6: Voice
[Distressed by Willow's recent mallynap, Xander is trying to sort out his feelings of helplessness by musing aloud in an agitated voice.]
Sidekicks, right? We're necessary. And we don't just buy the donuts and tell the jokes and duct tape all the broken stuff back together--we matter. Where would Charlie Brown be without Snoopy? Where would the Lone Ranger be without Tonto? Where would Batman be without Robin?
The point is...we're in the middle of it too, and sometimes we get hurt, or--worse stuff. Hug a sidekick today, people.
Shutting up now.

What can we do? Anything? Tell me there's something.
