Cordelia: Don't let me interrupt. Wait. Let me interrupt. I'm in a hurry.
Faith: Uh, first word: jail; second word: bait.
Faith: So, you gonna rat me out? Is that it?
Buffy: Faith, we have to tell. I can't pretend to investigate this. I can't pretend that I don't know.
Faith: Oh, I see. But you can pretend that Angel's still dead when you need to protect him.
Buffy: I am trying to protect you. Look, f we don't do the right thing, it's only gonna make things worse for you.
Faith: Worse than jail for the rest of my young life? No way!
Buffy: Faith, what we did was...
Faith: Yeah. We. You were right there beside me when this whole thing went down. Anything I have to answer for, you do, too. You're a part of this, B. All the way.
Mayor Wilkins: It's not working.
Trick: It's supposed to do something besides shred?
Mayor Wilkins: It's supposed to cheer me up. Usually using the shredder gives me a lift. It's fun.
Trick: And today you're not getting the ya-yas.
Mayor Wilkins: No.
Mayor Wilkins: Well, this is exciting. A Slayer up for Murder One. That's sunshine and roses to me. It really is.
Faith: So the Mayor of Sunnydale is a Black Hat. That's a shocker, huh?
Buffy: Actually, yeah. I didn't get the bad guy vibe off of him.
Faith: When are you gonna learn, B? It doesn't matter what kind of vibe you get off a person. 'Cause nine times out of ten, the face they're showing you is not the real one.
Buffy: I guess you know a lot about that.
Faith: What is that supposed to mean?
Buffy: It's just, look at you, Faith. Less than twenty-four hours ago, you killed a man. A-and now it's all zip-a-dee-doo-dah? It's not your real face, and I know it. Look, I know what you're feeling because I'm feeling it, too.
Faith: Do you? So fill me in 'cause I'd like to hear this.
Buffy: Dirty. Like something sick creeped inside you and you can't get it out. And you keep hoping that it was just some nightmare, but it wasn't. And we are gonna have to figure out...
Faith: Is there gonna be an intermission in this?
Buffy: Just let me talk to Giles, okay? I swear...
Faith: No! We're not bringing anybody else into this. You gotta keep your head, B. This is all gonna blow over in a few days.
Buffy: And if it doesn't?
Faith: If it doesn't, they got a freighter leaving the docks at least twice a day. It ain't fancy, but it gets you gone.
Buffy: And that's it? You just live with it? You see the dead guy in your head every day for the rest of your life?
Faith: Buffy, I'm not gonna see anything. I missed the mark last night and I'm sorry about the guy. I really am! But it happens! Anyway, how many people do you think we've saved by now, thousands? And didn't you stop the world from ending? Because in my book, that puts you and me in the plus column.
Buffy: We help people! It doesn't mean we can do whatever we want.
Faith: Why not? The guy I offed was no Gandhi. I mean, we just saw he was mixed up in dirty dealings.
Buffy: Maybe, but what if he was coming to us for help?
Faith: What if he was? You're still not seeing the big picture, B. Something made us different. We're warriors. We're built to kill.
Buffy: To kill demons! But it does not mean that we get to pass judgment on people like we're better than everybody else!
Faith: We are better!
Faith: That's right, better. People need us to survive. In the balance, nobody's gonna cry over some random bystander who got caught in the crossfire.
Buffy: I am.
Faith: Well, that's your loss.
Buffy: It's not all her fault, Giles. We both thought it was a vampire. I only realized it a second before.
Giles: Buffy, this is not the first time something like this has happened.
Buffy: It's not?
Giles: The Slayer is on the front line of a nightly war. Now, it's tragic, but accidents have happened.
Buffy: What do you do?
Giles: Well, the Council investigates, um, metes out punishment, if punishment is due. But I... I have no plans to involve them. I mean, it's the last thing Faith needs at the moment. She's unstable, Buffy. I mean, she's utterly unable to accept responsibility.
