Look, we don't want trouble, you don't want trouble.
DDemon
Actually we do want trouble. We're Demons. We're pretty much all about trouble.
S6Bargaining, Part Two
Dawnie, I had to.
Buffy? Buffy. Buffy. How-- Is it you? I mean, really? What are you-- No! Don't! Don't jump, Buffy. Don't move! Just walk to me. Please! Please? I'm your sister, Dawn. We were up here together, and then, you went away. And you don't want to do that again. I don't know how you're back, but you are, and please, just stay still. [screams] Or-or move, but-but towards me, because the tower was built by crazy people and I don't think it's holding up very well. Talk to me. Say something!
Is this hell?
What?
Is this hell?
No! Buffy, no! You're here... with me. Whatever happened to you, whatever you've been through, it's-it's over now. You're-- [screams] We have to get off of this tower!
It was so clear... on this spot. I remember how... shiny... and clear everything was. But, now, now--
Buffy, please listen to me. You told me I had to be strong. And I've tried. But it's been so hard without you. I'm sorry. I promise I'll do better. I will... if you're with me. Stay with me, please! I need you to live. Live for-- [screams] Buffy!
Dawn.
Buffy!
Dawn!
[screams] Buffy? Buffy. You're-- You're-- You're really here. You're alive, and you're home. You're home.
S6After Life
How long was I gone?
Hundred forty-seven days yesterday. Hundred and forty-eight today. 'Cept today doesn't count, does it? [Pause] How long was it where you were?
...Longer.
[Willow has called Giles to tell him about Buffy's resurrection.]
Did you get through to London?
Yeah. He's gonna head back as soon as he can. I'm not sure, like maybe a couple days.
How did he take it?
Um, I'm not sure. I mean... glad, but kinda weirded out? Which I get, you know. Lots of "Dear Lords". And I think I actually heard him clean his glasses.
[to Buffy] Uh ... I do remember what I said. The promise. To protect her. If I had done that ... even if I didn't make it ... you wouldn't have had to jump. But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but ... after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again ... do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways ... Every night I'd save you.
I was going to go inside but I overheard you and the superfriends having a special moment and I came over a bit queasy. Say, aren't you leaving a hole in the middle of some soggy group hug?
I just wanted a little time alone.
Oh, uh... Right then. [goes to leave]
It's okay, I can be alone with you here.
Well, I haven't been to a hell dimension just of late, but I do know a thing or two about torment.
[looking down] I was happy.
[Spike stares at her, confused and shocked]
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, you know? And I was warm ... and I was loved ... and I was finished. Complete. I don't understand about theology or dimensions, or ... any of it, really ... but I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. [near tears] 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... [pause] They can never know. Never.
[of Buffy's bloodied hands] Um, I was gonna fix 'em... I don't know how they got like that.
I do. Clawed her way out of a coffin, that's how. Isn't that right?
Yeah... That's what I had to do.
I've done it myself.
S6Flooded
OK, so you're telling me I'm broke?
Not yet, but-
Money's definitely becoming an issue.
As in you're being almost out of it.
But I haven't spent any money! I was all... dead and frugal.
So what do we do?
Easy, we burn the house to the ground and collect the insurance. Plus, fire? Pretty. [The Scoobies look at Buffy in horror] You guys, I'm kidding. OK, it's bills, it's money, it's pieces of paper sent by bureaucrats that we've never even met. It's not like it's the end of the world... which is too bad, you know, 'cause that, I'm really good at.
Oh, come on, Tara. I am so old enough to do research. Do you really think I'm not mature enough?
I think you're very mature for your age ... but you're still only fifteen.
Right. Fifteen, as in teenager. You know, if you don't let me look at the pictures, I'm gonna learn everything I know about demons on the street.
[sighs and hands Dawn a book] Knock yourself out.
Thank you. See? No biggie. I can totally handle it.
[Dawn opens the book to the first page]
That's a weird place for a horn... [stares at the page, then closes the book, shaken] That's not a horn.
...
[seeing Dawn doing research] You do research now? Would you like a cappuccino and a pack of cigarettes to go with that?
It's, uh, you're...
A miracle.
Yes. But then, I always thought so.
MFM'Fashnik
Which one of you is the leader?
