<b>Quotes:</b>

WILLOW: I can't figure him out. I mean, he's so hot and cold. Or luke-warm and cold.

BUFFY: 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.

WILLOW: It doesn't seem like a fair trade.

--

WILLOW: Hey.

OZ: Hey.

WILLOW: Did you want to go first?

OZ: I spoke to Giles. He said I'll be okay. I just have to lock myself up around the full moon. Only he used more words than that. And a globe.

WILLOW: I'm sorry about how all this ended up. With me shooting you and all.

OZ: It's okay. I'm, I'm sorry I almost ate you.

WILLOW: It's okay. I kind of thought you would have told me.

OZ: I didn't know what to say. I mean, it's not everyday you find out you're a werewolf. That's fairly freaksome. It may take a couple days getting used to.

WILLOW: Yeah. It's a complication.

OZ: So... Maybe it'd be best if I just... sorta...

WILLOW: What?

OZ: Well, you know, like, stayed out of your way for awhile.

WILLOW: I don't know. I'm kind of okay with you being *in* my way.

OZ: You mean, you'd still...

WILLOW: 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.

OZ: You are quite the human.

WILLOW: So, I'd still if you'd still.

OZ: I'd still. I'd *very* still.

WILLOW: Okay. No biting, though.

OZ: Agreed.

(...)

Ethan: What? No hug? Aren't you pleased to see your old mate, Rupert?

GILES: I'm just surprised I didn't guess it was you. This Halloween stunt stinks of Ethan Rayne.

Ethan: Yes, it does, doesn't it? Don't wish to blow my own trumpet, but it's genius. The very embodiment of 'be careful what you wish for'.

GILES: It's sick, brutal, and it harms the innocent.

Ethan: Oh, and we all know that you are the champion of innocents and all things pure and good, Rupert. It's quite a little act you've got going here, old man.

GILES: It's no act. It's who I am.

Ethan: Who you are? The Watcher, sniveling, tweed-clad guardian of the Slayer and her kin? I think not. I know who you are, Rupert, and I know what you're capable of. But they don't, do they? They have no idea where you come from.

<b>Quotes:</b>

BUFFY: Thanks for the bail in there.

BUFFY: I know this is a lot to absorb, but Angel did find the glove, and that was a good...

GILES: (interrupts) Be quiet. I won't remind you that the fate of the world often lies with the Slayer. What would be the point? Nor shall I remind you that you've jeopardized the lives of all that you hold dear by harboring a known murderer. But sadly, I must remind you that Angel tortured me... for hours... for pleasure. You should have told me he was alive. You didn't. You have no respect for me, or the job I perform.

---

Gwendolyn: Mr. Giles, where do you keep the rest of your books?

GILES: I-I'm sorry. The rest?

Gwendolyn: Yes, the actual library. Oh. I see.

GILES: I can assure you, Mrs. Post, this is the finest occult reference collection...

Gwendolyn: (interrupts) ...this side of the Atlantic, I'm sure. Do you have Hume's Paranormal Encyclopedia? The Labyrinth Maps of Malta?

GILES: It's on order.

Gwendolyn: Well, I suppose that you have Sir Robert Kane's Twilight Compendium?

GILES: Oh! Uh... Yes, I... Yes! (pulls it out) Yes, I do.

Gwendolyn: (unimpressed) Of course you do.

OZ: Suddenly painless.

WILLOW: You can still play the guitar okay?

OZ: Oh, not well, but not worse.

WILLOW: Y'know, I never really thanked you.

OZ: Ooo, yeah, please don't. I don't do thanks. I get all red. Have to bail. It's not pretty.

WILLOW: Well, then forget that thing. E-especially with the part where I kind of owe you my life.

OZ: Oh, look! Monkey! And he has a little hat. And little pants.

WILLOW: Yeah, I-I see!

OZ: The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that? You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So, I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like, is the hippo going, 'Hey, man, where are *my* pants? I have my hippo dignity!' And you know the monkey's just, (with a French accent) 'I mock you with my monkey pants!' And there's a big coup in the zoo.

WILLOW: The monkey is French?

OZ: All monkeys are French. You didn't know that?

WILLOW: No. (giggles)

SPIKE: I may be dirt ... but you're the one who likes to roll in it, Slayer. You never had it so good as me. Never.
