"More than a Slayer." Spoon says, firmly, "Slayer is a bloody calling, but it isn't everything. It can't be everything, because if all you are is a Slayer than you can be taken away from yourself. Hell, it might not even be a genuine calling, it's a bleeding duty tossed on you by a bunch of fanatic gits who want to save the world and hadn't a clue how to go about it past dump the responsibility on a bunch of girls an' then send them out like weapons."

"You're a person, Jordie. Not a bloody weapon. Weapons, tools, people. Weapons kill shite. Tools fix shite.

Up to you to decide that you're going to be more than that."
