           The gang is ganging up on Buffy. Anya questions why Buffy should be   
   their leader --   
      
       ANYA --- And it's automatically you. (looks at Buffy) You really do   
   think you're better than we are.   
      
       BUFFY --- No, I—   
      
       ANYA --- But we don't know. We don't know if you're actually better. I   
   mean, you came into the world with certain advantages, sure. I mean, that's   
   the legacy.   
      
       BUFFY ---  I—   
      
       ANYA --- But you didn't earn it. You didn't work for it. You've never   
   had anybody come up to you and say you deserve these things more than anyone   
   else. They were just handed to you. So that doesn't make you better than us.   
   It makes you luckier than us.   
      
      
               Normally I always like Anya, my fave character, but this time   
   she is WAY out too far on the limb.   
      
               First of all, I believe Slayers are chosen where a Slayer is   
   needed  (the one in the Boxer Rebellion that Spike killed) and Buffy  was   
   perhaps the only Potential in the area.   
      
               And as far as Buffy being luckier than they are-- I can think of   
   nothing MORE unlucky than to be chosen to be a Slayer - constantly fighting   
   for your life; constantly lying to your parents and friends; and almost   
   assured of a early and violent death.
