Season Two


When She Was Bad



Willow: "Buffy killed a vampire last night."
Buffy: "Uh, I think you can get a little more volume if you speak from the diaphragm."
Willow: "Sorry."

Buffy: "So, is this a social call? It is kinda' late...or, well, it is for me, anyway. What is it for you, lunch hour?"
Angel: "It's not a social call."
Buffy: "Ah, so let me guess. That means grave danger. Gosh, it's good to be home."
Angel: "I'm sorry, I wish I had better news."
Buffy: "So, some of your cousins are in town for a family barbecue, and we're all on the menu."

Willow: "Angel stopped by? Wow! Was there...well, I mean...was it having to do with kissing?"
Buffy: "Willow, grow up. Not everything is about kissing."
Xander: "Yeah. Some stuff's about groping. It wasn't about groping?"
Buffy: "Okay, hormones on parade here, it was pure shop talk. Remember vampires, pointy teeth, they walk by night. Am I ringing a bell?"

"Cordelia, your mouth is open. Sound is coming from it. This is never good."

Cordelia: "Your secret's safe with me."
Buffy: "Well, that works out great. You won't tell anyone that I'm a Slayer, and I won't tell anyone you're a moron."
Xander: "Now that was a good insult."

"Look, Angel, I'm sorry if I was supposed to spend the summer mooning over you, but I didn't. I moved on...to the living."

"You know, being stalked isn't really a big turn-on for girls."

"You're a vampire. Oh, I'm sorry. Is that an offensive term? Should I say 'Undead American'?"

Angel: "I'm not gonna' fight you."
Buffy: "Come on. Kick my ass."

Buffy: "I don't think I can face them."
Giles: "Of course you can."
Buffy: "I can't! What am I supposed to say? 'Sorry I almost got your throats slit. What's the homework?'"
Giles: "Punishing yourself like this is pointless."
Buffy: "It's entirely pointy. I was a moron. I put my best friends in mortal danger on the second day of school."
Giles: "What are you going to do? Crawl inside a cave for the rest of your life?"
Buffy: "Would it have cable?"
Giles: "Buffy, you acted wrongly, I'll admit that, but believe me, that was hardly the worst mistake you'll ever make."
Buffy: "..."
Giles: "That wasn't quite as comforting as it was meant to be."
Buffy: "Well, points for effort."

Buffy: "Let's dance."
Xander: "Ohhhhh-kay."

Some Assembly Required



Buffy: "Come on, Stephan. Rise and shine. Some of us have a ton of trig homework waiting."

Angel: "Is this a bad time?"
Buffy: "Are you crazy? You don't just sneak up on people in a graveyard. You make noise when you walk. You stomp or yodel."

Angel: "'Danced with' is a pretty loose term. 'Mated with' might be a little closer."
Buffy: "Don't you think you're being a little unfair? It was one little dance, which I only did to make you crazy. By the way, behold my success."

Angel: "See? Whenever we fight, you always bring up the vampire thing."
Buffy: "Well, I didn't come here to fight!"
Stephan the Vampire: "Rargh!!!"
Buffy: "Ooh! Oh right, I did!"

"Gee, I wish people wouldn't leave open graves laying around like this."

Buffy: "Being called an idiot tends to take people out of the dating mood."
Xander: "Well, it actually kind of turns me on."
Buffy: "I fear you."

Buffy: "You also might wanna' avoid words like 'amenable' and 'indecorous'. You know? Speak English, not whatever they speak in, uh..."
Giles: "England?"

"And she's the only woman we've ever seen actually speak to you. Add it up and it all spells 'Duh!'"

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, Willow, but it's the bat signal."

Willow: "Love makes you do the wacky."
Buffy: "That's the truth."

Xander: "You know, this might go a lot faster if you femmes actually picked up a shovel, too."
Giles: "Hear hear!"
Buffy: "Sorry, but I'm an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and women have the babies."

"And he broke Cordy's heart? Thus possibly proving its existence."

Xander: "So if both coffins are empty, that makes three girls signed up for the army of zombies."
Willow: "Is it an army if you just have three?"
Buffy: "Well, zombie drill team, then."

Buffy: "What if that poor girl is walking around"
Xander: "Poor girls, technically."

School Hard



Joyce: "What's wrong?"
Buffy: "I spent a good part of my allowance on this new creme rinse, and it's neither creamy nor rinsey."

Buffy: "What can you really tell about a person from a test score?"
Joyce: "Whether or not she's ever going out with her friends again."
Buffy: "Oh, that."

Willow: "I thought we were going to the Bronze tonight, 'cause of how you thought Angel might show."
Xander: "If he does, he'll meet some other nice girl. Studying comes first."
Buffy: "We're going to the Bronze."

Giles: "This Saturday is the Night of St. Vigeous."
Buffy: "Let me guess. He didn't make balloon animals."

Giles: "You're being a tad flip, don't you think? This is serious."
Buffy: "And getting kicked out of school is laughs aplenty?"

Buffy: "Okay, well, if my slaying doesn't get me expelled, then I promise my banner-making won't get me killed, okay?"

Sheila: "Did you really burn down a school building one time?"
Buffy: "Well, not actually "one time".
Sheila: "Cool!"

Buffy: "Le vache doit me touche de la jeudi. Was it wrong? Should I use the plural?"
Willow: "No, but you said, 'The cow should touch me from Thursday.'"
Buffy: "Maybe that's what I was thinking."
Willow: "And you said it wrong."
Buffy: "Oh, je stink."
Willow: "You're just not focused. It's Angel missage."

Xander: "You've been studying for nearly twelve minutes."
Buffy: "No wonder my brain's fried."

Vampire: "Slayer."
Buffy: "Slayee."

"Get her out of here, and a stake would be nice!"

Buffy: "Who are you?"
Spike: "You'll find out on Saturday."
Buffy: "What happens on Saturday?"
Spike: "I kill you."

Buffy: "Come on, you've been dating for what, like 200 years? You don't know what a girl means when she says maybe she'll show?"
Willow: "Wow, two centuries of dating. If you only had two a year, that's still, like, 400 dates with 400 different--"
Buffy: "..."
Willow: "Why do they call it a mace?"

Buffy: "Cordelia, I have at least three lives to contend with, none of which really mesh. It's kind of like oil and water and a...third unmeshable thing."

Buffy: "Um, but you haven't seen the boiler room yet, and you know that's really interesting, what with the boiler being in the room and all."

Cordelia: "When they're done talking..."
Buffy: "What?"
Cordelia: "My guess? Tenth High School Reunion, you'll still be grounded."
Willow: "Cordelia, have some lemonade."

Willow: "What kind of punch did you make?"
Buffy: "Uh, lemonade. I made it fresh and everything."
Willow: "How much sugar did you use?"
Buffy: "Sugar?"

Spike: "Fe, fi, fo, fum. I smell the blood of a nice ripe girl."
Buffy: "Do we really need weapons for this?"
Spike: "I just like them. They make me feel all manly."

Spike: "As a personal favor, from me to you, I'll make it quick. It won't hurt a bit."
Buffy: "No, Spike. It's gonna' hurt a lot."

Inca Mummy Girl



Buffy: "This is so unfair."
Willow: "I don't think it's that bad."
Buffy: "It's the über-suck."

Buffy: "I wasn't going to use violence. I don't always use violence. Do I?"
Xander: "The important thing is: you believe that."

