CORDELIA: Why is it every time I go somewhere with you, it always ends in violence and terror?

BUFFY: Welcome to my life.

CORDELIA: I don't wanna be in your life. I wanna be in my life.

BUFFY: Well, there's the door. Please feel free to walk out at any time and live your life.

CORDELIA: All I wanted was to be Homecoming Queen.

BUFFY: And that's all I wanted, too, Cordelia. I spent a year's allowance on this dress.

CORDELIA: I don't even get why you care about Homecoming when you're doing stuff like this.

BUFFY: Because this is all I do. This is what my life is. You couldn't understand. I just thought... Homecoming Queen. I could pick up a yearbook someday and say, I was there. I went to high school, I had friends, and... for one moment, I got to live in the world. And there'd be proof. Proof that I was chosen for something other than this. Besides... (pumps the rifle) I look cute in a tiara.
