Quotes 

  • Buffy Summers : You're Watchers... Without a Slayer, you're pretty much just watchin' Masterpiece Theater... You can't stop Glory. You can't do anything with the information you have except maybe publish it in the "Everyone Thinks We're Insane-Os Home Journal." So here's how it's gonna work. You're gonna tell me everything you know. Then you're gonna go away. You'll contact me if and when you have any further information about Glory. The magic shop will remain open. Mr. Giles will stay here as my official Watcher, reinstated at full salary...

    Rupert Giles : [fake cough]  Retroactive.

    Buffy Summers : ...to be paid retroactively from the month he was fired. I will continue my work with the help of my friends...

    Lydia : I-I-I... don't want a sword thrown at me, but-but, civilians, I- we're talking about children.

    Buffy Summers : We're talking about two very powerful witches and a thousand-year-old ex-demon.

    Anya : Willow's a demon?

  • [last lines] 

    Buffy : Just tell me what kind of demon I'm fighting.

    Quentin Travers : Well, that's the thing, you see. Glory isn't a demon.

    Buffy : What is she?

    Quentin Travers : She's a god.

    Buffy : Oh.

  • Buffy Summers : You guys didn't come all the way from England to determine whether or not I was good enough to be let back in... You came to beg me to let *you* back in... to give your jobs, your lives, some semblance of meaning.

    Nigel : This is beyond insolence...

    [Buffy throws a sword into the wall next to him] 

    Buffy Summers : I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

    Xander Harris : That was excellent.

  • Philip : The boy? No power there.

    Buffy : "The boy" has clocked more field time than all of you combined. He's part of the unit.

    Willow : That's Riley-speak.

    Xander : [proudly]  I've clocked field time.

  • Buffy Summers : They're gonna expect me to... to be like a Slayer and-and know stuff, but I'm just me, and-and I don't know anything and they're gonna to go away and they're not gonna tell me how to fight Glory and I'm not gonna be able to protect Dawn.

    Rupert Giles : Buffy, calm down. The scandal here is not anything you've done wrong. It's the way *they're* behaving, holding what they know hostage, with a gun pointed at my bleeding green card, no less.

    [sighs] 

    Rupert Giles : It's humiliating.

    Buffy Summers : Also smart... They picked the perfect thing... I can't lose you.

  • Quentin Travers : We'll skip the more obvious questions.

    Buffy : There isn't gonna be a review.

    Quentin Travers : Sorry?

    Buffy : No review. No interrogation. No questions you *know* I can't answer, no hoops, no jumps...

    [Nigel starts to say something] 

    Buffy : ...and no interruptions... See...

    [sighs] 

    Buffy : I've had a lot of people talking at me the last few days. Everyone just *lining* up to tell me how unimportant I am... And I've finally figured out why... Power. I have it. They don't... This bothers them... Glory... came to my home today.

    Rupert Giles : Buffy, are you all...

    Buffy : Just to talk. She told me I'm a bug. I'm a flea. She could squash me in a second. Only she didn't... She came into my home, and we talked. We had what, in her warped brain, probably passes for a civilized conversation. Why? Because she needs something from me, because I have power over her.

  • Buffy Summers : They put me through that test and almost killed me. And then when I was Faith, they almost killed me again. Honestly, I really can't handle almost being killed right now.

  • Buffy Summers : You know what, Spike? The more I get to know you, the more I wish I didn't.

  • Rupert Giles : I should have set you loose on them. That's what I should have done.

    Buffy Summers : Giles, that Travers guy is like, 60. I can't hit him...

    [eagerly] 

    Buffy Summers : Can I?

  • Buffy Summers : [about Dawn]  She was listening.

    Willow Rosenberg : Does it matter? I mean, is she really gonna set the junior high school buzzing with, "Ooh, there's a delegation a-comin'."

  • [first lines] 

    Buffy Summers : Here. I'll get that. Sorry... Mom's still not 100% and I guess I haven't really been taking up the slack.

    Willow Rosenberg : No, the place looks fine, Buffy.

    Tara Maclay : Yeah, it's just us.
