BUFFY: You wanna take Tara out of here against her will? You gotta come through me.
DAWN: And me!
Tara smiles. Dawn walks up to stand beside Buffy. They both give Mr. Maclay the same steely glare.
MR. MACLAY: Is this a joke? (steps down one of the stairs) I'm not gonna be threatened by two little girls.
DAWN: You don't wanna mess with us.
BUFFY: She's a hair-puller.
Giles walks up behind them.
GILES: And ... (puts on his glasses) you're not just dealing with, uh, two little girls.
Tara smiles even more.
XANDER: You're dealing with all of us.
SPIKE: 'Cept me.
XANDER: 'Cept Spike.
SPIKE: I don't care what happens.
MR. MACLAY: This is insane. You people have no right to interfere with Tara's affairs. *We* ... are her blood kin! Who the hell are you?
Shot of Giles, Dawn, Buffy, Willow, Tara, Xander, and Anya all standing together in a group, with Spike in the background.
BUFFY: We're family.
