"That really never works..."

Xander: "First of all, what was with the acrobatics? How did that happen?"
Oz: "Wasn't Andy Hoelich on the gymnastics team?"
Xander: "That's right, he was. Cheater! Okay, and the second problem I'm having... 'Come and get it, big boy'?"
Willow: "Well, the Slayer always says a pun or a witty play on words, and I think it throws the vampires off and it makes 'em frightened because I'm wisecracking, okay, I didn't really have a chance to work on that one but you try it every time!"
Oz: "If I may suggest: "This time, it's personal." I mean, there's a reason why it's a classic."
Xander: "I've always been amazed with how Buffy fought, but in a way, I feel like we took her punning for granted."
Willow: "Xander! Past tense rule!?"

Oz: "Well, it's sort of a funny story. You remember when I didn't graduate?"
Willow: "Well, I know you had a lot of incompletes, but that's what summer school was for."
Oz: "Yeah. Well, you remember when I didn't go?"

Willow: "But you never said anything! How am I supposed to react to this rather alarming news?"
Oz: "Well, actually, I was pretty much banking on you finding it cute."
Willow: "Well, traditionally, you know, repeating a grade isn't exactly a turn-on. And you're practically a genius! You're Mr. Test-Scores." It's all a little weird."
Oz: "So the cute thing is out?"

Willow: "I'm trying to get to cute, really, but I'm still sort of stuck on strange."
Oz: "Well, I'd be willing to bargain down to eccentric, with an option on cool."

Xander: "Yeah, the slaying isn't getting any easier, either."
Oz: "I don't know, I think we're kinda getting a rhythm down."
Xander: "We're losing half the vamps."
Oz: "Yeah, but... rhythmically."
Willow: "We just need to work on our timing, I think."
Xander: "Well, I know what we need."
Oz: "A vampire Slayer?"
Xander: "Next best thing... bait."

Oz: "Hey, so you're not wanted for murder anymore."
Buffy: "Good. That was such a drag."

Willow: "We dusted nine out of ten."
Oz: "Six out of ten."
Willow: "Six out of ten."

"It looks dead. It smells dead. Yet it's moving around. That's interesting."

"Well, I like it. I think you should call it Patches."

"Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings. Shindig: dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage. And hootenanny: well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny."

"Yeah, I think I could supply some dingo action."

"I think the dead man's party's moved upstairs."

"All right, prepare to uncouple. Uncouple."

Cordelia: "When did you become Martha Stewart?"
Buffy: "First of all, Martha Stewart knows jack about hand-cut prosciutto."
Xander: "I don't believe she slays either."
Oz: "Oh, I hear she can, but she doesn't like to."

Willow: "Oh, I didn't mean the bad thing with your mouth. I meant that little half-smile thing that you--. You're supposed to stop me when I do that."
Oz: "I like when you do that."

Willow: "Come on, Buffy. I mean, the guy is charm, and, and normal, which is what you wanted to get back to."
Oz: "Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'."

"I'm gonna' go out on a limb and say there's a new Slayer in town."

Willow: "Oz is a werewolf."
Buffy: "It's a long story."
Oz: "I got bit."
Buffy: "Apparently not that long."

Faith: "Hey, as long as you don't go scratchin' at me or humpin' my leg, we're five-by-five, ya' know?"
Oz: "Fair enough."

Debbie: "Hi, Oz. Hey, you're not doing jazz band this year?
Oz: "Oh, can't take the pressure. It's not the music that's hard, it's the marching.
Buffy: "We have a marching jazz band?
Oz: "Yeah, but, you know, since the best jazz is improvisational, we'd be going off in all directions, banging into floats. Scary.
Willow: "He's just being Oz.
Oz: "Pretty much full-time.

Oz: "Senior bio? I kind of aced that final.
Willow: "And how did you do that? Oh, right, you showed up.

