My first time out, I missed the heart too.
No way.
Just the once.

How do you make cereal?
I put the box next to the milk. I saw it on the food channel.
So, how are you doing?
My sister's about to go to the same school that tried to kill me for three years. I can't change districts, I can't afford private school, and I can't begin to prepare for what may come out of there. So peachy with a side of keen, that would be me.
Stay away from hyena people, or any loser athletes, or if you see anyone who's invisible...
I think it's pretty safe to say I'm not going to see anyone who's invisible.
The coven, they're the most amazing women I've ever met, but there's this look they get, like I'm going to turn them all into bangers and mash. And I'm not even sure what that is.
They're cautious. I'm sure you can understand that.
I don't have that much power, I don't think.
It's all connected. You're connected to a great power, whether you feel it or not.
I wish you'd just take it from me.
You know we can't. This isn't a hobby or an addiction. It's inside you now. You're responsible for it.
Will they always be afraid of me?
Maybe. Can you handle that?
I deserve a lot worse. I killed people, Giles.
I've not forgotten.
When you brought me here, I thought it was to kill me, or to lock me in a mystical dungeon for all eternity, or with the torture. Instead you go all Dumbledore on me. I'm learning about magic, Gaia, energy, and the roots system.
Do you want to be punished?
I want to be Willow.
You are. In the end, we all are who we are, no matter how much we may appear to have changed.
[Convinced he's going mad, Spike is tormented by The First.]
I had a speech... I learned it all... Oh god, she won't understand, she won't understand...
The First [as Warren]: Of course she won't understand, Sparky. I'm beyond her understanding. She's a girl! With sugar, and spice, and everything... useless. Unless you're baking. I'm more than that. More than flesh...
The First [as Glory]: ... more than blood... I'm... you know, I honestly don't think there's a human word fabulous enough for me. Oh, my name will be on everyone's lips. Assuming their lips haven't been torn off. But not just yet. That's all right, though. ...
The First [as Adam]: ... I can be patient. Everything is well within parameters. She's exactly where I want her to be. And so are you, Number 17. You're right where you belong.
The First [as Mayor Wilkins]: So, what'd you think? You'd get your soul back, and everything'd be jim-dandy? A soul's slippier than a greased weasel! Why do you think I sold mine? Well, you probably thought that you'd be your own man, and I respect that. But you...
The First [as Drusilla]: ...never will. You'll always be mine. You'll always be in the dark with me... singing our little song. You like our little songs, don't you? You've always liked them. Right from the beginning. And that's where we're going, ...
The First [as the Master]: ... right back to the beginning! Not the Bang. Not the Word. The true beginning. The next few months are going to be quite a ride, and I think we're all going to learn something about ourselves in the process. You'll learn you're a pathetic schmuck, if it hasn't sunk in already. Look at you, trying to do what's right - just like her. You still don't get it. It's not about right. Not about wrong.
The First [as Buffy]: It's about power.
