<b>Quotes:</b>

GILES: I never wanted you to see that side of me.

BUFFY: I'm not gonna lie to you. It was scary. I'm so used to you being a grownup, and then I find out that you're a person.

GILES: Most grownups are.

BUFFY: Who would've thought?

GILES: Some are even, uh... shortsighted, foolish people.

BUFFY: So, after all this time, we finally find out that we *do* have something in common. Which, apart from being a little weird, is kind of okay.