Buffy: She's freaking. So, so then we just have to help her deal, right?
Giles: She's in denial. There is no help for her until she admits what happened.
Faith: I know what this is all about. You just came by here 'cause you want another taste, don't you?
Xander: No! I mean, it was nice. It was great. It was kind of a blur. But, okay, some day, sure, yay, but not now. Not like this.
Faith: More like how then? Lights on or off? Kinks or vanilla?
Faith: Finally decided to tie me up, huh? I always knew you weren't really a one-Slayer guy.
Angel: I'm sorry about the chains. It's not that I don't trust you... Actually, it is that I don't trust you.
Faith: The thing with Xander; I know what it looked like, but we were just playing.
Angel: And he forgot the safety word. Is that it?
Faith: Safety words are for wusses.
Angel: I bet you're not big on trust games, now, are you, Faith?
Faith: You gonna shrink me now? Is that it?
Angel: No, I just wanna talk to you.
Faith: That's what they all say. And then it's just, 'Lemme stay the night. Won't try anything.'
Angel: You wanna go the long way around, hey, I can do that. I'm not getting any older.
Angel: Look, I don't want you to get your hopes up, Buffy. She may not want us to help her.
Buffy: She does. She just doesn't know how to say it.
Angel: She killed a man. That changes everything for her.
Buffy: Giles said with counseling, they might not even need to lock her up.
Angel: That's not what I mean. She's taken a life.
Buffy: I know.
Angel: She's got a taste for it now.
Angel: I know what's goin' on with you.
Faith: Join the club. Everybody seems to have a theory.
Angel: Hmm. But I know what it's like to take a life. To feel a future, a world of possibilities, snuffed out by your own hand. I know the power in it. The exhilaration. It was like a drug for me.
Faith: Yeah? Sounds like you need some help. A professional maybe.
Angel: Hmm. A professional couldn't have helped me. It stopped when I got my soul back. My human heart.
Faith: Goody for you. If we're gonna party, let's get on with it. Otherwise, could you let me out of these things?
Angel: Faith, you have a choice. You've tasted something few ever do. I mean, to kill without remorse is to feel like a god.
Faith: Right now, all I feel is a cramp in my wrist, so let me go!
Angel: But you're not a god. You're not much more than a child. Going down this path will ruin you. You can't imagine the price for true evil.
Faith: Yeah? I hope evil takes MasterCard.
Angel: You and me, Faith, we're a lot alike. Time was, I thought humans existed just to hurt each other. But then I came here. And I found out that there are other types of people. People who genuinely wanted to do right. And they make mistakes. And they fall down. You know, but they keep caring. Keep trying. If you can trust us, Faith, this can all change. You don't have to disappear into the darkness.
Faith: Scares you, doesn't it?
Buffy: Yeah, it scares me. Faith, you're hurting people. You're hurting yourself.
Faith: But that's not it. That's not what bothers you so much. What bugs you is you know I'm right. You know in your gut we don't need the law. We are the law.
Buffy: No.
Faith: Yes. You know exactly what I'm about 'cause you have it in you, too.
Buffy: No, Faith, you're sick.
Faith: I've seen it, B. You've got the lust. And I'm not just talking about screwing vampires.
Buffy: Don't you dare bring him into this.
Faith: It was good, wasn't it? The sex? The danger? Bet a part of you even dug him when he went psycho.
Buffy: No!
Faith: See, you need me to toe the line because you're afraid you'll go over it, aren't you, B? You can't handle watching me living my own way, having a blast, because it tempts you! You know it could be you!
Faith: There's my girl.
Buffy: No. I'm not gonna do this.
Faith: Why not? It feels good. Blood rising.
Trick: I hear once you've tasted a Slayer, you never wanna go back.
Faith: You sent your boy to kill me.
Mayor Wilkins: That's right, I did.
Faith: He's dust.
Mayor Wilkins: I thought he might be. What with you standing here and all.
Faith: I guess that means you have a job opening.