Giles: "Right. It's good to see you. Um, no need to panic.
Oz: "Just a thought: Poker, not your game.

Giles: "We could ask Faith to watch over him.
Oz: "What, you're having a Slayer watch me? Oh, good, we're not overreacting.

Oz: "Okay, you know that thing where you bail in the middle of an upsetting conversation? I have to do that. It's kind of dramatic, I know, but... sometimes it's a necessary guy thing.
Willow: "And I want you to do the guy thing, but...(points at clock)

Giles: "Clearly, we're looking for a depraved, sadistic animal.
Oz: "Present. Hey, I may be a cold-blooded jelly doughnut, but my timing is impeccable.

Giles: "Faith, you and I team. Willow, stick with Buffy.
Oz: "And I'll... go lock myself in the cage.

Oz: "This is kind of a bad time.
Pete: "Well, I guess you didn't think about that when you put the moves on Debbie.
Oz: "We talked, yeah, but it was move-free.

"I'm serious. Something's gonna happen that you probably won't believe. (Pete transforms) Or you might.

"Time's up. Rules change.

"I could help you get ready. There's this whole trick to antonyms but... this isn't the place."

Willow: "Oz is the highest scoring person never to graduate!"
Buffy: "Isn't she cute when she's proud?"
Oz: "She's always cute."

Xander: "Those tall fuzzy hats aren't cheap, huh?"
Oz: "But they go with everything."

"Teenagers. That's a sobering mirror to look into, huh?"

Principal Snyder (to Oz): "You've got great hair."

Willow: "It'll be okay when we get to Giles."
Oz: "Of course, I mean, even if he's sixteen he's still Giles, right? He's probably a pretty together guy."
Willow: "Yeah, well...."
Oz: "What?"
Buffy: "Giles at sixteen? Less Together Guy, more Bad Magic, Hates the World, Ticking Time Bomb Guy."
Oz: "Well, then I guess your mom's in a lot of trouble."

Buffy: "Something's weird."
Oz: "Something's not?"

Buffy: "So where are all the vampires? The soup's on but no one's grabbing a spoon."
Oz: "Something's happening. Someplace that's else."

Buffy: "You guys get Xander and Cordelia. Go to the library and look it up."
Oz: "Candy curses?"
Willow: "Disturbing second childhood. Got it."
Buffy: "Rat boy and I are going to the source."

Principal Snyder: "You look like four young people with too much time on your hands."
Oz: "Not really."
Cordelia: "Busy like a bee actually. Bee-like."

Revelations

Willow: "Oz! Hey! Have a seat... except, we don't have any seats."
Oz: "It's okay, I'll just scrunch in."

Xander: "Nah, a little living fire, a little mesquite - gone for good."
Oz: "Sounds like we missed a lot of fun."
Xander: "Then we're telling it wrong."

Lover's Walk

Oz: "I can see why you'd be upset. That was my sarcastic voice."
Xander: "You know, it sounds a lot like your regular voice."
Oz: "I've been told that."

Willow: "What's this?"
Oz: "It's a gift."
Willow: "What's the occasion?"
Oz: "Pretty much you are."
Willow: "It's a little Pez witch!
Oz: "It's kind of a theme present. Do you like it?
Willow: "I like. I more than like. Oz, this is probably the sweetest... We have to find a little Pez werewolf, so little Pez witch can have a boyfriend."
Oz: "I don't think they make a werewolf Pez. You might have to settle for a wacky cartoon dog."

Willow: "This is... just so thoughtful."
Oz: "Well, I think about you."
Willow: "Oh, I don't have anything to give you."
Oz: "Yeah, you do."

Oz: " It's Willow. She's nearby."
Cordelia: "What? You can smell her? She doesn't even wear perfume."
Oz: "She's afraid."
Cordelia: "Oh my god. Is this some sort of residual werewolf thing? This is very disturbing."
Oz: "I really agree."

The Wish

"So Cordelia wished for something? If it was a long, healthy life, she should get her money back."

