Quotes 

• Oz : It's not everyday you find out that you're a werewolf. That's fairly freaksome. It may take a couple of days of getting used to.

  Willow Rosenberg : Yeah. It's a complication.

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

  Willow Rosenberg : What?

  Oz : Well, you know, like... stayed out of your way for a while.

  Willow Rosenberg : I don't know. I'm kind of okay with you being *in* my life.

  Oz : You mean... you'd still...?

  Willow Rosenberg : Well... I like you. You're nice and you're funny. And you don't smoke. Yeah, okay, werewolf, 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 a human.

  Willow Rosenberg : So... I'd still... if you'd still.

  Oz : I'd still. I'd very still.

  Willow Rosenberg : Okay... No biting, though.

• Willow Rosenberg : Great. I'll give Xander a call. What's his number? Oh, yeah. 1-800-I'm-Dating-A-Skanky-Ho.

  Buffy Summers : Meow.

  Willow Rosenberg : Really? Thanks. I've never gotten a "meow" before.

• Buffy Summers : So, what's the scuttlebutt? Anybody besides Larry fit our werewolf profile?

  Willow Rosenberg : There is one name that keeps getting spit out. Aggressive behavior, run-ins with authorities... About a screenful of violent incidents.

  Buffy Summers : Okay, most of those were not *my* fault.

• [first lines] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Hi.

  Oz : Oh, that's what I was gonna say.

  Willow Rosenberg : What'cha looking at?

  Oz : This cheerleading trophy. It's like its eyes follow you wherever you go... I like it.

• Rupert Giles : For now, but my guess is that this werewolf will be back at next month's full moon.

  Willow Rosenberg : What about tonight's full moon?

  Rupert Giles : Pardon?

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, last night was the night before the full moon. Traditionally known as... the night before the full moon.

• Willow Rosenberg : I'm sorry how all this ended up, with me shooting you and all.

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

  Willow Rosenberg : It's okay.

• Rupert Giles : Seems there were a number of other attacks by "wild dog" around town. Several animal carcasses were found mutilated.

  Willow Rosenberg : You mean like bunnies and stuff? No, don't tell me.

  Oz : Oh, don't worry. I mean, they might not look it, but bunnies can really take care of themselves.

  Willow Rosenberg : [taking heart]  Yeah.

  Oz : Yeah.

• Willow Rosenberg : [about Oz]  Maybe it's nice. He's great. We have a lot of fun, but I want *smoochies*!

  Buffy Summers : Have you dropped any hints?

  Willow Rosenberg : I've dropped anvils.

• Rupert Giles : You see, the werewolf, uh, is such a-a potent, e-e-extreme representation of our inborn animalistic traits, that it emerges for three full consecutive nights... the full moon, and, uh, the two nights surrounding it.

  Willow Rosenberg : Quite the party animal.

  Rupert Giles : Quite, and it, uh, acts on-on pure instinct. No conscience. Predatory and-and aggressive.

• [someone knocks on his door and Oz opens it] 

  Oz : Willow, what are you doing?

  Willow Rosenberg : [enters]  I had this whole thing worked out. And I had it written down, uh, but then it didn't make any sense when I was reading it back.

  Oz : Willow, this is not a very good time.

  Willow Rosenberg : I mean, what am I supposed to think? First, you buy me popcorn and then you're all glad that I didn't get bit. And... you put the tag back in my shirt. But I guess none of that means anything, because instead of looking up names with me, here you are all alone in your house doing nothing by yourself.

  Oz : Willow, we'll talk about this tomorrow. I promise.

  [Oz tries to lead her out] 

  Willow Rosenberg : No, damn it! We'll talk about this now! Buffy told me that sometimes what a girl makes has to be the first move and now that I'm saying this, I'm starting to think that the written version sounded pretty good. But you know what I mean.

  Oz : I know, I know. It's me. I'm, I'm goin' through some... changes.

  Willow Rosenberg : Well, welcome to the world! Things happen. Don't you think I'm going through a lot?

  Oz : Not like me.

  Willow Rosenberg : Oh, what? So now you're special? You're Special Boy...

  [sees the chains] 

  Willow Rosenberg : With... chains and stuff? Why do you have chains and stuff?

  [Oz feels the change starting] 

  Oz : Willow, please! Get outta here!

  [Oz falls behind a couch and starts changing] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Oz?... Oz, what is it?

  [Oz's fingers start to grow] 

  Willow Rosenberg : What's wrong?

  [Oz jumps up as a werewolf and Willow screams]
