Cordelia: So she comes running at me, screaming: "I'm gonna kill you!" I swear! She had this stick and attacked me with it!
Boy: Who?
Harmony: Buffy!
-
Giles: For as long as there have been vampires, there's been the Slayer. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One.
Buffy: (to Willow and Xander) He loves doing this part.
-
Xander: Jesse, man. I'm sorry.
Jesse: Sorry? I feel good, Xander! I feel strong! I'm connected, man, to everything! I can hear the worms in the earth!
Xander: That's a plus.
-
Luke: (to Jesse) I thought you nothing more than a meal, boy. Congratulations, you've just been upgraded. To bait.
-
Willow: Buffy, I'm not anxious to go into a dark place full of monsters. But I do want to help. I need to.
Giles: Well, then help me. I've been researching this Harvest affair. It seems to be some sort of preordained massacre. Rivers of blood, Hell on Earth, quite charmless. I'm a bit fuzzy, however, on the details. It may be that you can wrest some information from that dread machine. (Everyone stares at him) That was a bit, um, British, wasn't it?
Buffy: (smiles) Welcome to the New World.
-
Xander: Okay, so, crosses, garlic, stake through the heart.
Buffy: That'll get it done.
Xander: Cool! Of course, I don't actually have any of those things.
Buffy: Good thinking.
Xander: Well, the part of my brain that would tell me to bring that stuff is still busy telling me not to come down here.
-
Xander: You've done some beheading in your time?
Buffy: Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife... (Xander laughs nervously) You're not loving this story.
Xander: No, actually, I find it oddly comforting.
-
Harmony: Are we going to the Bronze tonight?
Cordelia: No, we're going to the other cool place in Sunnydale. (Harmony looks confused) Of course we're going to the Bronze. Friday night? No cover?
-
Xander: We can't fight our way back through those things. What do we do?
Jesse: I got an idea. (vamps out) You can die!
-
Master: Ah, Colin... You failed me. Tell me you're sorry.
Colin: I'm sorry!
Master: There. That wasn't so bad, was it? Hold on... (putting out Colin's eye) You've got something in your eye.
-
Buffy: This is really, really important.
Joyce: I know. If you don't go out it'll be the end of the world. Everything is life or death when you're a sixteen-year-old girl.
-
Cordelia: I just am not the type to settle, you know? It's like when I go shopping. I have to have the most expensive thing. Not because it's expensive, but because it costs more.
-
Angel: I knew you'd figure out this entryway sooner or later. Actually, I thought it was gonna be a little sooner.
Buffy: Sorry you had to wait. Okay, look; if you're gonna be popping up with this cryptic wise man act on a regular basis can you at least tell me your name?
Angel: Angel.
Buffy: Angel. It's a pretty name.
-
Buffy: What exactly were you expecting?
Xander: I don't know, something. I mean, the dead rose. We should have at least had an assembly.
-
Buffy: Ok vessel boy. You want blood?
Luke: I want yours, only yours.
Buffy: Works for me.
-
Xander: We gotta get in there before Jesse does something stupider than usual.
Giles: You listen to me, Jesse is dead. You have to remember that when you see him, your not looking at your friend, you're looking at the thing that killed him.
-
Xander: This is just too much. I mean, yesterday my life's like, "Uh-
oh, pop quiz." Today it's "Rain of Toads."
-
Luke: You forget, metal can't hurt me.
Buffy: There's something you forgot about, too. (she throws a music stand through a window behind Luke and bright light pours in) Sunrise!
Luke: Aaaaaarrrrg... (he sees that the light is just a streetlight) Huh?
Buffy: (driving a stake into Luke's back) It's in about nine hours, moron.
-
Luke: (onstage at the Bronze) Ladies and gentlemen… there is no cause for alarm. Actually, there is cause for alarm. It just won't do any good.
-
Buffy: So, Giles, got anything that can make this day any worse?
Giles: How about the end of the world?
Buffy: I knew I can count on you.
-
Cordelia: (to Willow) Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist? Do I horn in on your private discussions? No. Why? Because you're boring.
-
Angel: They'll be expecting you.
Buffy: I've got a friend down there. Or at least a potential friend. Do you know what it's like to have a friend? That wasn't supposed to be a stumper.
