- Oz: I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.
- Oz: Yeah, it helps. It-it creates a comfort zone... Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh, I can't!
- Oz: Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.
- Xander Harris: Yep. Vampires are real. A lot of 'em live in Sunnydale. Willow will fill you in.
- Willow Rosenberg: I know it's hard to accept at first.
- Oz: Actually, it explains a *lot*.
- Angel: Still, not every dream you have comes true. I mean, what else did you dream last night? Can you remember?
- Buffy Summers: I dreamt... I dreamt that Giles and I opened an office-supply warehouse in Vegas.
- Angel: See my point?
- Buffy Summers: [to Willow] You think he's too old 'cause he's a senior? Please! My boyfriend had a bicentennial.
- Willow Rosenberg: Oh, it's just it's Buffy's birthday, and we're throwing her a surprise party.
- Oz: It's okay.
- Willow Rosenberg: But you could come. If you wanted.
- Oz: Well, I don't wanna crash.
- Willow Rosenberg: No, it's fine. Well, you could be m... my date.
- Oz: Alright. I'm in.
- Willow Rosenberg: [to herself as she is walking away] I said "date".
- Rupert Giles: A true creature of evil can survive the process. No human ever has.
- Xander Harris: What's the problem? We send Cordy to fight this guy and we go for pizza.
- Xander Harris: This... thing with us, despite our better judgement, it keeps happening. Maybe we should just admit that we're dating.
- Cordelia Chase: Groping in a broom closet isn't dating. You don't call it a date until the guy spends money.
- Xander Harris: Fine. I'll spend, then we'll grope. Whatever.
- Angel: You still haven't told me what you wanted for your birthday.
- Buffy Summers: Surprise me.
- Angel: Okay. I will.
- [kisses Buffy]
- Buffy Summers: This is nice. I like seeing you first thing in the morning.
- Angel: It's bedtime for me.
- Buffy Summers: Well, then I like seeing you at bedtime. Um... Um, heh... Y-you know what I mean.
- Angel: I think so. What do you mean?
- Buffy Summers: I like seeing you. The part at the end of the night where we say goodbye?... It's getting harder.
- Angel: Yeah... It is.
- Spike: You might give him a chance to find your lost treasure. He is a wanker, but he's the only one we've got with half a brain. If he fails, you can eat his eyes out of the sockets for all I care.
- [first lines]
- [in Buffy's dream, Willow speaks to a monkey]
- Willow Rosenberg: [in French] The hippo stole your pants.
- Willow Rosenberg: "I like you at bedtime"? You actually said that?
- Buffy Summers: I know. I know.
- Willow Rosenberg: Man, that's like, I-I dunno. That's moxie or something.
- Rupert Giles: If Drusilla is alive, then i-i-it could be a fairly cataclysmic state of affairs.
- Xander Harris: Again, so many words. Couldn't you just say, "we'd be in trouble"?
- Rupert Giles: Go to class, Xander.
- Xander Harris: Gone... Notice the economy of phrasing. "Gone." It's simple. Direct.
- [Angel gives Buffy a ring]
- Angel: My people... Before I was changed, they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship, the crown represents loyalty... And the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody... Like this.
- Rupert Giles: Here comes Buffy. Now remember, discretion is the better part of valor.
- Xander Harris: You could have just said, "Shh." God. Are all you Brits such drama queens?
- Xander Harris: So... Buffy's party. Manyana.
- Cordelia Chase: Well, just because she's Miss Save The World and everything, you have to make a big deal? I have to *cook* and everything!
- Xander Harris: You're cooking?
- Cordelia Chase: Well, I'm chips 'n' dips girl.
- Xander Harris: [sarcastic] Ah, horrors! All that opening and stirring.
- Cordelia Chase: And shopping and carrying!
- Xander Harris: Well, you should have had a person who does such things for you.
- Cordelia Chase: Well, that's what I've been saying to my father, but does he listen?
- Xander Harris: Uh, so, uh... You're going, and - and - and I'm going. Should... we maybe... go?
- Cordelia Chase: Why?
- Xander Harris: I don't know. This... thing with us. Despite our better judgement, it keeps happening. Maybe we should just admit that we're dating.
- Cordelia Chase: Groping in a broom closet isn't dating. You don't call it a date until the guy spends money.
- Xander Harris: Fine. I'll spend. And then we'll grope, whatever. I just think that it's some kind of whack that we feel we have to hide from all of our friends.
- Cordelia Chase: Well, of course you wanna tell everybody, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I, on the other hand, have everything to be ashamed of.
- Xander Harris: You know what? How sad. Forget it. Must have been my multiple personality guy talking. I call him Idiot Xan. A glutton for punishment.
- [sighs, walks away]
- Angel: She's just crazy enough to do it.
- Willow Rosenberg: Do what? Reassemble the Judge?
- Angel: Bring forth Armageddon.
