Quotes 

• Spike : [as Randy]  I must be a noble vampire. A good guy, on a mission of redemption... I help the helpless. I'm a vampire with a soul.

  Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  A vampire with a soul? Oh, my God. How lame is that?

• [first lines] 

  Spike : Can we talk?

  Buffy Summers : Vocal cord-wise? Yes. With each other? No.

• Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  To slay someone? A *female* someone. Who do those jerks think they are?

  Anya : Bloodsuckers. They kill by sucking blood. Take it easy, Joan.

• Buffy Summers : But here, look.

  [points to Dawn's necklace] 

  Buffy Summers : You're Dawn.

  Dawn Summers : Or "Umad."

• Spike : Take it easy. You'll get your kittens.

  Teeth : Oh, I trust you, Mister Spike.

  Buffy : Oh, God. What is it with you guys? Why kittens? Why can't you just use *money* like everybody else?

• Spike : [as Randy]  I'm a hero, really. I mean, to be cast such an ugly lot in life and then to rise above it, to seek out better, nobler things. It's inspirational, isn't it? And the two of us, natural enemies thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness. A lot of trust. No thought of me biting you. No thought of you staking me.

  Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  Depends on how long you keep on yapping.

• Dawn Summers : So, you don't have a name?

  Buffy Summers : Of course I do. I-I just don't happen to know it.

  Dawn Summers : You want me to name you?

  Buffy Summers : Oh, that's sweet, but I-I think I can name myself. I'll name me... Joan.

  Dawn Summers : Ugh.

  Buffy Summers : What? Did you just "ugh" my name?

  Dawn Summers : No. I just... I mean it's so blah. Joan?

  Buffy Summers : I like it. I feel like a Joan.

• Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  Ready, Randy?

  Spike : [as Randy]  Ready, Joan.

• [not knowing who she is, Buffy has named herself Joan] 

  Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  I think I know why Joan's the boss... I'm like a superhero or something.

• [a vampire attacks Spike while the gang has memory loss] 

  Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  Hey! Stay away from Randy!

  [she stakes the vampire attacking Spike/Randy and he dusts. the Scoobies and Buffy watch in complete wide-eyed amazement] 

  Dawn Summers : Whoa!

  Willow Rosenberg : What did you just do?

  Buffy Summers : [as Joan]  Uh... I... I don't know.

  [slow smile] 

  Buffy Summers : But it was *cool*.

• Buffy Summers : Did you guys see that?

  Spike : [as Randy]  Vampires!

  Tara Maclay : Maybe it's Halloween.

  Dawn Summers : It doesn't feel like Halloween.

  Xander Harris : Even if it is, those guys are definitely not kids, and those are definitely not costumes. Randy's right. Looks like we have vampires.
