Posting GBQ's from Prophecy Girl today. This episode is the first time that Buffy died. It is an incredibly good episode and it's one of my favorites. Sarah Michelle Gellar just blows me away with her acting.
Buffy-"So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, next one's called! Wonder who she is. Will you train her? Or will they send someone else?"
Giles-"Buffy, I..."
Buffy-"They say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt?" (Angel reaches for her) "Don't touch me! Were you even gonna tell me?"
Giles-"I was hoping that I wouldn't have to. That there was... some way around it. I..."
Buffy-"I've got a way around it. I quit!"
Angel-"It's not that simple."
Buffy-"I'm making it that simple! I quit! I resign, I'm fired, you can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over!"
Giles: "I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the signs indicate..."
Buffy-"The signs?" (throws books at him) "READ ME THE SIGNS! TELL ME MY FORTUNE! YOU'RE SO USEFUL SITTING HERE WITH ALL YOUR BOOKS! YOU'RE REALLY A LOTTA HELP!"
Giles-"No, I don't suppose I am."
Angel-"I know this is hard."
Buffy-"What do you know about this? You're never gonna die!"
Angel-"You think I want anything to happen to you? Do you think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way..."
Buffy-"I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!"
Giles-"Buffy, if the Master rises..."
Buffy-"I don't care! I don't care. Giles, I'm sixteen years old. I don't wanna die."
Ms. Calendar-"You fight the Master, and you'll die."
Buffy-"Maybe. Maybe I'll take him with me."
The Master(to Buffy)-"You tried. It was noble of you. You heard the prophecy that I was about to break free and you came to stop me. But prophecies are tricky creatures. They don't tell you everything. You're the one that sets me free! If you hadn't come, I couldn't go. Think about that!"
The Master-"You're dead!"
Buffy-"I may be dead but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you."
Buffy-"So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One Slayer dies, next one's called! Wonder who she is. Will you train her? Or will they send someone else?"
