Season Seven "Lessons" Buffy: So.. who's got the power, Dawn? Dawn: Well, i've got the stake. Buffy: The stake is not the power. Dawn: But he's new. He doesn't know his strength. He might not know all those fancy martial arts skills they seem to inevitably seem pick up. Buffy: Who's got the power? Dawn: He does. Buffy: Never forget it. It doesn't matter how well-prepped you are or well-armed you are. You're a little girl. Dawn: Woman. Buffy: Little woman. Dawn: I'm taller than you! Buffy: He's a vampire,okay? Demon. Preternatually strong, skilled with powers no human could possibly ever- Vampire: Excuse me... i think i'm stuck. Buffy: It's real. It's the only lesson, Dawn. It's always real. Let me see. Dawn: It's nothing. It's just a scrape. Plus, i had a plan the whole time. Buffy: Really? Dawn: Yeah, i planned to get killed, come back as a vampire, and bite you. Buffy: Vampires, Demons.. their nothing compared to what's coming. Dawn: I know. I just can't believe it's back. Buffy: Believe me, i thought i was long past it. I guess you never are. Just a few more days until it starts, and then we'll never know what's coming next. Willow: Is there anything you don't know everything about? Giles: Synchronized swimming. Complete mystery to me. Giles: Do you want to be punished? Willow (plaintively): I wanna be Willow. Buffy: You're gonna be late! Dawn: I'm comfortable with that. Xander: How exactly do you "make" cereal? Buffy: Ah. You put the box near the milk. I saw it on the Food channel. Xander: How are you? Buffy: My sister's about to go to the same High School that tried to kill me for three years, i can't change districts, i can't afford private school, and i can't begin to prepare for what possibly could come out of there. So, peachy with a side of keen, that would be me. Xander: Right exactly where the library was, we know have.. Buffy: Pincipal's office. Dawn: So, the principal's evil? Buffy: Or in a boatload of danger. Buffy: If first you don't succeed... cheat. Spike: The-the thing is.. i had a speech. I learned it all.Oh,god, she won't understand, she won't understand. Warren: Of course she won't understand, Sparky. I'm beyond her understanding. She's a girl. Sugar and soice and everything... unless. Unless your baking. I'm more than that. More than fleash. Glory: More than blood. I'm.. you know, i honestly don't think there's a human word fabulous enough for me. Oh, my name will be on everyone's lips.... assuming their lips haven't been torn off. But not just yet. That's all right, though. Adam: I can't be patient.Everything is well in parameters. She's exactly were i want her to be. And so are you, Number 17. You're right where you belong. Mayor Wilkins: So what'd you think? You'd get your soul back and everything would be Jim Dandy? A soul's slipperier than a greased weasel. Why do you think i sold mine? Well, you probably thought you'd be your own man and i respect that. But you never will. Drusilla: You'll always be mine. You'll always be in the dark with me, singing our little songs. You like our little songs, don't you? You've always liked them, right from the beginning.And that's where were going. Master: Right back to the begining. Not the Bang, not the word. The true beginning. The next few months are going to be quite a ride and i think we are all going to learn something about ourselves in the process. You'll learn your a pathetic schmuck... if it hasn't sunk in already. Look at you. Tried to do what's right. Just like her. You still don't get it. It's not about right. Not about wrong. (Cuts from the master to..) Buffy: It's about power. |
