Joyce: Oh, I hate this. I hate your life.
Buffy: Mom, I...
Joyce: Look, I-I know you didn't choose this, I know it chose you.
(takes a breath) I have tried to march in the 'Slayer Pride' parade, but...
(very solemn) I don't want you to die.
Buffy lowers her eyes, shakes her head and gives her mother a warm hug.
Joyce: Oh...
Buffy: I'm not gonna die. I know how to do my job.

~~Faith, Hope, and Trick~~
