Tara:
Do you like cats?
Willow: I'm more of a dog person myself, but I'm not, like, death
to all cats.
Giles: You know, I really don't
appreciate your snide remarks, Anya. Now I have a great deal of
experience in these matters and if I say there is a matter of some
import brewing
Oz (breaking the silence after interrupting everyone with his
mere presence): Hey.
Willow: W-when did you get back?
Oz: Pretty much now.
Xander: Oz, man. Hate to sound
grandma, but... you don't call. You don't write.
Buffy (about Riley's concern
about Willow dating a werewolf): God, I never knew you were
such a bigot!
Riley: Whoa, hey, how did we get to bigot? I'm just saying it's a
little weird to date someone who tries to eat you once a month.
Willow: It's so light out.
Oz: We talked all night.
Willow: Well, I believe a manly sized breakfast is order, don't
you?
Oz: Or we could just... (he reaches for and holds her hand)
sleep a little while. Whatever you want.
Willow: I'll have the less confusing waffles right now.
Buffy: Those, like, regulation?
You have to do those every morning?
Riley: No, just a good way to start the day.
Buffy: Great, then you can have your perfectly balanced
breakfast, and then you can call your mother.
Riley: OK, I'm up less than a minute and somehow I've managed to
piss you off.
Buffy: I want to hear about you
and Oz, you saw him, right?
Willow: I was with him all night.
Buffy: All night? Oh, my God. Wait, last night was a wolf moon,
right?
Willow: Yup.
Buffy: So, either you're going to tell me something incredibly
kinky, or
Willow: No kink. He didn't change, Buffy. He said he was gonna
find a cure and he did. In Tibet.
Buffy: Oh my God, I can't believe it! OK, I'm all with the
woo-hoo here and you're not.
Willow: No, there's "woo" and "hoo," but
there's "uh-oh" and "why now?" And it's complicated.
Buffy: Why complicated?
Willow: It's complicated... because of Tara.
Buffy: You mean Tara has a crush on Oz? No, you oh. Oh. Um...
Well... That's great. You know, I mean, I think Tara is a really great
girl, Will.
Willow: She is. And... there's something between us. It wasn't
something I was looking for. It's just powerful. And it's totally
different from what Oz and I have.
Buffy: Well, there you go. I mean, you know, you have to follow
your heart, Will. And that's what important, Will.
Willow: Why do you keep saying my name like that?
Buffy: Like what, Will?
Willow: Are you freaked?
Buffy: What? No, Will, don't (regains her composure)
No. No, absolutely no to that question. I'm glad you told me.
Tara: Whatever, you know,
happens. I'll still be here. I'll still be your friend.
Willow: Of course, we'll be friends. That's not even a question.
Tara: But I'm saying, I know what Oz means to you.
Willow: How can you, when I'm not even sure? I mean, I know what
he meant to me. But he left, and... everything changed. I changed,
and then we
Tara: What?
Willow: I don't know. I just life was starting to get so good
again, and... you're a big part of that. And here comes the thing I
wanted most of all, and... I don't know what to do. I want to know, but
I don't.
Tara: Do what makes you happy.
Oz (Sniffs the air and turns):
Willow. (Tara turns around) Hey. I thought I sm uh, heard
Willow.
Tara: Hey. You're um, you're coming back to school here, huh?
Oz: Pretty much. Feeling oddly motivated.
Tara: That's, um, that's great. I mean, that's great for you and
Willow right?
Oz: I hope so.
Tara: Good. That's... because
Oz: Is that her sweater?
Tara: I just, I just hope that you guys'll be very... happy.
Oz: You smell like her. She's all over you, do you know that?
Tara: I can't. I, I can't talk about this.
Oz (grabbing her arm): But there's something to
talk about? Are you two involved?!
Tara: I have, I have to go.
Oz: Because she never said anything like that to me like that. We
talked all night, and she never (Tara tries to leave, but Oz
grabs her by the shoulders.) No, stop!!! Is she in love with you?
Tell me! Is she? (He starts to wolf out.) Run.
Adam: Scout's honor.
Spike: You were a Boy Scout?
Adam: Parts of me.
Giles: How did you get in?
Spike: The door was unlocked. You might want to watch that,
Rupert. Someone dangerous could get in.
Buffy: Or, someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying.
Colonel McNamara: Tomorrow I am
going to institute a court-martial to investigate the extent of your
involvement with the Slayer and her band of freaks. They're anarchists,
Finn. Too backwards for the real world.
Anya (wanting a high five
from Giles): Slap my hand now!
Riley (about his escape):
Buffy. I leave now, I can't ever come back. ... I just wanted to hear
that out loud.
Oz: I shouldn't have come back
now. I just thought I'd changed.
Willow: You have changed. You stopped the wolf from coming out. I
saw it.
Oz: But I couldn't look at you. I mean, It turns out the one
thing that brings it out of me is you. Which falls under the heading of
ironic in my book.
Willow: It was my fault. I upset you.
Oz (sarcastically): So we're safe then, 'cause you'll
never do that again. (not sarcastic anymore But, you're happy? Willow:I
am. I can't explain it
Oz: It may be safer for both of us if you don't.
Willow: I missed you, Oz. I wrote you so many letters... But I
didn't have any place to send them, you know. I couldn't live like that.
Oz: It was stupid to think that you'd just be... waiting.
Willow: I was waiting. I feel like some part of me will always be
waiting for you. Like if I'm old and blue-haired and I turn the corner
in Istanbul, and there you are. I won't be surprised... Because you're
with me, you know?
Oz: I know. But now is not that time I guess.
Willow: No. What are you gonna do?
Oz: I think I better take off.
Willow: When?
Oz: Pretty much now.
Willow: Tara, I have to tell you
Tara: No, I understand. You have to be with the person that love.
Willow: I am.
Tara: You mean...
Willow: I mean. OK?
Tara: Oh, yes.
Willow: I feel horrible about everything I put you through. And
I'm going to make it up to you, starting right now.
Tara: Right now? (She blows out the candle.)
