Xander: All right, where is he? Where's the creep who turned me 
into a spider-eating man-bitch? 
Buffy: He's gone. 
Xander: Dammit. You know what? I'm sick of this. I'm tired of 
being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As 
of this moment, it's over. I'm through being everybody's 
butt-monkey! 
Buffy: Check. No more butt-monkey.
