Gotta toss out one of my favorite quotes of the series from one of THE best supporting characters, Armin Shimerman as Principal Sneider.

"It's that kind of woolly-headed liberal thinking that leads to getting eaten."

Probably my favourite Snyder line:

"I don't get it. What is it? Avant-garde?"
The Puppet Show

Angel: Buffy, careful with this gift. Lots of things that seem strong and good and powerful, they can be painful.
Buffy: Like, say, immortality?
Angel: Exactly. I'm dying to get rid of that.
Buffy: Funny.
Angel: I'm a funny guy.

Cordelia: Hello, can we deal with my pain, please?
[pats her on the back, not interested]
Giles: There, there.

Giles: I suppose there is a sort of Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression.
Xander: I resent that... or, possibly, thank you.

Buffy: Giles, are you sure about this?
Giles: Why wouldn't I be?
Buffy: Well, aside from the fact that most magic shop owners in Sunnydale have the life expectancy of a Spinal Tap drummer, have you ever run a store before?

Buffy: Why are you standing in my room hugging Mr. Gordo?
Angel: Mr. Gordo?
Buffy: The pig.

Willow: Oh yeah, a research party.
Xander: Will, you need a life in the worst way.

Oz: Want some animal crackers?
Willow: No thanks.
Oz: You know the monkey is the only cookie animal that gets clothes... .I wonder if the hippo is like, 'Hey, were are my clothes?' and the monkey is like, 'I mock you with my monkey pants.'... All monkeys are French, you didn't know that?

Giles: It's a trick. They get inside my head and make me see things I want.
Xander: Then why would they make you see me?
Giles: Oh, right. Let's go.

Buffy: Hi, Oz!
Oz: Hi.
Buffy: I seem to be having a slight case of nudity here.
Oz: But you're not a rat. So call it an upside.

Giles: Clearly we're looking for a depraved, sadistic animal.
Oz: Present. Hey, I may be a cold blooded jelly doughnut, but my timing's impeccable.

Xander: Angel?
Anya: So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?
Xander: He's evil again.
Angel: I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Spike: I'm saying that Spike had a little trip to the vet, and now he doesn't chase the other puppies anymore.

Spike: Don't be a stupid git. There is no...
Giles: Spike if I want your opinion I'll... I'll never want your opinion.

Harmony: Do you know what it means that he can't hurt any living thing? He can't pick flowers.

Buffy: Spike loves me.
[Xander starts laughing]
Buffy: I'm not joking.
Xander: Oh, I hope not. It's funnier if it's true.

Joyce: Honey, did you lead him on in any way?
Buffy: Uh... I do beat him up a lot. For Spike, that's like third base.

Xander: You mean I'm the key guy? I'm the key guy. Ahh... pride... joy...
Buffy: I think Angel should go with you.
Xander: Wait a minute. I'm still the key guy though right?
Buffy: Yes Xander.
Xander: Very well. Angel may accompany me in a non-key-guy capacity.
Angel: What fun.
Xander: Excuse me. Key guy still talking here.

Willow: Is this the master plan? You're gonna stop me by telling me you love me?
Xander: Well, I was gonna walk you off a cliff and hand you an anvil, but it seemed kind of cartoony.

Buffy: Doesn't matter how well prepped you are or how well armed you are, you're a little girl.
Dawn: Woman.
Buffy: Little woman.
Dawn: I'm taller than you.

Giles: That's the flora kua alaya. A native of Paraguay, if my botany serves.
Willow: Is there anything you don't know everything about?
Giles: Synchronized swimming. Complete mystery to me.

Dead Nerd: I think I'd like Dawn to be my girlfriend.
Buffy: Wrong sister. I'm the one that dates dead guys.

Spike: I'll bloody kill you.
Buffy: What are you going to do, lick me to death?

Spike: Well, then everything is all right and we all get to be not staked through the heart. Good work team.

Spike: Passions is on and Timmy's down the bloody well, and if you make me miss it I'll...
Giles: You'll what? Lick me to death?

Cordelia: Hi, Mr. Beech. I was just wondering, were you planning on killing a bunch of people tomorrow? Oh, it's for the yearbook

Watching TV]
Spike: Pacey, you blind idiot, can't you see she doesn't love you?

Willow: So you feeling better about Angel?
Buffy: Well we talked, then, then he ripped out the heart of a demon and fed it to me and then we talked some more.

Buffy: Besides, I can just tell something is wrong. My spider sense is tingling.
Giles: Your spider sense?
Buffy: Pop culture reference. Sorry.

Buffy: I wasn't going to use violence. I don't always use violence. Do I?
Xander: The important thing is *you* believe that.

