Grave
(B=Buffy, X=Xander, W=Willow, S=Spike, D=Dawn, A=Anya, J=Jonathan, Aw=Andrew, G=Giles)
W: You guys wanna take it slow? I can do that. Ask Warren.
S: Bad move, bad move, bad move.
S: Wait...first stage? Bugger.
B: Will, back off before someone gets hurt.
W: How bout I back off after?
B: I don't wanna hurt you.
*smash*
W: Not a problem.
B: I said I didn't want to...
*smash*
B: Didn't say I wouldn't.
B: Are we really gonna do this?
W: Come on, this is a huge deal for me. Six years as a sideman, now I get to be the slayer.
B: A killer isn't a slayer. Being a slayer is something you can't conceive of...
W: Oh Buffy, you really need to have every square inch of your ass kicked.
B: Then show me what you've got, and I'll show you what a real slayer is.
W: Get off, superbitch.
W: I thought you were gonna show me what a slayer was?
Aw: And what if the slayer's dead already? We're just supposed to wait for Sabrina to show up and disembowel us?
Aw: I'm not gonna budge til...right now. Ow.
W: Buffy, I gotta tell ya...I get it now. The slayer thing really isn't about the violence. It's about the power.
*zap*
W: And there's no one in the world with the power to stop me now.
*ZAP!!!*
G: I'd like to test that theory.
W: Uh oh...daddy's home. I'm in wicked trouble now.
W: That's what you watchers are good at, watching. Butting in on things that don't concern you.
W: Remember that little spat we had before you left, when you were under the dillusion that you were still relevant here? You called me a rank, arrogant amateur. Well buckle up Rupert....cause I've turned pro.
G: It's put her in a kind of stasus....you cut your hair.
A: I'm blonde. I colored my hair...again. I'm blonde.
G: Yes, I noticed.
B: Giles, everything's been so...Xander left Anya at the alter, and Anya's a vengence demon again. Dawn's a total clepto. Money's been so tight that I've been slinging burgers at the Doublemeat Palace...and I've been sleeping with Spike.
G: *laughs* Hmm...sorry. *laughs hysterically*
B: *laughs*
A: I know what you're trying to do, and I hate to burst your bubble, but that mind control mojo doesn't work on Vengence demons...so why don't you just...
W: Stop talking and listen.
A: Ok.
G: *laughing* Duct tape?
B: *laughing* On their mouth...so the demon could eat them...*laughing*
G: *laughing* Because they were figments...
B: *laughing* All of it. You, Sunnydale, and I was just some nutcase in high...
G: Of course, why didn't we see this before? *laughs*
B: No, you were right to leave. We're just...stupid.
G: I know you're all stupid.
G: Willow's killed a human being. How will she be able to live with herself?
W: I wouldn't worry about that. Willow doesn't live here anymore.
D: You know if Spike were here he'd go back and fight.
X: Sure, if he wasn't too busy trying to rape your sister.
D: What?
X: Forget it.
D: I don't believe you.
X: Fine.
D: He wouldn't do that.
X: Is this blind spot like a genetic trait with the Summers women? The only useful thing Spike ever did was finally leave town.
G: If you lose someone you love, then the other people in your life who care about you become meaningless. I wonder what Tara would say about that.
W: You can ask her yourself.
*ZAPPP!!!*
W: You're always saving everyone. It's kind of pesky.
W: Unless somebody, somehow can get there in time to save them. Fly my pretty, fly! See what I did there?
G: Go.
W: Good luck.
W: Thought she'd never leave.
W: I used to think you had all the answers...that I had so much to learn from you.
W: That....was rude. Now I forgot what I was saying.
G: At this rate you'll burn out...
W: Blah, blah blah.
W: Giles, it's like no mortal person has ever had this much power. Ever. It's like I'm connected to everything.
J: Ow...son of a bitch.
Aw: Butt-wipe.
J: I wasn't talking to you.
Aw: Oh, reflex.
X: Yeah, I'm working on a whole "shut the hell up" pitch you might like too.
J: Mexico, huh?
G: I can see.
A: Oh...it's a....miracle.
A: Giles, you have to rest.
G: Silly girl, I'm dying.
A: No you're not.
G: She's gonna finish it.
A: Finish what?
G: The world.
A: Something else Giles said. No magic or supernatural force can stop her.
B: What does that mean?
A: I don't know. He said "The slayer can't stop her". Then he said a bunch of other stuff. He really wasn't too clear.
B: Is he ok?
A: I don't think he has a lot of time left. Sorry.
W: Always the slayer. Right 'til the last...and it is the last, you know. For all your fighting, thinking you're saving the world...
D: Buffy?
W: And in the end, I'm the only one who can save it.
B: By killing us?
W: It's the only way to stop the pain. I can't take it anymore. But I know you, Buffy. You're a warrior. You won't go out without a fight. I don't really have time for one. But you should go out fighting.
B: Willow, what are you...
W: It was me who took you out of the earth. Well, now the earth wants you back.
A: Though in retrospect it probably would've been better if you hadn't come and given Willow that magic that made her like ten times more powerful. That would've been a plus.
X: Hey black-eyed girl. What'cha doin'?
X: You might be an uber-witch, but this carpenter can drywall you into the next century.
G: There.
A: What?
G: It's not over.
*slice*
D: What? You think I never watched you?
W: You can't stop this.
X: Yeah, I get that. It's just that you've been my best friend my whole life. World gonna end, where else would I wanna be?
W: Is this the master plan? You're gonna stop me by telling me that you love me?
X: Well, I was gonna walk you off a cliff by handing you an anvil, but it seemed kind of cartoony.
W: Still making jokes.
X: I'm not joking. I know you're in pain. I can't imagine what kind of pain you're in. And I know you're about to do something apocolyptically evil and stupid, and hey, still wanna hang. You're Willow.
W: Don't call me that.
X: The first day of kindergarten you cried because you broke the yellow crayon, and you were too afraid to tell anyone. You've come pretty far. Ending the world not a terrific notion, but the thing is...yeah, I love you. I love crayon-breaky Wilow, and I love scary-veiny Willow. So if I'm going out, it's here. If you wanna kill the world, then start with me. I've earned that.
W: You think I won't?
X: It doesn't matter. I'll still love you.
W: Shut up
*zap!*
X: I love you.
*zap!*
X: I...love you.
W: Shut up! *zap!*
X: I love you, Willow.
*zap!*
W: Stop!
X: I love you.
W: Stop!
*cries*
X: *under breath* I love you.
G: The gift that was given to me by the coven is the true essence of magic. Willow's magic came from a place of rage and power...
A: And vengence. Don't forget vengence.
G: No, how could I. In any case, the magics she took from me tapped into a spark of humanity she had left. It helped her to feel again. It gave Xander the opportunity to reach her.
A: Xander?
G: Yes. It was he who got to her in time. He saved us all.
B: I wanna see my friends happy again. I wanna see you grow up. The woman you're gonna become, because she's gonna be beautiful, and she's gonna be powerful. I got it so wrong. I don't wanna protect you from the world. I wanna show it to you. There's so much that I wanna show you.
African Demon Guy: You have endured the required trials.
S: Bloody right, I have. So you give me what I want. Make me what I was, so Buffy can get what she deserves.
African Demon Guy: Very well. We will return your soul!
