Interviews | Jane Espenson
Pay per slay

Picture Do you think Buffy should charge for slaying, or is that a bad idea?

Generally when Anya makes an argument, I try to make it absolutely as logical and plausible and reasonable as it can be, because I don't think she's crazy.

I think if you take the world and you strip away the sentiment and you get down to how things really work, I think Anya usually makes a tremendous amount of sense. She's right; it's a valuable service and you have extraordinarily motivated people, you have people who are in the position where they're not going to be in the mood to bargain.

I think Angel's actually dealing with the same issue too, of charging for services. I mean, why is it that we feel that the most virtuous act has to impoverish the person that has the virtue? Why not have a little profit motive in it? Maybe we'd have more people on the side of good if it paid better.
