Willow: Bored now.
| The Master: You killed the girl who sought the Slayer?
Xander: It was too easy.
Willow: I felt cheap.
| Oz: So Cordelia wished for something? Well, if it was a long, healthy life, she should get her money back.
| Buffy: 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.
| The Master: Some have argued that such an advancement goes against our nature. They claim that death is our art. I say to them - well, I don't say anything to them because I killed them.
| Angel: What's the plan?
Buffy: (hands him a stake) Don't fall on this.
| Anyanka: You trusting fool! How do you know the other world is any better than this?