Giles: Is everyone here okay?
Cordelia: Super. I kicked a guy.
Xander: Dead guy here interrupted our tutorial.
[to dead guy]
Xander: Been meaning to thank you for that.

Principal Snyder: You will sell it to raise money for the marching band. They need new uniforms.
Xander: Yeah. Those tall, fuzzy hats ain't cheap, huh?
Oz: But they go with everything.

Xander: Whoa, Giles has a TV. Everybody, Giles has a TV. He's shallow like us.
Oz: I got to admit, I'm a little disappointed.
Giles: I, ah, uh, uh.
Willow: Well maybe it doesn't work. Like a piece of art.

Xander: Also, sometimes I'll say something about Anya and Willow will get this look, this what-the-Hell-do-you-see-in-her look.
Spike: I know that look. A lot of people never really got Dru, you know.
Xander: She was insane.

Buffy: Any apocalypse I avert without dying? Yeah, those are the easy ones.

Giles: Let me get this straight: you think I'm evil if I take a group of teenage girls on a camping trip and I *don't* touch them?

Oz: I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting.
Willow: Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.
Oz: Yeah, it helps. It-it creates a comfort zone. Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?
Willow: Oh. I can't.
Oz: Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.

[about Matthew Broderick]
Andrew: I miss Ferris-Matthew. I find Broadway-Matthew cold.

Angel: I started the soul-having, before it was the cool thing.
Buffy: My god, what are you, twelve?

Willow: It's really nice that you guys missed me. Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did you?
Xander: Will, we saw you at The Bronze. A vampire.
Willow: I'm not a vampire.
Buffy: You are. I mean, you were. Giles, planning on jumping in with an explanation any time soon?
Giles: Well, uh... something very strange is happening.
Xander: Can you believe the Watcher's Council let this guy go?

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.

Tara: People do strange things when someone they love dies. When I lost my mother, I did some pretty dumb stuff, like lying to my family and staying out all night.
Anya: Buffy's boinking Spike.
Willow: Oh... well, Tara's right, grief can be powerful and we shouldn't judge...
Tara: Are you kidding? She's nuts.

Buffy: Do we really need weapons for this?
Spike: I just like them. They make me feel all manly.

Angel: See? Whenever we fight you always bring up the vampire thing.

Xander: I can't wait to see Cordelia. I can't believe I can't wait to see Cordelia.
Willow: I wonder what our first homework assignment's gonna be. Hey, you're excited over Cordelia, okay? We've all got issues.

Angel: Um, am I gonna see you this weekend? You, uh, you-you probably have plans.
Buffy: Right, birthday. Um, actually, I, I do have a thing.
Angel: Oh, a thing. A date?
Buffy: Nice attempt at casual. Actually, I do have a date. Older man. Very handsome. He likes it when I call him 'Daddy'.
Angel: Huh, your father. It is your father, right?

Xander: Do we hug?
Oz: I think we're too manly.

[Joyce and Dawn are staying with Spike]
Spike: Just don't break anything. And don't make a lotta noise. Passions is coming on.
Joyce: Passions? Oh, do you think Timmy's really dead?
Spike: Oh, no, no. She can just sew him back together. He's a doll, for God's sake.
Joyce: Ah, what about the wedding? I mean, there's no way they're gonna go through with that.

[startling Giles by walking in on him singing]
Spike: You know, for someone who's got "Watcher" on his résumé, you might want to cast an eye to the front door every now and again.

Buffy Bot: Anya. How is your money?
Anya: Fine, thank you for asking.

in the midst of conversation with Willow]
Buffy Bot: You're recently gay.

Gwendolyn Post: The fact is, there is talk in the Council that you have become a bit too... American.
Giles: Me?
Buffy: Him?

Anya: [to a customer who just finished her purchase] Please go.
Xander: Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that "Please go" just got replaced with "Have a nice day."
Anya: But I have their money. Who cares what kind of day they have?
Xander: No one. It's just a long cultural tradition of raging insincerity. Embrace

Xander: [singing] It could be witches, some evil witches...
[Willow and Tara glare at him]
Xander: [still singing] ... which is ridiculous 'cause witches, they were persecuted Wicca good, and love the earth, and women power, and I'll be over here.

Xander: So. You bought the magic shop and you were attacked before it even opened. Is anyone up for a resounding chorus of the "I told you so" Symphony?

Jenny Calendar: Right, guys, the first thing we're gonna do is... Buffy.
Xander: Huh? Did I fall asleep already?

One day the campus is completely bare and empty. The next, there are children everywhere. Like locusts. Crawling around, mindlessly bent on feeding and mating. Destroying everything in sight in their relentless, pointless desire to exist.

