Buffy: I don’t care if you need it, I want you to have it.
Buffy: You don’t have to trust me, just believe in me. I’m not throwing myself under, I’m hitching a ride.
Buffy: But thank you anyways, for saying you would. If I did end up all splattered.
Buffy: And if you want to cavort, cavort. Maybe you can distract them with a scandal.
Spike: I’ll know when you’ve done whatever it is you’re doing?
Spike: You’ll keep me looped?
Buffy: I will.
Buffy: You can even hear it before all the rest.
Buffy: If you want.

[pm] Let me do it. I don’t actually have powers right now, but I’m still a Slayer. Let me do it, so that all those who do still have their powers can still fight, still protect the world. We can come up with a lie, or, or something. Tell them a new Slayer was chosen, tell them it’s not you anymore. They don’t know how it works. Don’t know how Slayers are chosen. Let me do it.

[pm] I can’t let that happen to you. Especially if you don’t have powers. Kennedy, I just can’t. Maybe together? I mean that’s a stretch, but maybe if we somehow get your powers back. Maybe then together. Maybe. Never by yourself. I’ve had a long run and I’m wise enough to know how not to get hurt. I’m not insulting you intelligence here, I just. I can’t do that to you when I know that I don’t have to. You let me do it, you’re a Slayer and you shouldn’t suffer for it. Team’s gotta stick together. QB Buffy’ll run the ball while the rest sets up the defense?

Buffy: I’m not saying goodbye. I’m saying sorry.
Buffy: Remember how I said I remembered what you said?
Buffy: If it gets bad I know where I can go. I’m not stupid, I’m too smart to let them eat me up.
Buffy: But I can let them think they are. This is all a game they’re playing.
Spike: Yeah, well, I don’t need sorry.
Spike: And I don’t trust you not to throw yourself under the eighteen-wheeler headed your way, either, but I’ll scrape you off the road if you do.
Spike: I’d even quit cavorting with the starry-eyed if it’d keep you clear.
Buffy: I don’t care if you need it, I want you to have it.
Buffy: You don’t have to trust me, just believe in me. I’m not throwing myself under, I’m hitching a ride.

[pm] And what the hell’s the game? Sounds more like giving up.

[pm] The game is that we let them think they’ve beat us. The people live in ignorance thinking that they’ve somehow restored public safety and you and the other slayers get to actually restore public safety. It’s not giving up, it’s just playing a different way than we’re used to.

Buffy: I meant maybe you could just forget all the shitty things I’ve said to you over my lifetime.
Buffy: And just remember the good ones.
Buffy: Because those are the things I meant, not the others.
Spike: You sayin’ good-bye?
Spike: This’d better not be you sayin’ good-bye.
Buffy: I’m not saying goodbye. I’m saying sorry.
Buffy: Remember how I said I remembered what you said?
