Shared with you
- Buffy Summers: [to Caleb] Okay. How many times do I have to kill you? Ballpark figure?
- Xander Harris: So, did you see?
- Andrew Wells: I-I was scared. I'm sorry.
- Xander Harris: Did you see what happened? I mean, was she...
- Andrew Wells: She was incredible. She died saving my life.
- Xander Harris: That's my girl. Always doin' the stupid thing.
- Buffy Summers: So, what do you guys wanna do tomorrow?
- Willow Rosenberg: Nothing strenuous.
- Xander Harris: Well, mini-golf is always the first thing that comes to mind.
- Rupert Giles: I think we can do better than that.
- Buffy Summers: I was thinking about shopping, as per usual.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh, there's an "Arden B" in the new mall.
- Xander Harris: Oh, good. I could use a few items.
- Rupert Giles: Well, now aren't we gonna discuss this? Save the world or go to the mall?
- Buffy Summers: I'm having a wicked shoe craving.
- Xander Harris: Aren't you on the patch?
- Willow Rosenberg: Those never work.
- Buffy Summers: Never.
- Rupert Giles: And here I am, invisible to the eye. Not having any vote.
- Xander Harris: See, I need a new look. It's this whole eye patch thing.
- Buffy Summers: Oh! You could go with full black secret-agent look.
- Willow Rosenberg: Or the puffy shirt, pirate slash...
- Rupert Giles: The Earth is *definitely* doomed.
- Buffy Summers: Okay. I'm cookie dough... I'm not done baking. I'm not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I'm gonna turn out to be. I make it through this, and the next thing, and the next thing, and maybe one day, I turn around and realize I'm ready. I'm cookies. And then, you know, if I want someone to eat m- or enjoy warm, delicious, cookie me, then... that's fine. That'll be then... when I'm done.
- Angel: Any thoughts on who might enjoy... Do I have to go with the cookie analogy?
- Buffy Summers: I'm not really thinking that far ahead. That's kind of the point.
- Angel: I'll go start working on the second front. Make sure I don't have to use it.
- [starts to leave]
- Buffy Summers: Angel... I do... sometimes think that far ahead.
- Angel: Sometimes is something.
- Buffy Summers: Be a long time coming. Years, if ever.
- Angel: I ain't gettin' any older.
- Buffy Summers: So here's the part where you make a choice. What if you could have that power? Now? In every generation, one Slayer is born, because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. This woman...
- [points to Willow]
- Buffy Summers: is more powerful than all of them combined.
- Willow Rosenberg: Mmm.
- Buffy Summers: So I say we change the rule. I say my power, should be *our* power... Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of this scythe to change our destiny. From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, *will* be a Slayer. Every girl who *could* have the power, *will* have the power. Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers. Every one of us. Make your choice... Are you ready to be strong?
- Spike: So, where's tall, dark, and forehead?
- Buffy Summers: Let me guess... You can smell him?
- Spike: Yeah. That, and I also used my enhanced vampire eyeballs to watch you *kissing* him.
- Buffy Summers: It was... a hello
- Spike: Most people don't use their tongues to say hello- Or I guess they do, but...
- Buffy Summers: There were no tongues. Besides, he's gone.
- [playing Dungeon's and Dragons]
- Rupert Giles: How could it possibly get uglier? I used to be a highly respected Watcher, and now I'm a wounded dwarf with the mystical strength of a doily. I just wish I could sleep.
- Dawn Summers: What kind of person could sleep on a night like this?
- Xander Harris: [strokes the sleeping Anya's head] Only the crazy ones.
- Willow Rosenberg: Did you find out anything about the scythe?
- Buffy Summers: It slices, dices, and makes julienne preacher.
- Rupert Giles: Caleb?
- Buffy Summers: I cut him in half.
- Willow Rosenberg: All right!
- Anya: He had that coming.
- Xander Harris: Hey, party in my eye socket, and everyone's invited.
- [everyone stares at Xander]
- Xander Harris: Sometimes I shouldn't say words.
- [Dawn kicks Buffy in the shin]
- Buffy Summers: Ow.
- Dawn Summers: Dumbass.
- [Buffy looks at Xander]
- Xander Harris: Don't look at me. This is a Summers thing. It's all very violent.
