BUFFY: A lost mission. I mean, a hairbrush I can understand. And by the way, I will find that and get that back to you. But how do you lose a mission?

WILLOW: Huge earthquake in 1812. Everyone just assumed the mission was leveled. Instead, they built right over it. It's like what happened in the thirties with that church the master was in. Doesn't it make you wonder what else is there, like, right under our feet?

BUFFY: Mostly, I've just found sewers full of demons.

WILLOW: Oh, right.

Quentin: We're not in the business of fair, Miss Summers, we're fighting a war.
GILES: You're *waging* a war. She's fighting it. There is a difference.
Quentin: Mr. Giles, if you don't mind...
GILES: The test is done. We're finished.
Quentin: Not quite. She passed. You didn't. The Slayer is not the only one who must perform in this situation. I've recommended to the Council, and they've agreed, that you be relieved of your duties as Watcher immediately. You're fired.

~~Helpless (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 3, Episode 12)~~
