• [last lines] 

  Buffy Summers : You're right... We don't know how to fight it. We don't know when it'll come. We can't run. Can't hide. Can't pretend it's not the end, 'cause it is... Something's always been there to try and destroy the world. We've beaten them back. But we're not dealing with them anymore. We're dealing with the reason they exist. Evil. The strongest. The First.

  Rupert Giles : Buffy, um, I-I know you're, you're tired...

  Buffy Summers : I'm beyond tired. I'm beyond scared. I'm standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it'll choke on me... We're not ready? *They're* not ready. They think we're gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I'm done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Well, we'll give 'em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now, 'cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on we won't just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them and cut out their hearts one by one, until The First shows itself for what it really is. And I'll kill it myself. There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil... And that's *us*... Any questions?

• Buffy : Giles, this is bad, isn't it? A new kind of bad.

  Giles : Just in time for Christmas.

  Buffy : You know, I didn't even realize it was December. Maybe when we get home, we should decorate the rubble.

• Rupert Giles : That's what's left. The mystic secrets of the Watchers. And whatever I could find on The First. Wh-When I learned what was happening, I-I, um, I stole them.

  Anya : And you blew the Council up. See, this is what happens when you're all stuffy and repressed. You overreact.

  Rupert Giles : Not... I didn't. It must have been an agent of The First, after my little burglary session. Th-Th-The knowledge contained in these files had to be protected, and there wasn't time for-for bureaucracy or debate.

• Giles : Sorry to barge in. I'm afraid we have a slight apocalypse.

• Rupert Giles : I'm afraid it falls to you, Buffy. Sorry. I mean, we-we'll do what we can, but you're the only one who has the strength to protect these girls, and the world, against what's coming.

• Rupert Giles : They are the vampires that vampires fear.