Amends/A Buffy Christmas

Oz: "Seeing you with Xander, it was... Well, I've never felt that way before. When it wasn't a full moon. But I know you guys have a history."
Willow: "But it's a history that's in the past. Well, I--I guess most history's in the past."

"I miss you... like, every second. It's like I lost an arm, or worse, a torso."

"You ever have that dream where you're in a play, and it's the middle of the play, and you really don't know your lines, and you kind of don't know the plot?"

Willow: "Where are you going?"
Oz: "No, I'm not going. Just a dramatic gesture."

Willow: "Oz, I wanna' be with you... first."
Oz: "I think we should sit down again."

"I mean, you look great, you know, and you got the Barry working for you, and it's all... good."

Gingerbread

Oz: "I haven't seen you all day. Where you been?"
Xander: "Not with me. No sir. Ask anyone. No."

Giles: "There is a fringe theory, held by a few folklorists, that some regional stories have actual, very literal antecedents."
Buffy: "And in some language that's English?"
Oz: "Fairy tales are real."

Xander: "What's with the grim? We're here to join you guys. No, really, why should you guys have all the fun? We want to be part of the hate."
Oz: "Just so we're clear, you guys know you're nuts, right?"

"We're here to save you."

Helpless

"It's not so girlie. Ice is cool. It's water, but it's not."

Xander: "You know, maybe we're on the wrong track with the whole spell, curse, and whammy thing. Maybe what we should be looking for is something like, um, Slayer kryptonite."
Oz: "Faulty metaphor. Kryptonite kills."
Xander: "You're assuming I meant the green kryptonite. I was referring, of course, to the red kryptonite, which drains Superman of his powers."
Oz: "Wrong. The gold kryptonite's the power-sucker. The red kryptonite mutates Superman into some sort of weird..."
Buffy: "Guys. Reality."

Buffy: "You know, nothing's really going to change. The important thing is that I kept up my special birthday tradition of gut-wrenching misery and horror."
Oz: "Bright side to everything."

Bad Girls

Xander: "Is anyone else intimidated? Because I'm just expecting thin slips of paper with the words "no way" written in crayon."
Oz: "They're typing those now."

"Well, if I may suggest... graduate. Getting left back, it's not the thrill ride you'd expect."

Doppelgangland

Oz: "There's something about you that's causing me to hug you. It's like I have no will of my own."
Willow: "Where were you yesterday?"
Oz: "We got back late, sort of very."
Willow: "We? Who? Where?"

Willow: "Maybe I would have liked to go."
Oz: "Didn't figure you for missing school."
Willow: "You think I'm boring."
Oz: "I'd call that a radical interpretation of the text."

Devon: "Man, we need a roadie. Other bands have roadies."
Oz: "Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven completely different chords."
Devon: "That's just, like, fruity jazz bands."

Alfonse: Nobody cause any trouble, or try to leave.. and nobody gets hurt."
Angel: "Why don't I believe him?"
Oz: "Well, he lacks credibility."

Oz: "You don't want to do this."
Vampire Willow: "I don't? But I'm so good at it."

Oz: "Get Buffy."

Earshot

Giles: "It's not the ritual flaying of the demon Azareth, nor the, um... I don't know what's going to happen."
Oz: "That was sort of an anti-climax."

Buffy: "Is it me, or is this really lame?"
Oz: "I don't know -- I usually enjoy lame, but this is leaving me kinda cold."

Willow: "The school paper is edging on depressing lately. Have you guys noticed that?"
Oz: "I don't know. I always go straight to the obits."

(to Xander): "You're a very complex man, aren't you?"

Oz: "It was intense."
Xander: "Yeah, for a minute there, I thought you were going to make an expression."
Oz: "Well, I felt one coming on, I won't lie."

"I am my thoughts. If they exist in her, Buffy contains everything that is me, and she becomes me. I cease to exist."

