Spike: "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have a good reason. As usual, I'm here to help you, and I - are you naked under there?"
Buffy (rolls her eyes): "Get out."
Spike: "No, I'm serious. I mean, not about the naked part, I mean..." (cranes his neck trying to see under the blankets)
Buffy: "Get out or I will drop you out head-first."
>Anya: "Oh. Who ordered more chickens' feet? The ones we have aren't moving at all."
Xander: "That's generally what happens when you cut them off the chicken."
Anya: "I'm serious. Maybe we could do a... holiday promotion. One free with every purchase."
Giles: "Oh, yes. Dear holiday memories. Merry tykes by the fire, enjoying their new Christmas... chicken feet."
Willow: "Aw, holding them tight as they fall asleep. Painting their little toenails."
>Anya (to Xander): "You know, fine, take her side instead of mine even though I'm the one who sleeps with you and feeds you, bathes you..."
Willow (to Xander): "She bathes you?"
Xander: "Only in an erotic, Penthouse-y way, not in a sponge-bath-y geriatric sort of..."
Giles (puts up a hand): "Please! Stop, I beg of you."
>Anya: "Have a nice day! Don't get killed."
>Riley: "You actually think you've got a shot with her?"
Spike: "No, I don't. Fella's gotta try, though. Gotta do what he can."
Riley: "If you touched her... you know I'd kill you for real."
Spike: "If I had this chip outta my head, I'da killed you long ago. Ain't love grand?"
>Spike (quietly; to Riley): "Sometimes I envy you so much it chokes me. And sometimes I think I got the better deal." (sighs) "To be that close to her and not have her. To be all alone even when you're holding her. Feeling her, feeling her beneath you. Surrounding you. The scent..." (louder) "No, you got the better deal."
>Xander: "Take this, for instance. You don't wanna deal, so you hide? It's not very Slayer-like."
Buffy: "Just leave me alone, Xander. You have no idea what's going on."
Xander: "No? Good, so you and Riley aren't imploding? It doesn't take a genious. What I can't figure out is how you never saw it coming."
Buffy: "What? Who told you?"
Xander: "Nobody told me anything, Buffy. It was right in front of my Xander face. The guy would do anything for you."
Buffy: "The guy got himself bite by a vampire! He lied to me. He ran around behind my back and almost got himself killed! And now he tells me that he's leaving with some covert military operation at midnight unless I convince him not to. Now tell me that you understand. Because I sure as hell don't."
Xander: "You gonna let him go?"
Buffy (sighs): "It's not my decision to make."
Xander: "Of course it is."
Buffy: "Well, it's not fair."
Xander: "Who cares if it's fair? In about 20 minutes, Riley's gonna disappear, maybe forever, unless you do something to stop him."
Buffy: "What am I suppose to do? Beg him to stay?"
Xander: "Why wouldn't you? To keep Riley here -"
Buffy: "I don't even know who he is anymore. I mean, I thought he was... dependable."
Xander: "Dependable? What is he, State Farm?"
Buffy: "You know what I mean."
Xander: "Yeah. I think you mean convienent. I think you took it for granted that he was gonna show up when you wanted him to, and take off when you didn't."
Buffy: "Look who's talking. Look who has Anya following him around like a lovesick puppy."
Xander: "Oh boy, is this not about me."
Buffy: "Is she more than a convenience? 'Cause that would kinda be a suprise."
Xander (angrily): "If you don't wanna hear what I have to say, I'll shut up right now."
Buffy: "Good, 'cause I don't." (starts to walk off; Xander intercepts her)
Xander: "I lied. See, what I think, you got burned with Angel, then Riley shows up."
Buffy: "I know the story, Xander."
Xander: "But you miss the point. You shut down, Buffy. And you've been treating Riley like the rebound guy. When he's the one that somes along once in a lifetime. He's never held back with you. He's risked everything. And you're about to let him fly because you don't like ultimatums? If he's not the guy, if what he needs from you just isn't there, let him go. Break his heart, and make it a clean break. But if you really think you can love this guy... I'm talking scary, messy, no-emotions-barred need... if you're ready for that... then think about what you're about to lose."
Buffy (anxious; tears in her eyes): "Xander..."
Xander: "Run."
>Xander (to Anya): "I've gotta say something. 'Cause... I don't think I've made it clear. I'm in love with you. Powerfully, painfully in love. The things you do... the way you think... the way you move... I get excited everytime I'm about to see you. You make me feel like I've never felt before in my life. Like a man. I just thought you might wanna know."
