FAITH: What if he was? You're still not seeing the big picture, B. Something made us different. We're warriors. We're built to kill.
BUFFY: To kill demons! But it does *not* mean that we get to pass judgment on people like we're better than everybody else!
FAITH: We *are* better!

Anya: Piano!
Xander: Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time!Xander: No wait, that-that was a rocket launcher. (turns to Anya) Ahn, what are you talking about?
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. Well, it always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment.
