Buffy Quote of the Day
From: "End of Days"
ANDREW: (sighs) So how come you're here? I mean, you could just go. Right?
ANYA: Yeah. I did once before.
ANDREW: Before what?
ANYA: Well...there was this other apocalypse... this one time, and... well, I took off. But this time, I don't...I don't know.
ANDREW: (sighs) Well...what's different?
ANYA: Well...I guess I was...kinda new to bein' around humans before. But now I've... seen a lot more, gotten to know people... seen what they're capable of, and... (shrugs) I guess I just realized...how amazingly screwed-up they all are. I mean really, really screwed-up in a monumental fashion.
ANDREW: Oh. (nods)
ANYA: And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die...which they...they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane. And yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting, but they do. They never... never quit. So I guess I will keep fighting, too.
ANDREW: (sighs) That was kind of beautiful. (Anya nods) You...you love humans.
ANYA: (indignant) I do not.
ANDREW: Yes, you do. You loooove them
ANYA: Stop it! I don't love them! And I'll kill you if you tell anybody.
ANDREW: I won't tell anybody. Won't get a chance to, anyway.
ANYA: I don't know. You might survive.
ANDREW: No, you might survive. You know how to handle a weapon, and you've been in this world for, like, a thousand years. I'm not so... (sighs) I don't think I'll be OK. I'm cool with it. I think I'd like to...finish out as one of those... lame humans tryin' to do what's right. (smiles)
ANYA: Yeah. (nods)
ANDREW: (sighs) So how come you're here? I mean, you could just go. Right?
ANYA: Yeah. I did once before.
