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.
S3Choices
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.
S3The Prom
AAnya
The power of the Wish made me a righteous sword to smite the unfaithful.
Well, hey! Good luck with that. Hope it works out for you.
AAnya
You know, you can laugh, but I have witnessed a millennium of treachery and oppression from the males of the species, and I have nothing but contempt for the whole libidinous lot of them.
Then why you talking to me?
AAnya
[averting her eyes] I don't have a date for the prom.
Well, gosh! I wonder why not. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with your sales pitch?
AAnya
Men are evil... Will you go with me?
One of us is very confused, and I honestly don't know which.
...
AAnya
When I lost my powers I got stuck with this persona, and now I have all these feelings. I don't understand it. I don't like it. All I know is I really want to go to this dance and I want someone to go with me.
...
AAnya
Look, I know you find me attractive. I've seen you looking at my breasts.
Nothing personal, but when a guy does that it just means his eyes are open.
AAnya
Whatever. Look, do you wanna go with me or not?
[Xander's eyes lower for a second, then flick back up to Anya's face.]
[about the Prom] Well, at least we all have someone to go with now. Some of us are going with demons, but I think that's a valid lifestyle choice.
This is actually a new category. First time ever. I guess there were a lot of write-in ballots, and, um, well, the prom committee asked me to read this... We're not good friends. Most of us never found the time to get to know you, but that doesn't mean we haven't noticed you. We don't talk about it much, but it's no secret that Sunnydale High isn't really like other high schools. A lot of weird stuff happens here.
Crowd outbursts: Zombies! . . . Hyena people! . . . Snyder! [laughter]
But whenever there was a problem or something creepy happened, you seemed to show up and stop it. Most of the people here have been saved by you, or helped by you at one time or another. We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history... [applause from the crowd]... And we know at least part of that is because of you. So the senior class offers its thanks, and gives you, uh, this. [produces a glittering, miniature umbrella with a small plaque attached to the shaft] It's from all of us, and it has written here, "Buffy Summers, Class Protector."
[The crowd breaks into sustained applause and cheering.]
Mr. Giles! I'd like your opinion. While the last thing I would want to do is model bad behavior in front of impressionable youth, I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance--
For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just--have at it, will you, and stop fluttering about?
[Buffy and Angel are in the sewers looking for a vampire]
I always say patrol's not complete without a trip to the stinky sewers.
I'm sure I saw him come down here.
Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We could say he was this big. [Holds hands apart to indicate size]
You guys are going to have a prom. The kind of prom that everyone should have. I'm going to give you all a nice, fun, normal evening, if I have to kill every single person on the face of the earth to do it.
...Yay?
S3Graduation Day, Part One
[After Willow and Harmony have signed each other's yearbooks.]
I'm going to miss her.
Don't you hate her?
Yes, with a fiery vengeance. She picked on me for ten years. Vacuous tramp... It's like a sickness, Buffy. I'm missing everything. I miss P.E.!
AAnya
So I was wondering... maybe if you're free this weekend... we could do some... entertaining thing.
Would that be along the lines of you telling me all about the men you destroyed back in your demon days? 'Cause pencil me in!
AAnya
Well, we could do something else you like. We could, um, watch sports of some kind.
Uh, I don't know.
AAnya
Men like sports. I'm sure of it.
Yes, men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs, and that's all that you've learned?
The mayor is going to kill us all during graduation.
Oh! Are you gonna go to fifth period?
I was thinking I might skip it.
I think we could be dead in two days and you're being ironic, detachment guy.
Would it help you if I panic?
Yes! It'd be swell. Panic is a thing people can share in times of crisis. And everything's really scary now, you know? And I don't know what's going to happen. A-a-and there's all sorts of things that you're supposed to get to do after high school, and I was really looking forward to doing them, and now we're probably just going to die, and I'd like to feel that maybe you would --
[Oz kisses her.]
What are you doing?
Panicking.
[Oz kisses Willow again, they fall onto Willow's bed.]
AAnya
When I think that something could happen to you, it feels bad inside, like I might vomit.
Welcome to the world of romance.
AAnya
It's horrible. No wonder I used to get so much work.
Well, I'm sorry I give you barfy feelings.
AAnya
Come with me.
I can't.
AAnya
Why not?
I got friends on the line.
AAnya
So?
That humanity thing's still a work in progress, isn't it?
