come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Giles: and don't think pouting is going to get to me from Reptile Boy (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
GILES: Just because the paranormal is more normal and less... para of late is no excuse for tardiness or letting your guard down.
BUFFY: I haven't let my guard down.
GILES: Oh, really? You yawned your way through weapons training last week, you, you, you, you skipped hand-to-hand entirely... Are you gonna be prepared if a demon springs up behind you and does this? (tries something, fails) Yeah, well, I'm, I'm not a demon. Which is why you should let go now. (quietly) Thank you. When you live on top of a... a mystical convergence it's only a matter of time before a fresh hell breaks loose. Now is the time that you should train more strictly, you should hunt and patrol more keenly, you should hone your skills day and night.
BUFFY: And the little slice of life that still belongs to me from, I don't know, seven to seven-oh-five in the morning, can I do what I want then?
GILES: Buffy, you think I don't know what it's like to be sixteen?
BUFFY: No. I think you *don't* know what it's like to be sixteen. And a girl. And the Slayer.
GILES: Fair enough, no, no, I-I don't.
BUFFY: Or what it's like to have to stake vampires while you're having fuzzy feelings towards one?
GILES: Uh...
BUFFY: Digging on the undead doesn't exactly do wonders for your social life.
GILES: That's exactly where, where being... different, uh, comes in handy.
BUFFY: Right! Who needs a social life when you've got your very own Hellmouth?
GILES: Yes! Y-you, you, you have a duty, a-a-a purpose, y-y-you have a commitment in life. Now how many people your age can say that?
BUFFY: We talkin' foreign or domestic? How 'bout none?
GILES: Well, here's a hard fact of life: we all have to do things we don't like! And you have hand-to-hand this afternoon and patrol tonight. So I, I suggest you come straight here at the end of, of period six a-and you get your homework done. And don't dawdle with your friends. And, and don't think sitting there pouting is gonna get to me, because it won't. (Buffy pouts, he looks away) It's not getting to me.
