Power...


TRAVERS
Well. We can begin the review at last.
We'll skip over the more obvious—

 

BUFFY
There isn't going to be a review.

 

TRAVERS
Sorry?

 

BUFFY
No review. No interrogation, no questions
you know I can't answer, no hoops, no jumps...

 

BUFFY
...and no interruptions.
(to them all)
See I've had a lot of people talking
at me, last few days. People just
lining up to tell me how unimportant
I am. And I finally figured out why.

 

BUFFY
Power. I have it. They don't.
This bothers them.
(strolls about a bit)
Glory came to my house today—

 

BUFFY
--Just to talk. Tell me I'm a bug,
I'm a flea, she could squash me in
a second... Only she didn't squash
me. She came to my house and she
talked. We had what in her warped
brain probably passes for a civilized
conversation. Why? Because she
needs something from me. Because
I have power over her.
