“enough about my beauty,” buttercup said. “everybody always talks about how beautiful i am. i’ve got a mind, wesley. talk about that.”
“i say you are a coward and you are; i think you fight only to reassure yourself that you are not what you are: the weakest thing to ever walk the earth.”
“wesley and i are joined by the bond of love and you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords.”
