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.

• Kendra : In case the curse does not succeed, this is my lucky stake. I have killed many vampires with it. I call it Mr. Pointy.

  Buffy Summers : You named your stake?

  Kendra : Yes.

  Buffy Summers : Remind me to get you a stuffed animal.

• Principal Snyder : [in the cafeteria]  These public displays of affection are not acceptable in my school. This isn't an orgy, people. It's a classroom.

  Buffy Summers : Yeah! Where they teach lunch.

• Angelus : Hello, lover. I wasn't sure you'd come.

  Buffy Summers : After your immolation-o-gram? Come on, I had to show. Shouldn't you be out destroying the world right now, pulling the sword out of Al Franken or whatever his name is?

  Angelus : There's time enough. I wanted to say goodbye first. You are the one thing in this dimension I will miss.

  Buffy Summers : This is a beautiful moment we're having. Can we please fight?

  Angelus : I didn't come here to fight.

  Buffy Summers : No?

  Angelus : Gosh. I-I was hoping we can get back together. What do you think? Do we have a shot? All right! We'll fight.

• Buffy Summers : Wah! This doesn't make any sense!

  Willow Rosenberg : Oh, sure it does. See...

  [reads the paper] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Oh, no, this doesn't make any sense.

  Buffy Summers : It's senseless!

  Willow Rosenberg : It is, but at least you know that, so you're learning.

• Buffy Summers : I want you to get a message to Angel for me. Tell him I'm done waiting. I'm taking the fight to him. You got that? Need me to write it down for ya?

• 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?
