Buffy the Vampire Slayer would break down this door.
And Buffy the counselor?
Waits.
You think I want this? You think I don't care? [cries] Believe me, I want to... be here, do things. I want to graduate from high school, and I want to go to the stupid winter formal... I have this friend, and it would be fun to go with him. Just to dance and hear lame music to wear a silly dress and laugh and stuff... I'd like to go. There's a lot of stuff I'd like to do. I'd love to ice skate at Rockefeller Center. And I'd love to see my cousins grow up and see how they turn out 'cause they're really mean and I think they're gonna be fat. I'd love to backpack across the country or, I don't know, fall in love, but I won't. I just never will.
Willow. How was her mom?
Okay. As okay as-- She told me their family had a history of heart irregularities. But she never told Cassie.
Cassie didn't know? Then it was fate?
Then she was going to die no matter what, wasn't she? It didn't matter what you did.
She just knew. She was special. I failed her.
Uh-uh. No. You didn't 'cause you tried. You listened and you tried. She died 'cause of her heart, not 'cause of you. She was my friend 'cause of you. I guess sometimes you can't help. [sniffles]
So what then? What do you do when you know that? When you know that maybe you can't help?
Spike, this basement is killing you. This is the Hellmouth. There is something bad down here, possibly everything bad.
Spike [laughs]: Can't hear you. Can't hear you.
You have a soul? Fine. Show me.
Scream "Montresor" all you like, pet.
Get up and get out of this basement.
I don't have anywhere else to go.
I uh, I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't talk to me. Except to say that "your questions are irksome," or "perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river."
[Buffy, Xander and Willow argue about whether to kill the re-demonized Anya.]
You think we haven't seen all this before? The part where you just cut us all out. Just step away from everything human and act like you're the law. If you knew what I felt -
I killed Angel!! Do you even remember that?! I would have given up everything I had to be with... I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life! And I put a sword through his heart because I had to.
And that all worked out OK.
Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you! Do you remember giving me Willow's message? "Kick his ass."
Willow [shocked]: I never said that!
This is different.
It is always different! It's always complicated. And at some point, someone has to draw the line and that is always going to be me! You get down on me for cutting myself off but in the end, the Slayer is always cut off. There's no mystical guidebook, no all-knowing council. Human rules don't apply. There's only me. I am the law.
There has to be another way.
Then please find it.
[Xander walks out the front door. Buffy turns to Willow, silently asking her help to dispatch Anya.]
I can't. I'm sorry. [Buffy grabs a sword and heads outside]
You don't understand. This isn't an intervention. Buffy's coming to kill you.
She's coming to try.
Xander [exasperated]: Did everybody have their Crazy Flakes today? You guys are friends! How could you talk like this?
I have a job to do. And so does Buffy. Xander, you've always seen what you wanted to but you knew, sooner or later, it would come to this.
[surveying the fraternity boys Anya killed] Oh, breathtaking! It's like somebody slaughtered an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog.
My advice to you is do exactly what everyone else does, all the time.
Got it.
Do what everyone else does, wear what everyone else wears, say what everyone else says.
Okay.
People may say something to you, you don't understand. Just don't be afraid to keep your mouth shut and pretend like you know what they're saying.
You know, Dawn, I've been to college before.
People may say something like, "My protein window closes in an hour." Just nod and smile. "Mm-hmm." Turns out it has something to do with fitness.
Have you talked to her lately?
Not since that night with the Gnarl demon. And that wasn't exactly the kind of "How have you been?" kind of talking. More the "pierce its eye with something sharp" kind of talking. I'm thinking I should call her.
I just don't want you to get your hopes up.
"Hopes?" [scoffs] Oh, no, no, no, no, no. There are no hopes. Anya and I are done. I love being single. I'm a strong, successful male who's giddy at the thought, of all the women I will no doubt be dating in the near future.
Strong, successful males say "giddy"?
I just worry about her, that's all.
Anya?
Yeah. She seems so sad.
She should try acting like everybody else more.
Apparently, it's what all the kids are doin' nowadays.
Well, I'm not sure I get the sad vibe, but there's definitely a vengeance vibe worth worrying about.
Oh, that? No, no. I don't worry about that. She was hurt, and she just turned back to what she knew, when I, you know. But that's not her anymore.
I hope you're right.
Well, she turned that worm guy back before any real damage happened, right? It'll just take some time. I really think she's coming around.
Xander, you can't help me. I'm not even sure there's a me to help.
So, do you have plans later or are you just going to go down to the docks, wait for the fleet to come in?
[shocked] What?
[furious] Where do I start with the bad? First, you told me you were going to the library. Second, you do not go out on a date without informing me first. Third... Anna Nicole Smith thinks you look tacky!
[Xander finds Buffy straddling R.J. in the counseling office.]
Hey guy, it's called knocking.
I'm sorry, it's just checkout time was an hour ago. We were hoping to make up the bed. And also, it's a classroom, you chowderhead! [to Buffy] Now get off the boy, Buffy, we're going home.
Damn love spell! I have tried every anti-love spell spell I can find.
Even if you found the right one, guy would probably just do an anti-anti-love-spell spell... spell.
What?
[The women are threatening one another with what they're each going to do to win R.J.'s love]
Willow, you're a gay woman! [Willow makes a face conveying "And?"] And he... isn't?!
This isn't about his physical presence! It's about his heart.
His physical presence has a penis!
I can work around it!
