FAITH: Me, by myself all the time, and looking at you, everything you have, and I don't know... Jealous. And then there I am, everybody looking to me, trusting me to lead 'em... and I never felt more alone in my life.
BUFFY: Yeah.
FAITH: And that's you every day, isn't it?
BUFFY: I love my friends, and I'm grateful for them, but yeah, that's the price. Being the Slayer.
FAITH: There's only supposed to be one. Maybe that's why you and I can never get along. We're not supposed to exist together.
BUFFY: Also, you went evil and were killing people.
FAITH (nodding, thoughtful): Good point. Also a factor.
BUFFY: But you're right. I mean, I guess everyone's alone, but... Being a Slayer. There's a burden we can't share.
FAITH: And no one else can feel it.
Beat.
FAITH (cont'd): Thank god we're hot chicks with super powers.
