Buffy: Well they think they’re right, and that they could stop me if I really wanted to. I don’t know though if that’s what they’re up to, it’s just a hunch really.
Buffy: Good.
Spike: And the Army’s involved. Right.
Spike: Too late to quit? Settle in Boca Raton with an umbrella in your drink and call it a job well done?
Buffy: Maybe if the hellmouth was in Boca Raton and the world could actually stay saved for more than half a year.

Buffy: I guess I’m going to the training, show them how much I don’t need it. More immediately, there is a scooby meeting tomorrow at my apartment. I want you to be there if you want to be there.
Buffy: I think the gang’s going to try and go all intervention on me, but I can’t be sure.
Spike: Last time didn’t teach ’em anything?
Spike: I’ll be there.
Buffy: Well they think they’re right, and that they could stop me if I really wanted to. I don’t know though if that’s what they’re up to, it’s just a hunch really.
Buffy: Good.
Phone call @ Buffy
Angel: [Has finally decided to dial her number, pressing the phone up to his ear. The phone is ringing and he’s wondering if maybe he should hang up.]
Buffy: [Flips open her cell phone, sees who it is. She doesn’t answer yet, unsure of what to say. They haven’t talked since… Well a long time. She takes a deep breath and presses the green talk button.] Hello, Angel?
Angel: [Pauses, her voice throwing him off for a second.] Uh… yeah, hey. [He runs his hands through his hair, feeling bad that he hadn’t called her before all of this slayer registration stuff had gone down. Now was a better time than never, though.] How are you?
Buffy: [How indeed. If she was being completely honest she’d say she was scared out of her wits. But she wouldn’t.] Oh you know… [Pauses, trying to think of just how to put it. So he wouldn’t worry.] I’m as good as I can be, given my… Well, given the life I live.

Buffy: I don’t know if you’ve seen the news. It looks like I’m gonna have to be signing my name in blood to the government the day after the day after tomorrow. Thought you’d maybe want to know. I’m still going through with it.
Spike: And after?
Buffy: I guess I’m going to the training, show them how much I don’t need it. More immediately, there is a scooby meeting tomorrow at my apartment. I want you to be there if you want to be there.

Buffy: If it can happen before the 22nd. That’s sort of D-Day. Or R-Day I guess.
Xander: Where’s a good apocalypse when you need one?
Xander: We could have one tomorrow or Friday. Your place?
Buffy: I guess the sooner the better. Though I’m guessing it’s just gonna end up with everyone against me.
Buffy: Tomorrow it is, my place. You can spread the word or I can.
Xander: We both can. I’ll tell Will.
Xander: Should we let the Slayerlings know or will it just be us vets?
Buffy: Well Penelope kind of relays stuff to them for me usually so I think it’s safe to say they wouldn’t really need to be there. Giles is out of town I guess, so Ms. Fairfax’ll have to be the stuffiest party there.
Buffy: And Kennedy, if she wants to come. She kind of has big kid status in my opinion.

fairfax-for-the-greater-good replied to your post : [pm] I don’t suppose you know your blood type off the top of your head, do you?[pm] And I suppose you’re going to refuse to find out in advance? Ms. Summers, the last thing the cause needs is to lose a young woman as strong as you. Barring any obvious shortcomings in our blood types, I will do this.[pm] How do you expect me to live with myself if I let you go in my place? I’m not the person that lets others do what I can do myself, not when their life is on the line.
[pm] Ms. Summers, a watcher is the one person who ought to step in when your life is on the line in a case such as this so that you will be free to give yours up for a better cause.
Help me do this, please.
[pm] This is the better cause.

Buffy: If they try something bad on me don’t you trust I’ll beat the bejeezus out of them before that happens? I’m gonna do this, it’s the only way I can see.
Xander: I don’t doubt you, but they could have tranq guns and strength in numbers.
Xander: …Fine, but can we make a pact that you don’t go alone? And have a big Scooby meeting to talk about these things with everyone before and see if there are any better plans?

Buffy: That’s my plan. The lady watcher, Ms. Fairfax is gonna try and get all glammed up and go in as me; but I’m not letting it happen. They’ll find out she’s not a slayer the moment they realize she doesn’t have superstrength and I don’t trust them not to just “dispose of” her if that happens.
Xander: I agree about the Watcher. It wouldn’t take long to realize she doesn’t have slayer powers, but I don’t trust them not to try something bad on you. I’m not letting that happen.
Buffy: If they try something bad on me don’t you trust I’ll beat the bejeezus out of them before that happens? I’m gonna do this, it’s the only way I can see.
