Buffy Summers : Like a shark.
Xander Harris : Like a shark with feet and... much less fins.

[in Giles' dream]
Rupert Giles : [singing] It's strange / It's not like anything / We've faced before / It seems familiar / Somehow / Of course / The spell we cast with Buffy / Must have released / Some primal evil / That's come back seeking / I'm not sure what / Willow / Look through the Chronicles / For some reference / To a warrior beast / I've got to warn Buffy / There's every chance she might be next / And Xander / Help Willow / And try not to bleed / On my couch / I've just had it steam cleaned / No wait...

[in Xander's dream]
Rupert Giles : [to Spike on a swing] Come on. Put your back into it. A Watcher scoffs at gravity.

[in Giles' dream]
Spike : I've hired myself out as an attraction.
Rupert Giles : Sideshow freak?
Spike : Well, at least it's showbiz.

[in Willows dream]
Rupert Giles : All right everyone! Pay attention! In just a few moments, that curtain is gonna open on our very first production. Now everyone that Willow's ever met is out in that audience, including all of us. That means we have to be perfect. Stay in character, remember your lines and energy, energy, energy especially in the musical numbers!
[Willow sees a shadowy figure moving in the background]
Willow Rosenberg : Did anyone see that?
Rupert Giles : Acting is not about behaving, it's about hiding. The audience wants to find you, strip you naked and eat you alive, so hide.
[Harmony bites at his neck]
Rupert Giles : Stop that. Now, costumes, sets, um, the things that you, uh, you know, uh, you, um, you hold them, you touch them, uh, use them, um...
Harmony Kendall : Props?
Rupert Giles : No.
Riley Finn : Props?
Rupert Giles : Yes! It's all about subterfuge.
[Harmony continues attempting to bite him]
Rupert Giles : That's very annoying. Now, go on out there, lie like dogs, and have a wonderful time. Now, if we can stay in focus, keep our heads, and if Willow can stop stepping on everyone's cues, I know this will be the best production of "Death of a Salesman" we've ever done.
[Harmony continues attempting to bite him]
Rupert Giles : Stop it. Good luck everyone! Break a leg!

[in Xander's dream]
Soldier : [Apocalypse Now on TV] We gotta keep goin' men. We gotta take that hill... Damn this war.
Rupert Giles : I have to say, I really feel "Apocalypse Now" is overrated.
Xander Harris : No, no. It gets better.
Soldier : [on TV] Men.
Xander Harris : I remember that it gets better.
Soldier : [on TV] Oh, my God. What's happened to my men? *Aah*!
Buffy Summers : Want some corn?
Xander Harris : Butter flavor?
Buffy Summers : New car smell.
Xander Harris : Cool.

Buffy Summers : You know, you could have brought that up to us before we did it.
Rupert Giles : I did. I said there could be dire consequences.
Buffy Summers : Yes, but you say that about chewing too fast.

[first lines]
Buffy Summers : Are you sure you'll be all right? 'Cause I can be there in the morning.
Riley Finn : It's just a debriefing. They're not gonna make me disapper and they're not pinning anything on me. I got Graham and a lot of the guys testifying I'm the reason they're alive. I might actually get out of this with an honorable discharge.
Giles : In return for your silence no doubt.
Riley Finn : Oh yeah. Having the inside scoop on the administration's own Bay of Mutated Pigs is definitely an advantage.
Giles : It's like you're blackmailing the government.
[they look at her]
Giles : In a... patriotic way.
