I can stay in town as long as you want me.
How's forever? Does forever work for you?
...
I'm worried about tomorrow.
What's tomorrow?
That's exactly what I don't know.
“Forever” · Season 5
In this episode: Buffy Summers (3), Angel (3), Spike (2), Xander Harris (1), Willow Rosenberg (1), Anya Jenkins (1), Dawn Summers (1)
I could jam wooden things into monsters but Mom was the strong one.
[Spike meets Willow and Xander outside Buffy's house. Spike is carrying flowers]
I'm not going in.
And you're not leaving those. You really think you're going to score points with Buffy this way?
This isn't about Buffy.
Bull. We're all hip to your doomed obsession.
They're for Joyce.
Like you cared about her. [Spike moves closer to Xander]
Guys. Not here.
Care? Joyce was the only one of the lot of you I could stand.
And she was the only one with a daughter you wanted to shag. I'm touched.
I liked the lady. Understand, monkey boy? She was decent. She didn't put on airs. And she was the only one who didn't treat me like a freak.
Her mistake.
[scoffs] Think what you want. [He throws the flowers to the ground and stomps off]
Un ... believable. The guy thinks he can put on a big show and con Buffy into being his sex monkey.
[looking at flowers] Xander... He didn't leave a card.
I know why you're doing this. I mean,you're practically stalking my sister
Its not that. I just don't like to see Summers women taking it on the chin. And I mean what I said earlier. You tell her about this, I'll put you in the ground as well.
AAnya
Don't you like television? I thought all children despise effort and enjoy cartoons.
I'm sorry. I couldn't come sooner.
The funeral was... It was brutal. But it's tomorrow that I'm worried about.
What's tomorrow?
That's exactly what I don't know. Up until now, I've had a road map, things to do every minute, having to do with Mom.
Tomorrow, the stuff of everyday living resumes.
And everybody expects me to know how to do it, because I'm so strong.
You just need sometime. I'm sure everybody understands that.
Time's not the issue. I can stick wood in vampires, but Mom was the strong one in real life. She always knew how to make things better, just what to say.
You'll find your way. I mean, not all at once, but...
I don't know. I keep thinking about it, when I found her. If I had just gotten there 10 minutes earlier.
You said they told you it wouldn't have made a difference.
They said probably wouldn't have made a difference. The exact thing they said was "probably." I haven't told that to anyone.
Doesn't make it your fault. Couldn't have done anything different.
I didn't even start C.P.R. until they told me. I fell apart. That's how good I am at being a grown-up.
Buffy.
And it'd be okay if it was just me I had to worry about, but Dawn--
Look, it's okay. You don't feel like it now, but you are strong, Buffy. You're gonna figure this out, and you have people to help you. You don't have to do this alone.
It's gonna be light soon.
I can stay in town as long as you want me.
How's forever? Does forever work for you? That's a bad idea. I'm seriously needy right now.
Let me worry about the neediness. I can handle it.
I told you. You better go.
[exhales] I'm sorry.
No. I'm so grateful that you came, Angel. I didn't think I was gonna be able to make it through the night.
We still have a few more minutes until I have to go.
Good. Good.
