Buffy : "Peanut butter,preferably crunchy!"
Angel : "I got it." Buffy : "The perfect yum.
Angel feeds her a spoon of ice cream.
Buffy : Mmm, this is a dream. You're human for like a minute and already there is Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-chip in the fridge."
Angel: "God, I love food."
Buffy : "Food is good."
They kiss.
Buffy: "Oh, I'm so sleepy, - but I still want.."
Angel: "What? You couldn't possibly..Not that I wouldn't.."
Buffy: "No, no. I'm spent. Pleasantly numb even. You?"
Angel: "For now."
Buffy: "No, I - want to stay awake - so this day can keep happening."
Angel: "Sleep. We'll make another one like it tomorrow."
Buffy: "Angel? This is the first time I ever really felt this way."
Angel: "What way?"
Buffy: "Just like I've always wanted to. Like a normal girl, falling asleep in the arms of her normal boyfriend. It's perfect."
Angel kisses the top of her head as she falls asleep.
Angel: You still haven't told me what you wanted for your birthday.
Buffy: (smiles) Surprise me.
Angel: (smiles) Okay. I will.
They kiss.
Buffy: This is nice. I like seeing you first thing in the morning.
Angel: It's bedtime for me.
Buffy: Well, then I like seeing you at bedtime. Um... Um, heh... Y-you know what I mean.
Angel: I think so. What do you mean?
Buffy: I like seeing you. The part at the end of the night where we say good-bye...
It's getting harder.
Angel: Yeah. It is...
Buffy is napping in Angel's bed.
Angel is watching her sleep.
He smiles at her as she wakes.
Buffy: (smiles) What? Do I have funny bed hair or something?
Angel: Or something?
Buffy: I guess we got a little carried away with the whole post-slayage nap thing.
(feels her hair)
Ohhh, not good. (sits up)
Angel: Where you going?
Buffy: To go kill a cat on my head.
Angel: No mirrors.
Buffy: You know, this place really isn't girl-friendly. No mirrors, no natural light.
Angel: I think you look perfect.
Buffy: Oh yeah, I really like... Okay!
Buffy: Love makes you do the wacky.
Angel: What?
Buffy: Crazy stuff.
Angel: Oh. Crazy, like a two-hundred-and-forty-one-year-old being jealous of a high school junior?
Buffy: Are you fessing up?
Angel: I've thought about it. Maybe it bothers me a little.
Buffy: I don't love Xander.
Angel: Yeah, but he's in your life. He gets to be there when I can't. Take your classes, eat your meals, ear your jokes and complaints. He gets to see you in the sunlight.
Buffy: I don't look that good
in direct light.
Angel: It'll be morning soon.
Buffy: I should probably go. I could walk you home.
They look at each other for a long moment.
Finally Angel begins to walk, and Buffy accompanies him, her hand in his.
Angel: (quietly) I saw you before you became the Slayer.
Buffy: (confused) What?
Angel: I watched you, and I saw you called. It was a bright afternoon
out in front of your school. You walked down the steps...and... and I loved you.
Buffy: Why?
Angel: 'Cause I could see your heart.
(gets up)
You held it before you for everyone to see.
(walks to her)
And I worried that it would be bruised or torn. And more than anything in my life I wanted to keep it safe... to warm it with my own.
Buffy looks up into his eyes for a long moment, then leans into him, and they embrace, holding each other close.
Buffy: That's beautiful.
Buffy is sitting on the table and Willow is sitting in a chair.
Buffy: Good. She really came through in the end. She had a lot to deal with, but she did it. She got it behind her.
Giles: I'm glad to hear it.
Buffy looks down at the table sadly and quietly for a long moment.
Buffy: Angel was cured.
Giles: (looks up) I'm sorry?
Buffy: When I killed him, Angel was cured.
(to Willow) Your spell worked at the last minute, Will. I was about to
take him out, and, um... something went through him... and he was Angel again.
He-he didn't remember anything that he'd done. He just held me. Um, but i-it was...it was too late, and I, I had to.
So I, I told him that I loved him...
and I kissed him...
and I killed him.
