Quotes 

• Rupert Giles : [to himself]  Unbelievable. "Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead." Americans.

• Oz : We should figure out what kinda deal this is. I mean, is it a-a gathering, a shindig or a hootenanny?

  Cordelia Chase : What's the difference?

  Oz : 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.

  Xander Harris : Well, I hate brie.

  Cordelia Chase : I know. It smells like Giles' cat.

  Rupert Giles : It's not my...

• Buffy Summers : I got in a few hours ago, but I went to go see my mom first.

  Rupert Giles : Yes. Yes, of course. How-How did you find her?

  Buffy Summers : Well, I pretty much remembered the address.

• Rupert Giles : You can't keep her out of this school.

  Principal Snyder : I think you'll find I can.

  Rupert Giles : You had no grounds for expelling her.

  Principal Snyder : I have grounds, I have precedent... and a tingly kind of feeling.

  Rupert Giles : Buffy Summers is a minor and is entitled to a public education. Your personal dislike of the girl doesn't legally entitle you to...

  Principal Snyder : Why don't you take it up with the city council?

  Rupert Giles : I thought I'd start wit the state Supreme Court... You're powerful in local circles, but I believe I can make life very difficult for you, professionally speaking... And Buffy will be allowed back in.

  Principal Snyder : Sorry. I'm not convinced.

  [Synder starts to leave and Giles grabs him then slams and holds him against file cabinets] 

  Rupert Giles : Would you like me to convince you?