Buffy: "So can I go?"
Giles: "I think not."
Buffy: "How come?"
Giles: "Because you are the Chosen One."
Buffy: "Oh, just this once, I'd like to be the Overlooked One."

Giles: "You have responsibilities that other girls do not."
Buffy: "Oh, I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices--blah blah bity blah--I'm so stuffy. Give me a scone."
Giles: "It's as if you know me."

Buffy: "So, then going to the dance like a normal person would be the best way to keep that secret."
Giles: "..."
Buffy: "Giles, come on, budge. No one likes a nonbudger."

Giles: "Fine! Go."
Buffy: "Yay! I win."
Giles: "I'll just go and introduce my shoulder to an ice pack."

"One day, I'm gonna' live in a town where evil curses are just generally ruled out without even saying."

"Forty minutes late. Welcome to America."

Xander: "Would you like a drink?"
Buffy: "Ahh, let's see. We've got milk...and, uh...huh...older milk. Juice?"

"So then we just have to stop the mummy, which leads to the question: how do we a) find and b) stop the mummy?"

Buffy: "Hey! Look at us! We came up with a plan. A good plan."
Giles: "Right. We'll meet there tonight after it closes."
Buffy: "No. Bad plan. I have other plans. Dance plans."
Giles: "..."
Buffy: "Cancelled plans."

Xander: "Oh, ye--I, uh..."
Buffy: "I can translate American salivating boy talk. He says you're beautiful."
Xander: "Pyah su."
Buffy: "You're welcome."

Giles: "Thank heavens you're home."
Buffy: "Yep. Not at the dance. Not with my friends. Not with a life."

"What kind of girl travels with a mummified corpse and doesn't even pack lipstick?"

Buffy: "Come on! Can't you put your foot down?"
Giles: "It is down."
Buffy: "One of these days, you're gonna' have to get a grown-up car."

Giles: "Oh, wait."
Buffy: "..."
Giles: "..."
Buffy: "Uh, waiting."

"I'll say one thing for you Incan mummies: you don't kiss and tell."

Ampata: "You're not a normal girl."
Buffy: "And you are?"

Buffy: "I remember how I felt when I heard the prophecy that I was gonna' die. I wasn't exactly obsessed with doing the right thing."
Xander: "Yeah, but you did. You gave up your life."
Buffy: "I had you to bring me back."

Reptile Boy



Willow: "Was if one of those vivid dreams where you could feel his lips and smell his hair?"
Buffy: "It had surround sound."

Buffy: "I'm brainsick. I can't have a relationship with him."
Willow: "Not during the day, but...you could ask him for coffee some night. It's the non-relationship drink of choice. It's not a date, it's a caffeinated beverage. Okay, sure, it's hot and bitter, like a relationship that way, but--"
Xander: "What's 'like a relationship'?"
Buffy: "Nothing I have. Coffee?"
Xander: "Huh?"

"And the little slice of life that still belongs to me from -- I don't know -- seven to seven o'five in the morning, can I do what I want then?"

"Digging on the undead doesn't exactly do wonders for your social life."

Buffy: "Right, who needs a social life when you've got your very own hellmouth?"
Giles: "Yes! You have a duty, a purpose. You have a commitment in life. Now how many people your age can say that?"
Buffy: "We talkin' foreign or domestic? How 'bout none?"

Richard: "Hi, sweetheart. I'm Richard, and you are...?"
Buffy: "So not interested."

Buffy: "And there's blood on it."
Giles: "Oh? I didn't see any."
Buffy: "Angel showed up. He could smell it."
Xander: "The blood? There's a guy you wanna' party with."

Buffy: "I told one lie. I had one drink."
Giles: "Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture."

Halloween

(to Angel): "You're sweet. A terrible liar. But sweet."

Xander: "Sign up and get your own pack of sugar-high little runts for the night."
Buffy: "Yikes, I'll stick to vampires."

"Gosh, I'd love to sign up, but I recently developed carpal tunnel syndrome and can tragically no longer hold a flashlight."

"Get gone."

Willow: "Oh, Buffy, Angel would never fall for her act."
Buffy: "You mean that actually showing up, wearing a stunning outfit, embracing personal hygiene act?"

"You know, there's this place you can go, right, and you sit in the dark, and there are these moving pictures, right, and the pictures tell a story."

Giles: "I'll have you know that I have very, um, many relaxing hobbies."
Buffy: "Such as?"
Giles: "Well, um...I enjoy cross-referencing."
Buffy: "Do you stuff your own shirts or do you send 'em out?"

"So, how come Halloween is such a big yawner? I mean, do the demons just hate how commercial it's become?"

Buffy: "Ms. Calendar said you are a babe!"
Giles: "She said what?"
Buffy: "Um, she said that you are a...hunk of burning...something or other. So, whadda' you think of that?"
Giles: "Um, I don't know. I don't, um...a burning hunk of what?"

"What was I thinking of!? Shame! Shame!"

"She's pretty...coiffed."

Buffy: "You're missing the whole point of Halloween."
Willow: "Free candy?!"

Buffy: "It's 'come as you aren't' night. The perfect chance for a girl to get sexy and wild with no repercussions."
Willow: "Oh, I don't get wild. Wild on me equals spaz."

"I'll show him I can coiff with the best of 'em."

Willow: "But, this just isn't me."
Buffy: "And that's the point. Look, Halloween is the night that not you is you, but not you. You know?"

"I can't wait for the boys to go non-verbal when they see you."

"What did Mrs. Davis give you?"

"She must be stopped."

Buffy: "Surely, he'll not desert us?"
Willow: "Whatever."

Xander: "She must be right. We must have some kind of amnesia."
Buffy: "I don't know what that is, but I'm certain I don't have it. I bathe quite often."

"I was brought up a proper lady. I wasn't meant to understand things. I'm just meant to look pretty, and then someone nice will marry me, possibly a baron."

"But, I don't want to go with you. I like the man with the musket! Do you have a musket?"

"Hi, honey! I'm home."

"You know what? It's good to be me."

"I'm just meant to look pretty."

Cordelia: "What's the deal?"
Buffy: "He's a vampire..."
Cordelia: "Angel is a god vampire, he'd never hurt you."

Lie To Me

Xander: "Who's 'friendly'?"
Buffy: "No one."
Willow: "Angel and a girl."
Buffy: "Willow, do we have to be in total share mode?"
Xander: "Hey, it's me. If Angel's doing something wrong, I wanna' know...'cause it gives me a happy."
Buffy: "Hmm, I'm glad someone has a happy."

"This is great--well, I mean, it's hard--sudden move, all your friends, delicate time--but let's talk about me."

"It was terrible. I moped over you for months, sitting in my room, listening to that Divinyls song "I Touch Myself"...of course, I had no idea what it was about."

"Hey, are you busy tonight? We're going to the Bronze. It's the local club and you have to come."

(to Angel)"You drink! I mean, drinks, non-blood things."

Ford: "So, that was your boyfriend?"
Buffy: "No. Uh, yeah. Maybe. Could we lay off the tough questions for a while?"

Ford: "What's goin' on?"
Buffy: "Um, uh, there's a--a cat...a cat, here...and, um, then there was another cat...and they fought...the cats...and...then they left."
Ford: "Oh. I thought you were just slaying a vampire."
Buffy: "What?! What-ing a what?!"

Buffy: "Are you drinking coffee again, 'cause we've talked about this."
Willow: "Hahaha, ha--it makes me jumpy. I...have to go...away."
Ford: "Nice girl."
Buffy: "There aren't two of those in the world."

