Although this is an extremely long quote, I had
to include it because when I saw it I thought it was unbelievably powerful.
Imagine being told you will die. Scary, isn't it?

this is not about looking at a bunch of animals. This is about not being

I'm putting my life on the line, battling the undead! Look, I broke a nail,

spiders. Willow's been kinda...what's the word I'm looking for...insane
about what happened yesterday."

I'm sure that your computer science class is fascinating, but I happen

Buffy: "Oh, so you've

Cordelia: "Hey,
you think I'm never lonely 'cause I'm so cute and popular? I can be surrounded
by people and be completely alone. It's not like any of them really
know me. I don't even know if they like me half the time. People just
want to be in the popular zone. Sometimes when I talk, everyone's so busy
agreeing with me, they don't hear a word I say."

so alone, why do you work so hard at being popular?"

it beats being alone all by yourself."
