come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Faith to Buffy: never felt so alone as I did leading in your place from End of Days (Season 7) | Next Clip in Episode |
BUFFY: You feel it, too, don?t you?
FAITH:(holding scythe) Damn? and damn. That?s something.
BUFFY: I know.
FAITH: It?s old? it?s strong and it feels like? like it?s mine. (realizes) I guess that means it?s yours.
BUFFY: It belongs to the Slayer.
FAITH: Slayer in charge? which I?m guessing is you.
BUFFY: I honestly don?t know. Does it matter?
FAITH: It never mattered to me. Somebody has to lead. Let?s vote for Chao-ahn. It?s harder to lead people into a deathtrap if you don?t speak English.
BUFFY: It wasn?t your fault.
FAITH: I?m really not looking for forgiveness.
BUFFY: You?re not?
FAITH: What do you want me to say? I blew it.
BUFFY: You didn?t blow it.
FAITH: Tell that to?
BUFFY: People die. You lead them into battle, they?re going to die. It doesn?t matter how ready you are or how smart you are? war is about death. Needless, stupid death.
FAITH: So here?s the laugh riot. My whole life I?ve been a loner.
BUFFY: Is that the funny part? Did I miss something?
FAITH: I?m trying to?
BUFFY: Sorry! Sorry. Go.
FAITH: No ties, no buddies, no relationships that lasted longer than? well, Robin lasted pretty long. Boy?s got stamina.
BUFFY: Principal Wood? And you? And in my?
FAITH: Don?t tell me you two got wriggly?
BUFFY: No! No, we?re just good friends? or mortal enemies depending on which day of the? (sighs) Was that the funny part?
FAITH: Okay, the point. Me, by myself, all the time. I?m looking at you, everything you have and, I don?t know? jealous. Then there I am, everybody?s looking to me, trusting me to lead them and I?ve never felt so alone in my entire life.
BUFFY: Yeah.
FAITH: And that?s you, every day. Isn?t it?
BUFFY: I love my friends. I?m very grateful for them. But that?s the price of being a Slayer.
FAITH: There?s only supposed to be one. Maybe that?s why you and I can never get along. We?re not supposed to exist together.
BUFFY: Also, you went evil and were killing people.
FAITH: Good point. Also a factor.
BUFFY: But you?re right. I mean, I guess everyone?s alone but being a Slayer? There?s a burden we can?t share.
FAITH: And no one else can feel it. (beat) Thank god we?re hot chicks with superpowers.
BUFFY: Takes the edge off.
FAITH: Comforting.
BUFFY: Mm-hmm.
