'd be so desperate to hide .
