(Wes opens the door to Lilah, who was visibly anxious about his safety.)

LILAH: OK. (smiles) I was just checking.

WESLEY: I'm alive.

LILAH: (concerned) Not by much from the looks of it. (hugs him) I left you a couple hundred messages last night. Don't feel obligated to return any of them.

WESLEY: Then you're all right.

LILAH: Fine. Slept at Wolfram and Hart. FYI, safest place to be in case of an apocalypse. You on the other hand� Hmm. I bet I could make you feel better. (leans in to kiss him, but he turns and walks away) You know, it's weird. Rain of fire, whole city burning�why do I feel a chill?

WESLEY: I can't do this anymore.

LILAH: Yeah, yeah, I've heard that a million times, cowboy. We both know how this song ends. You, me, broken furniture...

WESLEY: It's over, Lilah.

LILAH: You're serious.

WESLEY: After what I saw last night, I believe a day of reckoning has arrived.

LILAH: And you just reckon you'll toss in with the good guys?

WESLEY: I'm choosing a side.

LILAH: And the girl of your dreams just happens to be on it. Hmm. What are the odds?

WESLEY: This isn't about Fred. Or anyone else, for that matter. It's about right and wrong.

LILAH: And you have such a clear grip on those concepts.

WESLEY: I've made mistakes.

LILAH: You're making a big one now. (walks up to him, puts her arms around his neck) I could wear the glasses again.

WESLEY: Don't embarrass yourself. (she pulls away) There is a line, Lilah. Black and white, good and evil.

LILAH: Funny thing about black and white� you mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray. And I don't see your Texas-gal-pal wearing that color. Come to think of it, she prefers black.
