Quotes 

• 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 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.

  Xander Harris : [to Paramedic]  She's in the back. This way.
