What a pathetic little girl. Ungrateful, spineless --

It doesn't matter.

What gives this Admiral the right to change us like that? What purpose is it meant to serve? And are we really meant to believe these are just random occurrences? He's clearly waiting to see who cracks.

[Private to Buffy]

Get your preaching out of the way. Tell me all about how I'd be better off like that person so that I get get the laughter out of the way.

Spoken like a true rebel. It makes you no less wrong. The strong triumph over the weak; that is nature. It is better for all parties involved for them to be ruled rather than annihilated.

They ought to be grateful.

You got me pegged. Good job.

The point is it's not always "give in or die." Some people would rather die than be ruled by an unjust ruler. That's just human nature.

You're not a hundred percent right, neither am I. Too many factors. But the world isn't as black and white as you see it.

[half a laugh] Then they'll die, won't they?

[maxwells_demon]

I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on them.
