<b>Quotes:</b>

WILLOW: I can't figure him out. I mean, he's so hot and cold. Or luke-warm and cold.

BUFFY: Welcome to the mystery that is men. I think it goes something like, they grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want.

WILLOW: It doesn't seem like a fair trade.

--

WILLOW: Hey.

OZ: Hey.

WILLOW: Did you want to go first?

OZ: I spoke to Giles. He said I'll be okay. I just have to lock myself up around the full moon. Only he used more words than that. And a globe.

WILLOW: I'm sorry about how all this ended up. With me shooting you and all.

OZ: It's okay. I'm, I'm sorry I almost ate you.

WILLOW: It's okay. I kind of thought you would have told me.

OZ: I didn't know what to say. I mean, it's not everyday you find out you're a werewolf. That's fairly freaksome. It may take a couple days getting used to.

WILLOW: Yeah. It's a complication.

OZ: So... Maybe it'd be best if I just... sorta...

WILLOW: What?

OZ: Well, you know, like, stayed out of your way for awhile.

WILLOW: I don't know. I'm kind of okay with you being *in* my way.

OZ: You mean, you'd still...

WILLOW: Well, I like you. You're nice and you're funny. And you don't smoke. Yeah, okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month I'm not much fun to be around either.

OZ: You are quite the human.

WILLOW: So, I'd still if you'd still.

OZ: I'd still. I'd *very* still.

WILLOW: Okay. No biting, though.

OZ: Agreed.
