The friend I had was good to me, even if he was pretty awful to the rest of the world. So far Doc's been the same to me, and he helped with the Leviathan, so he's got a step up in that regard.

[The Mayor would have stood up to the Leviathan too, Faith reminds herself. He needed Sunnydale to remain intact for him to keep bleeding it dry. The Doctor isn't the same. He helped her, healed her even. The Mayor helped her, healed her, had her taken care of. The Mayor wanted both a daughter and a weapon.

So what does Teacher want?]

Yeah, I mean... I dunno. Teacher feels too formal, I guess. [Like a position of authority over her.] Plus, it's not like he's teaching me.

[She snorts at the idea of exploding the Leviathan's bones from the inside.]

See, I just went for punching it really hard. Think I actually ate some of it? Fuckin' nasty.
