Buffy Summers: The funeral was... It was brutal. But it's tomorrow that I'm worried about.
Angel: What's tomorrow?
Buffy Summers: That's exactly what I don't know. Up until now, I've had a road map, things to do every minute, having to do with mom.
Angel: Tomorrow, the stuff of everyday living resumes.
Buffy Summers: And everybody expects me to know how to do it, because I'm "so strong."
Angel: You just need some time. I'm sure everybody understands that.
Buffy Summers: Time's not the issue. I can stick wood in vampires, but Mom was the strong one in real life. She always knew how to make things better, just what to say.
Angel: Yeah. You'll find your way. I mean, not all at once, but in...
Buffy Summers: I don't know. I keep thinking about it... when I found her. If I had just gotten there ten minutes earlier...
Angel: You said they told you it wouldn't have mad a difference.
Buffy Summers: They said "probably" it wouldn't have made a difference. The exact thing they say was "probably." I haven't told that to anyone.
Angel: Doesn't make it your fault. Couldn't have done anything different.
Buffy Summers: [sighs] I didn't even *start* CPR until they told me. I fell apart. That's how good I am at being a grown-up.
Angel: Buffy...
Buffy Summers: And it'd be okay if it was just me I had to worry about... but Dawn...
Angel: Look, it's okay. I know you don't feel like it now, but you are strong, Buffy. You're gonna figure this out... and you have people to help you. You don't have to do this alone.
Buffy Summers: It's gonna be light soon...
Angel: I can stay in town as long as you want me.
Buffy Summers: How's forever? Does forever work for you...? That's a bad idea. I'm seriously needy right now.
Angel: Let me worry about the neediness. I can handle it.
[they start to kiss then with more passion but finally stop]
Buffy Summers: I told you... You'd better go.
Angel: [sighs] I'm sorry.
Buffy Summers: No... I'm *so* grateful that you came, Angel. I didn't think I was gonna be able to make it through the night...
Angel: Well, we still have a few more minutes until I have to go.
Buffy Summers: Good...
[leans on his chest]
Buffy Summers: Good.
