Quotes Buffy Summers: 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?
Rupert Giles: Buffy, I...
Buffy Summers: They say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt?
[Angel walks towards her]
Buffy Summers: Don't touch me!... Were you even gonna tell me?
Rupert Giles: I was hoping that I wouldn't have to, that there was some way around it. I...
Buffy Summers: I've got a way around it. I quit.
Rupert Giles: It's not that simple.
Buffy Summers: I'm making it *that* simple. I quit. I resign. I-I'm fired! You can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over.
Rupert Giles: I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the signs indicate...
Buffy Summers: The signs? Read me the signs! Tell me my fortune! You're so useful sitting here with all of your books! You're really a lot of help!
Rupert Giles: No, I don't suppose I am.
Angel: I know this is hard.
Buffy Summers: 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 Summers: I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!
Rupert Giles: Buffy, if the Master rises...
Buffy Summers: I don't care!... I don't care... Giles, I'm 16 years old. I-I don't wanna die.
