come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Buffy: I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die. from Prophecy Girl (Season 1) | Next Clip in Episode |
BUFFY: (entering the library) Giles, you are not gonna believe this.
GILES: It's clear. It's what's gonna happen. Uh, it's happening now!
BUFFY: (sees Angel) Angel? (ovehears, unseen)
ANGEL: It can't be. You've gotta be wrong.
GILES: I've checked it against all my other volumes. It's very real.
ANGEL: Well, there's gotta be some way around it.
GILES: Listen. Some prophecies are, are a bit dodgy. They're, they're mutable. Buffy herself has, has thwarted them time and time again, but this is the Codex. There is nothing in it that does not come to pass.
ANGEL: Then you're reading it wrong.
GILES: I wish to God I were! But it's very plain! Tomorrow night Buffy will face the Master, and she will die.
ANGEL: Well, have you verified the text?
(Buffy begins to laugh)
BUFFY: So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, next one's called! Wonder who she is. (to Giles) Will you train her? Or will they send someone else?
GILES: Buffy, I...
BUFFY: They say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt?
(Tears are flowing freely from her eyes. Angel tries to hug her, but she puts up her hands and quickly steps away.)
BUFFY: Don't touch me! (to Giles) Were you even gonna tell me?
GILES: I was hoping that I wouldn't have to. That there was... some way around it. I...
BUFFY: I've got a way around it. I quit!
ANGEL: It's not that simple.
BUFFY: I'm making it that simple! I quit! I resign, I-I'm fired, you can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over!
GILES: I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the... the signs indicate...
BUFFY: The signs? (throws a book at him) READ ME THE SIGNS! (throws another one) TELL ME MY FORTUNE! YOU'RE SO USEFUL SITTING HERE WITH ALL YOUR BOOKS! YOU'RE REALLY A LOTTA HELP!
GILES: No, I don't suppose I am.
ANGEL: I know this is hard.
BUFFY: What do you know about this? You're never gonna die!
ANGEL: You think I want anything to happen to you? Do you think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way...
BUFFY: I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!
GILES: Buffy, if the Master rises...
BUFFY: I don't care! (calms down) I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die.
