"Good" "So, did anybody..." "Last night, you know, did anybody   burst into song?" "Merciful Zeus!" "We thought it was just us!" " Well, I sang but I had my guitar at the hotel..." " It was bizarre" "We were talking and then it was like..." "Like you were in a musical!" "That would explain the huge backing orchestra" "I couldn't see and the synchronized dancing from the room service chaps" "And we were arguing and then everything rhymed and there were harmonies and the dance with coconuts There was an entire verse about the cous-cous" "It was very disturbing" "What did you sing about?" "I don't remember." "But it seemed perfectly normal" "But disturbing." "And not the natural order of things" "And do you think it'll happen again?" "I don't know."

"What's causing it?" "I thought it didn't matter" "Well, I'm not exactly quaking in my stylish yet affordable boots but there's definitely something unnatural going on here" "And that doesn't usually lead to hugs and puppies" "Well, is it just us?"

"There's just a few volumes back at the house that deal with mystical chants, bacchanals." "It might be relevant" "Yeah, we could ..."

"Well, who wants to be cooped up on a day like this?" "The sun is shining, there's songs going on  those guys are checking you out" "What?" "What are they looking at?" "The hotness of you, doofus" "Those boys really thought I was hot?" "Entirely" "Oh my god." "I'm cured!" "I want the boys!" "Do I have to fight to keep you?" "'Cause I'm not large with the butch." "I'm just... not used to that." "They- they were really looking at me?" "And you can't imagine what they see in you" "I know exactly what they see in me."

"She's easing back into it" "We pulled her out of an untold hell dimension" "Ergo the weirdness The important thing is to be there for her" "I'm helping her as much as I can, but, uh..." "The sun sets and she appears" "Come to serenade me?" "So you know what's going on" "Well, I've seen some damn funny things in the last two days" "A 600 pound Chirago demon making like Yma Sumac, that one will stay with you" "I remain immune, happy to say" "Drink?" "A world of no" "So any idea what's causing this?" "Oh." "So that's all" "You've just come to pump me for information" "What else would I wanna pump you for?" "I really just said that, didn't I?"

"That fight you guys had about magic and stuff?" "It gives me belly rumblings when you guys fight." "Dawn, Willow and I never fought about..." "It's okay." "It's just... .. you guys are so great together." "I just hate it when you..." "But that was the only fight I've seen you guys have anyway" "But I'm still glad it's over."

"I feel like I should... bow, or... have honor or something." "It may seem hookey, but we need to work on precision" "And concentration as much as power." "We're still not sure what we're facing." "Oh, you'll figure it out." "I'm just worried this whole session's gonna turn into some training montage from an 80's movie." "Ah." "Well, if we hear any inspirational power chords we'll just lie down until they go away" "I don't think we need to work that much on your strength" "Yeah, I'm pretty spry for a corpse" "Have you spoken to Dawn about that incident at Halloween?" "Oh." "I thought you took care of that" "Right" "What would I do without you?" "Okay." "I'm ready" "You're not ready For the world outside" "You keep pretending But you just can't hide" "I know I said that I'd be standing by your side" "But I..." "Your path's unbeaten And it's all uphill" "And you can meet it But you never will" "And I'm the reason That you're standing still" "But I..." "I wish I could say the right words" "To lead you through this land" "Wish I could play the father" "And take you by the hand" "Wish I could stay here" "But now I understand" "I'm standing in the way" "The cries around you You don't hear at all" "'Cause you know I'm here to take that call" "So you just lie there When you should be standing tall" "But I..." "I wish I could lay your arms down" "And let you rest at last" "Wish I could slay your demons" "But now that time has passed" "Wish I could stay here" "Your stalwart, standing fast" "But I've been standing in the way" "I'm just standing... in the way" "Did you just say something?" ""Lethe's Bramble." "Used for augmenting spells of forgetting and mind control. "" "I'm under your spell God, how can this be?" "Playing with my memory" "You know I've been through hell" "Willow, don't you see?" "There'll be nothing left of me" "You made me believe..." "You made me believe..." "... believe me, I don't wanna go" "And it'll grieve me 'Cause I love you so" "But we both know" " Wish I could say the right words" " Wish I could trust that it was just this once" " To lead you through this land" " But I must do what I must" " Wish I could play the father" " I can't adjust to this disgust" " And take you by the hand" " We're done and I just" "Wish I could stay" "Wish I could stay..." "Lookie lookie what I found" "Is... is this the demon guy?" "Tara!" "Works for him" "Has a nice little story for the Slayer, don't you?" "Come on, then Sing" "My master has the Slayer's sister hostage at the Bronze because she summoned him and at midnight he's going to take her to the underworld to be his queen" "What does he want?" "Her" "If that's all you've got to say, then" "Strong Someday he'll be a real boy" "So." "Dawn's in trouble Must be Tuesday" "I..." "I just left her for a few minutes" "Oh, it's not your fault." "So what's the plan?" "Plan, schman." "Let's mount up." "No" "Uh, Dawn may have had the wrong idea in summoning this creature, but..." "I've seen some of these underworld child bride deals and, and they never end well." "Well, maybe once" "We're not just gonna stay here" "Yes we are." "Buffy's going alone" "Gah!" "Don't be a stupid git." "There is no..." "If I want your opinion, Spike, I'll..." "I'll never want your opinion" "A little confusion spell could..." "No!" "I mean, I don't think it'll help" "Look, forget them, Slayer." "I've got your back" "I thought you wanted me to stay away from you" "Isn't that what you sang?" "Spike sing a widdle song?" "Would you say it was a breakaway pop hit or more of a book number?" "Let it go, sweetie." "Fine." "I hope you dance till you burn." "You and the little bit" "You're really not coming" "It's up to you, Buffy" "What do you expect me to do?" "Your best" "I touch the fire and it freezes me" "I look into it and it's black" "Why can't I feel?" "My skin should crack and peel" "I want the fire back!" "Now through the smoke, She calls to me" "To make my way across the flame" "To save the day Or maybe melt away" "I guess it's all the same" "So I will walk through the fire" "'Cause where else can I turn?" "I will walk through the fire" "And let it..." "The torch I bear is scorching me" "Buffy's laughing, I've no doubt" "I hope she fries I'm free if that bitch dies!" "I better help her out" "'Cause she is drawn to the fire" "Some people never learn She will never learn" "And she will walk through the fire" "And let it..." "Will this do a thing to change her?" "Am I leaving Dawn in danger?" "Is my slayer too far gone to care?" "What if Buffy can't defeat it?" "Beady Eyes is right, we're needed!" "Or we could just sit around and glare" "We'll see it through It's what we're always here to do" "So we will walk through the fire" "So one by one, they turn from me" "I guess my friends can't face the cold "What can't we face...

"Showtime!" "I love a good entrance." "How are you with death scenes?" "You got a name?" "I've got a hundred" "Well, I ought to know what to call you if you're gonna be my brother-in-law" "Buffy, I swear I didn't do it" "Don't worry." "You're not going anywhere." "I am" "What?" "Deal's this." "I can't kill you?" "Let it burn!" "You take me to Hellsville in her place" "What if I kill you?" "Trust me." "Won't help" "Hm, that's gloomy!"
