You know, this place is okay for a hole in the ground. You fixed it up.
Well, I ate a decorator once. Maybe something stuck.
I've been thinking about doing something in my room. I think the New Kids on the Block posters are starting to date me.
S6Dead Things
Do you even like me?
[softly] Sometimes.
But you like what I do to you.
[Spike holds up a pair of handcuffs.]
Do you trust me?
Never.
So how did you get so beautiful?
KKatrina
Okay, does that line usually work?
[Katrina realizes it is her ex-boyfriend Warren]
KKatrina
What the hell are you doing here?
It's nice seeing you again too, Katrina.
KKatrina
Yeah, it's the "seeing you" part that's throwing me here, Warren, because I thought I was pretty clear with the "never wanting that to happen again."
That was a long time, baby.
KKatrina
Apparently not long enough.
Oh, you're not still sore about that thing, are you?
KKatrina
What thing would that be, exactly? The "wind-up-slut" you tinkered together? Or when Miss "Nuts-'n-Bolts" tried to choke me to death?
Okay, so, I've made a few mistakes...
KKatrina
No, no, I did - for ever lowering myself to be with a jerk like you.
[Katrina gets up but Warren grabs her]
No, don't say that.
KKatrina
Well, what did you expect? Just... waltz there and sweep me off my feet with your cheesy lines and fancy suit?
No! I-I just... thought we could talk... maybe work things out.
KKatrina
There is nothing to work out. What you did was sick, and just looking at you makes me want to vomit!
Are you sure about that?
[Warren puts his red sunglasses on, and goes for his pocket]
KKatrina
Yes, God yes I'm sure...!
[Warren flashes the mind-controlling device in front of her; Katrina stares at it, and then at Warren, blankly]
KKatrina
I love you, Master.
I just, I wanted us to be together!
KKatrina
There is no us, Warren! Get that through your big meaty head! I am not your girlfriend anymore!
She's your ex?
Dude, that is messed up.
KKatrina
Oh, you think? You bunch of little boys, playing at being men. Well, this is not some fantasy, it's not a game, you freaks! It's rape!
These things just made you think you killed her.
She was probably dead long before you stumbled across her.
It wasn't the demons. It was Warren. He knew Katrina. He had something to do with it, I know it.
How can you be sure?
You always hurt the one you love.
[She is beating Spike up.] I am not your girl! You don't...have a soul! There is nothing good or clean in you. You are dead inside! You can't feel anything real! I could never be your girl!
AAnya
Is this what you saw?
Yeah, that's it.
AAnya
The Rwasundi. Very rare. It's presence in our dimension causes a sort of... localized temporal disturbance.
So, that's why time went all David Lynch?
AAnya
Right. Human perception is based on a linear chronology. Being exposed to the Rwasundi for more than a few seconds, can cause vivid hallucinations and a slight tingly scalp.
So, that's it. These things just made you think you killed her.
She was probably dead long before you stumbled across her.
It wasn't the demon. It was Warren. He knew Katrina. He had something to do with it, I know it.
How can you be sure?
You always hurt the one you love.
Does this mean you're not going away?
Yeah. I'm not going anywhere. We need to find Warren and the others. Whatever they've done, they're not gonna get away with it.
Are you sure?
I've double-checked everything. There's nothing wrong with you.
Then why can Spike hurt me?
Well, I-I said that there was nothing wrong with you, but you are different. Shifting you out of, fr-from where you were, funneling your essence back into your body, it altered you on a basic, molecular level, probably just enough to confuse the sensors or whatever in Spike's chip, but it's all just surfacey, physical stuff. It would have anymore effect than a bad sunburn.
I didn't come back wrong?
No, you're the same Buffy, with a deep, tropical cellular tan.
You must've missed something. Will you check again?
Buffy, I-I promise. There's nothing wrong with you.
There has to be. This just can't be me. It isn't me. [starting to cry] Why do I feel like this? Why do I let Spike do those things to me?
You mean hit you?
[Buffy meets Tara's eyes, but only for a moment, then looks away. Tara frowns as the realization dawns on her]
[awkwardly] Oh. Oh, huh... really.
He's everything I hate. He's everything that, I'm supposed to be against, but the only time that I ever feel anything is when... Don't tell anyone, please.
I won't.
[crying] Oh, the way they would look at me... I just couldn't...
I won't tell anyone. I wouldn't do that.
Why can't I stop? Why do I keep letting him in?
Do you love him? I-It's okay if you do. He's done a lot of good, and, and he does love you. A-and, Buffy, it's okay if you don't. You're going through a really hard time, and you're...
What? Using him? What's okay about that?
It's not that simple.
It is. It's wrong. I'm wrong. Tell me that I'm wrong, please. [starts sobbing] Please don't forgive me. Please! God, please don't. [sobbing] Please don't forgive me! Please don't!
[She slides off the table onto the floor, kneeling, putting her head in Tara's lap. Tara looks uncertain but puts her hands comfortingly on Buffy's head]
S6Older and Far Away
[Spike's attempt to get intimate with Buffy is interrupted by Tara's arrival.]
I had a... muscle cramp. Buffy was, uh, helping.
A muscle cramp? In your... pants?
What? It's a thing.
So Spike! How's that muscle cramp?
What? Oh... uh... yeah. Better.
[smirking] Maybe you, uh, wanna put some ice on it.
What, poor dainty Richard can't take a joke?
We do not joke about eating people in this house!
RRichard
Ah, you have some weird friends.
News from the file marked "Duh".
AAnya
It's dangerous, and so is all of us dying.
Will, look I don't wanna gang up on you, but Anya kinda has a point. We brought you back from it once, we're all here. It's one little spell. Whatever happens we can bring you back again.
No, I can't. If I start I.. I might not be able to stop.
AAnya
And whose fault is that?? You know if you hadn't gotten so much of this in your system in the first place--
Hey! You're gonna back off. She said no and that's it. You're not gonna make her do something that she doesn't want to. And if you try, you have to go through me first. Understood?
Dawn?
What?
Did you do something?
Me?
Do you know something? 'Cause we want you to feel like you can tell us.
What would I know?
Look, we're not accusing you of anything. It's just, you were kind of taking it personal down there.
Oh, okay. So you've all just decided that somehow I'm responsible. Great. Here's me basking in the love.
No, it's just, you know, you're upset 'cause we all want to leave. But now we can't leave. Only thing missing is a cornfield. There-- There isn't a cornfield, is there?
Dawn, it's okay. You know, we're not gonna be mad.
Yeah, only I didn't do anything.
You sure?
You want me to ask my other self?
Dawn, we're just trying to figure out what's going on.
Figure it out yourself. I'm done being talked to like a kid.
Well, 'cause you know, sometimes we do something that seems like a good idea at the same time, like, say, invoke the power of a musical amulet. And it turns out, you know, not so much.
God! I didn't do anything! I wish I had. I'm glad you're trapped. How else can I get anybody to spend any time with me?
Dawn, if you want us to spend time with you--
I don't. Get out. Get out! Get out! Get out!
S6As You Were
You know, when I was little I used to spend hours imagining what my wedding to Xander would be like. And now I look at them and just think... he-he-he!