-
Willow: And everyone else thinks it's just a normal day.
Xander: Nobody knows. It's like we've got this big secret.
Willow: We do. That's what a secret is, when you know something the other guys don't.
-
Willow: I'll put it on the computer search. If it's in there, it'll turn up. Anything that'll lead us to vampires.
Xander: And I, in the meantime, will help by standing around like an idiot.
Willow: Not like an idiot, just… standing.
-
Buffy: The access to the tunnels is in the mausoleum. The girl must have doubled back with Jesse after I got out. God, I am so mentally challenged.
-
Giles: So all the city plans are just open to the public?
Willow: Uh, well, in a way. I sort of stumbled onto them when I accidentally decrypted the City Council's security system.
Xander: Someone's been naughty.
-
Willow: Uh, this may be the dumb question, but shouldn't we call the police?
Giles: And they'd believe us, of course.
Willow: Well, we don't have to say vampires. We could just say that there's a bad man.
Buffy: They couldn't handle it even if they did show up. They'd only come with guns.
-
Buffy: Jesse is my responsibility. I let him get taken.
Xander: That's not true.
Willow (to Buffy): If you hadn't shown up, they would've taken us, too. Does anybody mind if I pass out?
Buffy: Breathe.
Willow: Breathe.
Buffy: Breathe.
-
The Master: I'm your faithful dog. You bring me scraps.
-
Xander: Okay, this is where I have a problem. See, because we're talking about vampires. We're having a talk with vampires in it.
Willow: Isn't that what we saw last night?
Buffy: No. No, those weren't vampires. Those were just guys in thundering need of a facial. Or maybe they had rabies. It could have been rabies. And that guy turning to dust? Just a trick of light. That's exactly what I said the first time I saw a vampire. Well, after I was done with the screaming part.
-
(In the computer room)
Harmony: Ok, I think the program's done.
Cordelia: Finally the nightmare ends! Ok, so how do we save it?
Willow: Deliver.
Cordelia: Deliver? Where is that? Oh!
(she pushes "DEL" and the program is deleted)
-
Cordelia: Guys from our grade, forget about it, they're children. Y'know? Like Jesse. Did you see him last night, following me around like a little puppy dog? You just wanna put him to sleep. But senior boys, they have mystery. They have...what's the word I'm searching for? Cars!
-
Giles: You have no idea where they took Jesse?
Buffy: I looked around, but as soon as they got clear of the graveyard, they could have, voom!
Xander: They can fly?
Buffy: They can drive.
-
Giles: The Slayer hunts vampires, Buffy is a Slayer, don't tell anyone. Well, I think that's all the vampire information you need.
Xander: Except for one thing: how do you kill them?
Buffy: You don't, I do.
-
Angel: Don't... go down there.
Buffy: Deal with my going.
Angel: You shouldn't be putting yourself at risk. Tonight is the Harvest. Unless you can prevent it, The Master walks.
Buffy: Well, if this Harvest thing is such a suckfest why don't you stop it?
Angel: 'Cause I'm afraid.
-
Willow: Oh, I, I need to sit down.
Buffy: You are sitting down.
Willow: Oh. Good for me.
-
Xander: I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.
-
The Master: A Slayer! Have you any proof?
Luke: Only that she fought me, and yet lives.
The Master: Hmm, very nearly proof enough. I can't remember the last time that happened.
Luke: 1843. Madrid. He caught me sleeping.
-
The Master: I have waited. For three score years, I have waited. While you come and go, I am stuck here, here in this house of... worship! My ascension is almost at hand. Pray that when it comes... I'm in a better mood.
-
Buffy: I don't suppose you've got a key on you?
Angel: They really don't like me dropping in.
Buffy: Why not?
Angel: They really don't like me.
Buffy: How could that possibly be?
-
Giles: We're at the center of a mystical convergence here. We may, in fact, stand between the Earth and its total destruction.
Buffy: Well, I gotta look on the bright side. Maybe I can still get kicked out of school!
Xander: Oh, yeah, that's a plan. 'Cause lots of schools aren't on Hellmouths.
Willow: Maybe you could blow something up. They're really strict about that.
Buffy: I was thinking of a more subtle approach, y'know, like excessive not studying.
Giles: The Earth is doomed!