WJWarren, Jonathan, Andrew
I am.
MFM'Fashnik
I will kill the leader.
WJWarren, Jonathan, Andrew
[pointing at one another] He is.
MFM'Fashnik
I will kill you all.
Wait! Uh, no fair. It's not our fault the Slayer was there. We said we'd pay you, and we're gonna.
[dropping to his knees] Yes! Truly, Lord Jonathan is the wisest of us all.
[also kneeling] Uh, yeah. Long live our noble lord and master.
You guys suck.
MFM'Fashnik
[grabs Jonathan by the throat] You can't pay me with paper, tiny king. You pitted me against the Slayer. For that, I must kill you.
[Warren and Andrew snicker at each other]
MFM'Fashnik
Then I will suck dry your bones and use them to beat your subjects to death.
[Warren and Andrew are suddenly alarmed]
Well, I know I'm back in America now. I've been knocked unconscious.
...
Who's calling me? Everybody I know lives here.
[Buffy leaves]
I bet it's creditors. The hounding's begun. I read about it. So, you think we'll starve?
I very much doubt it.
No chance I'd have to quit school to work assembling cheap toys in a poorly ventilated sweatshop?
Poorly ventilated... what have you been reading?
You're a very stupid girl.
What? Giles-
Do you have any idea what you've done? The forces you've harnessed, the lines you've crossed?
I thought you'd be...impressed, or, or something.
Oh, don't worry, you've...made a very deep impression. Of everyone here...you were the one I trusted most to respect the forces of nature.
Are you saying you don't trust me?
Think what you've done to Buffy.
I brought her back!
At incredible risk!
Risk? Of what? Making her deader?!
Of killing us all. Unleashing hell on Earth, I mean, shall I go on?
No! Giles, I did what I had to do. I did what nobody else could do.
Oh, there are others in this world who can do what you did. You just don't want to meet them.
No, probably not, but...well, they're the bad guys. I'm not a bad guy. [upset] I brought Buffy back into this world, a-and maybe the word you should be looking for is "congratulations."
Having Buffy back in the world makes me feel...indescribably wonderful, but I wouldn't congratulate you if you jumped off a cliff and happened to survive.
That's not what I did, Giles.
You were lucky.
I wasn't lucky. I was amazing. And how would you know? You weren't even there.
If I had been, I'd have bloody well stopped you. The magicks you channeled are more ferocious and primal than anything you can hope to understand, [even more angry] and you are lucky to be alive, you rank, arrogant amateur!!
This is gonna take forever, isn't it?
AAnya
Not forever. Just a very long time. Here it is. Your first approximation of your spanking new debt.
I've trashed this house so many times. How did Mom pay for this?
For starters, she saved money with this crappy-ass coffee table.
AAnya
Well, there's always that charging option.
No. I will definitely... probably not be doing that.
Well, I know I'm back in America now. I've been knocked unconscious. Thank you.
Aw. Poor, lumpy Giles.
What do you think the demon wanted, anyway? Uh, aside from costing you a bundle?
Don't know. Now he's way too dead to answer that question. I wish I know who hired him.
Ooh, I could do a locator spell. Or not.
That's it. It's been four hours. I'm calling it, people. This coffee table, it's gone. Damn it!
Also, this lamp's in critical condition.
Well, uh, let's take these thing out to the trash and give 'em a decent throwin' out.
Buffy.
I don't think I can do this.
Yes, you can. Your mother dealt with this sort of thing all the time. She took one crisis at a time, without the aid of any superpowers... and got through it all, so can you.
You sure?
I'm positive.
Who's calling me? Everybody I know lives here. I'll be back.
I bet it's creditors. The hounding's begun. I read about it. So, you think we'll starve?
I very much doubt it.
No chance I'd have to quit school to work assembling cheap toys in a poorly ventilated sweatshop?
Poorly ventilated... what have you been reading? Buffy, what is it?
Angel.
Is he in trouble?
He knows that I'm-- He-he needs to see me. I have to see him.
Well, of course. You-you'll leave for L.A. tomorrow.
Not L.A. An-and not here. Somewhere in the middle. There's a place.
I see. Well, we should get these, uh, bills and things out of the way before--
I have to go now. Oh. Um... Thanks for taking care of this for me.
