come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Joyce: you walk out, don't even *think* about coming back from Becoming (Part 2) (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
JOYCE: It's because you didn't have a strong father figure, isn't it?
BUFFY: It's just fate, Mom. I'm the Slayer. Accept it.
JOYCE: We should call the police.
BUFFY: No. We're not calling the police.
JOYCE: Well, now that we know that you're innocent, it's...
BUFFY: What? You thought I was guilty? Jeez, feelin' the love in *this* room!
JOYCE: No, I didn't think that. It's just... now we have proof.
BUFFY: We have my word, Mom. Not proof.
JOYCE: Look, I am sure that they will understand.
BUFFY: Get them involved, you'll get them killed.
JOYCE: Well, you're not gonna hurt them, are you?
BUFFY: I'm a Slayer, not a postal worker. Cops can't fight demons. I have to do it.
JOYCE: Do what? Buffy, what is happening?
BUFFY: Just have another drink.
JOYCE: Don't you talk to me that way! You don't get to just dump something like this on me and pretend it's nothing!
BUFFY: I'm sorry, Mom, but I don't have time for this.
JOYCE: No! I am tired of 'I don't have time' or-or 'you wouldn't understand.' I am your mother, and you will *make* time to explain yourself.
BUFFY: I told you. I'm a Vampire Slayer.
JOYCE: Well, I just don't accept that!
BUFFY: Open your eyes, Mom. What do you think has been going on for the past two years? The fights, the weird occurrences. How many times have you washed blood out of my clothing, and you still haven't figured it out?
JOYCE: Well, it stops now!
BUFFY: No, it doesn't stop! It *never* stops! Do-do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would *love* to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or... God, even studying! But I have to save the world... again.
JOYCE: No. This is insane. Buffy, you need help.
BUFFY: I'm *not* crazy! What I need is for you to chill. I *have* to go!
JOYCE: No. I am not letting you out of this house.
BUFFY: You can't stop me.
JOYCE: Oh yes I... (tries to stop her, gets shoved) You walk out of this house, don't even *think* about coming back!
