Season Five
Buffy
Vs. Dracula
Xander: "I'm exhausted just looking at those two. All this splashing and jumping
and running... shouldn't relaxing involve less exertion?"
Anya: "Absolutely. Exertion can lead to sweatiness."
Tara: "Which can cause the pain and heartbreak of stinkiness. Better to just
stay put."
Willow: "I think we've just put our finger on why we're the sidekicks."
Tara: "You thought Dracula was sexy?"
Willow: "Oh, no. He, he was... yuch."
Anya: "Right, except for the whole tall, dark, and handsome thing... yucko."
Out
Of My Mind
Tara: "Hmmm."
Willow: "What do you see?"
Tara: "Willow hands."
Tara: "How'd you do that with the light?"
Willow: "Oh, you know, you taught me."
Tara: "I taught you a teeny tinkerbell light."
Willow: "Okay, so I tinkered with the tinkerbell."
Family
Willow: "Tell me a story."
Tara: "Okay. Once upon a time, there was a kitty. She was very little and she
was all alone and nobody wanted her."
Willow: "This is a very upsetting story."
Tara: "Oh, oh, but it gets better. 'Cause one day the kitty was running around
the street and a man came and swooped her up and took her to the pound. And
at the pound there were lots of other kitties, and there were puppies, and some
ferrets."
Willow: "Were there dolphins?"
Tara: "Yes, many dolphins at the pound."
Willow: "Was there a camel?"
Tara: "There was the front of a camel. A half-camel."
Willow: "Did the kitty get chosen by some nice people?"
Tara: "Well, now you've ruined the ending."
Willow: "I don't need to be snuggled."
Tara: "Vixen."
Tara: "Yeah, you learn her source, and we'll introduce her to her insect reflection.
(everyone stops & stares at her) Th-that was funny if you, um, studied taglarin
mythic rites... and are a complete dork."
Riley: "Then how come Xander didn't laugh?"
Xander: "I don't know that taglarin stuff."
Riley: "Oh."
Spike: "Why don't I make this simple." (punches Tara)
Tara: "Ow!"
Spike: "Ow!" (clutches head)
Tara: "He hurt my nose."
Spike: "Yeah, you're welcome."
Tara: "'Cause your insect reflection reflects your insignificance in terms of
the karmic cycle."
Anya: (thinks) "But it's still not funny."
Tara: "Even when I'm at my worst, you always make me feel special. How do you
do that?"
Willow: "Magic."
Shadow
Tara: "'Your one-stop spot to shop for all your occult needs.' Catchy."
Giles: "You think so?"
Tara: "Uh-huh. In a hard-to-read sort of way, but I think it's great."
Listening
To Fear
Willow: "You know what's weird?"
Tara: "Japanese commercials are weird."
Willow: "There's Canis Minor, and Cassiopeia."
Tara: "And the Big Pineapple."
Willow: "Um, you know, I'm not sure I remember that one..."
Tara: "The real ones never made sense to me. I sort of have my own."
Willow: "Teach me."
Tara: "See those stars over there? 'Short man looking uncomfortable.' 'A moose
getting a sponge bath.' 'Little pile o' crackers.' That... that was a bit of
a stretch. You do it. What would you call... that one."
Willow: "Let's see. A huge flaming meteor about to crash into something!"
Willow: "This is
exactly what you need. A 20th birthday party with... with presents and funny
hats and those candles that don't blow out. Those used to scare me."
Tara: "Me too."
"She... she's a brain
sucker?"
Tara: "We thought you'd get lots of crossbows and other killy stuff."
Willow: "Yeah, so we figured, less killy, more frilly."
Tara: "Willow's good
with all that computer stuff, but me not so much. Do you really understand all
that?"
Anya: "Oh, well at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like,
'Whoa, I'm 1100 years old.' I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans."
Tara: "I go on-line sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's depressing."
Tara: "At least she didn't do too much damage."
Xander: "Are you kidding? Double-glazed glass ain't cheap. And the jamb needs
to be completely repaired. Oh, dear god, I'm the grown-up who sees the world
through my job. I'm like my Uncle Dave the plumber, and I must be shunned."
Willow: "Okay."
Buffy: "This may sound dumb, but I kind of got the impression that she was a--"
Tara: "Robot."
Xander & everyone: "Oh yeah, robot."
Buffy: "Tonight, I better go back and rescue Giles. He's been watching Dawn
while my Mom's out on her date. And I have a feeling there's only so much he
can take."
Tara: "Oh, Giles and Dawny? I bet they ended up having a blast."
The Body
"Oh, baby. Want me to rub your tummy? She likes it when I-- Uh, stop explaining
things."
Anya: "No, I mean, it's a myth that it's a myth. There is a Santa Claus."
Xander: "The advantage of having a thousand-year-old girlfriend. Inside scoop."
Tara: "There's a Santa Claus?"
Anya: "Mm-hmm. Been around since, like, the 1500s. But he wasn't always called
Santa. But with, you know, Christmas night, flying reindeer, coming down the
chimney -- all true."
Dawn: "All true?"
Anya: "Well, he doesn't traditionally bring presents so much as, you know, disembowel
children. But otherwise..."
Tara: "Did I miss
something?"
Anya: "Xander decided that he blames the wall."
