There's "woo," and there's "hoo." But there's "uh oh" and "why now?"

New Moon Rising


Tara: Do you like cats?
Willow: I'm more of a dog person myself. But I'm not like, "death to all cats." Why?
Tara: Cause I was thinking of getting one.
Willow: Can you have one in the dorms?
Tara: No, but this would be a sneaky cat.
Willow: That would be cool. You mean it'd be sort of like a familiar?
Tara: Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could ... we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.
Willow: And we could make kitty go bonkers with string and catnip and stuff?
Tara: Absolutely.
Willow: Fun! I'm in.
Tara: So, you're not allergic or anything.
Willow: Nope.
Tara: Good, cause ... I want my room to be Willow-friendly.

Buffy: Patrol's been totally uneventful. My kill count's way down.
Willow to Tara: She means there's been less bad-guy activity.
Giles: Well, we know what that often indicates.
Xander: Buffy doesn't make her quota. Bad slayer!

Riley: Except the weird thing is, we've been busy at the Initiative. Our squads are pulling a lot more captures. We got demons coming out our ears.
Willow to Tara: That's a metaphor.
Tara: I got it, thanks.
Willow: I'm overhelping, aren't I?

Willow: 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.
Oz: Yeah, sorry.

Riley: Oz is a werewolf, and Willow was dating him?!
Buffy: Yes. Hence the high emotions.
Riley: You're kidding me. Gotta say I'm surprised. I didn't think Willow was that kind of girl.
Buffy: What kind of girl?
Riley: Into dangerous guys. She seems smarter than that.
Buffy: Oz is not dangerous. Something happened to him that wasn't his fault. 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.
Buffy: Yeah, well love isn't logical, Riley. It's not like you can be Mister Joe Sensible about it all the time. God knows I haven't been.

Oz: I talked to Xander, and he said you didn't have a new guy.
Willow: No. No new... guy.

Willow: So that's it? You keep your cool, and no more wolfie?
Oz: No, there's more. I take some herbs and stuff. Some chanting. A couple of charms.
Willow: It's incredible. You've been all around the world. You've had this complete mind/body transformation. I've just been here. Same old Sunnydale.
Oz: Doesn't mean you haven't gone through a lot.
Willow: It's true. Some of it, you know, was me telling myself I hated you and cursing your name. Not literally.

Riley: Look, I only said what I said because I'm concerned. I don't wanna see her get hurt.
Buffy: You sounded like Mr. Initiative. Demons bad, people good.
Riley: Something wrong with that theorem?
Buffy: There's different degrees of...
Riley: Evil?
Buffy: It's just... different with different demons. There are creatures - vampires, for example - that aren't evil at all.
Riley: Name one.

Buffy: Okay, I'm all with the woo-hoo here, and you're not.
Willow: No, there's "woo" and, 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. (realizing) Oh!

Adam: The humans need a leader... a champion. The Slayer can do that.
Spike: Yeah... the thing about the Slayer is... she is a whiny little thing, but when it comes to the fighting, she does have a slight tendency to win.
Adam: Then I guess you should be on her side.
Spike: This all goes down, the chip comes out, yeah? No tricks.
Adam: Scout's honor.
Spike: You were a Boy Scout?
Adam: Parts of me.

Xander: It'd be great if we knew someone dating a man on the inside. Someone with connections. Oh, wait!

Giles: How did you get in?
Spike: Door was unlocked. You might wanna watch that, Rupert. Someone dangerous could get in.
Buffy: Or someone formerly dangerous and currently annoying.

Colonel: 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. You help us take them down, and you just might save your military career. Otherwise, you'll go to your grave labeled a traitor. No woman is worth that.

Buffy: I've mentioned how much I'm gonna kill you if this is a scam, right?
Spike: Look, would I wear this if I wasn't on the up-and-up?
Willow: You do sorta look like an evil olive.

Anya: Slap my hand now!
Giles: Beg your pardon?
Anya: In celebration.
Giles: Oh... Yes. (slaps her hand)
Anya:
Ow!

Riley: Buffy... If I leave now, I can't ever come back. ... I just wanted to hear that out loud.

Buffy: Stay back... or I'll pull a William Burroughs on your leader here.
Xander: You'll bore him to death with free prose?
Buffy: Was I the only one awake in English that day?

Colonel: You're a dead man, Finn.
Riley: No, sir. I'm an anarchist.

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 in me is you... which falls under the heading of ironic in my book.
Willow: It was my fault. I upset you.
Oz: Well, so we're safe then, cuz you'll never do that again. 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.

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.

Tara: No, I understand. You have to be with the person you love.
Willow: I am.
