The Harsh Light of Day

---

Willow: "Buffy's looking at Parker. Who it turns out has a reflection, so big plus there. Buffy's having lusty wrong feelings."
Buffy: "No I'm not."
Willow: "No, you're not."
Buffy: "Oh, I so am."
Willow: "No, uh, they're not wrong feelings cause you're free, you're both grown-ups. You are free, right?"

Devon: "That was like the best set ever. We'll do great in LA. We're gonna have them glued to their seats."
Willow: "Uh, Devon. Aren't they supposed to dance?"
Oz: "Well, we can glue then to the dance floor."
Devon: "I didn't mean with real glue. You got that, right?"

Harmony: "Okay, fine. Hide behind your boyfriend. But I have a boyfriend too. And he's gonna be mad that you were mean to me."

Parker: "What do you like to do?"
Buffy: "Mostly I hang out. And do... stuff."
Parker: "Yeah, I was into that for a while."

Xander: "I am not enjoying this."
Giles: "Well shelve them correctly and we can finish."
Xander: "I don't get your crazy system."
Giles: "System? It's called the alphabet."
Xander: "Huh. Would you look at that."

Anya: "Where is our relationship going?"
Xander: "Our what? Our who?"
Anya: "Relationship. What kind do we have. And what is it progressing toward?"
Xander: "I... Uh... We have a relationship?"
Anya: "Yeah. We went to the prom."
Xander: "Yeah, on our one and only date. Second date called on account of snake, remember? And the whole, you used to be a man killing demon thing. Which to be fair, is as much my issue as it is yours."
Anya: "I can't stop thinking about you. Sometimes in my dreams, you're all naked."
Xander: "Really. You know if I'm in the checkout line at Wal-Mart I've had the same one."

Oz: "Hey. Hi, hi. Remember Harmony."
Willow: "She's back from her summer vacation. And she's a little bit different."
Buffy: "Different?"
Willow: "Paler."
Parker: "Is your neck okay?"
Buffy: "Neck. Paler. The puppy. The angry puppy."
Oz: "Yeah, we came to warn you about the - angry puppy."

Buffy: "Harmony. A vampire? She must be dying without a reflection."

Oz: "Well, Devon dated her for a while, but she was too flaky for him. Which, stop and marvel at the concept."
Buffy: "Guy dating Harmony dead. Must be like, the most tolerant guy in the world."

Harmony: "How's my little Blondie bear?"
Spike: "Harm, does this look like a good time?"

Spike: "Nobody knows I'm here. And I'm not killing the slayer's best friend because that would tend to announce my presence."

Buffy: "Spike. And Harmony."
Harmony: "Buffy. Hi. What a cute outfit. Last year."

Buffy: "And you with Harmony. What's you do? Loose a bet?"
Harmony: "Hey."

Buffy: "What's the matter Spike? Dru dump you again."
Spike: "Maybe I left her."
Harmony: "She left him for a fungus demon. That's all he talks about most days."

Giles: "The gem of amara. Are you sure?"
Buffy: "Yeah, what's up?"
Giles: "Uh, oh, it's just, uh, it's not real. It's uh, the vampire equivalent of the Holy Grail. The source of some enormous power, was convienetly vague. Oh, here it is, yes. There was a great deal of vampiric interest in locating it during the, uh, oh the 10th century. Questing vampires combed the earth, but no one ever found anything. It was concluded that it never existed."

Harmony: "Hey, I don't have a pulse. Cool. Hey, can we eat a doctor so we can get a stethoscope and hear my heart not beating?"
Spike: "Harm. Will you shut the hell up?!"
Harmony: "And if my heart is not beating, what are these blue veins for. I'm simply covered in these blue veins. See."

Spike: "Bite your tongue."
Harmony: "Do it for me."

Xander: "So, the crux of this plan is -"
Anya: "Sexual intercourse I've said it like a dozen times."
Xander: "Uh, huh. Just working through a little hysterical deafness here."

Xander: "But sexual interc -- What you're talking about, well -- and I'm actually turning into a woman as I say this -- but it's about expressing something. And accepting consequencces."

Buffy: "I'm so sorry. It's just that - the English guy is an old friend and he's not supposed to drink and I saw him here in the land of the beer-"
Parker: "It's okay. You did a good thing for your friend. Did uh, you and he used to go out."
* Short burst of hysterical laughter from Buffy. She abruptly stops. *
Buffy: "Um, no. No we really didn't."

Parker: "Think I could get a dance with the prettiest girl at the party?"
Buffy: "What am I supposed to do? Stand over here and watch?"

Buffy: "Just shirt. Pants. Everybody needs pants."

Anya: "So I'm over you now."
Xander: "Um, okay."
Anya: "Okay?!"
Xander: "Yeah..."

Harmony: "You love that tunnel more than me."
Spike: "I love syphillis more than you."

Buffy: "I was studying at the library. All Saturday night. Uh, you kow what. I'm an adult now and it's none of yur business what I do."
Giles: "I'm sincerely relieved to hear that. Now can we discuss the impending disater."

Harmony: "I don't know why I let you be so mean to me."
Spike: "Love hurts baby."

Harmony: "So is it doing it? Do you feel it. I mean, you don't look different, if you were wondering. I thought maybe you'd look taller or glow or something. Hmmm."

Xander: "Whoa, Giles has a TV. Everybody, Giles has a TV. He's shallow like us."
Oz: "I got to admit, I'm a little disappointed."
Giles: "I, ah, uh, uh."
Willow: "Well maybe it doesn't work. Like a piece of art."
Giles: "Public television."

Buffy: "Parker did I do something wrong?"
Parker: "Something wrong? No, of course not. It was fun. Didn't you have fun? Watch out how you answer that. My ego is fragile.'
Buffy: "You had fun? Was that all it was?"
Parker: "What else was it supposed to be?"
Buffy: "It seemed like you liked me."

Spike: "Birds singing, squirrels making lots of rotten little squirrels. Sun beaming down in a nice, non-fatal way. It's very exciting. I can't wait to see if I freckle."

Harmony: "Being a vampire sucks."

Spike: "So, you let Parker take a poke, eh? Didn't seem like you knew each other that well. What did it take to pry apart the Slayer's dimpled knees?"
Buffy: "You're a pig Spike."
Spike: "Did he play the sensitive lad and get you to seduce him? That's a good trick if the girl's thick enough to buy it... I wonder what went wrong. Were you too strong? Did you bruise the boy? Guess you're not worth a second go. Come to think of it seems like someone told me that. Who was it? Oh, yeah. Angel."

Willow: "I like it."
Oz: "It's small."
Xander: "Really worth getting my ribs bashed in."

Buffy: "So what I'm wondering is, does this always happen? Sleep with a guy and he goes all evil. God, I'm such a fool."
Willow: "Well maybe you made a mistake. But that's okay. Next time - what?"
Buffy: "Parker said it was okay to make mistakes. It was sweet."
Willow: "No it wasn't. He was saying that so you would take a chance and sleep with him. He's a poop head."
Buffy: "You're right. He's manipulative and shallow. And why doesn't he want me. Am I repulsive? If there was something repulsive about me you would tell me, right?"
Willow: "I'm your friend. I would call you repulsive in a second."

Buffy: "I think I'm gonna take a walk. You go on ahead."
Willow: "You sure?"
Buffy: "Yeah."
