come wander through the BuffyVerse...| Cordelia to Groo: I can't give up my visions. They're an honor. from There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb (Season 2) | Next Clip in Episode |
GROO: I disobeyed the Covenant. I shall spend eternity burning in Tarkna for my sin.
CORDELIA: Oh, who believes a literal Tarkna nowadays?
GROO: It was worth it for one moment of your intimate touch.
CORDELIA: That was an accident. I-it was kind of dark and - oh - you mean the hug. When I hugged you. That was nice. Where were we? Oh, yeah, the nut-cake clergy guys. They *need* someone to disobey them. They're evil and they run an evil regime.
GROO: It's not my duty to question authority.
CORDELIA: Hold on there. You're groosalug, the brave and undefeated champion, if it's not your duty to fight evil than I don't know what is.

CORDELIA: Absorb them?
GROO: Your visions shall pass to me.
CORDELIA: Ugh! I *knew* there was a catch! - You can't take my visions! I need them! I-I use them to help my friends fight evil back home!
GROO: And I will use them here to fight evil, just as you have done.
CORDELIA: Groo - I can't give up my visions. - I *like* them. Okay, I don't like the searing pain and agony that is steadily getting worse.
GROO: You are pure human. - You are not meant to carry such a burden.
CORDELIA: Maybe not. - But I'm not ready to give them up either. - They're a part of who I am now. They're an honor. And you know - the visions, they only last for like a... (A vision hits her: blurry images of Groo on the ground, a growling beast on top of him.) No. No.
