Buffy: Willow says they might be leaving if people find out who Faith is.
Buffy: I can’t blame them.
Buffy: Nobody can find out about Faith, especially not the government.
Buffy: I don’t have to fight alone if she stays, but I’m registering alone.
Spike: You’re an idiot.
Buffy: Well do you have any other suggestions or plans?
Buffy: I’m being serious.

Buffy: I can’t let them. I just can’t.
Buffy: If anyone’s going to become the government’s pawn, it’s me.
Buffy: I’m the only one that even stands a chance or surviving that.
Spike: At least let Faith shoulder it.
Spike: She’s ten times a wreck right now, but she’ll get above it.
Buffy: Willow says they might be leaving if people find out who Faith is.

Buffy: I won’t be alone though. I have my people. That’s what makes me different.
Buffy: I think it’s meant to be this way, it’s not supposed to be good or easy for too long.
Buffy: It always works itself out to be this way. I can’t stop fighting just because of it.
Spike: No one’s sayin’ you’ve got to stop.
Spike: But your witch did that spell for a reason.
Buffy: I can’t let them. I just can’t.
Buffy: If anyone’s going to become the government’s pawn, it’s me.
Buffy: I’m the only one that even stands a chance or surviving that.

Buffy: All I’m gonna do is register. Just me, the others are going to act like they lost their powers.
Buffy: It’s not so bad, and maybe if we start acting like I’m the only one now they won’t even do the registration.
Buffy: Nobody’s ever afraid when it’s just one girl.
Spike: Right, yeah.
Spike: And you’ll go back to fightin’ the forces all on your lonesome.
Buffy: I won’t be alone though. I have my people. That’s what makes me different.

Buffy: It’s shameful to want to do the right thing? To protect the people that had the weight of the world thrust upon their shoulders because of me? You’re against it and I haven’t even told you my plan.
Buffy: This is what I do. It’s all I know. It’s who I am. I’m nothing if not this.
Spike: I’m against it because you’ve been a martyr for way too long.
Spike: And I’m against it because you’ve got loads of other girls who ought to share the load.
Spike: You’re a hero, Buffy. But you don’t have to be the only one anymore.
Buffy: All I’m gonna do is register. Just me, the others are going to act like they lost their powers.
Buffy: It’s not so bad, and maybe if we start acting like I’m the only one now they won’t even do the registration.
Buffy: Nobody’s ever afraid when it’s just one girl.

[pm] You’re /registering/? Are you absolutely friggin’ crazy? Well, clearly you are to have taken it this far already, but that’s besides the point. Do you really think the government’s going to buy all the other slayers losing their powers at once?

[pm] They all gained their powers at once. We’re going to act like Willow reversed the spell. So they would all lose their powers at once. There’s no way to prove they have the powers anyways. And maybe I am crazy but at least the others will be safe this way. And it’s only if this registration thing actually happens. If they’re safe it doesn’t matter what happens to me, at least there will be someone left to save the world when something actually bad comes along.

[pm] I saw the news. I don’t know if you still think I’m a Scooby, or… What are we doing? The plan, I mean. There must be a plan, and maybe I can help with it.

[pm] You’re still a Scooby if you want to be a Scooby, Anya. The plan is that the other slayers pretend they lost their powers and when the time comes I’m the only one that registers. The government gets their slayer and the girls go free. I’m gonna be protecting Cleveland all on my lonesome from now on since the others have to lay low. I could definitely use my friends to help me in that area.

[pm] You’re a person too. You shouldn’t have to be forced to register… Though I guess everyone already knows about you being a Slayer. Do you really think people are going to give up on it if we say the others don’t have powers?

[pm] It’s too late for me. If this is the price I have to pay to keep them safe I’ll do it a million times. Imagine the hate crimes they would face if they were well known. It makes me sick. They have to be safe so that they can stop the world from ending if I go. Slayer is a lot less scary than slayers. I don’t know if they’ll give up, but if the girls leave and just act normal there’s no way they can be found. It’s not like slayers have some sort of distinguishing mark tattooed on their faces. They don’t even know who the others are. The only one they’re sure of is me. 

[pm] I still don’t like it… What if there are hidden clauses in this registration business? What if the government gets the right to command you? Send you out as their weapon? Or run tests on you for super soldier designs? Or something else bad? And it’s not like it’s passed yet. Preparing for the worst is fine, but we shouldn’t do any early actions.  

I’m going to be here. I’m not sure exactly what I can do or if it’ll help, but a normal guy talking pro-Slayer might change one or two minds. And if not, well I’ll still be there, ready to do whatever you need.

[pm] I don’t like it either, doesn’t mean I won’t do it though. I can’t stand by and do nothing. Even if all of this doesn’t amount to actual slayer registration, it’s better if all the others get out of the limelight. Lay low about their powers. And if it happens, I know what I’ll be doing.

Spike: You all right?
Buffy: Kind of. I’ve got this plan to deal with this. It’s going to end up alright.
Buffy: Maybe not so much for me, but the world isn’t going to end or anything.
Spike: Yeah, that’s not convincin’ me at all.
Buffy: What’s there to convince? This is how it is, I do what I have to do.
Buffy: I may not end up okay, but the world will. And I’m okay with that.
Spike: Well, that’s a damn shame, ’cause I’m not.
Buffy: It’s shameful to want to do the right thing? To protect the people that had the weight of the world thrust upon their shoulders because of me? You’re against it and I haven’t even told you my plan.
Buffy: This is what I do. It’s all I know. It’s who I am. I’m nothing if not this.
