Girl is running on pure fury. I've never felt anything like it.

Willow absorbs all the magic at the Magic Box and saves Buffy. She then goes after Warren.

You were a legendary dark warrior and you let yourself be castrated.

Warren: This... isn't the Evil Laugh of Victory - is it?

Vampire: More like the evil laugh of "You're a dead man."

Xander: And can I just ask, what's with the Make-Over of the Damned? I mean, the hair...!

Rack: What were you -- a band or something?

Buffy: Being a slayer doesn't give me a license to kill. Warren's human.
Dawn: So?
Buffy: So the human world has its own rules for dealing with people like him--
Xander: Yeah, we all know how well those rules work.
Buffy: Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. We can't control the universe. If we were supposed to, then the magic wouldn't change Willow the way it does. And we'd be able to bring Tara back...
Dawn: And mom.

Buffy: There are limits to what we can do. There should be.

Willow: Please, please, bring her back!
Osiris: You may not violate the laws of natural passing--
Willow: How? How is this natural?
Osiris: It is a human death, by human means.

  • Hypocrite: Buffy displays signs of this in regards to how wrong she thinks killing Warren is; after everything he had done, and her desire to kill Faith for her actions regardless of how it tore Buffy and Angel apart.
    • Buffy wanted Faith to go to jail. The desire to kill is something else.
  • Incredibly Lame Pun: Willow yanks Warren's axe out of her back and says, "Axe -- not going to cut it."
  • Jumping Off the Slippery Slope

Buffy: Willow, if you do this, you let Warren destroy you too.
Xander: You said it yourself, Will -- the magic's too strong, there's no coming back from it.

Willow: I'm not coming back.

Willow: Run all night, Warren. I'll still find-- (Warren plants an axe in her back)

Warren: It - it was an accident, you know.
Willow: Oh. You mean, instead of killing my best friend you killed my girlfriend?
Warren: It wasn't personal, that's all.

Willow: Well this is.

Rack: If I were you, I'd be worried about the witch.
Warren: Witch? Which witch?

Willow: You never felt you had the power with her [Katrina]. Not until you killed her.
Warren: Women. You know, you're just like the rest of them. Mind games.
Willow: You get off on it. That's why you had a mad-on for the Slayer. She was your big O, wasn't she, Warren?

Jonathan: Face it, NO ONE cares enough to come for us.
