Buffy: wish for a better world; I have to live in this one from The Wish (Season 3) | Next Clip in Episode |
GILES: Ah! Ah! Ah! Yes! Here. 'In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her powercenter. This should reverse all the wishes she's granted, rendering her mortal and powerless again.' You see? Without her powercenter, she'd j-just be a-a-an ordinary woman again, and all this would be, um... well, different. Well, I'd say that my, my Watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.
BUFFY: (unimpresssed) Great. What's her powercenter?
GILES: Um, well, um, um... It doesn't say.
BUFFY: Why don't I just put a stake through her heart?
GILES: She's not a vampire.
BUFFY: Mm, well, you'd be surprised how many things that'll kill.
GILES: I don't want to kill her, Miss Summers. I want to reverse whatever effect she's had on this, this... world.
BUFFY: You're taking an awful lot on faith here, Jeeves.
GILES: Giles.
BUFFY: (shrugs) Kill the bad fairy... destroy the bad fairy's powercenter, whatever, and all the troubles go away?
GILES: Yeah, well, I'm sure it's not that simple, but...
BUFFY: (interrupts) World is what it is. We fight. We die. Wishing doesn't change that.
GILES: I have to believe in a better world.
BUFFY: Go ahead. I have to live in this one.
