come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Dawn: Ben's a monster. At least Glory's up front about it. from The Gift (Season 5) | Next Clip in Episode |
(warehouse. Ben approaches Dawn with a gown.)
BEN: They, uh ... said you have to put this on ... for the ceremony.
DAWN: What if I don't?
BEN: Come on, just-
DAWN: What if I don't like the color?
BEN: Look, I... I wish there was another way.
DAWN: And I wish you'd fall on your head and drown in your own barf, so I guess we're both disappointed.
BEN: I think... it'll be quick.
MINION: Actually, sir, the bleeding is quite a slow process, to give the portal time to --
BEN: Thank you. For the information. (to Dawn) I'll do what I can to --
DAWN: Change.
BEN: What?
DAWN: Change. Be her. I don't wanna look at you!
BEN: Dawn, I don't think you wanna --
DAWN: Be Glory! Be Glory! Glory! GLORY! GLORY!

It's gotta be Ben.
DAWN: Or maybe you just can't take her.
GLORY: Funny thing... you've been here for a few hours now and I haven't seen big sis galloping in to save you. She probably knows what a terrible mistake that'd be.
DAWN: She's not afraid of you.
GLORY: Oh, no, sweetie baby, I'm talking about the ritual. 'Cause you know, I bleed you, the portals open, but once you die, they close. The faster you die, the better for your sorry species. I'm bettin' Buffy knows that. And since your not really her sister I'm guessing she isn't gonna show. And if she does... it might not be to save you.
(Glory shoves Dawn aside. She falls to the floor on top of a grating. Glory smirks at her.)
DAWN: (whispering) Buffy...
