• [last lines] 

  Dawn Summers : Maybe that's your power.

  Xander Harris : What?

  Dawn Summers : Seeing. Knowing.

  Xander Harris : [chuckles]  Maybe it is. Maybe I should get a cape.

  Dawn Summers : Cape is good.

  Xander Harris : Yeah.

  [Xander smiles briefly before walking out of the room, leaving Dawn thoughtful] 

• Xander Harris : Oh, good God! What is that smell?

  Anya : Uh, fairly sure that's the smell of a hard-boiled egg being thrown into a fire.

  Xander Harris : Uh-huh.

  Willow Rosenberg : The smell will lead us to the Potential.

  Xander Harris : Or some poor soul who ate too many chimichangas.

• Xander Harris : They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie... to be the one who *isn't* chosen, to live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me... I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special... You're extraordinary.

• Andrew Wells : What's going on?

  Anya : Dawn's gonna be a Slayer.

  Andrew Wells : Holy crap! Excuse me. Plucked from an ordinary life, handed a destiny.

  Xander Harris : Say "Skywalker," and I smack ya.

• Xander Harris : Wait. The seers couldn't find out her name or, like, her address or anything? Am I getting the definition of "seer" wrong?

• [worried about the blind servants of The First Evil] 

  Dawn Summers : What if they saw the spell?

  Xander : Saw the spell? Dawn, they can't see flashcards. Big ones.

• Xander Harris : I mean, what do you think Buffy's gonna do with this information? Jump up and down, teach Dawn the secret handshake? She knows what this means.

  Anya : Short, brutal life. Sharp, sharp knives. I covered this.
