- [Giles is taken to the ground by the gang]
- Xander Harris: Touch him! Touch him!
- Dawn Summers: Oh, I feel him! I feel him!
- Xander Harris: Me too.
- Andrew Wells: Me too.
- Rupert Giles: Good. We all feel each other. Including some of us who don't know each other well enough to take such liberties, thank you. Um, I assume there is a perfectly reasonable and not at all insane explanation, yes?
- Anya: We thought you might be non-corporeal evil.
- Dawn Summers: We got a call. We couldn't remember you touching anything.
- Xander Harris: We had to make sure you were okay. We were worried.
- Rupert Giles: Oh. Ah. Yes, well, that's very sweet. Now, wait a minute, you thought- You think I'm evil if I bring a group of girls on a camping trip and *don't* touch them?
- Spike: What's happening?
- General: Miss Summers. Agent Finn reported that you tried to contact him earlier today.
- Buffy Summers: I knew it!
- [to Spike]
- Buffy Summers: Government conspiracy.
- General: He indicated you might be needing our assistance. We're to provide you anything you need to help with "assface" here.
- [Buffy and Spike stare at him]
- General: Those were his exact words, ma'am.
- Buffy Summers: There's gotta be a reason why the chip is going all wonky. Maybe it's related to the trigger. Or maybe it has something to do with the new soul.
- Spike: Or maybe I wasn't meant to last this long.
- [pause]
- Spike: One more thing you and I have in common, eh, pet?
- Buffy Summers: Well, we'll fix it. We'll hit serious research mode.
- Spike: Good. Try behavior modification software throughout the ages.
- Buffy Summers: [sighs] Okay. You're right. Not a book thing.
- [pauses, comes to a realization]
- Buffy Summers: It's a phone thing.
- Spike: Who ya gonna call...? God, that phrase is never gonna be usable again, is it?
- Buffy Summers: Doubt it.
- Xander Harris: You're not coming.
- Andrew Wells: What? W-Why? 'Cause I used to be evil?
- Xander Harris: No. Actually, because you're annoying, but, uh, that's a good reason, too.
- Andrew Wells: Wait, Wait. Don't-Don't- Don't leave me here alone. I-I keep getting attacked in this house.
- Dawn Summers: Actually, Xand...
- Andrew Wells: W-What if this is all part of the plan? Drive you guys away so it can have its way with me? E-Ev-Ever think of that?
- Xander Harris: I'll risk it.
- Andrew Wells: Okay. Well, if you leave me here alone, I'll-I'll do something evil, like burning something or gluing things together.
- Buffy Summers: Giles is off on the retreat.
- Spike: Give us all a chance for a breather, eh?
- Buffy Summers: From Giles?
- Spike: From the constant pitter-patter of clomping teenage girlie feet.
- Buffy Summers: I have no idea what you're talking about.
- Spike: Come off it.
- Buffy Summers: No, I enjoy my responsibility as mentor, role model, life guide. Oh, my God. I cannot believe I have my bathroom all to myself for two whole days.
- Spike: It's like a bloody war zone up there, and not in the good way.
- Buffy Summers: Have you seen the kitchen since they've been here?
- Kennedy: Let's start with the easy stuff. How long have you known...? That you were gay?
- Willow Rosenberg: Wait. That's easy? And what, you just assume that I'm-I'm gay? I mean, presume much?
- Kennedy: Okay, sorry. How long have you enjoyed having sex with women?
- Willow Rosenberg: Hey! And what, you think you have some sort of special "lesbidar" or something?
- Kennedy: Okay, you know there's a better word for that, right?
- Buffy Summers: Wil? How much do you know about the chip?
- Willow Rosenberg: Spike's chip? Well, I remember trying to dig up stuff back then, but, you know, turns out when a secret government agency studies vampires and puts chips in their brains that keep them from hurting people, they don't really build web sites.
- Buffy Summers: This trip is important for the girls to understand the source of their power, and-and to know how to use it right.
- Rupert Giles: I don't think they appreciate the gravity of what we're undertaking. It's frightening and it's difficult... And then apparently, someone told them that the Vision Quest consists of me driving them into the desert, doing the hokey pokey until a spooky Rasta-Mama Slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles.
- Buffy Summers: That's not exactly how I put it.
- [Kennedy has just confessed an interest in Willow]
- Willow Rosenberg: I just... I still don't get it. Why you like me. I mean, you don't even know me.
- Kennedy: Have you seen you? And we like the same things. Italian, skate-punk, Robert Parker mysteries, fighting evil.
- Willow Rosenberg: I don't like any of that stuff, except the fighting evil part. But, even then I prefer a nice foot massage.
- Kennedy: Okay. I dig the way you always turn off the Moulin Rouge DVD at chapter 32 so it has a happy ending... I like the way you speak. It's interesting. And your freckles... Lickable.
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, I just... Can you always tell just-just by looking at someone?
- Kennedy: No. No, of course not. That wouldn't be any fun. The fun part is the process of, of getting to know a girl. It's like... It's like flirting in code. It's using body language and laughing at the right jokes and... and looking into her eyes... and knowing she's still whispering to you... even when she's not saying a word. And that sense that, if you can just touch her, just once, everything will be okay, for both of you... That's how you can tell... Or if she's really hot, you just get her drunk, see if she comes on to you.
- Xander Harris: [entering] Giles, you might wanna get out there.
- Rupert Giles: Oh, God. What?
- Dawn Summers: [entering] Molly and Rona are fighting over who gets to drive first leg.
- Buffy Summers: Bet you wish you'd renewed that California State driver's license now, huh?
- Anya: [entering] Rona won. You should probably let Molly out of the trunk.
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] And I have a history with my witchy subconscious making things go "ker-floopy."
- [first lines]
- Rupert Giles: Are you sure you'll be all right?
- Dawn Summers: You'll only be gone for two days.
- Buffy Summers: I think we've managed a bit longer than that.
- Rupert Giles: Right.
- Willow Rosenberg: Hey. How is he?
- Buffy Summers: Oh, in the "goes" part of "comes and goes."
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, there seems to be a definite lack of screaming. That has to be good.
- [Willow enters with a gun]
- Willow Rosenberg: You think you can just do that to me, that I'd let you get away with it?
- Kennedy: Do? Get away with...
- [Willow points the gun at Kennedy]
- Kennedy: Okay. Let's not get excited.
- Willow Rosenberg: It's too late for that. This is what I am. I made it happen, and I'll make it stop.
- Kennedy: Willow... what did you make happen?
- Willow Rosenberg: You were there, bitch. You saw it.
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] I killed her.
- Kennedy: You mean "him."
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] Her. Him. You know what I mean.
- Kennedy: But you said her.
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] No. That was Warren.
- Kennedy: No. No, it wasn't. You said I was there. Who did you kill, Willow?
- Willow Rosenberg: It was your fault, slut!
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] You tricked me. You got me to forget.
- Kennedy: Tara.
- Warren Meers: [as Willow] Shut up!
- Willow Rosenberg: Shut up! You do not get to say her name. Offering it up to who ever's there. Tricking me into kissing you.
- Willow Rosenberg: [to Kennedy] For someone who's sick, you look surprisingly robust and... casual dressy.
- [last lines]
- Willow Rosenberg: It's me? I'm back? Oh, God.
- Kennedy: Are you all right?
- Willow Rosenberg: I have no idea... I'm so tired.
- Kennedy: Yeah... I'll make you some tea.
