| Buffy: "Get off." |
| Simone: "I would have turned a lot sooner. Just took me too long to find a vampire whose blood had more kick than that weak sauce upstairs." |
| Xander: "You used me. You said we could undo all this." |
| Simone: "Did you really think I was going to save...who was it? You can't even remember who you came down here to save can you?" |
| Xander: "Yes. I. Can." |
| Simone: "You can't win." |
| Buffy: "I don't need to win. I just need to keep you busy while my friends do the winning for me." |
| Illyria: "You must live." |
| Willow: "Gotta say, not what I expected from someone with the last name 'The Merciless'." |
| Illyria: "It is not what I expected either. Now go." |
