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.
S7Beneath You
I doubt we'll even see each other. Assuming I even half understand my fuzzy job description.
It's not fuzzy. You're what, dealing with troubled kids?
At a spanking new Hellmouth High. Please, outside of drugs, violence, and unwanted pregnancy and the unleashing of hordes of Armageddon that comes pouring out of its schools foundation every now and then, what trouble could these kids have?
Sunnydale. Come for the food, stay for the dismemberment.
NNancy
There's good food?
AAnya
I had a quota, the guy had it coming. What's the big?
NNancy
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog.
AAnya
[anguished] Oooh, puppy!
Wait -- that gets your sad noise? People's lives are in danger, and you give it up for the Yorkie?
Ain't we in a sodding engine?
Spike, have you completely lost your mind?
Well, yes. Where have you been all night?
I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak... did you make me weak? Thinking of you. Holding myself and spilling useless buckets of salt over your... ending. Angel, he should've warned me. Makes a good show of forgetting, but it's here. In me. All the time. The spark. I wanted to give you... what you deserve. And I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.
Your soul?
Bit worse for lack of use.
You got your soul back. How?
It's what you wanted, right? It's... it's what you wanted, right? And-and now everybody's in here... talking. Everything I did... everyone I... and HIM. And it. The other. The thing... beneath... beneath you. It's here, too. Everybody. They all just tell me go. Go... to Hell.
Why? Why would you do that?
Buffy, shame on you. Why does a man do what he musn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev... To be a kind of man. And she shall look on him with forgiveness... and everybody will forgive and love. And he will be loved. So everything's okay, right? C-can we rest now? Buffy? Can we rest?
S7Same Time, Same Place
Well, if she's doing that--ducking Giles--then, she's evil, right?
Well, I've avoided Giles tons of times. Just meant I was lazy, not evil.
I hope you're right, because defeating Lazy Willow -- probably less hard.
AAnya
You feel really responsible? You are really responsible!
I know I hurt you... and everyone... and I'm sorry.
AAnya
Here's something you should know about vengeance demons. We don't groove with the sorry. We prefer, "Oh, God! Please stop hitting me with my own rib bones!"
Go on. Say whatever you want, rib bones and so forth. I deserve it.
AAnya
And you won't mind?
No.
Anya [pouts slightly]: Well then, that's no fun.
Red's a bad girl.
He's talking about Willow.
And that means something 'cause he's chock full of sanity.
William's a good boy. Carries her water, carries her sin. Supposed to get easier, isn't it. Supposed to help to help, but it doesn't. Still so heavy.
We should've put a leash on him.
Yes, let's tie ourselves to the crazy vampire.
It's pretty easy. Spike follows the exciting smell of blood and we follow the fairly ripe smell of Spike.
It's smellementary. Also I'm sure there's tunes like this, you know procedures we can use that don't involve magic spells, just good solid detective work. And we can develop a data base of tooth impressions and demon skin samples and I could wear high heels more often.
Wow, that was so close to being empowered.
Everybody loves a slender ankle.
