- [Willow has chosen Tara]
- Oz: It was stupid to think that you'd just be... waiting.
- Willow Rosenberg: 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.
- [last lines]
- Willow Rosenberg: [enters Tara's darkened room with a lit big yellow candle] No candles? Well, I brought one. It's extra flamey.
- [Willow steps in, passes the candle to Tara, and closes the door]
- Willow Rosenberg: Tara, I have to tell you...
- Tara Maclay: No, I-I understand. You have to be with the person you l-love.
- Willow Rosenberg: [smiles] I am.
- Tara Maclay: You mean...?
- Willow Rosenberg: I mean. Okay?
- Tara Maclay: Oh, yes.
- Willow Rosenberg: I feel horrible about everything I put you through. and-and I'm gonna make it up to you... starting right now.
- Tara Maclay: Right now?
- [Willow smiles and nods. Tara blows out the candle]
- Oz: 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 Rosenberg: It was my fault. I upset you.
- Oz: [dryly sarcastic] Well, so we're safe then... 'cause you'll never do that again.
- Rupert Giles: How did you get in?
- Spike: The door was unlocked. You might want to watch that, Rupert. Someone dangerous could get in.
- Buffy Summers: Or someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying.
- Buffy Summers: [holding a gun to the Colonel's head] Stay back or I'll pull a William Burroughs on your leader here.
- Xander Harris: You'll bore him to death with free prose?
- Buffy Summers: Was I the only one awake in English that day?
- Buffy Summers: You sounded like Mr. Initiative. Demons bad. People good.
- Riley Finn: Somethin' wrong with that theorem?
- Buffy Summers: Zippo. Patrol's been totally uneventful. My kill count's way down.
- Willow Rosenberg: [to Tara] She means there's been less bad-guy activity.
- Rupert Giles: We know what that often indicates.
- Xander Harris: Buffy doesn't make her quota. Bad Slayer.
- Buffy Summers: I wanna hear about you and Oz. You saw him, right?
- Willow Rosenberg: I was with him all night.
- Buffy Summers: All night? Oh, my God. Wait... Last night was a wolf moon, right?
- Willow Rosenberg: Yup.
- Buffy Summers: Either you're about to tell me something incredibly kinky, or...
- Willow Rosenberg: No kink... He didn't change, Buffy. He said he was gonna find a cure and he did. In Tibet.
- Buffy Summers: Oh, my God. I can't believe it. Okay, I-I'm all with the whoo-hoo here and you're not.
- Willow Rosenberg: No, there's "whoo" and "hoo," but there's "uh-oh" and "why now?" And... it's complicated.
- [first lines]
- Tara Maclay: Do you like cats?
- Willow Rosenberg: I'm more a dog person, myself. But I'm not, like, death to all cats.