- Buffy Summers: [to Dawn] If you get killed, I'm telling.
- [Buffy has just sliced Caleb in two from the crotch up just as Angel revives from being hit on the head by Caleb]
- Angel: Okay. Now I'm pissed. Where is he?
- Buffy Summers: He had to split.
- [preparing to face the onslaught of übervamps]
- Andrew Wells: I think they're coming.
- Anya: Oh, God. I'm terrified. I-I didn't think. I mean, I, I just figured you'd be terrified, and I would be sarcastic about it.
- Andrew Wells: Picture happy things. A lake. Candy canes. Bunnies.
- Anya: [enraged] Bunnies! Floppy, hoppy... bunnies!
- Buffy Summers: I hate this. I hate being here. I hate that you have to be here. I hate that there's evil... and that I was chosen to fight it. I wish a whole lot of the time that I hadn't been. I know a lot of you wish I hadn't been, either... This isn't about wishes. This is about choices. I believe we can beat this evil. Not when it comes. Not when its army is ready. Now. Tomorrow morning, I'm opening the seal. I'm going down into the Hellmouth and I am finishing this once and for all. Right now, you're asking yourself what makes this different. What makes us anything more than a bunch of girls being picked off one by one? It's true. None of you have the power that Faith and I do. So here's the part where you make a choice.
- Angel: You know, I started it, the whole "having a soul," before it was all the cool new thing.
- Buffy Summers: Oh, my God. Are you twelve?
- Buffy Summers: What do you think?
- Xander Harris: That depends. Are you in any way... kidding?
- Buffy Summers: You don't think it's a good idea?
- Faith: It's pretty radical, B.
- Rupert Giles: It's a lot more than that. Buffy, what you said, well, it-it-it flies in the face of everything we've ever- every generation has ever done in the fight against evil... I think it's bloody brilliant.
- Buffy Summers: You mean that?
- Rupert Giles: If you want my opinion.
- Buffy Summers: I just realized something. Something that... really never occurred to me before... We're gonna win.
- Anya: So that leaves me and the Dungeon Master in the North Hall?
- Andrew Wells: We will defend it with our very lives.
- Anya: Yes. We will defend it with his very life.
- Xander Harris: And don't be afraid to use him as a human shield.
- Anya: Good. Yes. Thanks.
- Angel: I'm gettin' the brush off for Captain Peroxide. It doesn't necessarily bring out the champion in me.
- Buffy Summers: You're not getting the brush off. Ar-Are you just going to come here and go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?
- Angel: Aha! Boyfriend.
- Buffy Summers: He's not... But... he is in my heart.
- Angel: That'll end well.
- Buffy Summers: What was the highlight of our relationship? When you broke up with me or when I killed you?
- Anya: Come on. Let's go assemble the cannon fodder.
- Xander Harris: That's not what we're calling 'em, sweetie.
- Anya: Not to their faces. What, am I insensitive?
- Andrew Wells: I just wanna say how proud I am to die for this very special cause with you guys. There's some, um... There's people I'd like to thank, both good and evil, um... A shout-out to my brother, Tucker, who gave me the inspiration to summon demons and also...
- Anya: Nobody cares, you little monkey.
- Buffy Summers: Good. Good. I haven't had quite enough jealous vampire crap for one night.
- Spike: [about Angel] He wears lifts, you know.
- Buffy Summers: You know, one of these days I'm just gonna put you two in a room and let you wrassle it out.
- Spike: No problem at this end.
- Buffy Summers: There could be oil of some kind involved.
- Angel: I got coverage on the whole thing. It's very gripping. It needs a third act.
- Buffy Summers: You *have* to leave L.A.
- Buffy Summers: [as The First] Oh, no. Ow! Mommy, this mortal wound is all... itchy. You pulled a nice trick. You came pretty close to smacking me down. What more do you want?
- Buffy Summers: [through gritted teeth] I want you...
- [sits up]
- Buffy Summers: ... to get out of my face.
- [stands up]
- Rupert Giles: Yes, because the mall was actually in Sunnydale, so there's no hope of going there tomorrow.
- Dawn Summers: We destroyed the mall? I fought on the wrong side.
