come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Dawn: saying weird things about me from Listening to Fear (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
(Dawn's room)
DAWN: (teary) She hates me.
BUFFY: No.
DAWN: She called me a thing.
BUFFY: She loves you. Okay? She's not herself. I told you what the doctor said about the tumor.
DAWN: No, not just Mom. People. They keep saying weird stuff about me.
BUFFY: Are you talking about the man in the hospital?
DAWN: He called me a thing too. And there was another one. Weird guy outside the magic shop. He said I didn't belong. He said I wasn't real. Why does everybody keep doing that? What's wrong with me?
BUFFY: Nothing. It's not you. I think there's something that happens in people's brains when there's something wrong. It's, it's like a short-circuit ... and it makes them feel like nothing's real except for them. That's all it is.
(Dawn looks unconvinced.)
BUFFY: Look, it is not you. Okay? And if anyone says anything like that to you again, don't listen. Even if it's Mom.
DAWN: (softly) I hate it.
BUFFY: I know. Just don't listen.
