Quotes 

• Professor Maggie Walsh : So, the Slayer!

  Buffy Summers : Yeah. That's me.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : We thought you were a myth.

  Buffy Summers : Well, you were myth-taken

• Rupert Giles : Ho-How did you know it was me?

  Buffy Summers : Your eyes... You're the only person in the world that can look that annoyed with me.

• Riley Finn : Wow.

  Buffy Summers : Those were my best stories, and I didn't tell you the "Buffy breaks her butt" stories.

  Riley Finn : But you killed the... You did the thing with that... You drowned. And the snake...? Not to mention *daily* slayage of... Wow.

  Buffy Summers : It's no big, really. Hey, who wants ice cream?

  Riley Finn : Buffy... When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending... I just assumed that was a big week for you. It turns out I suddenly find myself... needing to know the plural of apocalypse.

• Buffy Summers : I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable.

  [looks at Willow's plate] 

  Buffy Summers : Ooh, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

  Willow Rosenberg : [laughing]  You should always have a new boyfriend. You're so much fun right now.

• Professor Maggie Walsh : Oh, I'm, um, quite sure of that... as I'm just as sure we can learn much from each other. I'm working on getting you clearance to come into the Initiative. I think you'll find the results of our operation most impressive. Agent Finn here, alone, has killed or captured... How many is it?

  Riley Finn : Seventeen. Eleven vampires, six demons.

  Buffy Summers : Oh... Wow. I mean, that's... seventeen.

  Professor Maggie Walsh : What about you?

  Buffy Summers : Me?

  Professor Maggie Walsh : How many hostilities would you say you've slain?

• Riley Finn : You're *really* strong. Like, Spider-Man strong.

  Buffy Summers : Yeah. But, I don't stick to stuff. But, yeah.

• Buffy Summers : [to Giles]  Uh-oh. You have but-face.

  [Giles looks confused] 

  Buffy Summers : You look like you're gonna say 'but."

• Buffy Summers : Look, if you've been fighting since you were fifteen, you'd have a hefty resume, too.

  Riley Finn : Fifteen?

  Buffy Summers : I know. Wow. The point is, that-that we have different amounts of experience, you know? And plus, I do have that whole preternatural Slayer strength deal.

  Riley Finn : I've seen. Don't get me wrong, the girls I grew up with could hold their own, but... well, I'm not even sure I could take you.

  Buffy Summers : That all depends on your meaning.

• [Buffy breaks the door to get into the Magic Shop] 

  Riley Finn : You shouldn't have done that to the door.

  Buffy Summers : I do *not* have time to play by the rules tonight.

  Riley Finn : I have a master key. It opens every shop on Main Street.

  Buffy Summers : Oh... Well, next time. Absolutely.

• Buffy Summers : Giles was the librarian at my high school.

  Riley Finn : [to Giles]  Ah. I've seen the library. It's gone downhill since you left.

• Professor Maggie Walsh : It's only our methods that differ. We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry... and *you*, if I understand correctly... poke them with a sharp stick.

  Buffy Summers : Uh, it's more effective than it sounds.

• [first lines] 

  Riley Finn : We're not expecting anyone, are we?

  Buffy Summers : Willow said she was gonna be at the science library all night.

  Riley Finn : Is that right?

  [Willow enters the room] 

  Buffy Summers : Uh, apparently not.

• Buffy Summers : But this is so nice, having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it would still be the bestest Buffy birthday bash in a big, long while.

• Rupert Giles : And I believe that, but he's part of something that we, we don't really understand.

  Buffy Summers : Are you sure you're not just saying this because you don't like Riley's boss?

  Rupert Giles : No, no, I'm not saying that at all... Though I do hate her quite a lot.
