Quotes15

  • Buffy Summers: So that's it, huh? I remember the drill. One slayer dies, next one's called. Wonder who she is... Will you train her... or will they send someone else?
  • Rupert Giles: Buffy, I...
  • Buffy Summers: They say how he's gonna kill me? Do you think it'll hurt?
  • [Angel walks towards her]
  • Buffy Summers: Don't touch me!... Were you even gonna tell me?
  • Rupert Giles: I was hoping that I wouldn't have to, that there was some way around it. I...
  • Buffy Summers: I've got a way around it. I quit.
  • Rupert Giles: It's not that simple.
  • Buffy Summers: I'm making it *that* simple. I quit. I resign. I-I'm fired! You can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over.
  • Rupert Giles: I'm not sure that anyone else can. All the signs indicate...
  • Buffy Summers: The signs? Read me the signs! Tell me my fortune! You're so useful sitting here with all of your books! You're really a lot of help!
  • Rupert Giles: No, I don't suppose I am.
  • Angel: I know this is hard.
  • Buffy Summers: What do you know about this? You're never gonna die!
  • Angel: You think I want anything to happen to you? Do you think I could stand it? We just gotta figure out a way.
  • Buffy Summers: I already did. I quit, remember? Pay attention!
  • Rupert Giles: Buffy, if the Master rises...
  • Buffy Summers: I don't care!... I don't care... Giles, I'm 16 years old. I-I don't wanna die.
  • The Master: You're dead.
  • Buffy Summers: I may be dead, but I'm still pretty. Which is more than I can say for you.
  • The Master: You were destined to die. It was written.
  • Buffy Summers: What can I say? I flunked the written.
  • Buffy Summers: [after he asks her out to the dance] Xander, you're one of my best friends. You and Willow.
  • Xander Harris: Well, Willow's not looking to date you. Or if she is, she's playing it pretty close to the chest.
  • [last lines]
  • Angel: By the way, I really like your dress.
  • Buffy Summers: Yeah, yeah. Big hit with everyone.
  • [after knocking Giles unconscious]
  • Buffy Summers: When he wakes up, tell him... I don't know. Think of something cool. Tell him I said it.
  • The Master: Did you really think you could best me here when you couldn't below?
  • Buffy Summers: [looks at him curiously] You have fruit punch mouth.
  • The Master: What?
  • [Buffy punches him]
  • Buffy Summers: And save the hypnosis crap for the tourists.
  • Buffy Summers: Oh, sorry. It's just... been a really weird day.
  • Xander Harris: Yeah. Buffy died and everything.
  • Willow Rosenberg: Wow. Harsh.
  • Rupert Giles: I should've known that wouldn't stop you.
  • The Master: Welcome.
  • Buffy Summers: Thanks for having me. You know, you really ought to talk to your contractor. Looks like you got some water damage.
  • The Master: Oh, good. The feeble banter portion of the fight.
  • Willow Rosenberg: I've seen so much. I thought I could take anything. But, Buffy, this... this was different.
  • Buffy Summers: You'll be alright.
  • Willow Rosenberg: I'm trying to think how to say it, to explain it so you understand.
  • Buffy Summers: It doesn't matter as long as you're okay.
  • Willow Rosenberg: I'm not okay. I knew those guys. I go to that room every day. And when I walked in there, it... it wasn't our world anymore. They made it theirs... and they had *fun*. What are we gonna do?
  • Buffy Summers: What we have to.
  • Rupert Giles: Buffy, I'm not gonna send you out there to die. Now, you were right. I-I've waded about in these old books for so long, I've forgotten what the real world is like. I-It's time I found out.
  • Buffy Summers: You're still not going up against the Master.
  • Rupert Giles: I've made up my mind.
  • Buffy Summers: So have I.
  • Rupert Giles: I made up my mine first! I'm older and wiser than you and just... just do what you're told for once, all right?
  • Buffy Summers: We saved the world. I say we party.
  • Buffy Summers: How you doing there, Giles? Get much sleep last night?
  • Rupert Giles: Um, I-I-I've been working.
  • Buffy Summers: Me, too. I went hunting last night, and it is awfully sweet of you to ask. It's getting hairy out there, Giles. I killed three vampires last night. One of them was practically on school grounds.
  • Rupert Giles: Their numbers are increasing.
  • Buffy Summers: And they're getting cockier. Look, I'm not loving it. Last night was a pretty close call.
  • Rupert Giles: Yes.
  • Buffy Summers: Giles, care. I'm putting my life on the line battling the undead. Look, I broke a nail, okay? I'm wearing a press-on. The least you could do is exhibit some casual interest. You could go, "hmm."
  • Rupert Giles: Hmm?
  • Buffy Summers: Fine. That's okay. I can't put it off any longer. I have to meet my terrible fate.
  • Rupert Giles: [spins around] What?
  • Buffy Summers: Biology.
  • Buffy Summers: Oh, look, a bad guy.
  • Buffy Summers: [after last night's earthquake] Morning. Well, the damage looks fairly structural. Are we safe in here?
  • Rupert Giles: Buffy!
  • Buffy Summers: What? Do I have something on my face?
  • Rupert Giles: No. And yes, we're - we're safe. But probably... best not to go out there.
  • Buffy Summers: How ya doin' there, Giles? Get much sleep last night?
  • Rupert Giles: Uh - uh, I've been working.
  • Buffy Summers: Me too. And I went hunting last night. It was awfully sweet of you to ask. It's getting hairy out there, Giles. I killed three vampires last night. One of them was practically on the school grounds.
  • Rupert Giles: Their numbers are increasing.
  • Buffy Summers: And they're getting cockier. Look, I'm not loving it. Last night was a pretty close call.
  • Rupert Giles: [preoccupied by the prophecy] Yes.
  • Buffy Summers: Giles, care! I'm putting my life on the line battling the undead. Look, I broke a nail, okay? I'm wearing a press-on. The least you could do is exhibit some casual interest. You could go 'hmm'.
  • [mimicking him the way he would do it]
  • Rupert Giles: Hmm.
  • [she raises her eyes]
  • Rupert Giles: Oh, sorry. I'm very glad that you're... all right. I need to verify... I just can't really talk right now.
  • Buffy Summers: Fine. That's okay. I can't put it off any longer. I have to meet my terrible fate.
  • Rupert Giles: [dismayed] What?
  • Buffy Summers: Biology.
  • [she's off to class, the bell rings, and Giles stares after her]
