Buffy Summers
- Cordelia Chase: [at school library] Don't let me interrupt. Wait, let me interrupt. I'm in a hurry.
- Rupert Giles: What did you need?
- Cordelia Chase: Uh, Psych class. Freud and Jung, book me!
- Rupert Giles: Be right with you.
- [Cordelia nods]
- Cordelia Chase: [to Wesley] Check out Giles, the next generation. What's your deal?
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I - I, uh... well... I'm a...
- Faith: New watcher.
- Cordelia Chase: Oh.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [to Buffy] Does everybody know about you?
- Buffy Summers: She's a friend.
- Cordelia Chase: Let's not exaggerate. So...
- [looking up into Wesley's eyes:]
- Cordelia Chase: you're the new watcher?
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: [shakes her hand] Wesley Wyndam-Pryce.
- Cordelia Chase: I like a man with two last names. I'm Cordelia.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: And you teach psychology?
- Cordelia Chase: [smiles] I *take* psychology.
- Rupert Giles: [returns with requested books] She's a student.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Oh. Well. I... yes... In fact, I - I am here to watch... girls... I - I... Buffy and Faith, to be specific.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Does everybody know about you?
- Buffy Summers: She's a friend.
- Cordelia Chase: Let's not exaggerate.
- Rupert Giles: No, I-I don't see it, Xander. I mean, of... of all of us, you're the one person arguably that Faith has had the least contact with.
- Xander Harris: Yeah, but we hung out a little... recently, and she seemed to be, um... responsive.
- Buffy Summers: When did you guys hang out?
- Xander Harris: Oh, she was fighting one of those, uh, apocalypse demon things and I helped her. Gave her a ride home.
- Buffy Summers: And you guys talked?
- Xander Harris: Not extensively, no.
- Buffy Summers: They why would you...
- [realizes]
- Buffy Summers: Oh.
- Rupert Giles: [also realizing] Oh!
- [everybody looks at Willow]
- Willow Rosenberg: I don't need to say "oh." I got it before... They slept together.
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, maybe we should all talk to Faith together.
- Buffy Summers: You mean, like that intervention thing that you guys did on me? As I recall, Xander and I nearly came to blows.
- Xander Harris: You nearly came to blows, Buffy. I nearly came to loss of limbs.
- Faith: So the mayor of Sunnydale is a black hat. That's a shocker, huh?
- Buffy Summers: Actually, yeah. I didn't get the bad guy vibe off him.
- Faith: What are you worrying about, B? It doesn't matter what kind of vibe you get off a person, because nine times out of ten, the face they're showing you, is not the real one.
- Buffy Summers: I guess you know all about that.
- Faith: [shakes her head] What's that supposed to mean?
- Buffy Summers: It's just, look at you, Faith. Less than twenty-four hours ago, you killed a man. And now it's all zippety-doo-dah? It's not the truth, and I know it. Look, I know what you're feeling, because I'm feeling it too.
- Faith: Do you? So fill me in, because I'd like to hear this.
- Buffy Summers: Dirty. Like something sick creeped inside me, and you can't get it out. And you keep hoping that it was just some nightmare, *but it wasn't.* And we're gonna have to figure out...
- Faith: Is there gonna be an intermission in this?
- [shakes her head]
- Buffy Summers: Just let me talk to Giles, okay? I swear...
- Faith: No! We're not bringing *anybody* else into this. You gotta keep your head, B, it's all gonna blow over in a few days.
- Buffy Summers: And if it doesn't?
- Faith: If it doesn't,
- [shrugs]
- Faith: they got a freighter leaving the docks at least twice a day. It ain't fancy, but it gets you gone.
- Buffy Summers: And that's it? You just live with it? You see the dead guy in your head *every day* for the rest of your life?
- Faith: Buffy, I'm not gonna see anything. I missed the mark last night, and I'm sorry about the guy. I really am. But it happens. Tell me, how many people do you think we've saved by now? Thousands? Didn't we stop the world from ending? Because in my book, that puts you and me in the plus column.
- Buffy Summers: We help people! It doesn't mean we can do whatever we want!
