XANDER: Are you probably noticing a theme here?

WILLOW: As in 'Vampires! Yay!'?

XANDER: That's the one.

Chantarelle: You guys are newbies. I can tell.

WILLOW: Oh, no. We come here all the time.

Chantarelle: Don't be ashamed! It's cool that you're open to it. We welcome anyone who's interested in the Lonely Ones.

WILLOW: The Lonely Ones?

ANGEL: Vampires.

XANDER: Oh! We usually call them the nasty, pointy, bitey ones.

Chantarelle: So many people have that misconception. But they who walk with the night are not interested in harming anyone. They are creatures above us. Exalted!

ANGEL: You're a fool.

Chantarelle: You don't have to be so confrontational about it. Other viewpoints than yours may be valid, you know. (goes away)

WILLOW: Nice meeting you.

XANDER: You really are a people person.

WILLOW: Now nobody's gonna talk to us.

ANGEL: I've seen enough. I've seen this type before. I mean, they're children making up bedtime stories of friendly vampires to comfort themselves in the dark.

WILLOW: Is that so bad? I mean, the dark can get pretty dark. Sometimes you need a story.

ANGEL: These people don't know anything about vampires. What they are, how they live, how they dress... (sees someone dressed exactly like him)

XANDER: You know, I love a good diatribe. But I'm still curious why Ford, the bestest friend of the Slayer, is hanging with a bunch of vampire wannabes.

WILLOW: Something's up with him, you're right about that.
