WESLEY: You've suffered enough.

(he lights the paper on fire)

WESLEY: I want you to find some peace.

LILAH: Gallant to the end...but I knew what I signed up for.

WESLEY: It's done.

LILAH: Look in the drawer.

LILAH: Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything. But it means something that you tried.
