Buffy: I need to talk to you.

Willow: Good. 'Cause I've been letting things fester. And I don't like it. I wanna be fester-free.

Buffy: Yeah. Me, too.

Willow: I mean, don't get me wrong. I-I completely understand why you and Faith have been doing the bonding thing. You guys
work together. You... You should get along.

Buffy: It's more complicated than that.

Willow: But, see, it's that exact thing that-that's just ticking me off! It's this whole 'Slayers only' attitude. I mean, since when wouldn't I understand? You, you talk to me about *everything*. I-it's like all of a sudden I-I'm not cool enough for you because I can't kill things with my bare hands.

(Buffy suddenly bursts into tears.)

Willow: Oh! Oh, Buffy! Don't cry. I'm sorry. I-I was too hard on you. Sometimes I unleash. I-I don't know my own strength. I-i-it's bad. I-I-I'm bad. I'm a bad, bad, bad person. - from 'Consequences'