Giles: "Oh, uh...right then. Well, um, just remember if you--"
Buffy: "Go! Experience this thing called fun. I'll try not to have a crisis."

Giles: "She was killed by an angry mob in Prague."
Buffy: "Well, they don't make angry mobs like they used to, 'cause this girl's alive."

Buffy: "I'm sorry, Ford. I just couldn't wail 'til tonight. I'm rash and impulsive. It's a flaw."
Ford: "We all have flaws."
Buffy: "I'm still a little fuzzy on exactly what yours is. I think it has to do with being a lying scumbag."

Ford: "I don't think I wanna' talk anymore."
Buffy: "Yeah, well I still feel awfully chatty."

Chanterelle: "This is a beautiful day, can't you see that?"
Buffy: "What I see is that right after the sun goes down, Spike and all of his friends are gonna' be pigging out at the all-you-can-eat moron bar."

"I am trying to save you. You are playing in some serious traffic here, do you understand that? You're going to die, and the only hope you have of surviving this is to get out of this pit right now and my God could you have a dorkier outfit?"

"Now you let everybody out, or your girlfriend fits in an ashtray."

Giles: "You mean life?"
Buffy: "Yeah. Does it get easy?"
Giles: "What do you want me to say?"
Buffy: "Lie to me."
Giles: "Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by the pointy horns or black hats. And, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."
Buffy: "Liar."

The Dark Age

Giles: "Must we have this noise during your calisthenics?"
Buffy: "It's not noise, it's music."
Giles: "I know music. Music has notes. This is noise."
Buffy: "I'm aerobicizing. I must have the beat!"
Giles: "Wonderful. You work on your muscle tone while my brain dribbles out of my ears."

Buffy: "I'm on a beach. Not one of those American beaches. One of those island beaches where the water's way too blue. And I'm laying on my towel, and it's just before sunset, and Gavin Rossdale's massaging my feet."
Willow: "That's good. Uh, I'm in Florence, Italy. I've rented a scooter that's parked outside. I'm in a little restaurant eating ziti. And there are no more tables left, so they have to seat this guy with me, and it's John Cusack!"
Buffy: "Very impressive. You have such an eye for detail."
Willow: "'Cause...with the ziti."

Xander: "Giles lived for school. He's actually still better that there were only twelve grades."
Buffy: "He probably sat in math class thinking, 'There should be more math. This could be mathier.'"
Willow: "Come on, you don't think he ever got restless as a kid?"
Buffy: "Are you kidding? His diapers were tweed."

Buffy: "Hey, good morning. Say, is that tweed?"
Giles: "What? Oh, uh, yes. Um, now, uh, look, tonight, uh, it's very important to come..."
Buffy: "Now that's a surprise."

Buffy: "So, what's on tap tonight that's so important? Uprising, prophesied ritual, preordained death fest?"
Xander: "Ah, the old standards!"
Giles: "Um, a medical transport is delivering a monthly supply of blood to the hospital."
Buffy: "Mmm, vampire meals on wheels."

Giles: "Uh, we'll meet outside the hospital at eight thirty, sharp. I'll bring the weaponry."
Buffy: "I'll bring the party mix."
Giles: "Just don't be late."
Buffy: "Have I ever let you down?"
Giles: "Do you want me to answer that, or should I just glare?"

Xander: "Those poor schlubs, have to attend school on Saturday."
Ms. Calendar: "Nine AM okay with you, Xander?"
Xander: "..."
Buffy: "Got a bit of schlub on your shoe there."

"All's well that ends with cute ER doctors, I always say."

"Since when do doctors take deliveries?"

Buffy: "How did you know about this?"
Angel: "It's delivery day. Everybody knows about this."

Angel: "Maybe he's late."
Buffy: "Giles, who counts tardiness as the eighth deadly sin?"

"Giles, did you forget? The hospital, vampires, handy carry-out packets of blood?"

Buffy: "I think he might have been...I think he was drinking."
Ms. Calendar: "He was home alone drinking?"
Willow: "But...tea, right?"
Buffy: "Wasn't tea, Will."

Buffy: "You sold me that dress for Halloween and nearly got us all killed."
Ethan: "But you looked great."

Buffy: "What are you doing here."
Ethan: "Snooping around."
Buffy: "Honesty. Nice touch."
Ethan: "It's one of my virtues...not really."

Cordelia: "What about me? I care about Giles."
Buffy: "Work with Xander."
Cordelia: "Well, when I say 'care', I-I mean..."
Buffy: "Cordelia?"
Cordelia: "Okay, okay."

Buffy: "It's okay. I'm not much into running."
Ethan: "Aren't we manly?"
Buffy: "One of us is. You're gonna' hide 'til it's over."
Ethan: "Excellent plan!"

Ethan: "You know, I hope you're not taking it personally, Buffy. I actually kind of like, it's ju--it's just that I like myself a lot more. If you think of it karmically, this is, this is really big for your soul, you know. Taking my place for the demon, giving so that others may live."
Buffy: "I'm gonna' kill you. Will that blow the whole Karma thing?"

"Winner and still champion."

Xander: "Uh, I think that Ethan guy disappeared again."
Buffy: "Darn, I really wanted to hit him 'til he bled."

"You know what the worst thing is? I was saving up for some very important shoes, and now I have to blow my entire allowance to get this stupid tattoo removed."

Buffy: "Hey, maybe you should consider a career as a Watcher."
Willow: "Oh, no, I don't think I could handle the stress."
Xander: "And the dental plan is crap."

Buffy: "Is she okay?"
Giles: "Um, the hills are not alive."
Buffy: "I'm sorry to hear that...I think."

Buffy: "I'm so used to you being the grown-up, and then I find out you're a person."
Giles: "Well, most grown-ups are."
Buffy: "Who would've thought?"

Buffy: "I have just the perfect music. Go on, say it, you know you want to."
Giles: "It's not music, it's just, uh, meaningless sounds."
Buffy: "There. Feel better?"
Giles: "Yes, thanks. Bay City Rollers, now that's music."
Buffy: "I didn't hear that."

What's My Line, Part 1



Buffy: "Do I like shrubs?"
Xander: "That's between you and your god."
Buffy: "What'd you put?"
Willow: "I came down on the side of shrubs."

Buffy: "No matter what my aptitude test says, we already know my deal."
Xander: "Yep. High risk. Sub-minimum wage."
Buffy: "Pointy wooden things."

Willow: "You're not even a teensy weensy bit curious about what kinda' career you could've had? I mean, if you weren't already a Slayer and all."
Buffy: "Do the words 'sealed in fate' ring any bells for you, Will? Why go there?"
Xander: "You know, with that kind of attitude, you could've had a bright future as an employee at the D.M.V."

"Unless Hell freezes over and every vamp in Sunnydale puts in for early retirement, I'd say my future is pretty much a non-issue."

"Does 'Rest in Peace' have no sanctity to you people? Oh, I forgot, you're not a people."

"One down, one...gone."

Angel: "Buffy. You scared me."
Buffy: "Now you know what it feels like, Stealth Guy."

Buffy: "Just stopping by for some quality time with Mr. Gordo?"
Angel: "Excuse me?"
Buffy: "The pig."

Buffy: "What's up." Angel: "Nothing." Buffy: "Well, you don't have a 'nothing' face. You have a 'something' face.

Angel: "I wanted to make sure you were okay. I had a bad feeling."
Buffy: "There's a surprise. Angel comes with bad news."

"The Cliffs Notes version? I want a normal life."