- Xander Harris: All those shops, gone. The Gap, Starbucks, Toys "R" Us. Who will remember all those landmarks unless we tell the world of them?
- Angel: I, uh, brought something else as well.
- [holds up a necklace]
- Buffy Summers: I can already tell you I have nothing that goes with that.
- Angel: It's not for you.
- Buffy Summers: Explainy?
- Angel: I don't know everything. It's very powerful and probably very dangerous. Has a purifying power or cleansing power. Possibly scrubbing bubbles.
- Spike: I can feel it, Buffy.
- Buffy Summers: What?
- Spike: My soul... It's really there... Kind of stings.
- Rupert Giles: I'll, uh, go dig up my sources, quite literally, actually. The only two people I have to speak to are dead.
- Kennedy: I'll be with you to keep you grounded.
- Willow Rosenberg: Yeah, well, you might have to keep me "stab-ded" if I go to the bad place.
- Kennedy: You're saying I might have to kill you?
- Willow Rosenberg: I am.
- Kennedy: Bite me!
- Willow Rosenberg: I will. I mean, I do... mean it.
- Caleb: [as The First] I will overrun this Earth. And when my army outnumbers the humans on this Earth, the scales will tip... and I will be made flesh.
- Buffy Summers: Talk on. I'm not afraid of you.
- Caleb: Then why aren't you asleep... in your dead lover's arms? 'Cause he can't help you. Nor Faith. Nor your friends. Certainly not your wanna-slay brigade. None of those girlies will ever know real power unless you're dead. Now, you know the drill.
- [morphs into Buffy]
- Buffy Summers: [as The First] Into every generation, a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world. She alone will have the strength and skill to- There's that word again. What you are. How you'll die... alone... Where's your snappy comeback?
- Buffy Summers: You're right.
- Buffy Summers: [as The First] Hmm. Not your best.
- [first lines]
- Angel: Well, I guess that qualifies as "happy to see me."
- Buffy Summers: Angel, what are you doing he- Don't even. I just want to bask.
- [pause]
- Buffy Summers: Okay, I'm basked. What are you doing here?
- Angel: You're not telling me something. The scent. I remember it pretty well.
- Buffy Summers: You vampires. Anybody ever tell you the whole smelling people thing's a little gross?
- Principal Robin Wood: Welcome to Sunnydale High. There's no running in the halls, no yelling, no gum chewing. Apart from that, there's only one rule. If they move, kill them.
- Faith: Looks like the Hellmouth is officially closed for business.
- Rupert Giles: There's another one in Cleveland... not to spoil the moment.
- Willow Rosenberg: This goes beyond anything I've ever done. It's a total loss of control, and not in a nice, wholesome, "my girlfriend has a pierced tongue" kinda way.
- Willow Rosenberg: The darkest place I've ever been, this is what lies beyond that. This is too important for me...
- Kennedy: Buffy believes in you.
- Willow Rosenberg: You know, Buffy? Sweet girl. Not that bright.
- Kennedy: Hey, I'm the first one to call her out when she's not making sense. In fact, this may have escaped your keen notice, but I'm... kind of a brat. I've always sort of gotten my way. So you're gonna make it through this no matter how dark it gets. Because now... you're my way.
- Faith: That's assuming they get past us.
- Principal Robin Wood: Which, no offense, I am.
- Faith: Come on. You gotta have a little faith.
- Principal Robin Wood: I think I've had my share, thanks.
- Faith: Well, I trundled right into that one, didn't I? Look, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was blowing you off the other day. I was just trying to, you know, blow you off.
- Principal Robin Wood: Yeah, you know what? I figured that one out all by myself.
- Buffy Summers: [to The First] You ever considered a cool name? I mean, since you're incorporeal and basically powerless. How about the Taunter?
- Xander Harris: If you have to go to the bathroom, it's to your left. If you don't have to go to the bathroom, picture what you're about to face. Better to go now.
- Caleb: [as The First] But then you do have an army of your own. Some thirty-odd pimply-faced girls, don't know the pointy end of a stake. Maybe I should call this off.
- Willow Rosenberg: Okay. Magic time. You ready to...
- [nervous laugh]
- Willow Rosenberg: kill me?
- Kennedy: Starting to be.
- Willow Rosenberg: Good. Fun.
