(Buffy & Willow square off)

WILLOW: So. Here we are.

BUFFY: Are we really gonna do this?

WILLOW: Come on! This is a huge deal for me! Six years as a side man. Now *I* get to be the Slayer.

BUFFY: A killer isn't a Slayer. Being a Slayer means something you can't conceive of.

WILLOW: Oh, Buffy. You really need to have every square inch of your ass kicked.

BUFFY: Then show me what you got. And I'll show you what a Slayer *really* is.

(they fight)

WILLOW: Get off, super bitch.

(more fighting)

BUFFY: I can help you stop.

WILLOW: I thought you were gonna show me what a Slayer was?

(sends Buffy flying, reveals Anya's hidden location)

WILLOW: Well, hey. That's interesting. Anya's still here... Looks like I've been beating on the wrong gal.

(...)

ANYA: HELP ME!

WILLOW: You can't block my spells if you can't chant. You can't chant if you're sleepin'...

(flings her aside)

WILLOW: Buffy, I gotta tell ya - I get it now. The Slayer thing really isn't about the violence. It's about the *power*. And there's no one in the world with the power to stop me now.

(she gets blasted, goes flying)

GILES: I'd like to test that theory.