Buffy: "No, Angel, it's not you. You're the one freaky thing in my freaky world that still makes sense to me."

Buffy: "I wish we could be regular kids."
Angel: "I'll never be a kid."
Buffy: "Okay then, a regular kid and her cradle-robbin', creature-of-the-night boyfriend."

Buffy: "My Dorothy Hamill phase. My room in LA was pretty much a shrine. Dorothy dolls, Dorothy posters. I even got the Dorothy haircut, thereby securing a place for myself in the Geek Hall of Fame."

Angel: "When was the last time you put on your skates?"
Buffy: "'Bout a couple of hundred demons ago."

Willow: "You and Angel are going skating? Alone?"
Buffy: "Unless some unforseen evil pops up. But I'm in full see-no-evil mode."
Willow: "Angel ice-skating."
Buffy: "I know. Two worlds collide."

Buffy: "First, I have to deal with Giles. He's on this Tony Robbins hyper-efficiency kick. Expects me to check in every day after homeroom. Police?"

Giles: "I've been, uh, indexing the Watcher diaries covering the last couple of centuries. You'd be amazed at how numbingly pompous and long-winded some of these Watchers were."
Buffy: "Color me stunned."

Buffy: "They had tools, flashlights, whole nine yards. What's that mean, anyway? Whole nine yards. Nine yards of what? Uhh, now it's gonna' bug me all day. Giles, you're in pace mode. What gives?"

Buffy: "You know, if you don't like the way I'm doing my job, why don't you find somebody else? Oh, that's right, there can only be one. As long as I'm alive, there is no one else. Well, there you go. I don't have to be the Slayer. I could be dead."
Giles: "That wasn't terribly funny. You notice I didn't laugh."
Buffy: "Wouldn't be much of a change."

Giles: "You're behaving remarkably immaturely."
Buffy: "You know why? I am immature. I'm a teen. I have yet to mature."

Buffy: " The point is, no one blinks an eye if you wanna' spend all your days with books. What am I supposed to do? Carve stakes for a nursery?"
Giles: "Point taken. I must admit, I've never really...well now, there's a thought, have you ever considered law enforcement?"
Buffy: "..."

"Note to self: religion, freaky."

Giles: "Oh dear, oh dear."
Buffy: "I hate when you say that."

"Excommunicated and sent to Sunnydale. There's a guy big with the sinning."

"I'm guessing it wasn't a Taste of the Vatican cookbook."

"So you're saying these vampires went through all this hassle for your basic decoder ring?"

Buffy: "I mean, you guys are the brains. I'd only be here for moral support anyway."
Xander: "That's untrue, Buffy, you totally contribute -- you go for snacks!"

Buffy: "The Hellmouth presents Dead Guys on Ice. Not exactly the evening we were aiming for."
Angel: "You're in danger. You know what the ring means?"
Buffy: "That I just killed a Superbowl champ?"

Buffy: "These assassins, why are they after me?"
Willow: "'Cause you're the scourge of the underworld?"
Buffy: "I haven't been that scourgey lately."

"Thanks for the wake-up, but I'll stick with my clock radio."

Buffy: "Come on, don't make me do the chick fight thing."
Kendra: "'Chick fight'?"
Buffy: "You know."

What's My Line, Part 2



Buffy: "Okay, one more time. You're the who?!"
Kendra: "I'm the Slayer."
Buffy: "Nice cover story, but here's a tip: you might wanna' try it on someone who's not the real Slayer."
Kendra: "You can't stop me. Even if you kill me, another Slayer will be sent to take me place."
Buffy: "Could you stop with the Slayer thing, I'm the damn Slayer!"
Kendra: "Nonsense. There is but one, and I am she."

Buffy: "Okay, a scenario: you back off, I'll back off, but you promise not to go all wiggy until we can go to my Watcher and figure this out."
Kendra: "Wiggy?"
Buffy: "You know. No kick-o, no fight-o."

Giles: "We never met. He's very well-respected."
Buffy: "What? So he's a real guy? As in non-fictional?"

Kendra: "They call me Kendra. I have no last name, sir."
Buffy: "Can you say 'stuck in the 80's'?"

Buffy: "Back off, Pink Ranger! This is my friend."

Kendra: "She died?"
Buffy: "Just a little."

Giles: "This is completely unprecedented. I'm quite flummoxed."
Buffy: "What's the flum? It's a mistake. She isn't supposed to be here. She goes home."

"Look, no offense, I really don't mean this personally, but I'm not dead, and frankly, having you around creeps me out just a little bit."

Kendra: "I thought you were a vampire."
Buffy: "Oh! A swing and a miss for the rookie."

"Just trust me on this one, okay? He's on the home team now."

"Doesn't anyone just say 'Hello' where you come from?"

Kendra: "This one is dirty. I can feel it!"
Buffy: "That's really good for you, Percepto Girl, but we're not gonna' get anything out of him if he's, oh, say, unconscious."

Giles: "After meeting you, Buffy, I realized that the Slayer Handbook would be of no use in your case."
Buffy: "Well, what do you mean it would be of no use in my case? What--what's wrong with my case?"

"Hello and welcome to planet Pocket Protector."

Buffy: "Get a load of the She-Giles."
Willow: "Creepy."

Buffy: "Bet Giles wishes I was more a book geek."
Willow: "Giles is enough of a book geek for the both of you."

"Look, you've got your priorities and I've got mine. Right now, they mesh."

"You can attack me. You can send assassins after me. That's fine. But nobody messes with my boyfriend."

Giles: "Is everything all right?"
Buffy: "Yeah, it's okay. Kendra killed the bad lamp."

"When this is over, I'm thinking pineapple pizza and teen video movie fest. Possibly something from the Ringwald ouevre."

Kendra: "Thank you for the shirt. It was very generous of you."
Buffy: "Hey, it looks better on...well, me, but no worries."

"Relax. You earned it. Sit in your seat, you eat your peanuts, you watch the movie--well, unless it's about a dog or Chevy Chase."

Buffy: "I guess it's something I really can't fight. I'm a freak."
Kendra: "Not the only freak."
Buffy: "Not anymore."

Kendra: "I don't hug."
Buffy: "Right...no...good...hate...hugs."

Ted



Buffy: "I was just--"
Willow: "Thinkin'?"
Buffy: "No. Not thinking. Having a lot of happy non-thoughts."

Buffy: "Any others?"
Giles: "Well, for their sakes, I certainly hope not."
Buffy: "What? Kill vampires. It's my job."
Giles: "Well, true, true, although you don't usually beat them into quite such a bloody pulp beforehand."

Buffy: "Vampires are creeps."
Giles: "Yes, that's why we slay them."
Buffy: "I mean, people are perfectly happy getting along, and then vampires come, and they run around and they kill people and they take over your whole house, they start making these stupid little mini-pizzas and everyone's like, "Oh, look, a mini-pizza!" but I'm telling you, I am--"
Giles: "Uh, uh, Buffy. I believe the subtext here is rapidly becoming, uh...text."

"Think there'll be any more? I can wait."

"If you say one more word, things will become dire."

"Seeing my mother frenching a guy is definitely a ticket to Therapy Land."

Buffy: "So Mom's like, "Do you think Ted will like this?" and "This is Ted's favorite show," and "Ted's teaching me computers," and "Ted said the funniest thing," and I'm like, "That's really great, Mom," and then she said I was being sarcastic, which I was, but I'm sorry if I don't talk about Ted all the time."
Angel: "So you're gonna' talk about something else at some point?"

