He turned to another favourite naval song:
There happened of late a terrible fray,
Begun upon our St James’s day,
With a thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,

Buffy: Vampires are creeps.
Giles: Yes, that’s why one slays them.
Buffy: I mean, people are perfectly happy getting along, and then vampires come, and they run around and they kill people, and they take over your whole house, they start making these stupid little mini pizzas, and everyone’s like, ‘I like your mini pizzas,’ but I’m telling you, I am…
