"I was your Watcher, Faith. I know the real you - and even if you kill me, there is just one thing I want you to remember."

"What's that, love?"

"You - are a piece of sh.."

"You should talk, huh?"

"Did you ever wonder if things would have been different - if we'd never met. What if you'd had Buffy - and Giles would have been my Watcher?
You think you'd still be here right now? Or would Giles be sitting in that chair? Or is it just like fate. You know, there is no choice.  You were gonna be here no matter what. You think about that stuff? Fate - and destiny.

I don't.

Not that any of this is your own fault. But since this may be the last chance we will have to unload on each other, I feel that it is kind of my duty to tell you that if you'd been a better Watcher, I might have been a more positive role model! Face it, Wesley, you really were a jerk. Always walking around as if you had some great big stake rammed up your English Channel.

... I think I want to hear you scream."

"You never will."

"... Admit it, Wesley, didn't you always kind of have the hots for me?"

Yesssss. This.

(Her hand in his hair on the last one. Without the knife, so sexual and possessive. Hell, with the knife possibly both anyway.)
