- [after they've been making love]
- Buffy Summers: We missed the bed again.
- Spike: Lucky for the bed.
- [Buffy looks at the Oriental carpet which she's draped over herself]
- Buffy Summers: Is this a new rug?
- Spike: Mmm, no. Just looks different when you're under it.
- Buffy Summers: [chuckles then sighs] You know, this place is okay for a hole in the ground. You fixed it up.
- Spike: Well, I ate a decorator once. Maybe something stuck.
- Buffy Summers: I've been thinking about doing something to my room.
- Spike: Yeah?
- Buffy Summers: Yeah. I think the New Kids on the Block posters are starting to date me.
- Spike: [chuckles] Well, if you want, I can... Are we having a conversation?
- Buffy Summers: What? No! No... Maybe.
- Spike: Hmm...
- Buffy Summers: What?
- Spike: Well, isn't this usually the part where you kick me in the head and run out, virtue fluttering?
- Buffy Summers: That's the plan... as soon as my legs start working.
- Spike: [laughs] You were amazing.
- Buffy Summers: You got the job done, yourself.
- [Buffy is anxious to leave after they've spent all night making love, and Spike is peeved]
- Spike: What is this to you... this thing we have?
- Buffy Summers: What? We don't have a... thing. We have "this." That's all.
- Spike: Do you even like me?
- Buffy Summers: [pause] Sometimes.
- Spike: But you like what I do to you.
- [she doesn't answer. He pulls out a pair of handcuffs and dangles them]
- Spike: Do you trust me?
- Buffy Summers: [long pause] Never.
- [in an alley behind the police station]
- Buffy Summers: [angrily] What did you do?
- Spike: What I had to. I went back and I took care of it. It doesn't matter now. No one will ever find her.
- [two cops exit from the front of the police station]
- Cop #1: Where'd they find her?
- Cop #2: The river. She washed up half a mile from the cemetery.
- Spike: Oh, balls.
- Buffy Summers: A girl is dead because of me.
- Spike: And how many people are alive because of you? How many have you saved? One dead girl doesn't tip the scale.
- Buffy Summers: That's all it is to you, isn't it? Just another body.
- Spike: Buffy...
- [she hits him]
- Buffy Summers: You can't understand why this is killing me, can you?
- Spike: Why don't you explain it?
- [she starts beating him up]
- Spike: Come on. That's it. Put it on me. Put it all on me. That's my girl.
- Buffy Summers: I am not your girl.
- [knocks him down and starts pounding him]
- Buffy Summers: You don't... have a soul! There is nothing good or clean in you! You are dead inside! You can't feel anything real. I could never be your girl.
- [she eventually stops beating him]
- Spike: You always hurt... the one you love, pet.
- [after hurrying into the Doublemeat Palace]
- Tara Maclay: Hey. Sorry I'm late.
- Buffy Summers: Oh, time has no meaning here.
- Buffy Summers: Where are you going?
- Dawn Summers: Um, sleeping over at Janice's.
- Buffy Summers: And I'm falling for that again because of the surprise lobotomy?
- Xander Harris: Hey, I see sitting where there should be dancing.
- Anya: Come share in the joy of our groove thang.
- Willow Rosenberg: And despite that, I succumb to the beat.
- [watching Xander and Anya dance]
- Willow Rosenberg: [to Buffy] What are they doing...? We're not gonna have to do that at the wedding, are we? 'Cause there's this last thread of dignity I've been desperately clinging to.
- [last lines]
- Tara Maclay: You're going through a really hard time, and you're...
- Buffy Summers: What? Using him...? What's okay about that?
- Tara Maclay: It's not that simple.
- Buffy Summers: It is. It's wrong. I'm wrong. Tell me that I'm wrong, please.
- [starts crying]
- Buffy Summers: Please don't forgive me. Please! God, please don't... Please don't for give me...! Please don't!
- [Jonathan and Andrew have been tussling]
- Warren Meers: Hey...! When you girls are done touching each other, the cerebral dampener is ready to be charged.
