Five Things Wesley and Giles Did in a Convertible Lotus Elise (With The Top Down) But Probably Shouldn't Have
( picture behind the cut )
5. Transported every surviving document bearing a reference to Cruciamentum procedures across Cornwall in October.
G: That really was reckless of us.
W: But it was such a sunny day. Who could have expected the wind to be so strong?
G: In any case, I should have taped the record carton shut.
W: Or not taken that curve so fast?
G: ...or not taken that curve so fast.
W: In any case, those records are now lost.
G: Every one.
W:Irrecoverably.
G: Damn it.
4. Picked up Dawn at the airport in Crete one sunny afternoon.
W: What? She adores the Lotus.
G: Well. Not the fact of using it to retrieve her as what we were... well. She was a bit shocked, is all. It would have been better to give her an opportunity to adjust gradually.
W: Buffy'd told her about us. She's an adult, Rupert. Though really, it was rather a miracle we didn't come in for more harassing than we did on that trip. The islands are beautiful but they can be so bloody homophobic.
G: So... snogging in front of Dawn is fine, but snogging in front of anonymous holidaymakers who've never seen us before and never will again is the problem?
W: Well, the latter is more likely to get us pelted with olives or harder objects.
G: I think I'd rather have a fistfight than face a revolted Dawn.
W: Rupert. She wasn't revolted. Just startled.
G: As I said. Probably shouldn't have.
(Wesley pats his arm indulgently)
3. Driven past Wolfram & Hart's London office, whilst wearing sunglasses and laughing.
G: It's dangerous. We have enough evil without provoking it.
W: I do like to think of them scrambling, though.
G: As do I.
2. Brought Roger Wyndam Pryce up to Yorkshire for a Council meeting.
W: Oh, God. I thought you were going to bend the steering column.
G: I thought I was going to break my teeth. Was there a single pebble on a roadside that he didn't caution me to avoid? And how many times did he ask how fast we were going?
W: I stopped counting after fifteen. (pause) I'm sorry. I thought it might earn us some credit with him.
G: As did I. Well, not driving him would certainly have lost us some, so it was a reasonable decision. (pause) Never again.
W: God, no.
1. Provoked a late-night drag race with fellow Watchers while returning from said Council meeting (fortunately without RWP)
W: Don't even try to tell me you regret that.
G: I never said I regretted doing it, simply that we shouldn't have. And we shouldn't. It was juvenile, and imprudent and... do you remember Elliot's face when we pulled ahead? I knew his piece of American rubbish wouldn't keep up.
W: I think I had my eyes closed at that particular moment. But I did see your face when we crested that hill outside the village.
G: (cleans his glasses)
W: But it really wasn't sporting to lift the protective glamour on his car. And just as he passed the camera, too.
G: I didn't... Wesley?
W: Very bad form, that. Even though he had it restored before he got any points. Well. Many points.
