Are you okay?
Yeah. Hey, did everybody see that guy just turn to dust?
Ohhh, well ... sort of.
Yep. Vampires are real, a lot of 'em live in Sunnydale, Willow will fill you in.
I know it's hard to accept at first.
Actually, it explains a lot.

Are you okay?
Yeah. Hey, did everybody see that guy just turn to dust?
Ohhh, well ... sort of.
Yep. Vampires are real, a lot of 'em live in Sunnydale, Willow will fill you in.
I know it's hard to accept at first.
Actually, it explains a lot.
[The Judge has captured both Buffy and Angel.]
Leave her alone!
That'll work. Now say pretty please.
Take me instead.
Apparently, you're not familiar with the concept. There is no instead, only firsts and seconds.
And if you go first, you don't get to watch the Slayer die.
Hurts, doesn't it?
Well, you know, it kinda itches a little.
Don't just stand there. Burn him.
Gee, maybe he's broken.
What the hell is going on?
This one ... cannot be burnt. He is clean.
Clean? You mean, he's ...
There's no humanity in him.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Angelus.
Yeah, baby. I'm back.
...
No more of this 'I've got a soul' crap?
What can I say, hmm? I was going through a phase.
...
You've really got a yen to hurt this girl, haven't you?
She made me feel like a human being. That's not the kind of thing you just forgive.
I knew it! I knew it! Well, not knew it in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know. You two were fighting way too much. It's not natural!
I know it's weird ...
Weird? It's against all laws of God and Man! It's Cordelia! Remember? The, the 'We Hate Cordelia Club', of which you are the treasurer.
Look, I was gonna tell you.
Gee, what stopped you? Could it be shame?
All right, let's over-react, shall we?
But I'm ...
Willow. We were just kissing. It doesn't mean that much.
No. ... It just means you'd rather be with someone you hate, than be with me.
[about last night, when they had sex] What? I took off.
But you didn't say anything. You just left.
Yeah. Like I really wanted to stick around after that.
What?
You got a lot to learn about men, kiddo. Although I guess you proved that last night.
What are you saying?
Let's not make an issue out of it, okay? In fact, let's not talk about it at all. It happened.
I, I don't understand. Was it m-me? Was I not good?
You were great. Really. I thought you were a pro.
Now, I know you haven't been in the game for a while, mate, but we still do kill people. Sort of our raison d'être, you know.
...
Spike, my boy, you really don't get it, do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn't. Look at you. You're a wreck! She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl ... you have to love her.
It's not over. I suppose you know that. He'll come after you, particularly. His profile ... he's likely to strike out at the things that made him the most human.
You must be so disappointed in me.
No. No no, I'm not.
This is all my fault.
I don't believe it is. Do you want me to wag my finger at you and tell you that you acted rashly? You did. And I can. I know that you loved him. And, he ... he's proven more than once that he loved you. You couldn't have known what would happen. The coming months are, are going to be hard, I suspect on all of us. But if it's guilt you're looking for, Buffy, I'm not your man. All you will get from me is my support. And my respect.
We have a lot of fun, but I want smoochies!
Have you dropped any hints?
I've dropped anvils.
Well, he'll come around. What guy could resist your wily Willow charms?
At last count? All of them, maybe more.
Well, none of them know a thing! They all get an "F" in Willow.
But I want Oz to get an "A," and, oh, one of those gold stars!
But I would do a lot better if you and Xander and I could do that "sharing our misery" thing tonight.
Great. I'll give Xander a call. What's his number? Oh, yeah 1-800-I'm-Dating-A-Skanky-Ho.
Meow!
Thanks, I haven't gotten a "Meow" before.
Quite. And it, uh, acts on-on pure instinct. No conscience, uh, uh, predatory and-and aggressive.
In other words, your typical male.
On behalf of my gender, hey!
Yes, let's not jump to any conclusions.
I didn't jump. I took a tiny step, and there conclusions were.
[to Willow] Welcome to the mystery that is men. I think it goes something like, they grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want.
You mean... you'd still...
Well, I like you. You're nice, and you're funny, and you don't smoke. Yeah, okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around either.
You are quite the human.
So I'd still, if you'd still.
I'd still. I'd very still!
Okay. No biting, though.
Agreed.
[Willow walks off, then runs back and gives Oz a quick but thorough kiss. She leaves again.]
Huh. A werewolf in love.
I wish dating was like slaying. You know, simple, direct, stake to the heart, no muss, no fuss.
Sorry to say, Xand, slaying is a tad more perilous than dating.
Well, you're obviously not dating Cordelia.
Dear Buffy. I'm still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.
Why don't you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression.
Lacks... poetry.
It doesn't have to. What rhymes with lungs?
Don't worry, Spike. Angel always knows...what speaks to a girl's heart.
Don't be so jumpy... I've been in your bed before.
Yeah, but Will, we were both in footy pajamas.
