The wolf is inside me all the time, and I don't know where that line is anymore between me and it.Wild At Heart
Buffy, beating up a vampire: Thanks for the relocate. I perform better without an audience. You were thinking, what, a little helpless co-ed before bed? You know very well, you eat this late... (She stakes him) You're gonna get heartburn. Get it?
Heartburn? That's it? That's all I get? One lame-ass vamp with no appreciation for my painstakingly thought-out puns? I don't think the forces of darkness are even
trying. I mean, you could make a little effort here, you know? Give me something to work with.
Spike: Watch your mouth, little girl. You should know better than to tempt the fates that way. 'Cause the big bad is back, And this time, it's... (Suddenly the commandoes nab him.) Urrgh! Aaaahhh!
Buffy: So if college is so great, what are we doing here and why is it more fun?
Willow: Because the Bronze is nice and familiar. It's like a big comfy blanky.
Oz: I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.
Willow: Aw, you're my person blanky. This is my place blanky.
Giles: I'm down with the new music. And I have the albums to prove it.
Buffy: Yes, but it's your cutting edge 8-tracks that keep you ahead of the scene.
Oz: Don't scoff, gang. I've seen Giles's collection. He was an animal in his day.
Giles: Thank you.
Buffy: Hey, why not? If the Stones can still keep rolling, why can't Giles?
Willow: How'd you do? (Buffy shows her her assignment) This is good. I mean, this is excellent. You did better than me. This is so unfair! You made me jealous of you academically. Buffy! (Hugs her)
Buffy: I know. Can you believe it?
Willow: Wow. I guess Professor Walsh isn't so ogre-y after all.
Buffy: And she wants me to lead a discussion group next class. That means more work, right? Shouldn't she have a better reward system? You know, like a cookie or a toy surprise like at the dentist?
Willow: She wants you to lead a discussion group? Okay. Jealous again.
Jealous... jealous... Okay. I'm back.
Veruca to Oz: You know what I am. You've known since the first time you saw me.
Oz: Just wanna get back to my place, figure out why we got out of our cages.
Veruca: You have a cage?
Oz: Don't you?
Veruca: Uh, yeah. Has a little wheel with a plastic ball, and a cute little bell in it. God! Somebody's domesticated the hell out of you.
Oz: It's my choice. I don't want to hurt anybody.
Veruca: Maybe, or maybe you just don't wanna admit what happened to you. Maybe you just wanna pretend like you're a regular guy.
Oz: Well, I am. I'm only a wolf 3 nights a month.
Veruca: Or you're a wolf all the time and this human face is just your disguise. You ever think about that, Oz?
Oz: I'm going. I gotta check the paper, see if we did any damage last night.
Veruca: Oh, we did. But only to each other. I know some part of you remembers that. It doesn't take a full moon. We could do it again right here.
Veruca: You don't understand. But you will. You'll see that we belong together.
Oz: No. I know where I belong.
(Giles is watching a game show on TV.)
Giles: Peace of Westphalia.
Contestant: Uh, Yalta?
Giles: Oh, you moron. That dinette set should be mine.
Giles: You come on business, I hope?
Buffy: Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.
Giles, embarrassed: I only meant, uh, that I'm at the ready.
Xander: Hey, Will. Mom let you in?
Willow: She seemed cranky.
Xander: Yeah. We're having a little landlord-tenant dispute, so I'm withholding rent. An effective and, might I add, thrifty tactic.
Willow: How come?
Xander: She won't let me put a lock on my door. I suspect she's afraid I'll start having The Sex.
Willow: Yeah. Parents usually wait till you're out of the house. Or under it.
Xander: Or under it...?
Willow: To start worrying about stuff like that.
Xander: It's mostly too late.
Willow: What does it mean when a girl wants to... You know.
Xander: If you're doin' it, I think you should be able to say it.
Willow: Make love.
Xander: Wild monkey love or tender Sarah Mclachlan love?
Willow: Any kind. But what if the girl wants to and the guy doesn't? That's a bad sign, right?
Xander: Could be. Or the girl caught the guy in one of the seven annual minutes he's legitimately too preoccupied to do it.
Buffy: Oz... You okay? If it's possible, you seem more monosyllabic than usual.
Oz: I don't know what Veruca and I have done. When I change, it's like, it's like I'm gone and the wolf takes over.
Oz: You wanna hurt me, hurt me. You leave her out of this.
Veruca: How can I? She's the reason you're living in cages. She's blinding you. When she's gone, you'll be able to admit what you are.
Oz: You don't wanna find out what I am.
Veruca: You're an animal. Animals kill.
Oz: You're right. We kill. (Wolfs out and advances on Veruca)
Giles: You saved Willow.
Buffy: Right now she wishes I hadn't. Giles, I've never seen her like this. It's like it hurts too much to form words.
Giles: You've felt that way yourself, and you got through it.
Buffy: Yeah. I ran away and went to hell and then got through it. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't use me as a model.
Willow: What are you doing?
Oz: I'm going. Willow: Now?
Oz: Mmm hmm.
Willow: That's your solution?
Oz: That's my decision.
Oz: The wolf is inside me all the time, and I don't know where that line is anymore between me and it. And until I figure out what that means, I shouldn't be around you... Or anybody.
Willow: Well, that could be a problem 'cause people... Kind of a planetary epidemic.
Oz: I'll find someplace.
Willow: Well, how long?
Oz: I don't know.
Willow: Oz... Don't you love me?
Oz: My whole life, I've never loved anything else.
