- Oz: It's not everyday you find out that you're a werewolf. That's fairly freaksome. It may take a couple of days of getting used to.
- Willow Rosenberg: Yeah. It's a complication.
- Oz: So... Maybe it'd be best if I just... sorta...
- Willow Rosenberg: What?
- Oz: Well, you know, like... stayed out of your way for a while.
- Willow Rosenberg: I don't know. I'm kind of okay with you being *in* my life.
- Oz: You mean... you'd still...?
- Willow Rosenberg: Well... I like you. You're nice and you're funny. And you don't smoke. Yeah, okay, werewolf, 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 a human.
- Willow Rosenberg: So... I'd still... if you'd still.
- Oz: I'd still. I'd very still.
- Willow Rosenberg: Okay... No biting, though.
- Willow Rosenberg: Great. I'll give Xander a call. What's his number? Oh, yeah. 1-800-I'm-Dating-A-Skanky-Ho.
- Buffy Summers: Meow.
- Willow Rosenberg: Really? Thanks. I've never gotten a "meow" before.
- Oz: [on the phone] Aunt Maureen? Hey, it's me. Um, what? Oh. It's, uh... actually it's healing okay. That's pretty much the reason I called. Um, I wanted to ask you something. Is Jordy a werewolf?
- [pause]
- Oz: Uh-huh.
- [pause]
- Oz: And how long has that been going on?
- [pause]
- Oz: Uh-huh. What? No, no reason. Um... Thanks. Yeah, love to Uncle Ken.
- Buffy Summers: So, what's the scuttlebutt? Anybody besides Larry fit our werewolf profile?
- Willow Rosenberg: There is one name that keeps getting spit out. Aggressive behavior, run-ins with authorities... About a screenful of violent incidents.
- Buffy Summers: Okay, most of those were not *my* fault.
- [first lines]
- Willow Rosenberg: Hi.
- Oz: Oh, that's what I was gonna say.
- Willow Rosenberg: What'cha looking at?
- Oz: This cheerleading trophy. It's like its eyes follow you wherever you go... I like it.
- Buffy Summers: In other words, your typical male.
- Xander Harris: On behalf of my gender, *hey*.
- Rupert Giles: Yes, let's not jump to any conclusions.
- Buffy Summers: I didn't jump. I took a tiny step and there conclusions were.
- Rupert Giles: For now, but my guess is that this werewolf will be back at next month's full moon.
- Willow Rosenberg: What about tonight's full moon?
- Rupert Giles: Pardon?
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, last night was the night before the full moon. Traditionally known as... the night before the full moon.
- Willow Rosenberg: I'm sorry how all this ended up, with me shooting you and all.
- Oz: It's okay. I'm sorry I almost ate you.
- Willow Rosenberg: It's okay.
- Xander Harris: I just don't trust Oz with her. I mean, he's a senior. He's attractive. Okay, maybe not to me, but... And he's in a band. And we know what kind of element that attracts.
- Cordelia Chase: I've dated lots of guys in bands.
- Xander Harris: Thank you.
- Cain: First they tell me I can't hunt an elephant for its ivory. Now I've gotta deal with People for the Ethical Treatment of Werewolves.
- Cordelia Chase: [in car with Xander] Excuse me? We didn't come here to talk about Willow. We came here to do things I can never tell my father about because he still thinks I'm a good girl.
- Rupert Giles: Seems there were a number of other attacks by "wild dog" around town. Several animal carcasses were found mutilated.
- Willow Rosenberg: You mean like bunnies and stuff? No, don't tell me.
- Oz: Oh, don't worry. I mean, they might not look it, but bunnies can really take care of themselves.
- Willow Rosenberg: [taking heart] Yeah.
- Oz: Yeah.
- Rupert Giles: Yes, I must admit, I-I-I am intrigued. Werewolves. It's, it's one of the classics. I-I'm sure my books and I are in for a fascinating afternoon.
- Buffy Summers: You're sure it was a werewolf?
- Xander Harris: Well, let's see, um, six feet tall, claws, a big old snout in the middle of his face, like a wolf. Um, yeah, I'm stickin' with my first guess.
- Willow Rosenberg: [about Oz] Maybe it's nice. He's great. We have a lot of fun, but I want *smoochies*!
- Buffy Summers: Have you dropped any hints?
- Willow Rosenberg: I've dropped anvils.
- Rupert Giles: You see, the werewolf, uh, is such a-a potent, e-e-extreme representation of our inborn animalistic traits, that it emerges for three full consecutive nights... the full moon, and, uh, the two nights surrounding it.
- Willow Rosenberg: Quite the party animal.
- Rupert Giles: Quite, and it, uh, acts on-on pure instinct. No conscience. Predatory and-and aggressive.
- [someone knocks on his door and Oz opens it]
- Oz: Willow, what are you doing?
- Willow Rosenberg: [enters] I had this whole thing worked out. And I had it written down, uh, but then it didn't make any sense when I was reading it back.
- Oz: Willow, this is not a very good time.
- Willow Rosenberg: I mean, what am I supposed to think? First, you buy me popcorn and then you're all glad that I didn't get bit. And... you put the tag back in my shirt. But I guess none of that means anything, because instead of looking up names with me, here you are all alone in your house doing nothing by yourself.
- Oz: Willow, we'll talk about this tomorrow. I promise.
- [Oz tries to lead her out]
- Willow Rosenberg: No, damn it! We'll talk about this now! Buffy told me that sometimes what a girl makes has to be the first move and now that I'm saying this, I'm starting to think that the written version sounded pretty good. But you know what I mean.
- Oz: I know, I know. It's me. I'm, I'm goin' through some... changes.
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, welcome to the world! Things happen. Don't you think I'm going through a lot?
- Oz: Not like me.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh, what? So now you're special? You're Special Boy...
- [sees the chains]
- Willow Rosenberg: With... chains and stuff? Why do you have chains and stuff?
- [Oz feels the change starting]
- Oz: Willow, please! Get outta here!
- [Oz falls behind a couch and starts changing]
- Willow Rosenberg: Oz?... Oz, what is it?
- [Oz's fingers start to grow]
- Willow Rosenberg: What's wrong?
- [Oz jumps up as a werewolf and Willow screams]
