Anya Jenkins & Andrew Wells...

Andrew: "it's gunna be bad isn't it?"


Anya: "yeah"


Andrew: "so how come your here? I mean, you could just go right?"


Anya: "yeah... I did once before"


Andrew: "before what?"


Anya: "well there was this other apocalypse this one time &... well, I took off but this time, I don't know"


Andrew: "well, what's different?"


Anya: "I guess I was kinda new to being around humans before but now I've seen alot more, gotten to know people, seen what they're capable of & I guess... I guess I just realised how amazingly screwed-up they all are. I mean really, really screwed-up in a monumental fashion & they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around blundering through life until they die, which they know is coming yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. they're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment, they kill each other, which is clearly insane! & yet here's the thing... when it's something that really matters, they fight, I mean they're lame morons for fighting, but they do, they never... they never quite... so I guess i'll keep fighting too."
Andrew: "that was kinda beautiful... you love humans"


Anya: "I do not!"


Andrew: "yes you do, you love them"


Anya: "stop it!, I don't love them & i'll kill you if you tell anybody"


Andrew: "I won't tell anybody"

If I Die Young

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother, she'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh & life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no, ain't even grey, but she buries her baby 

The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time 

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time 

& I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom, I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger, I've never known the lovin' of a man but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a boy here in town says he'll,love my forever, who would have thought forever could be severed by the sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time 

So put on your best boys & I'll wear my pearls, what I never did is done 

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar, they're worth so much more after I'm a goner & maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin, funny when your dead how people start listenin 

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, the ballad of a dove, go with peace & love, gather up your tears, keep em in your pocket, save them for a time when your really gonna need them

The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had just enough time 

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
