BUFFY: She makes me crazy.

RILEY: That's ... kinda the word I was searching for.

BUFFY: What? She shouldn't be going over there.

RILEY: Yeah, a lot of young people nowadays are experimenting with shortness. Gotta nip that in the bud.

BUFFY: She ... can't be running out whenever she'd like.

RILEY: It's more than that.

BUFFY: What do you mean?

RILEY: You tell me.

BUFFY: We all have to be careful. This ... demon chick is ... exciting and new. I don't know what I'm up against.

RILEY: If we're in trouble here I could contact Graham, maybe get the government boys on it-

BUFFY: No! No, I-I-I don't want them anywhere near this.

RILEY: (annoyed) Just a suggestion.

BUFFY: Look, the fewer people that are involved, the safer I will feel.

RILEY: Every time I think I'm getting close to you ... (shakes head) I gotta take off.

BUFFY: Wait! What?

RILEY: I'll call you later.

BUFFY: Riley! I *want* you to help. I'm not-

RILEY: Yeah. Know you got a lot on your mind. You decide you wanna let me in on any of it, let me know. I'll come running.
