&quot;Because&mdash;OK, I&#039;m cookie dough. I&#039;m not done baking. I&#039;m not finished becoming whoever the hell it is I&#039;m gonna turn out to be.

And then, you know, if I want someone to eat&mdash; or enjoy warm, delicious cookie me, then...that&#039;s fine. That&#039;ll be then. When I&#039;m done.&quot;- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
