BUFFY: I think they do connect.
XANDER: What, to this Chumash spirit vengeance guy?
BUFFY: Didn't you say the Chumash got all diseased when they were all holed up in the mission?
WILLOW: Yeah. This has a better account of everything. It lists the various--
XANDER: Various??? As in...?
WILLOW: Well, the important thing is not to panic.
XANDER: You just recited the mystical panic-causing incantation, so little hope there. Let's talk about the various.
WILLOW: Well, they did suffer from malaria, some smallpox--
ANYA: I was gonna say smallpox.
WILLOW: --you know, syphilis, but basically--
XANDER: Syphilis?!
WILLOW: Well, but this is probably mystical, and it'll all go away as soon as--
XANDER: As soon as what?
WILLOW: We still don't know what we're gonna do. Well, maybe I can find something.
GILES: Let's give him some land. I'm sure that'll clear everything right up.
BUFFY: Sarcasm accomplishes nothing, Giles.
GILES: It's sort of an end unto itself.
XANDER: Can we come rocketing back to the part about me and my new syphilis?
ANYA (Stroking his forehead): It'll make you blind and insane, but it won't kill you. The smallpox will.
WILLOW: Maybe there's a Wiccan spell that can cure it. Something regular medicine doesn't know. Ooh, there's a potion. Sage, salt...onion?
BUFFY: That's the stuffing.
XANDER: Oh, God.

Rating Info
- Fiction Rating Key Here
- "NR" = "Not Rated"
- Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glances show they're needed. The "F-bomb" requires FRMA, no matter how it's used. Graphic depictions of human-on-human violence and/or child sexual abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)
