BUFFY: I don't get it. Why would anybody wanna make a girl?

XANDER: You mean when there's so many pre-made ones just laying around? The things we do for love.

BUFFY: Love has nothing to do with this.

XANDER: Maybe not, but I'll tell you this: people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream. What they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive.

WILLOW: And for Eric the unattainable would include everyone. That's alive.

BUFFY: Uh, Eric's sick enough to do something like this, but what about Chris? He seems like a human person.

WILLOW: I dunno. That thing with his brother was really hard on him. And he talked about death a lot. Maybe he just wanted to get one-up on it.

BUFFY: But it's not doable. I mean, making someone from scraps, actually making them live.

WILLOW: If it is, my science project's definitely coming in second this year.

XANDER: (spots Giles) And speaking of love...

WILLOW: We were talking about the re-animation of dead tissue.

XANDER: Do I deconstruct your segues?
