from Enemies (Season 3)

ANGEL: Morning, sleepyhead. You know what I just can't believe? All of our time together and we never tried chains. Well, can't dwell on the past, especially with the future we have ahead.

FAITH: Bondage looks good on you, B. The outfit's all wrong, but, hey!

BUFFY: You don't know what you're doing.

FAITH: Really? Weird, because something about all this just feels so right. Maybe it's one of those unhappy childhood things. See, when I was a kid I used to beg my mom for a dog. Didn't matter what kind. I just wanted, you know, something to love. (kisses Angel) A dog's all I wanted. Well, that and toys. But mom was so busy, you know, enjoying the drinking and passing out parts of life, that I never really got what I wanted, until now.

BUFFY: Faith, listen to me very closely. Angel's a killer. When he's done with me, he'll turn on you.

ANGEL: She's right. I probably will.

FAITH: Yeah? Hunh. Guess we'll just have to keep you around for a while then. Before we get started, I just want you to know, if you're a screamer, feel free.

BUFFY: Why, Faith? What's in it for you?

FAITH: What isn't? You know, I come to Sunnydale. I'm the Slayer. I do my job kicking ass better than anyone. What do I hear about everywhere I go? Buffy. So I slay, I behave, I do the good little girl routine. And who's everybody thank? Buffy.

BUFFY: It's not my fault.

FAITH: Everybody always asks, why can't you be more like Buffy? But did anyone ever ask if you could be more like me?

ANGEL: I know I didn't.

FAITH: You get the Watcher. You get the mom. You get the little Scooby gang. What do I get? Jack squat. This is supposed to be my town!

BUFFY: Faith, listen to me!

FAITH: Why? So you can impart some special Buffy wisdom, that it? Do you think you're better than me? Do you? Say it, you think you're better than me.

BUFFY: I am. Always have been.

FAITH: Um, maybe you didn't notice. Angel's with me.

BUFFY: And how did you get him, Faith? Magic? Cast some sort of spell? Cause in the real world, Angel would never touch you and we both know it.

Faith backhands Buffy.

BUFFY: You had to tie me up to beat me. There's a word for people like you, Faith. Loser.

FAITH: Uh huh. You're just trying to make me mad so I'll kill you. I'm too smart for that. Stick around.

BUFFY: For what? Your boss's lame Ascenscion. Like I couldn't stop it.

FAITH: You can't.

BUFFY: I will.

FAITH: Keep dreaming. No one can stop the Ascenscion. Mayor's got it wired, B. He built this town for demons to feed on and come graduation day, he's getting paid. And I'll be sitting at his right hand. Assuming he has hands after the transformation. I'm not too clear on that part. And all your little lame ass friends are going to be kibbles'n'bits. Think about that when your boyfriends cutting into you.

BUFFY: I never knew you had so much rage in you.

FAITH: What can I say? I'm the world's best actor.

ANGEL: Second best.

Faith turns to Angel in surprise.

BUFFY: Graduation day. You think we missed anything?

ANGEL: I think we know everything she knows.

BUFFY: May I say something? (pulls her hands free) Psych!

FAITH: You played me. You played me!
