ANYA: But... But I...

D'Hoffryn: Your powers were a gift of the lower beings. You have proved unworthy of them.

ANYA: I was robbed of them.

D'Hoffryn: By your carelessness.

ANYA: For a thousand years I wielded the powers of The Wish. I brought ruin to the heads of unfaithful men. I brought forth destruction and chaos for the pleasure of the lower beings.

D'Hoffryn: This is no concern of ours. You will live out your mortal life and die.

ANYA: Give me another chance. You can fold the fabric of time. Send me back to that place and I'll change it. I won't fail again.

D'Hoffryn: Your time is passed.
