Buffy: Okay, one more time. You're the who?!
Kendra: I'm the Slayer.
Buffy: Nice cover story. But here's a tip: you might wanna try it on someone who's not the real Slayer.
Kendra: You can't stop me! Even if you kill me, another Slayer will be sent to take my place.

WARREN: She won't feel a thing. Just do it. Fast. (on screen) Cut her deep. Cut her quick. It'll be over before she knows what hit her.
ANDREW: What if she squeals?
WARREN: Uh, better go for her throat first.
ANDREW: Babe 2: Pig in the City was really underrated.
WARREN: Don't think about Babe.
ANDREW: Right.
WARREN: You're Conan. You're the destroyer. It's you against nature. You're the hunter, you're primal, you live off the land. You're Andrew. Everyone knows you. You play by your own rules. It's kill or be killed.
ANDREW: That'll do, pig!
