[Buffy and Angel are hunting vampires in a cemetery at night.]
So this is our future? This is how we're going to spend our nights when I'm fifty and you're... the same age you are now?
[A vampire growls behind them.]
Let's just get you to fifty.
Liking that plan.
Well, I don't think I can talk any slower, Wes. I want to leave.
What? Now?
No, not now. After I graduate, you know, college?
But you're a Slayer.
Yeah. I'm also a person. You can't just define me by my slayer-ness. That's... something-ism.
Looks like a job for Wiccan girl. What do you say, Will? Big-time danger.
Hey, I eat danger for breakfast.
But oddly enough, she panics in the face of breakfast foods.
Give me the speech again, please. "Faith, we're still your friends. We can help you. It's not too late."
It's way too late. You know, it didn't have to be this way. But you made your choice. I know you had a tough life. I know that some people think you had a lot of bad breaks. Well, boo hoo! Poor you! You know, you had a lot more in your life than some people. I mean, you had friends in your life like Buffy. Now you have no one. You were a slayer and now you're nothing. You're just a big, selfish, worthless waste.
[Faith knocks Willow to the ground.]
You hurt me, I hurt you. I'm just a little more efficient.
[stands up] Aw, and here I just thought you didn't have a comeback.
I can't let you stay because of me.
Actually, this isn't about you. Although I'm fond, don't get me wrong, of you. The other night, you know, being captured and all, facing off with Faith, things just kinda got clear. I mean, you've been fighting evil here for three years, and I've helped some, and now we're supposed to decide what we want to do with our lives. And I just realized that's what I want to do. Fight evil, help people. I mean, I-I think it's worth doing. And I don't think you do it because you have to. It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in.
I kind of love you.
And, besides, I have a shot at being a bad-ass Wicca, and what better place to learn?
I feel the need for more sugar than the human body can handle.
Mochas?
Yes please! [the two get up and walk away] It's weird. You look at something and you think you know exactly what you're seeing, and then you find out it's something else entirely.
Neat, huh?
Sometimes it is.
