Quotes 

• [Xander has reenacted Buffy's slaying with fish sticks] 

  Buffy Summers : That's exactly how it happened.

  Oz : Well, I thought it was riveting. I was a little unclear about some of the themes.

  Buffy Summers : The theme is, Angel's too much of a coward to take me on face-to-face.

  Xander Harris : And the other theme was "Buy American" but it, uh, got kind of buried.

• Xander Harris : Hi! For those of you who've just tuned in, everyone here is a crazy person.

• Cordelia Chase : [to Willow]  I think it's great to do that before you go out and fail in the real world. That way you're not falling back on something. You're falling... well, forward.

  Xander Harris : And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

  Cordelia Chase : Gee, Xander, what are you gonna teach when you fail in life? Advanced loser-being?

• Xander Harris : [in cemetery, helped to get up, groggy after fight]  Oh. Oh. I'm good. Don't worry about me.

  Buffy Summers : You know you don't have to patrol with me. I had that guy under control until he resorted to fisticuffs. Oh, what is that? Uhm... five vampires in three nights?

  Buffy Summers : Yup. But no Angel.

  Xander Harris : And you are really that anxious to come up against him?
