BUFFY: Training. Slaying. All of it. It's just ... I mean ... I can beat up the demons until the cows come home. And then I can beat up the cows ... but I'm not sure I like what it's doing to me.

ScruffyXander: Don't be scared, Will. Just listen. It's me, Xander. And I can prove it.
Willow: Um ... okay.
ScruffyXander: Let's see. Stuff only you and me know. Okay! On my seventh birthday ... I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real fire trucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me. For a while last year, I thought I was lactose-intolerant, but it was just some bad pie. Oh! Every Christmas, we watch Charlie pown together, and I do the Snoopy dance.
Willow: Xander ... stop dancing.
ScruffyXander: Aha! You called me Xander!
Willow: Xander, shut up! Why wouldn't I think you were Xander?
ScruffyXander: Oh. Huh.
