- Willow Rosenberg: Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever seen a thumb and gone "Wow! That baby is sore"?
- Xander Harris: You have too many thoughts.
- [last lines]
- Buffy Summers: Does it ever get easy?
- [kills a newly risen vampire]
- Rupert Giles: You mean life?
- Buffy Summers: Yeah. Does it get easy?
- Rupert Giles: What do you want me to say?
- Buffy Summers: Lie to me.
- Rupert Giles: Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats. And, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies and... everybody lives happily ever after.
- Buffy Summers: Liar.
- Angel: These people don't know anything about vampires. What they are, how they live, how they dress...
- [a guy cuts through them dressed exactly like Angel]
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: I wanna be like you... A vampire.
- Spike: I've known you for two minutes and I can't stand you. I don't really feature you living forever.
- [to Dru]
- Spike: Can I eat him now, love?
- Buffy Summers: Be simpler if I could just hate him... I think he wanted me to. I think it made it easier for him to be the villain of the piece. Really he was just scared.
- Rupert Giles: Yes, I suppose he was.
- Buffy Summers: Nothing's ever simple anymore. I'm constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate, who to trust. It's just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get.
- Rupert Giles: I believe that's called growing up.
- Buffy Summers: I'd like to stop then, okay?
- Willow Rosenberg: Uh, Angel, if I say something you really don't wanna hear, do you promise not to bite me?
- Angel: Are you gonna tell me that I'm jealous?
- Willow Rosenberg: Well, you do sometimes get that way.
- Angel: You know, I never used to. Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years... just hanging out, feelin' guilty... I really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along... Yeah, I get jealous. But I know people, and my gut tells me this is a wrong guy.
- Willow Rosenberg: [in nightclub, turns around and finds Angel gone] See? You made him do that thing where he's gone!
- Willow Rosenberg: Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever seen a thumb and gone "Wow! That baby is sore"?
- Xander Harris: You have too many thoughts.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: I'm sorry, Summers. Did I screw up your righteous-anger riff? Does the nest of tumors liquefying my brain kinda spoil the fun?
- Buffy Summers: I'm sorry... I had no idea. But what you're doing is still very wrong.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: Okay, well, you try vomiting for twenty-four hours straight because the pain in your head is so intense, and then... we'll discuss the concept of right and wrong... These people are sheep. They wanna be vampires 'cause they're lonely... miserable or bored. I don't have a choice.
- Buffy Summers: You have a choice. You don't have a good choice, but you have a choice. You're opting for mass murder here, and nothing you say is gonna make that okay.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: You think I need to justify myself to you?
- Buffy Summers: I think this is all part of your little fantasy drama! Isn't this exactly how you imagined it? You tell me how you've suffered and I feel sorry for you. Well, I do feel sorry for you. And if those vampires come in here and start feeding, I'll kill you myself!
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: You know what, Summers? I really did miss you.
- Cordelia Chase: [in class] I just don't see why everyone's always picking on Marie Antoinette. I can so relate to her. She worked really hard to look that good and people just don't appreciate that kind of effort. And I know the peasants were all depressed.
- Xander Harris: I think you mean *oppressed*.
- Cordelia Chase: Whatever. They were cranky. So they're like, "Let's lose some heads!" Uh. That's fair! And Marie Antoinette cared about them. She was gonna let them have cake.
- Willow Rosenberg: So you two were sweeties in fifth grade?
- Buffy Summers: Not even! Ford wouldn't give me the time of day.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: Well, I was a manly sixth-grader. Couldn't be bothered with someone that young.
- Buffy Summers: It was terrible. I moped over you for months. Sitting in my room listening to that Divnyls song "I Touch Myself"...
- Buffy Summers: [realizes what she said, turns sheepishly to Willow and Xander] Of course, I had no idea what it was about.
- Angel: I did a lot of unconscionable things when I became a vampire... Drusilla was the worst... She was... an obsession of mine. She was pure, and sweet, and chaste.
- Buffy Summers: And you made her a vampire.
- Angel: First I made her insane... I killed everybody she loved... Visited every mental torture on her I could devise... She eventually fled to a convent... And on the day she took her Holy Orders... I turned her into a demon.
- Angel: Do you love me?
- Buffy Summers: What?
- Angel: Do you?
- Buffy Summers: I love you... I don't know if I trust you.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: You can't touch me, Summers. I know all your darkest secrets.
- Xander Harris: Care to make a small wager on that?
- Willow Rosenberg: The only thing I could track down was this address. The Sunset Club. Still didn't find anything incriminating.
- Angel: He leaves no paper trail, no records. That's incriminating enough.
- Xander Harris: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Dead Boy on this one.
- Angel: Could you not call me that?
- Buffy Summers: Well, I've got a news flash for you, brain trust. That's not how it works. You die and a demon sets up shop in your old house. And it walks and it talks and it remembers your life, but it's not you.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: It's better than nothing.
- Buffy Summers: And your life is nothing? Ford, these people don't deserve to die!
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: Well, neither do I! But apparently no one took that into consideration, 'cause I'm still dying.
- [first lines]
- James: [to himself] Come on, Mom! She's always late.
- Drusilla: Are you lost?
- James: No. My mom's just supposed to pick me up , is all.
- Drusilla: Do you want me to walk you home?
- James: No, thank you.
- Drusilla: My mummy used to sing me to sleep at night. Run and catch the lamb is caught in the blackberry patch. She had the sweetest voice... What will you mummy sing when they find your body?
- James: I'm not supposed to talk to people.
- Drusilla: Oh. Well, I'm not a person, see? So that's just...
- Angel: [to boy] Run home.
- [when told that vampires are known as the Lonely Ones]
- Xander Harris: Oh, we usually call them the nasty, pointy, bitey ones.
- Buffy Summers: What I see is that, right after the sun goes down, Spike and all of his friends are gonna be pigging out at the All-You-Can-Eat Moron Bar.
- Diego: Okay, that's it. I think we should gag her.
- Buffy Summers: I think you should try.
- Diego: She's an unbeliever. She taints us.
- Buffy Summers: I am trying to save you! You are playing in some serious traffic here! Do you understand that? You're going to die!
- [Buffy is threatening to kill Drusilla]
- Buffy Summers: Now, you let everybody out or your girlfriend fits in an ashtray.
- Buffy Summers: People, listen to me! This is not the mother ship, people. This is ugly dead come to play.
- [walks up behind Buffy, who has just slain a vampire]
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: What's going on?
- Buffy Summers: Um... Uh, there was a-a cat... A cat here. And, um, then there was a-another cat. And they fought. The cats. And... then they left.
- Billy 'Ford' Fordham: Oh. I thought you were just slaying a vampire.
- Buffy Summers: What? Whating a what?
- Angel: Some lies are necessary...
- Buffy Summers: For what?
- Angel: Sometimes the truth is worse. You live long enough, you find that out.
- James: [little boy waiting by jungle gym, alone in park] Oh, Mom! She's always late.
- Drusilla: Are you lost?
- James: No. My Mom's just supposed to pick me up, is all.
- Drusilla: Do you want me to walk you home?
- James: No, thank you.
- Drusilla: My Mummy used to sing me to sleep at night. "Run and *catch!* The lamb is caught in the blackberry patch..." She had the sweetest voice. What will your Mummy sing when they find your body?
- James: I'm *not* supposed to talk to people.
- Drusilla: Oh. Well, I'm not a person, see, so that...
- Angel: [appears in the nick of time] Run home!
- [as the boy runs off, turns to face Drusilla]
- Drusilla: My Angel!
- Angel: Hello, Drusilla.
- Drusilla: Do you remember the song Mummy used to sing me?
