Cordelia: "Come in, Nighthawk! Everything okay?"
Buffy: "Nighthawk?"

Joyce: Don't you leave this house young lady. You know, that's it. You and I are gonna have a talk.
Buffy: Mom, please.
Joyce: You know what? I don't care. I don't care what your friends think of me, or you for that matter because you put me through the ringer Buffy. I mean it, and I've had schnapps. Do you have any idea what it's been like?
Buffy: Mom, this isn't the-
Joyce: You can't imagine... months of not knowing. Not knowing whether you're lying dead in a ditch somewhere or, I don't know, living it up.
Buffy: But you told me! You're the one who said I should go. You said if I leave this house, don't come back. You found out who I was and you couldn't deal. Don't you remember?
Joyce: Buffy, you didn't give me time. You just dumped this thing on me and you expect me to get it. But, guess what? Mom's not perfect. I handled it badly. That doesn't give you the right to punish me by running away.
Buffy: Punish you? I didn't do this to punish you.
Xander: Well, you did. You should have seen what you put her through.
Buffy: Great, thanks. Anybody else wanna weigh in here? How 'bout you by the dip?
Guy by the dip: No thanks, I'm good.
Xander: You know, maybe you don't wanna hear it Buffy, but taking off like you did was incredibly selfish and stupid.
Buffy: Okay, I screwed up. I know this. But you have no idea. You have no idea what happened to me or what I was feeling.
Xander: Did you even try talking to anybody?
Buffy: There was nothing that anybody could do. Okay, I just had to deal with this on my own.
Xander: Well, you see how well that one worked out.

Buffy: "What if he's mad?"
Xander: "Mad? Just because you ran away and abandoned your post and your friends and your mom and made him lay awake every night worrying about you? Maybe we should wait out here."

Giles: Cordelia, it's me! It's me!
Cordelia: How do we know it's really you and not zombie Giles?
Giles: Cordelia, do stop being tiresome.
Cordelia: It's him.

Joyce: "What do we do if they get in?"
Xander: "I kind of think we die!"
