Season 4
Xander: "Do we hug?"
Oz: "I think we're too manly."
- The Freshman

Buffy: "So then after the scorpion, the demon opened my mouth and sucked some kind of weird light out of me. A-and the worst part? I wake up and there's Kathy, staring at me like I'm some kind of freak."
Oz: "Well, actually, the worst part, I'd have to go with the demon pouring the blood down your throat."
- Living Conditions

Willow: "And Buffy's completely being not herself. If it wasn't for this English paper I'd be there right now. Um, listening. Doing the girly best friend thing."
Oz: "Well, I can do that."
Willow: "You can?"
Oz: "Well, I'm not saying we'll braid each others hair- probably - but I can hang with her, watch for signs she's going over the edge."
- Living Conditions

Buffy: "...so then Kathy's like, 'It's share time.' And I'm like, 'Oh yeah? Share this!'"
Oz: "So, either you hit her, or you did your wacky mime routine for her."
Buffy: "Well, I didn't do either, actually. But she deserves it, don't you think?"
Oz: "Nobody deserves a mime, Buffy."
Buffy: "Hmm, Kathy does. She deserves to be locked in an invisible box and blown away by an imaginary wind and... and..."
Oz: "Forced to wear a binding unitard?"
Buffy: "Yeah, the itchy kind, it's perfect."
- Living Conditions

Buffy: Neck. Paler. The puppy. The angry puppy."
Oz: Yeah, we came to warn you about the - angry puppy."
- The Harsh Light of Day

Oz: "Okay, either I'm borrowing all your albums or I'm moving in."
Giles: "Oz there are more important things than records right now."
Oz: "More important than this one?"
Giles: "Well I suppose an argument could be made for -"
- The Harsh Light of Day

"Maybe it’s because of all the - horrific things we’ve seen, but hippos wearing tutus just don’t unnerve me the way they used to."
- Fear, Itself

Willow: "Where is supportive boyfriend guy?"
Oz: "He’s picking up your dry cleaning, but he told me to tell you that he’s afraid you’re gonna get hurt."
Willow: "Okay, Brutus. Brutus – Caesar? Betrayal – trusted friend? Back stabby?"
Oz: "Oh, I’m with you on the reference, but – I won’t lie about the fact that I worry? I know what it’s like to have power you can’t control. I mean, every time I start to wold out, I touch something –deep – dark. It’s not fun. But just know that what ever you decide, I back your play."
Buffy: "See? Concerned boy, sweet boy."
Willow: "I kinda like him - worrying anyway."
- Fear, Itself

Oz: "Veruca was right about something. The wolf is inside me all the time, and I don't know where that line is anymore between me and it. And until I figure out what that means, I shouldn't be around you... Or anybody."
Willow: "Well, that could be a problem 'cause people... Kind of a planetary epidemic."
Oz: "I'll find someplace."
Willow: "Well, how long?"
Oz: "I don't know."
Willow: "Oz... Don't you love me?"
Oz: "My whole life... I've never loved anything else."

Xander: "Oz, man. Hate to sound grandma, but... you don't call, you don't write."
Oz: "Yeah, sorry."
- New Moon Rising

Oz: "I talked to Xander, and he said you didn't have a new guy."
Willow: "No. No new... guy."
Oz: "I know what I put you through, and I'm not gonna push. But I am... a different person than when I left. And I can be what you need now. That's what I want. That's why I'm here."
- New Moon Rising

Oz: "This warlock in Romania sent me to the monks there to learn some meditation techniques. Very intense. All about keeping your inner cool."
Willow: "Good, 'cause you were such a spaz before. So that's it? You keep your cool, and no more wolfie?"
Oz: "No, there's more. I take some herbs and stuff. Some chanting. A couple of charms."
- New Moon Rising

Oz: "I shouldn't have come back now.... I just thought I'd changed."
Willow: "You have changed. You stopped the wolf from coming out. I saw it."
Oz: "But I couldn't look at you. I mean, it turns out... the one thing that brings it out in me is you... which falls under the heading of ironic in my book."
Willow: "It was my fault. I upset you."
Oz: "Well, so we're safe then, cause you'll never do that again. But... you're happy?"
Willow: "I am. I can't explain it-"
Oz: "It may be safer for both of us if you don't."
- New Moon Rising

Oz: "It was stupid to think that you'd just be... waiting."
Willow: "I was waiting. I feel like some part of me will always be waiting for you. Like if I'm old and blue-haired, and I turn the corner in Istanbul and there you are, I won't be surprised. Because... you're with me, you know?"
Oz: "I know. But now is not that time, I guess."
Willow: "No."
