Quotes from After Life
Buffy: How long was I gone?
Spike: 147 days yesterday... 148 today. Except today doesn't count, does it? How long was it for you, where you were?
Buffy: Longer.
Buffy: Tired.
Anya: Yeah, jet lag from hell has gotta be, y'know, jet lag from hell.
Spike: That's the thing about magic, there's always consequences. Always!
Xander: Very bad. Very very very bad. Bad!
Dawn: Large and small bone eaters? If we get to pick I say we go with the small bone eaters.
Anya: Well, that just means they prefer to eat things with small bones, like you.
Anya: I found one of those 24-hour places for coffee. You remember that book store? Well, they became one of those books and coffee places, and now they're just coffee. It's like evolution only without the getting better part.
Anya: Evil things have plans. They have things to do.
Spike: It's hard to get a good night's death around here.
Spike to Buffy: I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but after that. Every night after that. I see it all again, I do something different, faster, more clever. Dozens of times, lots of different ways. Every night I save you.
Buffy: You know what they say: those of us who fail history are doomed to repeat it in summer school.
Buffy: I was happy. Wherever I was, I was happy. At peace. I knew that everyone I cared about was all right... I knew it. Time didn't mean anything, nothing had form, but I was still me, y'know. And I was warm. And I was loved. And I was finished, complete. I don't understand theology or dimensions, or any of it, really, but I think I was in heaven... and now I'm not. I was torn out of there... pulled out... by my friends. Everything here is hard... and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch... this is hell. Just getting through the next moment, and the one after that... knowing what I've lost. They can never know. Never.