Angel: "Kiss me."
Buffy: "Finally, something I wanna' do."

Buffy: "Find out his secrets. Hack into his life."
Xander: "Can you say 'overreaction'?"
Buffy: "Can you say 'sucking chest wound'?"

Buffy: "And Mom's been totally different since he's around."
Willow: "Different, like happy?"
Buffy: "Like Stepford."

"Vampires. Here, vampires."

Joyce: "Do you wanna' rent a movie tonight?"
Buffy: "Sounds like fun."
Joyce: "Just nothing with horror in it. Or romance. Or men."
Buffy: "I guess we're Thelma and Louise-ing it again."

Buffy: "He's not coming back."
Joyce: "I wish we could be so sure."
Buffy: "Trust me, he's on the scrap heap."
Joyce: "..."
Buffy: "Of life."

Buffy: "Willow, tell me you didn't keep any parts."
Willow: "Not any...big ones."
Buffy: "Oh, Will, you're supposed to use your powers for good."

Buffy: "Absolutely. I plan to forget the whole thing and pick up right where we left off." "Okay, that's it, I give up! Do I have to sound an air horn every time I walk into a room. I mean, what is it with grown-ups these days?"

Bad Eggs



Joyce: "It's an outfit. An outfit that you may never buy."
Buffy: "But...I looked good in it."
Joyce: "You looked like a streetwalker."
Buffy: "But a thin streetwalker."
Joyce: "..."
Buffy: "That's probably not gonna' be the winning argument, is it?"

Lyle: "Well ain't you just got the prettiest little neck I ever did see."
Buffy: "Boy, you guys really never come up with any new lines, do you?"

"But you promised you'd never cheat on me again, honey."

Lyle: "This ain't over."
Buffy: "Oh sure. They say they'll call."

"Oh bliss. Mall food."

Joyce: "Honestly, don't you ever think about anything besides boys and clothes?"
Buffy: "Saving the world from vampires?"

Buffy: "Did Mr. Whitmore notice I was tardy?"
Xander: "I think the word you're searching for is 'absent'."
Willow: "Tardy people show."

Buffy: "As far as punishments go, this is fairly abstract."
Willow: "No, it's your baby!"
Buffy: "'Kay, I get it even less."

"I can't take care of things! I killed my Giga Pet. Literally. I sat on it and it broke."

Buffy: "I'm a single mother?"
Xander: "No man of her own."
Buffy: "Do you know what this says about me? That I'm doomed to lead my mother's life. How deeply scary is that?"

"You know, this isn't hunting in the classical sense."

Joyce: "Are you sure your egg is secure in that?"
Buffy: "Did I ask for back seat mommying?"

Willow: "Angel's helping you, right?"
Buffy: "He does what he can."

"As much as I hate to say this, we should really go kill bad guys."

"I figured there were all sorts of things vampires can't do. You know, like...work for the telephone company, or volunteer for the Red Cross, or...have little vampires."

"You know, I always say that a day without an autopsy is like a day without sunshine."

Xander: "Can I just say, 'Gyughhh!!!'?"
Buffy: "I see your 'Gyughhh' and raise you a 'Nyaghhh!!!'"

Xander: "So, okay. Get started, Buffy. Dissect it or something."
Buffy: "Me? Why do I have to dissect it?"
Xander: "Uh, because you're the Slayer?"
Buffy: "And I slayed. My work here is done."

Xander: "Do we even know what to look for? I mean, how are we supposed to figure out what this thing is?"
Buffy: "Turn it over. Maybe we missed its ID bracelet."

Xander: "Giles! He must be out somewhere."
Buffy: "Well, he picked a hell of a time to get a life."

Xander: "Willow said something. Uh, a name. What was it?"
Buffy: "A Bozo! Not a Bozo."
Xander: "A Bezoar!"
Buffy: "That's it. Okay, so now...we look it up?"
Xander: "In what?"
Buffy: "A book?"

Innocence



Joyce: "So, did you have fun last night?"
Buffy: "What?"
Joyce: "At Willow's."
Buffy: "Yeah. Fun at Willow's. You know, she's a fun machine."

Giles: "The Judge. I-Is he...?"
Buffy: "No assembly required. He's active."

"Also, not the prettiest man in town."

Buffy: "It is a big deal!"
Angel: "It's what? Bells ringing, fireworks, the dulcet choir of pretty little birdies? Come on, Buffy! It's not like I've never been there before."

Angel: "I got a message for Buffy."
Buffy: "Then why don't you give it to me yourself."
Angel: "Oh, it's not really the kind of message you tell. It sort of involves finding the bodies of all your friends."

Buffy: "This can't be you."
Angel: "I'm sure we already covered that subject."
Buffy: "Leave Willow alone and deal with me."
Angel: "But she's so cute and helpless. Really a turn-on."

Giles: "He's doing this deliberately, Buffy. He's trying to make it harder for you."
Buffy: "He's only making it easier."

"I'll handle Smurf."

Judge: "You're a fool. No weapon forged can stop me."
Buffy: "That was then. This is now."
Judge: "What's that do?"(Indicating the rocket launcher)

Buffy: "Best present ever."
Xander: "Knew you'd like it."

Angel: "You can't do it. You can't kill me."
Buffy: (She kicks him where it hurts) "Give me time."

Joyce: "So what'd you do for your birthday? You have fun?"
Buffy: "I got older."

Joyce: "Well, go on, make a wish." Buffy: "I'll just let it burn."

Phases



Buffy: "What guy could resist your wily Willow charms?"
Willow: "At last count? All of them. Maybe more."
Buffy: "Well then, none of them know a thing. They all get an 'F' in Willow." "I was going on two minutes there without thinking

Buffy: "Meow!"
Willow: "Really? Thanks, I've never gotten a 'meow' before."
Buffy: "Well deserved."

Giles: "Yes, I must admit I-I am quite intrigued. Werewolves! It's one of the classics. Yes, I'm sure my books and I are in for a fascinating afternoon."
Buffy: "He needs to get a pet."

Giles: "And it, uh, acts on pure instinct. No conscience. Predatory and aggressive."
Buffy: "In other words, your typical male."
Xander: "On behalf of my gender, "Hey!"
Giles: "Yes, let's not jump to any conclusions."
Buffy: "I didn't jump! I took a tiny step, and there conclusions were."

Giles: "Anything yet?"
Buffy: "Yes, and you won't believe what I saw! Brittany Podell was making out with Owen Stadeel, but he goes with Barrett Williams. If she ever fou--no, um, no-no sign of the werewolf."

Giles: "I thought we might, uh, I thought we might knock on a few windows, uh, ask if anyone has seen anything yet."
Buffy: "Giles, no one's seeing anything."

"Ahem, hey, before we get all chummy here, how 'bout we do something about me being in this net thing?"

Buffy: "It's funny if you don't believe in werewolves."
Cain: "No, it's funny thinking about you two catching one. I mean, this guy looks like he's auditioning to be a librarian, and you, well, you're a girl."

Cain: "Let me ask you, sweetheart. Exactly how many of these animals have you taken out?"
Buffy: "As of today?"

Buffy: "And it doesn't bother you that a werewolf is a person twenty-eight days out of the month?"
Cain: "That's why I only hunt 'em the other three."

"I think I know where to look. We'll just have to make it there before mein furrier."

"Who could resist Sunnydale's own House of Hormones."

