Quotes
-
Rupert Giles : To forgive is an act of compassion, Buffy. It's-it's... it's not done because people deserve it. It's done because they need it.
Buffy Summers : No. James destroyed the one person he loved the most in a moment of blind passion. And that's not something you forgive, no matter why he did what he did. And no matter if he knows now that it was wrong and selfish and stupid. It is just something he's gonna have to live with.
Xander Harris : He can't live with it, Buff... He's dead.
[Buffy leaves the room]
Cordelia Chase : Okay. Over-identify much?
-
Angelus : Fun fact about wasps... They have no taste for the undead. Hey, not that a sting would do me any damage, it's just... tonight's special. I wanted to look my best for you.
[Buffy is possessed by the ghost James]
Buffy Summers : You're the only one... The only person I can talk to.
Angelus : Gosh, Buff. That's really pathetic.
Buffy Summers : You can't make me disappear just because you say it's over.
Angelus : Actually... I can. In fact...
[Angelus is possessed by the ghost Grace]
Angelus : I just want you to be able to have some kind of normal life. We can never have that. Don't you see?
Buffy Summers : I don't give a *damn* about a normal life! I'm going crazy not seeing you... I think about you every minute.
-
Willow Rosenberg : You're thinking too much. Maybe you need to be impulsive.
Buffy Summers : Impulsive? Do you remember my ex-boyfriend, the vampire? I slept with him, he lost his soul, now my boyfriend's gone forever and the demon that wears his face is killing my friends. The next impulsive decision I make will involve my choice of dentures.
Willow Rosenberg : Okay, the Angel thing went badly, I'm on board with that, but that's not your fault. And anyways, love isn't always like that. Love can be... nice.
-
Principal Snyder : I'm sure you know why I asked you here.
Buffy Summers : To thank me?
Principal Snyder : That's right, I wanna thank you. What would Sunnydale High do without you around to incite mayhem, chaos and disorder?
Buffy Summers : I don't incite! Well, I stopped that boy from killing his girlfriend. Ask him. Ask the janitor.
Principal Snyder : People can be coerced, Summers. I'm no stranger to conspiracy. I saw JFK. I'm a truth seeker. I've got a missing gun and two confused kids on my hands. Pieces of the puzzle. And I'm gonna look at all the pieces carefully and rationally, and I'm gonna keep looking until I know exactly how this is all your fault.
Intercom : Mr. Snyder, Billy Crandle chained himself to the snack machine, again.
Principal Snyder : Pathetic little no-life vegan.
-
Xander Harris : I'll have you know I was just accosted by some kind of, um... locker monster.
Rupert Giles : Loch Ness Monster?
Buffy Summers : *Locker* monster, is what he said.
-
Rupert Giles : Ooh! Sounds like paranormal phenomena.
Willow Rosenberg : A ghost? Cool!
Xander Harris : Oh, no, no. No. No cool. This was no wimpy chain-rattler. This was, "I'm dead as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore."
Rupert Giles : Well, despite the Xander-speak, that's a fairly accurate definition of a poltergeist.
Xander Harris : I defined something...? Accurately...? Guess I'm done with the book learning.
Buffy Summers : So we have some bad boo on our hands?
Rupert Giles : Yes.
Willow Rosenberg : Well, why is it here? Does it just wanna scare people?
Rupert Giles : Unfortunately, he doesn't know exactly what he wants. That's-That's the trouble. See, uh, many times the spirit is plagued by all manner worldly troubles. Being dead, it has no way to-to-to make its peace. So it-it-it lashes out, growing ever more confused, ever more angry.
Buffy Summers : So it's a normal teenager... Only dead.
Willow Rosenberg : Well, what can we do? Is there any way to stop it?
Rupert Giles : Well, the only tried and true way is to work out what unresolved issues keep it here and-and-and-and, um... resolve them.
Buffy Summers : Fabulous! Now we're Dr. Laura for the deceased.
Rupert Giles : Only if we can find out who the spirit is... or was.
-
Xander Harris : He killed a person and killed himself. Those are pretty much two of the dumbest things you could do.
Willow Rosenberg : I know, but... Well, don't you feel kind of bad for them?
Buffy Summers : Sure I feel lousy. For her. He's a murderer and he should pay for it.
Willow Rosenberg : With his life?
Buffy Summers : No, he should be doing sixty years in a prison, breaking rocks and making special friends with Roscoe the weightlifter.
Xander Harris : Yikes! The quality of mercy is not Buffy.
-
[first lines]
Ben : Hey... I'm Ben. We had Algebra II together last year?
Buffy Summers : I'm sorry, I pretty much repress anything math-related.
-
Fighting Boy : Wh-What happened?
Buffy Summers : What happened? You just went OJ on your girlfriend.
-
[at the Bronze where Buffy just tuned down a date with Ben]
Willow Rosenberg : Hey. You're bailin'?
Buffy Summers : Yeah. I'm gonna stop by the library and see if Giles wants me to patrol, and then sack it.
Willow Rosenberg : You've been doing that a lot... patrolling and sacking. In fact, you've kind of been "All work and no play Buffy."
Buffy Summers : I play. I have big fun. I came here tonight, didn't I?
Willow Rosenberg : You came, you saw, you... rejected.
-
Buffy Summers : What do we know?
Xander Harris : Dog spit is cleaner than human.
