- Buffy Summers: Oh, Tara, hey... Amy?
- Amy Madison: The whole school? By a giant snake thing? Okay, still adjusting. Hi Buffy.
- Buffy Summers: Hi. How've ya been?
- Amy Madison: Rat. You?
- Buffy Summers: Dead.
- Amy Madison: Oh.
- Spike: [chuckles] Oh, poor little lost girl... She doesn't fit in anywhere. She's got no one to love.
- Buffy Summers: Me? I'm lost? Look at you, you idiot. Poor Spikey. Can't be a human, can't be a vampire. Where the hell do you fit in? Your job is to kill the Slayer, but all you can do is follow me around making moon eyes.
- Spike: I'm in love with you.
- Buffy Summers: You're in love with pain. Admit it. You like me because you enjoy getting beat down. So really, who's screwed up?
- Spike: Hello. Vampire. I'm supposed to be treading on the dark side. What's your excuse?
- Amy Madison: I mean, it's like... I felt like I was in that cage for *weeks*... But it can still be okay. Right? I-I- I can still get into the swing of things, like... prom's coming up. I-I-I was so hoping Larry would ask me. We would make such a splash at...
- [stops at Willow's look]
- Amy Madison: Oh. Oh, God.
- [sighs]
- Amy Madison: He hasn't asked someone else, has he?
- Willow Rosenberg: Uh, Amy... three things we have to talk about. One, Larry's gay. Two, Larry's dead. And three, high school's kinda over.
- Amy Madison: How long was I in the cage?
- Spike: You're a tease, you know that, Slayer? Get a fella's motor revin', let the tension marinate a couple of days, then *bam*, crown yourself the ice queen.
- Buffy Summers: You need a few more metaphors for that little mix?
- Buffy: [answers phone] Hello, Magic Box.
- Spike: [deep voice] Slayer.
- Buffy: Spike?
- Spike: [deep voice] Meet me at the cemetery. Twenty minutes. Come alone.
- Buffy: Spike?
- Spike: [mutters under breath] Bloody hell.
- [normal voice]
- Spike: Yes, it's me.
- Buffy: You're calling me on the phone?
- Spike: Just be there.
- Buffy: Why? Are you helping again?
- [loud enough for Xander and Anya to hear]
- Buffy: You have a lead on this frost monster thingy?
- Spike: Something like that, yeah. Thought you might be up for a little grunt work.
- Buffy: What?
- [whispering]
- Buffy: No, no grunting.
- Spike: [pause] I was talking shop, love, but if you've got other ideas. You. Me. Cozy little tomb with a view.
- [Buffy hangs up quickly]
- Spike: Yeah. You'd think if the government was gonna put a chip in my head, they'd at least make it so that I could attack criminals and that sort.
- Buffy Summers: Yes, because muggers deserve to be eaten. You just have to get your rocks off fightin' demons.
- Spike: There are other ways.
- Buffy Summers: And to that, an extreme "See you later."
- [Jonathan and Andrew sit with Spike while Warren is working]
- Andrew Wells: You're English, right?
- Spike: Yeah?
- Andrew Wells: I've seen every episode of Doctor Who... Not Red Dwarf, though, cause, um...
- Jonathan Levinson: 'Cause it's not out yet on DVD.
- Andrew Wells: Right. It's not out yet on... DVD.
- Spike: [shouts] *Warren*!
- Spike: Oh, so you wanna jump right to the kissing, then, eh?
- Buffy Summers: I am not kissing you, Spike. Once was...
- Spike: Twice.
- Willow Rosenberg: [to Amy the rat] What's the matter, Amy? You lonely? Oh, we need to get you a nice companion rat that you can love, play with, and grow attached to, until one day they leave you for no good reason. Won't that be fun?
- [last lines]
- Spike: I wasn't planning on hurting you... much.
- Buffy Summers: You haven't even come close to hurting me.
- Spike: Afraid to give me the chance...? You afraid I'm gonna...
- [Buffy kisses Spike]
- Spike: In my head. The chip in my head.
- Warren Meers: We're kind of in the middle of somethin'.
- Spike: Well, you can play holodeck another time. Right now, I'm in charge.
- Warren Meers: Yeah, what are you gonna do if we don't especially feel like maybe playing your- What are- Wait. What are you doing?
- [Spike takes Boba Fett action figure off its base]
- Spike: Examine my chip or else Mr. Fett here is the first to die.
- Jonathan Levinson: Hey! All-All right. Let's not- Let's not not do anything crazy here.
- Andrew Wells: That's a limited edition, 1979 mint condition Boba Fett.
- Warren Meers: All right, dude, chill. You can still make it right. You know you don't wanna do this.
- Spike: What I want is answers, nimrod.
- Warren Meers: Right. But you don't want to hurt the Fett, because, man, you're *not* comin' back from that! You know, you don't just *do* that and walk away.
- Spike: That right? Let's find out.
- [about to rip head off of action figure]
- Warren Meers: *One* sec- One second.
- [first lines]
- [a couple in an alley threatened by a gang]
- Man: I'm sure we can work something out.
- Woman: A deal of some sort. Anything you want.
- Buffy Summers: [off-screen] I always wanted a pony. Oh.
- [they turn to look at her]
- Buffy Summers: You weren't really speaking to me, were you? My bad. Well, as long as I'm here...
- Amy Madison: It's crazy, all the things that have happened since I went away.
- Buffy Summers: No kidding.
- Amy Madison: Snyder got eaten by a snake, the high school got destroyed.
- Buffy Summers: Oh, Gatorade has a new flavor. Blue.
- Amy Madison: See? Head spinning.
- [Spike attacks a group that Buffy is fighting]
- Buffy Summers: What the hell are you doing?
- Spike: I thought they were demons.
- Buffy Summers: Way to go with the keen observy-ness, Jessica Fletcher.
- [Amy recently changed back from a rat]
- Amy Madison: Do you have any cookies?
- Buffy Summers: Uh, yeah. Wh-What kind?
- Buffy Summers: Any kind. Not cheese.
- Anya: It's such a pain. The text I wanted, Giles took it with him. He has this thing that owning a book makes it, like, his property.
- Willow Rosenberg: So, uh, the burger was good? You liked it?
- Dawn Summers: Are you kidding? It was like a meat party in my mouth. Okay. Now I'm just a kid and even *I* know that came out wrong.
- Willow Rosenberg: Huh.
- Dawn Summers: It was good.
- [Buffy runs into Spike on the street]
- Buffy Summers: Great.
- Spike: Well, well, well, look who decided to show up.
- Buffy Summers: What are you doing here, Spike?
- Spike: Well, you know a man was frozen alive in there. A little compassion, love. Uh, you know, as long as we're both here, you might as well tag along. I mean, as a team we could...
- Buffy Summers: Yeah, that never really ends well, does it?
- Spike: It did the other night.
- Buffy Summers: You really seem awfully fixated on a couple of kisses, Spike.
- Spike: And you seem awfully quick to forget about 'em.
- Buffy Summers: Look. I'm sorry, okay? I'm-I'm sorry if you thought that it meant more.
- Spike: But?
- Buffy Summers: But when I kissed you, you know I was thinking about Giles, right?
- Spike: You know, I always wondered about you two.
- Buffy Summers: What? Oh, gross, Spike! He left. I was depressed ergo, vulnerability and bad kissing decisions. Okay, but that's all that it was. You have to let it go.
