Quote of the Week
This week: The last scene of "Lie to Me" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Buffy: It'd be simpler if I could just hate [Ford]. I think he wanted me to. I think it made it easier for him to be the villain of the piece. Really he was just scared.
Giles: Yes, I suppose he was.
Buffy: Nothing's ever simple any more. I'm constantly trying to work it out. Who to love, or hate; who to trust. It's just like the more I know, the more confused I get.
Giles: Well, I believe that's called growing up.
Buffy: I'd like to stop then, okay?
Giles: I know the feeling.
Buffy: Does it ever get easy?
Giles: You mean life?
Buffy: Yeah. Does it get easy?
Giles: What do want me to say?
Buffy: Lie to me.
Giles: Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true; the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and we always defeat them and save the day! No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.
Buffy: Liar.