Cain: "You know, sis, if that thing out there harms anyone, it's going to be on your pretty little head. I hope you can live with that."
Buffy: "I live with that every day."
Cain: "First they tell me I can't hunt an elephant for its ivory. Now I've gotta' deal with People for the Ethical Treatment of Werewolves."

"I'm guessing you didn't see anything either from that vantage point of having your eyes closed."

Buffy: "So what's the scuttlebutt? Anybody besides Larry fit our werewolf profile?"
Willow: "There is one name that keeps getting spit out. Aggressive behavior, run-ins with authorities, about a screenful of violent incidents."
Buffy: "Okay, most of those were not my fault! Somebody else started them. I was just standing up for myself!"
Willow: "They say it's a good idea to count to ten when you're angry."
Buffy: "One...two...three..."
Willow: "I'll keep looking!"

Willow: "I can't figure him out. He's so hot and cold, or lukewarm and cold."
Buffy: "Welcome to the mystery that is men. I think it goes something like, 'They grow body hair, they lose all ability to tell you what they really want.'"
Willow: "That doesn't seem like a fair trade."

Buffy: "Maybe you need to make the first move."
Willow: "Hmm. That won't make me a slut?"
Buffy: "I think your reputation will remain intact."

Willow: "It used to be so much easier to tell if a boy liked you. He'd punch you on the arm and then run back to his friends."
Buffy: "Those were the days."

Buffy: "Vampire."
Xander: "So that's good, right? I mean, in the sense of the werewolf didn't get her."
Buffy: "..."
Xander: "No, there is no good here."
Buffy: "No good."

"We can all have ourselves a good cry after we bag us a werewolf."

Giles: "All set. Let's go find this thing."
Buffy: "One question: how exactly do we find this thing?"

"How about you let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of town?"

Xander: "It's all so weird. I-I mean, how are we supposed to act when we see him?"
Buffy: "It's gotta' be weird for him too, now that we know so much."
Xander: "All I know is, I'll never be able to look at him the same again."
Buffy: "He's still a human being...most of the time."
Xander: "Who we talking about?"
Buffy: "Oz. Who you talking about?"
Xander: "Noone!"

Buffy: "That was weird."
Xander: "What, it's not okay for one guy to like another guy just because he happened to be in the locker room with him when absolutely nothing happened and I thought I told you not to push!"
Buffy: "All I meant was that he didn't try to look up my skirt."
Xander: "Oh, oh, yeah. That's, that's the weirdness."
Buffy: "Weirdness abounds lately."

Buffy: "Certainly gonna' put a strain on Willow and Oz's relationship."
Xander: "What relationship? I mean, what life could they possibly have together? We're talking obedience school, paper training. Oz is always in the back, burying their thangs, and that kind of breed can turn on its owner."
Buffy: "I don't know. I kinda' see Oz as the loyal type."
Xander: "All I'm saying is, she's not safe with him. If it were up to me--"
Buffy: "Xander. It's not up to you."

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered



Xander: "So, what do you think?"
Buffy: "It's nice."
Xander: "But do you think Cordelia will like it?"
Buffy: "I don't know. Does she know what one of these is?"

Xander: "Okay, big yuks. When are you guys gonna' stop making fun of me for dating Cordelia?"
Buffy: "I'm sorry...but never. I just think you could find somebody more...better."
Xander: "In a parallel universe, maybe."

"I'm glad you guys are getting along. Almost really."

"Sorry to say, Xand, but slaying is a tad more perilous than dating."

Buffy: "Oh, Valentine's Day is just a cheap gimmick to sell cards and chocolates."
Amy: "Bad break-up, huh?"
Buffy: "Believe me when I say, 'uh-huh'."


"Mom and I are going to have a pig-out and vid-fest. It's a time-honored tradition among the loveless."

Willow: "You know her mom was a witch."
Buffy: "And amateur psycho."

Giles: "Might I have a word?"
Buffy: "Have a sentence, even."

Giles: "Better safe than sorry."
Buffy: "It's a little late for both."

"You never held out on me until the big bad thing in the dark became my ex-honey."

Giles: "Look, here's another, here. Um, 'Valentine's Day,' yes, um, 'Angel nails a puppy to the...'"
Buffy: "Skip it."
Giles: "But..."
Buffy: "I don't want to know. I don't have a puppy. Skip it."
Giles: "Right you are, I'll get another batch."

Buffy: "Yeah, I heard about you and Cordy. That's her loss."
Xander: "Not really the popular theory."

Buffy: "Why don't you and I do something together tonight? Just the two of us."
Xander: "Really?"
Buffy: "Yeah. We can comfort each other."
Xander: "Would lap dancing enter into that scenario at all? 'Cause I find that very comforting."
Buffy: "Play your cards right..."
Xander: "Okay, uh, you do know that I'm Xander, right?"

Xander: "Buff, give me a heart attack!"
Buffy: "Oh, I'm going to give you more than that."
Xander: "Buff...for the love of God, don't open that raincoat."
Buffy: "Come on, it's a party. Aren't you gonna open your present?"

Buffy: "I seem to be having a slight case of nudity here."
Oz: "But you're not a rat... so call it an upside."

Oz: "Don't go anywhere."
Buffy: "Really not an issue."

Buffy: "Scavenger hunt?"
Xander: "Your mom seemed to buy it."
Buffy: "So she says. I think she's just so wigged at hitting on one of my friends that she's repressing. She's getting pretty good at that. I should probably start worrying."

Xander: "Well, I'm back to being incredibly unpopular."
Buffy: "It's better than everyone trying to ax-murder you, right?"
Xander: "Mostly, but, uh, Willow won't even talk to me."
Buffy: "Any particular reason she should?"
Xander: "How much groveling are we talking here?"
Buffy: "Oh, a month at least."

Buffy: "I remember coming on to you, I remember begging you to undress me, and then a sudden need for cheese. I also remember that you didn't."
Xander: "Need cheese?"

Passion



Buffy: "When I woke up, I found a picture he left me on my pillow."
Xander: "A visit from the pointed tooth fairy."

Buffy: "Willow, I thought I might take in a class. Figured I could use someone who knows where they are."

Buffy: "I just hope Giles can find a keep out spell soon. I know I'll sleep easier when I can...sleep easier."
Willow: "I'm sure he will. He's like...Book Man!"

Joyce: "Don't tell me. He's changed. He's not the same guy you fell for?"
Buffy: "In a nutshell!"

Buffy: "Hey, sorry about your fish."
Willow: "Uh, it's okay. We hadn't really had time to bond yet."

Buffy: "Look, I know you feel badly about what happened, and I just wanted to say..."
Jenny: "..."
Buffy: "...good. Keep it up."

Giles: "So how was your night?"
Buffy: "Sleepless, but no human fatalities."

Buffy: "You know, Cordelia, we've already done your car. Call it a night if you want."
Cordelia: "Thanks. And you know I'd do the same for you if you had a social life."

"Sorry, Angel. Changed the locks."

"That stuff with the Latin and the herbs -- he's just real superstitious.

Joyce: "I love you more than anything in the world."
Buffy: "..."
Joyce: "That would be your cue to, uh, roll your eyes and tell me I'm grossing you out."
Buffy: "You're not."

Joyce: "Oh well. I guess that was 'the talk'"
Buffy: "So how'd it go?"
Joyce: "I don't know, it was my first."

"Giles didn't set this up. Angel did. This is the wrapping for the gift."

Angel: "All right, you've had your fun. But you know what it's time for now?"
Buffy: "My fun."

