Dawn Summers
- Dawn Summers: You wanna know what I'm scared of, Spike...? Me... Right now, Glory thinks Tara's the Key. But I'm the Key, Spike. I am. And anything that happens to Tara... is 'cause of me. Your bruises, your limp... that's all me, too. I'm like a lightning rod for pain and hurt... And everyone around me suffers and dies. I... must be something so horrible to cause so much pain and evil.
- Spike: Rot.
- Dawn Summers: What do you know?
- Spike: I'm a vampire. I know something about evil. You're not evil.
- Dawn Summers: Maybe... I'm not evil. But I don't think I can be good.
- Spike: Well, I'm not good, and I'm okay.
- Buffy Summers: Damn it, Dawn! This is serious.
- Dawn Summers: Why? Why should I care about *any* of this?
- Buffy Summers: Because they'll take you away...
- Dawn Summers: Take me away? What do you mean?
- Buffy Summers: They'll take you away from me... That's what your principal told me when you weren't in the room. If I can't make you to go to school, then I won't be found fit to be your legal guardian.
