Line 381:
*** Hey, there was a prophecy. Not like they ever have loopholes or anything, right? Right?
*** ...he just KILLED the Slayer and was excited to be free for the first time in centuries. You expect him to sit around in his prison and watch the body for a while to make sure none of the friends that Slayers don't have ever show up to revive her? He thought she was dead and, let's be honest, [[Fridge Brilliance|an ancient vampire probably isn't very learned on the respiratory system.]]
**** The Master's been stuck in that cave since the 1930s. Simple mouth-to-mouth recuscitation wasn't in use that far back (and wouldn't be until the 50s), let alone CPR. He has absolutely no reason to know that reviving Buffy is even medically possible, much less the idea that someone will arrive in his lair less than three minutes after he leaves it who is able and willing to do so.
** Warren: Why did he have to come up with all sorts o'wacky plans to get rid of the slayer, instead of doing what he, you know, ended up doing anyway? Why, if he couldn't just shoot her didn't he build some sort of killingbot, which he was perfectly able to do?
*** Because he didn't want to kill Buffy so much as he wanted to be a comic-book supervillain. That meant coming up with whacky schemes, and never repeating yourself. He'd done robots; he wasn't going to show such unoriginality as to try that again.