Killed By Death



Buffy: "Nonvampire. Plus two."

Willow: "Buffy, you're sick."
Buffy: "No, I feel fine. I mean, the world's spinning a little bit, but I like it. It's like a ride."

Cordelia: "We're all concerned about how gross you look."
Buffy: "I'm touched. Really."

Willow: "Buffy, come on, one night of rest is not going to kill you."
Buffy: "No. But it might kill somebody else."

Xander: "Buffy, this is not the time to challenge Angel for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He's at full strength. You're only half a Slayer."
Buffy: "Yeah, but I'm still the Slayer. And as long as I am, Angel's not going to kill anybody else."
Angel: "Oh, come on. Just one more."

Angel: "Not feeling well, lover?"
Buffy: "That helps."

Xander: "Hey, Buffy. We're all here."
Buffy: "Hey...here we are. It's all of we. Are we taking me home?"
Dr. Wilkinson: "No, Buffy, you need to lie down, honey."
Buffy: "Yeah? Lie at home. My bed is better than any bed that's not my bed."
Dr. Wilkinson: "She's still a little out of it."
Buffy: "Shh! Hospital zone, no singing."

Buffy: "Let me go!"
Cordelia: "Maybe she wants to go!"

Buffy: "They're out there!"
Giles: "Yes, we'll get to those...vampires later. I hear it's best to play along."

Dr. Wilkinson: "How are you feeling? Looks like your fever's gone down."
Buffy: "Well, good. Thanks for having me. Let's try and keep in touch."
Dr. Wilkinson: "Not so fast. Hmm."
Buffy: "Good 'hmm' or bad 'hmm'?"

Xander: "Flowers for milady."
Buffy: "I think they call them balloons."
Xander: "Yeah, stick them in water. Maybe they'll grow."

Willow: "Not to be outdone..."
Buffy: "Homework."
Willow: "It's my way of saying get well soon."
Buffy: "You know, chocolate says that even better."
Willow: "I did all your assignments. All you have to do is sign your name."
Buffy: "Chocolate means nothing to me."

"Believe me, I'm not that grown-up."

Buffy: "'Cause I'm not well. I feel all oogy."
Xander: "Increased ooginess. That's a danger signal."

"I'll check Backer's office. See if I can find any post-its marked 'Why a monster might want me dead.'

Willow: "I'm good at medical stuff, since Xander and I used to play doctor all the time."
Xander: "No, she's being literal. She used to have all these medical volumes, and diagnosed me with stuff. I didn't have the heart to tell her she was playing it wrong."
Willow: "Wrong? Why? How did you play doctor?"
Buffy: "I...never have."

Giles: "We'll call you if we, uh, know something."
Buffy: "Know something soon."

"It's too bad Angel didn't put me in the hospital sooner. That's something I never thought I'd hear myself say."

Willow: "Hey, wait, I think I have something."
Buffy: "Well, Sherlock!"

Giles: "Buffy, are you still there?"
Buffy: "Hanging on every eww."

Willow: "Buffy, that's one hundred percent pure. It'll kill you in an instant."
Buffy: "Oh. They really should put that on the label."

Xander: "You don't know how to kill this thing."
Buffy: "I thought I might try violence."
Xander: "Solid call."

Xander: "He's dead, right? I mean, I heard something snap."
Buffy: "That would be his neck."
Xander: "You're not going to yak on me, are you?"

Joyce: "Here you go, honey, peanut butter and jelly, without the crusts, just the way you like it."
Buffy: "And the juice?"
Joyce: "Two parts orange, one part grapefruit."
Buffy: "That's my drink."
Joyce: "I measured it exactly."

I Only Have Eyes For You



Ben: "We had Algebra II together last year."
Buffy: "Sorry. I pretty much repress anything math related."

Buffy: "Oh, yeah. I remember now. It's the one with the desks and the chalkboards and pencils and stuff, right?"
Ben: "Yeah."
Buffy: "Like a steel trap."

"I'm not seeing anybody...ever...again, actually."

Willow: "You've been doing that a lot, patrolling and sacking. In fact, you've kind of been all work and no play Buffy."
Buffy: "I play. I have big fun. I came here tonight, didn't I?"
Willow: "You came. You saw. You rejected."

Buffy: "I'm just not in date mode right now."
Willow: "Well maybe you need to date to get in date mode."

Willow: "You're thinking too much. Maybe you need to be impulsive."
Buffy: "Impulsive? Do you remember my ex-boyfriend? The vampire? I slept with him, he lost his soul, and now my boyfriend's gone forever and the demon that wears his face is killing my friends. The next impulsive decision I make will be my choice of dentures."
Willow: "Okay. The Angel thing went badly. I'm on board with that."

Buffy: "So we have some bad boo on our hands?"
Giles: "It lashes out, growing ever more confused, ever more angry."
Buffy: "So it's a normal teenager. Only dead."

"Fabulous. Now we're Dr. Laura for the deceased."

Buffy: "He should be doing sixty years in prison, breaking rocks and making special friends with Rosco the weight lifter."
Xander: "Yikes. The quality of mercy is not Buffy."

Buffy: "It's just something he's gonna' have to live with."
Xander: "He can't live with it, Buff. He's dead."

Buffy: "You're the only one. The only one I could talk to."
Angel: "Gosh, Buff....that's really pathetic."

Go Fish



"Boy, I was just going to go with big and wet."

"Nice tat. What, they ran out of Tweety Bird?"

"See, it's fun to hang out with me."

Cameron: "I just want you to be comfortable."
Buffy: "I'm comfy. I'm so comfy, I'm nodding off, actually."
Cameron: "Are you wearing a bra?"

Cameron: "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you."
Buffy: "Oh, it's not me I'm worried about."

"So I'm treated like the baddie, just because he has a sprained wrist and a bloody nose...and I don't have a scratch on me. Which, granted, hurts my case a little, on the surface."

Buffy: "So, anything new with you guys?"
Giles: "Thank you for taking an interest."

Buffy: "So, something ripped him open and ate out his insides."
Willow: "Like an Oreo cookie. Well, except for, you know, without the chocolatey cookie goodness."

Willow: "So we're looking for a beastie."
Giles: "That eats humans whole--except for the skin."
Buffy: "This doesn't make any sense."
Xander: "Yeah, the skin's the best part."
Buffy: "Any demons with high cholesterol?"
Giles: "..."
Buffy: "You're gonna think about that later, mister, and you're gonna laugh."

"And raises the possibility that someone brought forth the sea monster from whence it came to exact that revenge. 'From whence it came...'? (to Giles) I'm spending way too much time around you."

"I'm a swim groupie. Oh, yeah, you know, there's just something about the smell of chlorine on a guy. Oh, baby."

"Obviously, my sex appeal is on the fritz today..."

Gage: "Was that the thing that killed Cameron?"
Buffy: "No, that was something else."
Gage: "Something else?"
Buffy: "Yeah, Unfortunately, we have a lot of something elses in this town."

Cordelia: "I thought Angel liked blood."
Buffy: "He used to."
Willow: "Maybe his eyes were too big for his stomach."

Xander: "I'm undercover!"
Buffy: "You're not under much."

Cordelia: "I'm dating a swimmer from the Sunnydale swim team."
Buffy: "You can die happy."

Giles: "Well, the good news is that it would appear that none of your team actually died."
Buffy: "But, the bad news is... they're monsters."

