- Warren Meers: I did wrong! I see that now. I need, I need... jail! I need... But you, you don't want this. You're-You're not a bad person, not like me.
- Buffy Summers: [approaching from a distance] Willow!
- Warren Meers: Oh, and when you get caught, you'll lose them, too. Your friends... You don't want that. I know you're in pain, but...
- Willow Rosenberg: Bored now.
- [with a hand gesture, she flays Warren alive]
- [Willow appears before Warren making him stop]
- Warren Meers: [gasps] That's cute. That's a cute trick.
- [Willow begins walking towards Warren who begins backing away]
- Warren Meers: It was an accident, you know.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh, so you mean instead of killing my *best* friend, Buffy, you happened to kill my *girlfriend*?
- Warren Meers: It... It wasn't personal, that's all.
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, this is.
- Buffy Summers: [sighing] We need to find Willow.
- Xander Harris: Yeah. She's really off the wagon, big time... Warren's a dead man if she finds him.
- Dawn Summers: Good.
- Buffy Summers: Dawn, don't say that.
- Dawn Summers: Why not...? I'd do it myself if I could.
- Buffy Summers: Because you don't really feel that way.
- Dawn Summers: Yes, I do. And you should too. He killed Tara, and he nearly killed you... He needs to pay!
- Xander Harris: [nods with approval] Out of the mouths of babes.
- Buffy Summers: Xander.
- Xander Harris: I'm just saying he's... he's just as bad as any vampire you've sent to dustville.
- Buffy Summers: Being a Slayer doesn't give me a license to kill... Warren's human.
- Dawn Summers: So?
- Buffy Summers: So the human world has its own rules for dealing with people like him.
- Xander Harris: Yeah, we all know how well those rules work.
- Buffy Summers: Sometimes they do... Sometimes they don't... We can't control the universe. If we were supposed to... then the magic wouldn't change Willow the way it does... And... we'd be able to bring Tara back.
- Dawn Summers: And Mom.
- Buffy Summers: There are limits to what we can do. There *should* be. Willow doesn't wanna believe that and now she's messing with forces that wanna hurt her... all of us.
- Xander Harris: I just... I've had blood on my hands all day... Blood from people I love.
- Buffy Summers: I know... And now it has to stop... Warren's going to get what he deserves, I promise! But I will *not* let Willow destroy herself.
- Buffy Summers: How'd I get here?
- Xander Harris: You gotta stop doing this. This dying thing's funny once, maybe twice.
- [Willow conjurers an image of Katrina]
- Katrina Silber: [to Warren] How could you say you loved me and do that to me?
- Warren Meers: [shouts] Because you deserved it, bitch!
- [image vanishes]
- Willow Rosenberg: Because you liked it.
- Warren Meers: Oh, shut up!
- Willow Rosenberg: You never felt you had the power with her, not until you killed her.
- Warren Meers: [nasty laugh] Women. You know, you're just like the rest of 'em. Mind games.
- Willow Rosenberg: You get off on it. That's why you had a mad-on for the Slayer. She was your big "O", wasn't she, Warren?
- Warren Meers: Are you done yet or can we talk some more about our feelings?
- [Willow has just told Buffy and Xander that Tara was killed by Warren]
- Buffy Summers: Look, Willow, please, just stop. We love you, and Tara. But we *don't* kill humans. It's not the way.
- Willow Rosenberg: How can you say that? Tara is dead.
- Buffy Summers: I know, I know. And I can't understand anything. Not what happened, a-and not what you must be going through... Willow, if you do this, you let Warren destroy you, too.
- Xander Harris: You said it yourself, Wil. The magic's too strong. There's no coming back from it.
- Willow Rosenberg: I'm not coming back.
- Buffy Summers: Wil, please. Please, we'll get through this together!
- Willow Rosenberg: We won't. Not your way.
- Buffy Summers: Please, just...
- Willow Rosenberg: No! No more talking. It's done.
- Rack: You're new.
- Warren Meers: Yeah. I come bearing dead Presidents, so you think we can skip the small talk?
- Rack: How'd you find me?
- Warren Meers: I talked to a guy... He's one of your regulars. Offered to show me the way for 20 bucks.
- Rack: Should have haggled. Most of my customers'll bring you here for five.
- Warren Meers: Great. Great. I'll-I'll file that away. Look, I'm in a bit of a situation here. I tried to do us all a favor and eliminate the Slayer, but, it... I- I guess it didn't take.
- Rack: Killin' a Slayer. That's big business for a kid.
- Warren Meers: I'm not a kid.
- Rack: Okay.
- Warren Meers: I have my own guys. The Trio. Yeah, you've heard of us.
- Rack: Right. What were you, a band or something?
- Warren Meers: Look, I thought this was a cash-for-a-service gig, all right, not an interview process, all right. I need protection! I've got the Slayer after me!
- Rack: The Slayer is the least of your problems.
- Warren Meers: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. Let's talk about my skin troubles. You know, I'd say on a scale of problems, that she ranks.
- Rack: If I were you, I'd worry about the witch.
- Warren Meers: Witch? Wh-Which witch?
- Rack: Willow... The Slayer's pal. She's the new power, man. Anybody with intuition can feel it. She's gonna blow this town apart... startin'... with you.
- [last lines]
- Buffy Summers: What did you do...? Willow, what did you do?
- [Willow incinerates the body]
- Buffy Summers: One down.
- [disappears]
- [after Warren tries to kill Willow by slamming an axe into her back]
- Willow Rosenberg: [pulls the axe out] Axe not gonna cut it.
- Warren Meers: This isn't the evil laugh of victory, is it?
- Vampire: More like the evil laugh of "you're a dead man."