Does any other show have such clear examples of when lines of dialogue PERFECTLY define a character and are PERFECTLY delivered by the actor?

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:25am

Ooh, I forgot about the Graduation dream indicating season 5. That was just...foreshadowing the end of 2 seasons away. Damn.

When it initially aired, I didn't love the season 4 "true finale" until season 7...it was sad when I found myself missing season 4. But combining them all was cute. I loved how Xander was the heart.

More random funny moments: Harmony as Buffy's arch nemesis.

Hushed--Giles' slide show presentation...Xander not knowing what slay meant, Buffy upset about being fat, Willow's impersonation of a scream...

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:25am

that's not helping me not buy the entire series, wrq!

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:27am

:-P

I have the first 2 1/2 seasons on VHS. It's enough for me.

(Season 3 did end up being good, but for me the show has to end with a Buffy Christmas...Buffy and Angel live happily ever after, the end. Better than either "finale" methinks)

Joyce: "But... you can't keep her out of school. You don't have the right!"
Snyder: "I have not only the right, but also a nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the thought of keeping her out of school. I'd describe myself as tingly."
Dead Man's Party

Oh, your Harmony comment reminded me of the cat-fight between her and Xander... SO FUNNY!

Such great quotes.

"Hush" is in my Top 3 Favorite episode. My boyfriend and I went into NYC to the Museum of Radio and Television, where you can watch any television show you want. From like forever back. They have almost everything.

I watched "Hush." That I had just watched a few nights earlier.

We should post a quote and then the next person has to guess what character said it and then post another. And so on.

[RobbO]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:30am

wrq, that sounds like phoebe's mom on friends who would turn off "old yeller" and other movies before anything 'bad' would happen...

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:31am

I love the fact that Giles uses "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saëns as background music during his presentation!
One of my favourite pieces of classical music!

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:35am

Guess who:

"Yeah. You learn her source, (grins) and, uh, we'll introduce her to her insect reflection. (Pause) Um ... that, that was funny if you, um, studied Taglarin mythic rites... (softly) and are a complete dork."

"My boyfriend and I went into NYC to the Museum of Radio and Television, where you can watch any television show you want. From like forever back. They have almost everything."

Ooh Menzelmanic, you missed a golden oppertunity. I'm a member there and they have a lot of panels with the cast and crew of popular TV shows. They show an episode, ask questions, and then the audience asks questions. They had one for Buffy during the 2nd season. The cast was all there, along with Joss and Marni and a couple other people. It was so great to watch. There was some kind of question about Buffy kissing Angel, or Sarah kissing David, and Nicholas was sitting next to David and he said something like I love kissing Angel, and then David leans over and the two of them start making out.

I gotta watch that again...


Robbo, that method works all the time. I did the same thing with the 2001 World Series. Unbenknowst to most, it was a 5-game series. The Yankees came from behind, down 2-0, on the verge of elimination to take the series in extra innings in game 5. What a great series.

Willow.

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:51am

Nope, I think it's Tara...

[RobbO]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:51am

wrq, i prefer that ending to the 2001 world series myself.

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:55am

It is Tara.

And I LOVE the Museum of Television and Radio. HAVE to get back there soon. I've never been to one of the panels there. But I love watching obscure things in the library.

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:57am

Well, the point is when you're watching stuff, you can watch the panels. That one took place in LA; no way I could have ever seen it otherwise.

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 11:59am

He that panel shown up in any of the Buffy special features on DVD? (There are so many featurettes and things, I can't remember what is on them all)

I know the Strangers With Candy DVDs included one of those panels. Either way, I'm excited to look Buffy up next time I'm at the Museum.

Nicky Brendan...making out with David Boreanaz...
Sorry. I think I lost my train of thought there.

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:03pm

Seriously. Especially Season 2 era Nick Brendan?

I watch Psycho Beach Party for a number of reasons...and that sort of visual stimulation is indeed one of them...

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:03pm

Did they take off their shirts and everything?

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:05pm

Umm, no. It's a G-rated panel.

No, it's not on the DVD. They had a similar thing on season 6, but not this one.

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:08pm

"Did they take off their shirts and everything?"

David Boreanaz is constantly shirtless, though, so no loss there.

And for Nick, see Go Fish (Yay, swim team) and his scenes on the beach with Chicklet (Lauren Ambrose) in Psycho Beach Party

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:08pm

Oh man. Season one and two Xander...there's a reason he's my favorite character.
And Angel during those seasons (before the bloat set in)...
lord.

[wyou17]

Posted: 8/15/06 at 12:10pm

They both got...wide...er

But the show was still interesting. And it was nice to transition from pretty young people to interesting adults.

Of course, the aging makes less sense for Angel...but I'll forgive that.