Buffy: "They needed to win, and winning equals trophies, which equals prestige for the school. You see how they're treated. It's been like that forever."
Xander: "Sure. The discus throwers got the best seats at all the crucifixions."
Buffy: "Meanwhile, I'm breaking my nails every day battling the forces of evil, and my French teacher can't even remember my name."

Xander: "We have to find an antidote, don't you think? The clock is ticking,people!"
Buffy: "I wouldn't break out the tartar sauce just yet. It's not like you were exposed more than once. Twice?"
Xander: "Three times a fish guy."

"I think we'd better find the rest of the swim team and lock them up before they get in touch with their inner halibut."

Willow: "I'll talk to Nurse Greenliegh."
Buffy: "You're really getting into this interrogation thing."
Willow: "The trick is not to leave any marks."

Coach: "You got some imagination, Missy."
Buffy: "Oh, well, right now I'm imagining you in jail. You're wearing a big orange suit, and, oh look, the guards are beating you up."

Coach: "Boy, when they were handing out school spirit, you didn't even stand in line, did you?"
Buffy: "No. I was in the line for shred of sanity. Which you obviously skipped."

"Those boys really love their coach."

Becoming - Part 1



Oz: "I was a little unclear about some of the themes."
Buffy: "The theme is Angel's too much of a coward to take me on face-to-face."

Willow: "Do you think you're ready to fight Angel?"
Buffy: "I wish people would stop asking me that. Yes, I'm ready. I'm also willing and able."

Principal Snyder: "This isn't an orgy, people. It's a classroom."
Buffy: "Yeah. Where they teach lunch."
Principal Snyder: "Just give me a reason to kick you out, Summers. Just give me a reason."
Cordelia: "How 'bout because you're a tiny, impotent Nazi with a bug up his butt the size of an emu.

Willow: "Do you really expect Angel to turn up tonight?"
Buffy: "No, I don't expect him to. But that's usually when he does."

Buffy: "This doesn't make any sense."
Willow: "Oh, sure it does. See...oh no, this doesn't make any sense."
Buffy: "It's senseless!"
Willow: "It is, but at least you know that, so you're learning."
Buffy: "Yay me!"

"I mean, when in the real world am I ever gonna' need chemistry or history or math or the English language?"

Buffy: "This feels kind of morbid."
Willow: "I've gone through most of her files already."
Buffy: "Does that make it less morbid or you really morbid?"

Buffy: "I don't want you putting yourself in any danger, Will."
Willow: "And I don't want danger. Big no to danger."

Buffy: "What happened to Angel wasn't his fault."
Xander: "Yeah, but what happened to Ms. Calendar is. You can paint this any way you want, but the way I see it is that you wanna' forget all about Ms. Calendar's murder so you can get your boyfriend back."

"Yeah, Xander was pretty much being a...Willow! Where did you learn that word? My God, you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

Buffy: "You know, polite people call before they jump out of the bushes and attack you."
Kendra: "Just wanted to test your reflexes."
Buffy: "How about testing my face-punching 'cause I think you'll find it's improved."

"And you're sure this was the tomb of Alfalfa?"

"So that would be the literal kind of 'sucked into Hell'. Neat."

"So, I'm like, 'Dad, you want me to go to the dance in an outfit I've already worn? Why do you hate me?'"

Buffy: "Tyler would have to crawl on his hands and knees to get me to go to the dance with him, which actually he's supposed to do after practice, so I'm gonna' wait."
Buffette: "Okay! See you later!"
Buffy: "Call me! Call me! Call me!"

Merrick: "Buffy Summers?"
Buffy: "Yeah? Hi! What?"

"You're not from Bullock's, are you? 'Cause I meant to pay for that lipstick."

Merrick: "Your destiny awaits."
Buffy: "I don't have a destiny. I'm destiny free, really."

Merrick: "You are the Chosen One. You alone can stop them."
Buffy: "Who?"
Watcher: "The vampires."
Buffy: "Huh?"

"Oh! Not the heart!"

Kendra: "I call it Mr. Pointy."
Buffy: "You named your stake?"
Kendra: "Yes."
Buffy: "Remind me to get you a stuffed animal."

Angel: "I wasn't sure you'd come."
Buffy: "After your immolation-o-gram? Come on, I had to show. Shouldn't you be out destroying the world right now, pulling the sword out of Al Franken or whatever his name is?"

Angel: "You are the one thing in this dimension I will miss."
Buffy: "This is a beautiful moment we're having. Can we please fight?"

Angel: "Gosh, I was hoping we could get back together. What do you think, do we have a shot?"
Buffy: "..."
Angel: "All right, we'll fight."

Angel: "Maybe I'll just go home, destroy the world."
Buffy: "Yeah, I think Mr. Pointy will have something to say about that."

Becoming - Part 2



Principal Snyder: "Buffy Summers. If there's trouble, she's behind it."
Buffy: "You stupid little troll. You have no idea."
Principal Snyder: "Attitude problem. Serious."

"Okay, that was about equal parts protecting me and copping a feel, right?"

Buffy: "What are you doing here?"
Whistler: "Waiting for you."
Buffy: "Why?"
Whistler: "'Cause I need a date to the prom."
Buffy: "I've had a really bad day, okay? If you have information worth hearing, then I am grateful for it. If you're gonna crack jokes, then I'm gonna pull out your rib cage and wear it as a hat."
Whistler: "Hello to the imagery! Very nice."

Whistler: "It wasn't supposed to go down like this. Nobody saw you coming. I figured this for Angel's big day. But I thought he was here to stop Acathla, not to bring him forth. Then you two made with the smoochies. Now he's a creep again."
Buffy: "What are you, just some immortal demon sent down to even the score between good and evil?"
Whistler: "Wow. Good guess."
Buffy: "Then why don't you try getting off your immortal ass and fighting evil once in a while?"

Spike: "Hey! White flag here. I quit."
Buffy: "Let me clear this up for you. We're mortal enemies. We don't get time-outs."

Buffy: "What do you want?"
Spike: "I told you. I want to stop Angel. I want to save the world."
Buffy: "Okay, you do remember that you're a vampire, right?"
Spike: "We like to talk big... vampires do. "I'm going to destroy the world." That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I _like_ this world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Good-bye, Picadilly. Farewell, Leicester-bloody-Square."

"The whole earth may be sucked into hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big 'ho? Well, let me take this opportunity to not care."


Buffy: "All right, talk."
Spike: "I'm just gonna kill this guy..."
Buffy: "Ahem!"
Spike: "Oh, right."

Spike: "What, your Mom doesn't know?"
Joyce: "Know what?"
Buffy: "That I'm, uh...in a band. A rock band...with Spike here."
Spike: "Right. She plays the-the triangle--"
Buffy: "--Drums."
Spike: "Drums, yeah. She's hell on the old skins, you know."

"Mom...I'm a vampire slayer."

Buffy: "She killed Kendra."
Spike: "Dru bagged a Slayer? She didn't tell me. Good for her!"
Buffy: "..."
Spike: "Though not from your perspective, I suppose."

Joyce: "Now that we know you're innocent..."
Buffy: "What? You thought I was guilty? Jeez, feelin' the love in this room."

Buffy: "Get them involved, you'll get them killed."
Joyce: "Well, you're not going to hurt them, are you?"
Buffy: "I'm a Slayer, not a postal worker."

"Do...do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or...God, even studying! But I have to save the world... again."

Xander: "Now that's a new look for you."
Buffy: "It's a present for Angel."

Angel: "My boy Acathla here is about to wake up. You're going to Hell."
Buffy: "Save me a seat."
