RILEY: Why would Jonathan have the same mark as the monster?

BUFFY: I don't know. But he's definitely keeping..

JONATHAN: (standing in doorway) Is this a private conversation... or can Mr. July sit in?

BUFFY: Jonathan!

ANYA: (rapidly) Hi. Buffy was just saying how you had a monster cut up Willow's friend and..

JONATHAN: Buffy?

BUFFY: No! It's just ... the mark. You said it was safe.. and it wasn't. I'm sorry.. I just don't understand.

JONATHAN: Then I'll explain.

JONATHAN: Buffy is right.

XANDER: No!

JONATHAN: I do have a history with the creature. The monster. The problem is every time I face it my mind becomes sort of confused. There's some kind of power it possesses.

XANDER: Oh!!! oh! He's like your kryptonite.

JONATHAN: Maybe. I just knows it takes all my energy to try and fight the confusion. That's why I had his mark tattooed on me so that I wouldn't underestimate it next time.

RILEY: This does explain everything.

XANDER: I knew you wouldn't do anything on purpose.

WILLOW: Me too! And that whole alternate universe thing was too freaky!

BUFFY: Jonathan let's go after the monster. Right now, you and me.

JONATHAN: I'm sure it's left town by now. That's been its pattern.

BUFFY: We can try.

JONATHAN: Sure. Let's do that.

ANYA: Bye Jonathan.

JONATHAN: Goodbye.
