BUFFY: You got it?

XANDER: Wait. I?m not to the ?got it? place yet. I?m still in the neighborhood of ?you gotta be kidding?.

BUFFY: You know it?s for the good.

XANDER: I don?t. Buffy, do you get that? If I do this, that?s it for me for this fight. I feel like you?re putting me out to pasture.

BUFFY: Of course I?m not putting you out to pasture. What does that even mean?

XANDER: Well, you know, it?s like? when a cow gets old and loses an eye or its ability to be milked. The farmer takes it and puts it in a different pasture so it won?t have to? fight? with the priests. Look, I don?t need you to protect me.

BUFFY: I?m not.

XANDER: I got hurt but I?m not done. I can still fight.

BUFFY: I know. That?s why I need you to do this. Xander, I need someone that I can count on no matter what happens.

XANDER: I just always thought that I would? that I would be there with you, you know, for the end.

BUFFY: Hey!

XANDER: (covers) Not that this is the end!

BUFFY: Thanks a lot.

XANDER: No, no, no? by ?the end? I meant in a heroic, uplifting way. See I?m still optimistic. You?re just thrown off a little by this gritty-looking eye patch.

BUFFY: (smiles) I know what you meant.

XANDER: I should be at your side. That?s all I?m saying.

BUFFY: You will be. You?re my strength, Xander. You?re the reason I?ve made it this far. I trust you with my life. That?s why I need you to do this for me.

XANDER: (nods) Okay.

BUFFY: Also, you can?t shoot a bow and arrow anymore and every time you pick up a sword, I worry that you?re going to break one of our good lamps.

XANDER: Hey!

BUFFY: (smiles) Don?t look at me. You?re the one who said I?m gonna die.

XANDER: I never said that you were going to die. I implied that you were going to die. It?s totally different.

BUFFY: Yeah, okay. Sure.

XANDER: Besides, if you die, I?ll just bring you back to life. That?s what I do.