"No one else exists, either. Buffy is all of us. We think, therefore she is."

"If you don't need me, I'm gonna follow the redhead."

Xander: "I'm still having trouble with the fact that one of us is just going to gun everybody down for no reason."
Cordelia: "Yeah, because THAT never happens in American high schools."
Oz: "It's bordering on trendy at this point."

Freddy: "You're not here about the review?"
Oz: "The review?"
Freddy: "Yeah. Last Thursday..."
Oz: "'Dingoes Ate My Baby played their instruments as if they had plump polish sausages taped to their fingers.'"
Freddy: "Sorry, man."
Oz: (pause) "No, it's fair."

Choices

Buffy: "But you - I can't believe you got into Oxford!"
Willow: "It's pretty exciting."
Oz: "There's some deep academia there."

Xander: "Go ahead, mock me."
Oz: "I think she just did."
Xander: "We bohemian, anti-establishment types have always been persecuted."
Oz: "Well, sure, you're all so weird."

Oz: "Well, we better be sure. Destroying this box is supposed to be a pretty delicate operation."
Xander: "Then they shouldn't leave it in the hands of the lay people."

Oz: "See, there's you, there's me."
Xander: "Well, how can you tell which is which? I mean, they both kind of look stick-figurey to me."
Oz: "Well, this one's me. See the little guitar?"

"Okay... toad me."

Oz: "Whole place is locked down, except for the front."
Xander: "Yeah, it gives me that comforting "trapped" feeling."

The Prom

Oz: "Anya, huh? Interesting choice."
Xander: "Choice is kind of a broad term for my situation. See, it's either Anya, or the sock puppet of love for this boy."
Willow: "Well, if Anya tries to get you killed, put me down for a big 'I told you so.'"

"Hey, pause it."

"Well, he didn't seem the murderous type, anyway."

"Once again, the Hellmouth puts the "special" in special occasion."

Oz: "Everything cool?"
Buffy: "Coolest. Devil dogs are history. How's the prom?"
Oz: "Strangely affecting. I got all teared up when they played 'We Are Family'."

Graduation Day, Part 1

"Our lives are different than other people's."

Oz: "You think I don't care?"
Willow: "I think we could be dead in two days time, and you're being ironic detachment guy."
Oz: "Would it help you if I panicked?"
Willow: "Yes! It'd be swell."

Willow: "What are you doing?"
Oz: "Panicking."

Willow: "I feel different, you know? But I guess that makes sense. Do you feel different? Oh, no, you've already... Probably no big change for you. It was nice. Was it nice? Should this be a quiet moment?"
Oz: "I know exactly what you mean."
Willow: "Which part?"
Oz: "Everything feels different."

Graduation Day, Part 2

Oz: "Any change?"
Willow: "He's delirious. He thought I was Buffy."
Oz: "You, too, huh?"

Buffy: "Is Angel here?"
Oz: "He had to go. Got kinda sunny."

Cordelia: "I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan."
Oz: "We attack the Mayor with hummus."
Cordelia: "I stand corrected."
Oz: "Just keeping things in perspective."
Cordelia: "Thank you."

Xander: "I'm starting to lean towards the Hummus Offensive."
Oz: "They'll never see it coming."

Oz: "Who's gonna stoke it up?"
Buffy: "Feel up to it?"
Giles: "I suppose it should be I. Strangely fitting in a grotesque fashion."

Oz: "Are you nervous?"
Willow: "Only in a terrified way."
Oz: "We're gonna make it through this."
Willow: "Are you sure?"
Oz: "I sound pretty sure, don't I?"
Willow: "Yeah."
Oz: "Well, then I must be sure."
Willow: "Is that just a comforting way of not answering the question?"

Oz: "Guys, take a moment to deal with this. We survived. Buffy: "It was a hell of a battle."
Oz: "Not the battle. High School. We're taking a moment. And we're done."
