BUFFY: You can't think too much. Reacting's better. Could be the difference between staying alive and that other thing.

(...)

BUFFY: The question is never "what do you think," it's always "what do you know?" You gotta know it. If you don't, if you make one mistake.... it takes just one vampire to kill you. So you've got to know you can take him. Know your environment. Know what's around you, and know how to use it. In the hands of a slayer, everything is a potential weapon. If you know how to see it. When you're fighting, you have to know yourself, your brain, your body. Know how to stay calm, centered. Every move is important, every blow's got to be part of your plan 'cause you make that one mistake, and it's over. You're not the slayer. You're not a potential. You're dead. What do you know? Right now, the only thing you know for sure is you got me.

(Buffy drops the stake and walks out of the crypt. She and Spike close the doors, shutting the slayers-in-training inside with the vampire. )
