Quotes 

• Buffy Summers : Not too crazy? Those are your credentials?

  Mr. Platt : Look, Buffy, any person, grown-up, shrink, Pope, any person who claims to be totally sane is either lying or not very bright. I mean, everyone has problems. Everybody has demons, right?

  Buffy Summers : Gotta say I'm with you on that.

• Buffy Summers : 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.

• Buffy Summers : It's tricky, covering a fresh shiner like that. You know what works?

  Debbie Foley : What?

  Buffy Summers : Don't get hit.

• Faith : All men are beasts, Buffy.

  Buffy Summers : Okay. I was hoping to not get that cynical till I was at least forty.

  Faith : It's not cynical. I mean, it's realistic. Every guy from Manimal down to Mr. "I Lov The English Patient" has beast in him. And I don't care how sensitive they act. They're all still just in it for the chase.

• [Buffy enters the library, with an uncomfortableness in the air] 

  Buffy Summers : I'm afraid to ask.

  Cordelia Chase : Oz ate someone last night.

  Willow Rosenberg : He did not!

  Xander Harris : Oz does not eat people. It's more werewolf play. You know, I bat you around a little bit, like a cat toy. I have harmless, wolf fun. Is it Oz's fault that, you know, side effect, people get cut to ribbons, and maybe then he'll take a little nibble and... I'm not helping, am I?

• Buffy Summers : Let's just pretend for a second that... Angel somehow found his way back to Sunnydale... What would he be like?

  Rupert Giles : I really can't say. Fr-From what is known about that dimension, it would suggest a world of brutal torment. And... time moves quite differently there, so...

  Buffy Summers : I remember. So... he would have been down there for hundreds of years...

  Rupert Giles : Yes.

  Buffy Summers : ...of torture.

• [first lines] 

  Buffy Summers : [voice over]  One night after supper, the lead dog turned up a snowshoe rabbit. The dog lay down low to the race, his body flashing forward, leap by leap.

  Buffy Summers , Willow Rosenberg : [voice over]  He was sounding the deeps of his nature, and the parts of his nature...

  Willow Rosenberg : [reading]  "... that were deeper than he, going back into the wombs of time. The rabbit could not..."

  [werewolf Oz jumps at the bars in the cage] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Okay. Uh, maybe we should try a less stimulating passage.

• [last lines] 

  Buffy Summers : [voice over]  Night came on, and a full moon rose high over the trees, lighting the land till it lay bathed in ghostly day. And the strain of the primitive remained alive and active. Faithfulness and devotion, things born of fire and roof were his, yet he retained his wildness and wiliness. And from the depths of the forest, a call still sounded.

• [Buffy in the cafeteria with several Jell-O based foods on her tray] 

  Buffy Summers : Hey. Uh... I can't-I can't back you on that lunch. Nutritional demerits.

  Scott Hope : Oh. My stomach doesn't want hard food today. But there's fruit in it.

  Buffy Summers : Those are marshmallows.

• Buffy Summers : [about Mr. Platt]  Oh, he definitely... marches to the beat of his own drummer. A-actually, I think he makes his own drums.

  Scott Hope : Well, my mom says that therapy can be completely helpful.

  Pete Clarner : Yeah, but your mom has the wattage of a Zippo lighter, Scott.

  Scott Hope : I hope you realize I don't actually know these people. I just... I thought you would like me better if I had friends, so I hired them.
