"What? Where am I?" the man with the large gun stammered. He pointed the gun menacingly at Xander, presumably identifying him as the most likely threat.

Figures.

"How's about you put that down and try explaining how you got through our perimeter?" Buffy countered.

"And just what do you think you're going to do about it, bao bay?" he sneered.

"First? Not your baby. Second? Not me," she replied as the gun flew out of his hands and into Willow's.

"Ai ya! Give that back, gorramit!" he shouted, lunging towards Willow but finding himself stuck in air suddenly thick as tar.

Buffy took a step closer. "Now I'm the one you need to worry about. So start talking. Because you're not going anywhere until you explain exactly how Twilight got you in here."

The man looked at her in horror. "Nee ta ma duh. Tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si."

Turning to Xander, Buffy said, "Uh, I think maybe we're going to need Chao-Ahn for this one."

Translations:
Ai ya – damn
Bao bay – sweetheart
Nee ta ma duh. Tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si. – Fuck everyone in the universe to death. No, I don't know why it takes two sentences to say that.

So is that last bit of swearing something from the show or something you made up? Their Chinese cussing tended to be really bizarre and creative like that.

Oh, definitely from the show. Mal said it in the first part of Serenity (the pilot, not the movie). They have lots of Chinese phrases from the show here (http://nightmare.org/?page_id=173), which is where I found that.

Finally Chao-Ahn comes into her own!! This was super cute.
