come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Holtz to Wesley: I'll give you one day. You may not trust me, but I trust you to do what's right. from Sleep Tight (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
WESLEY: I don't wanna see anyone get hurt. Your soldiers - or mine.
HOLTZ: I share your hatred of violence, Mr. Wyndham-Pryce and I've meted out a good deal less of it in my lifetime than Angelus has in his.
WESLEY: *Angel*
HOLTZ: Whatever you wish to call him. I will never agree that he has somehow been absolved from the past by the presence of his soul.
JUSTINE: He's a vampire. End of discussion. And I'd bet you a dollar this one's here to stab us in the back.
(Wes just looks at her as she threatens him with the knife.)
WESLEY: Who did you lose?
JUSTINE: What?
WESLEY: You're here in Holtz' army - ready to kill others, die for the cause. You must have lost someone very important to you.
JUSTINE: That's none of your business.
HOLTZ: Her twin sister Julia was murdered by vampires.
WESLEY: You lost family. I'm sorry. Angel and the people I work with are *my* family - and when I say I don't want to see anyone to get hurt...
(He grabs a hold of Justine's knife hand and twists her around against him, grabbing her throat with his other hand.)
WESLEY: ...I mostly mean them. But I don't stab people in the back.
HOLTZ: You're an honest man. (Takes the knife) I trust you.
(Wes lets Justine go and she spins away to stand behind Holtz.)
HOLTZ: And you can trust me.
WESLEY: It's funny. I don't.
HOLTZ: Well, your problem isn't me right now. Your problem is, your friend is going to kill his own child. You know you have to do something about it. You know if you don't, I will. Don't misunderstand me. I won't stand by while an innocent child is murdered - but I won't attack and endanger other innocent lives unless I'm forced to.
WESLEY: How long do I have?
HOLTZ: I'll give you one day. You may not trust me, but I trust you to do what's right. One day. After that... - *everyone* will get hurt.
