- [after meeting Cordelia]
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: My... She's... cheeky, isn't she?
- Faith: Uh, first word "jail," second word "bait."
- 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.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Does everybody know about you?
- Buffy Summers: She's a friend.
- Cordelia Chase: Let's not exaggerate.
- [the Mayor is shredding papers in a shredder]
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: It's not working.
- Mr. Trick: It's supposed to do something besides shred?
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: Richard Wilkins: It's supposed to cheer me up. Usually using the shredder give me a lift. It's fun.
- Mr. Trick: And today you're not getting the ya-yas.
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: No... Guess it'll take more than this to turn my frown upside down. I just don't understand why Allan would such a paper trail about our dealings... Do you think he was going to betray me? Oh, now, that's a horrible thought. And now he's dead, I'll never have the chance to scold him.
- Rupert Giles: No, I-I don't see it, Xander. I mean, of... of all of us, you're the one person arguably that Faith has had the least contact with.
- Xander Harris: Yeah, but we hung out a little... recently, and she seemed to be, um... responsive.
- Buffy Summers: When did you guys hang out?
- Xander Harris: Oh, she was fighting one of those, uh, apocalypse demon things and I helped her. Gave her a ride home.
- Buffy Summers: And you guys talked?
- Xander Harris: Not extensively, no.
- Buffy Summers: They why would you...
- [realizes]
- Buffy Summers: Oh.
- Rupert Giles: [also realizing] Oh!
- [everybody looks at Willow]
- Willow Rosenberg: I don't need to say "oh." I got it before... They slept together.
- [about trying to help Faith accept what she's done]
- Angel: It's like talking to a wall. Only you get more from a wall.
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, maybe we should all talk to Faith together.
- Buffy Summers: You mean, like that intervention thing that you guys did on me? As I recall, Xander and I nearly came to blows.
- Xander Harris: You nearly came to blows, Buffy. I nearly came to loss of limbs.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I say it merits investigation.
- Rupert Giles: Which I'm sure the police are doing. Meantime, if you ask me, there are better uses for the Slayer's time.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Ah. But I don't believe I did... ask you.
- Cordelia Chase: [entering the library] Don't let me interrupt. Wait. Let me interrupt. I'm in a hurry.
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: Well, this is exciting. A Slayer up for murder one... That's sunshine and roses to me. It really is.
- [chuckles]
- [last lines]
- Faith: You sent your boy to kill me.
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: That's right, I did.
- Faith: He's dust.
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: I thought he might be, what with *you* standing here and all.
- Faith: I... guess that means you have a job opening.
- [first lines]
- T.V. News Reporter: [on TV] Fishermen discovered the body today, the victim of a brutal stabbing. Authorities and citizens alike were shocked when the slain man was identified as Deputy Mayor Allan Finch. Still reeling from the news, Mayor Wilkins had this to say.
- Mayor Richard Wilkins: [on TV] Mr. Finch was not only my longtime aide and associate, he was a close personal friend. I promise you I will not rest until whoever did this is found and brought to justice. Thank you very much.
