Quotes 

• Xander Harris : You think we haven't all seen this before? The part where you just cut us all out, just step away from everything human and act like you're the law? If you knew what I felt...

  Buffy Summers : I killed Angel...! Do you even remember that? I would've given up everything I had to be with... I loved him more than I will ever love anything in this life... and I put a sword through his heart because I had to.

  Willow Rosenberg : And that all worked out okay.

  Buffy Summers : Do you remember cheering me on? Both of you? Do you remember giving me Willow's message? "Kick his ass."

  Willow Rosenberg : I never said that...

  Xander Harris : This is different.

  Buffy Summers : It is always different! It's always complicated. And, at some point, someone has to draw the line and that is *always* going to be me. You-You get down on me for cutting myself off, but, in the end, the Slayer is always cut off. There's no mystical guide book, no all-knowing Council. Human rules *don't* apply... There's only me. I am the law.

  Xander Harris : There has to be another way.

  Buffy Summers : Then please find it.

• Xander Harris : You don't understand. This isn't an intervention. Buffy's coming to kill you.

  Anya : She's coming to try.

  Xander Harris : Did everybody have their "crazy flakes" today?

• D'Hoffryn : I talked to your friend, Miss Rosenberg.

  [to Anya] 

  D'Hoffryn : She's a firebrand. I have high hopes for her.

  Xander Harris : Stay away from Willow.

  D'Hoffryn : Oh, he's gallant, isn't he? I understand what you saw in him.

• Buffy : I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

  Xander : Hopes? Oh, no, no, no, no. There are no hopes. Anya and I are done. I love being single. I'm a strong, successful male who's giddy at the thought of all the women I will no doubt be dating in the near future.

  Buffy : Strong, successful males say "giddy"?

• [last lines] 

  Anya : Xander...

  [Xander stops and turns around] 

  Anya : What if I'm really nobody?

  Xander Harris : Don't be a dope.

  Anya : I'm a dope.

  Xander Harris : Sometimes.

  Anya : Well, that's a start.
