come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Sam to Buffy: took Riley a year to get over you from As You Were (Season 6) | Next Clip in Episode |
SAM: Thanks for letting me tag along.
BUFFY: No problem.
SAM: Maybe not for you. I gotta tell you, Buffy, I'm a little bit intimidated. I mean, patrolling with the real live Slayer, you're like ... Santa Claus, or Buddha, or something.
BUFFY: Fat and jolly?
SAM: Legendary. And it's not just slayer status I'm talking about. It's you.
BUFFY: Riley talks about me?
SAM: He didn't say anything for a long time, but I could tell. He was ripped up inside.
BUFFY: Good thing he has you.
SAM: More like miraculous. I went down to Central America with the Peace Corps. One night, my entire infirmary got slaughtered by... I didn't know what they were. I got saved, quit the Corps, joined the squad. My first firefight, I met Riley. We started talking, you know, first about tactics, missions, stuff like that. And then about you.
BUFFY: He thinks ... I let him go.
SAM: Do you wish you hadn't?
BUFFY: I wish things were different. I-I'm not trying to ... I don't ... uh, you know.
SAM: I didn't mean to put you on the spot, Buffy. There's no bad guys in this one. The only thing that could ... help Riley work it out was time. Lots of time. Took him a year to get over you.
BUFFY: I'm glad he's over me.
SAM: So, you seeing anyone new? Someone special?
BUFFY: You know, I just take my time, you know, I don't ... I don't wanna jump right into anything, don't wanna ... you know ... be defined by who I'm with.
SAM: Yeah, better no guy than the wrong guy, that's for sure.
BUFFY: (suddenly) Sam. You know what? Um, I think we should split up.
SAM: (upset) Oh, I'm slowing you down. I knew I would, this was just selfish of me.
BUFFY: No, it's not, uh ... there's this guy, uh, an informant, but he's twitchy. I show up with company, and, and we get nothing.
SAM: Cool. I'm guessing Finn needs me about now. He's probably off somewhere gettin' his ass kicked. (grinning) You know how wild he gets. Don't worry about Rye and me, we're good.
BUFFY: (to herself) I noticed.
