MAYOR: Hmm. You know what I wish? I wish you'd pull your hair back. I know, I know, fashion's not exactly my thing, but, gosh darn it, you know, you've got such a nice face. I can't understand why you hide it.

FAITH: Yeah, sure. Whatever. It's just a matter of time before this demon guy is gonna spill. Then Buffy and the superfriends are gonna...

MAYOR: You know, you worry too much for a girl for your age. That's unnecessary stress. Luckily, I've got just the thing.

FAITH: And if Buffy gets to him first?
