FAITH: You don't give up, do you?

BUFFY: Not on my friends, no.

FAITH: Yeah, because you and me are such solid buds, right?

BUFFY: We could be. It's not too late.

FAITH: For me to change and be more like you, you mean? Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes? It ain't gonna happen, B.

BUFFY: Faith, nobody is asking you to be like me, but you can't go on like this.

FAITH: Scares you, doesn't it?

BUFFY: Yeah, it scares me. Faith, you're hurting people. You're hurting yourself.

FAITH: But that's not it. That's not what bothers you so much. What bugs you is you know I'm right. You know in your gut we don't need the law. We *are* the law.

BUFFY: No.

FAITH: Yes. You know exactly what I'm about 'cause you have it in you, too.

BUFFY: No, Faith, you're sick.

FAITH: I've seen it, B. You've got the lust. And I'm not just talking about screwing vampires.

BUFFY: Don't you *dare* bring him into this.

FAITH: It was good, wasn't it? The sex? The danger? Bet a part of you even dug him when he went psycho.

BUFFY: No!

FAITH: See, you need me to toe the line because you're afraid you'll go over it, aren't you, B? You can't handle watching me living my own way, having a blast, because it tempts you! You know it could be you!

(Buffy punches her)

FAITH: There's my girl.

BUFFY: No. I'm not gonna do this.

FAITH: Why not? It feels good. Blood rising.

(Buffy shoves Faith out of the way, gets hit herself, by a pallet of crates)
