BUFFY: What are you doing here? Five words or less.
SPIKE: Out... for... a... walk... bitch.
BUFFY: Out for a walk at night by my house. No one has time for this, William.
SPIKE: On your merry way, then. You know, contrary to one's self-involved world-view, your house happens to be directly between parts... and other parts of this town. And I would pass by in the day but I feel I'm outgrowing my whole "burst into flame" phase.
BUFFY: Fine. Keep going, I cut you a break.
SPIKE: Oh, yeah. Okay, let me guess... you won't kill me? Wooo... the whole crowd-pleasing threats-and-swagger routine. How stunningly original. You know, I'm just passing through. Satisfied? You know, I really hope so because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard and I never really liked you anyway and... and you have stupid hair.

Xander: I know what you're thinkin'. Can I get by him? Get up the stairs, out of the building, seconds ticking away... I don't love your chances.
Jack: Then you'll die, too.
Xander: Yeah, looks like. So I guess the question really is... who has less fear?
Jack: I'm not afraid to die. I'm already dead.
Xander: Yeah, but this is different. Being blowed up isn't walking around and drinking with your buddies dead. It's little bits being swept up by a janitor dead, and I don't think you're ready for that.
Jack: Are you?
Xander: I like the quiet.

Another Peaceful War
by Marina Frants
"I'm not programmed. I'm not programmed. I'm not--"
"Riley." Graham gives me a shake. "Ry. Don't freak on me." He keeps talking in a low voice until I settle down, then comes around to sit facing me. "Look, we both know Walsh went and played God with you when you weren't looking. No point pretending it didn't happen. But if you couldn't think for yourself, we'd all be body parts in Adam's zombie army right now. So chill, ok? You're not programmed."
"Yeah. Right." I rub one hand over my face. "So what's worse, being brainwashed or being crazy?"
"You're not crazy, either. But you're going to be if you keep on like this."
I can't argue with that. I know I'm in a bad place. Trouble is, I can't see my way out of it. I came home to recover, but it's only gotten worse, and I don't know where else I can run. I look at Graham sitting there looking sympathetic, and I hate him for being so cool and collected when I'm falling to pieces. I also hate myself for what I'm about to say, but I say it anyhow.
"Tell me what to do."
So much for the new, independent Riley Finn who doesn't need to take orders from anybody.

The Way We Live Now
by labingi
But what really bugs me is that it's like she's been sleepwalking all her unlife, like she doesn't have a handle on the world she's been living in. The other day, I found her sewing a patch onto one of my old pairs of jeans. Just sitting there, needle and thread, in one of those long dresses she still wears--never the kind with bare arms anymore. I miss seeing those slim, pretty arms. She was sitting up so bloody straight, and you could chuck her into some time warp and plop her down on the streets of London, 1860, and she wouldn't look all that out of place. Underdressed, yeah, but no more so than many a beggar woman huddled in a doorway. (Did I just say, "many a"?)
Anyway, I found myself riffing on this old Blackadder line: "Dru, to you the twentieth century was just something that happened to other people, eh?"
I swear, she started to cry. She let her sewing drop in her lap, and her big opal eyes got bigger and stared at me. "I'm trying but...I'm a fish," she said. "Its lips are all torn, and it swims away, but no matter how hard it swims, it keeps getting reeled back." And then she said, "What else is there?"
(More...)

BUFFY: How badly did you hurt him?
GILES: Well, hurt, uh ... maybe not ... hurt.
WILLOW: Well, I-I'm sure he was startled.
GILES: Uh, yes, yes, I'd imagine it gave him, uh, rather a turn.
BUFFY: He ran away, huh?
GILES: Um, sort of more ... uh ... turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. He said I didn't concern him.
