Giles: (examining vampire Willow) It’s extraordinary.
Willow: It’s horrible! That’s me as a vampire? I’m so evil and… skanky… and I think I’m kinda gay.
Buffy: Willow, just remember, a vampire’s personality has nothing to do with the person it was.
Angel: Well, actually… (Buffy shoots him a look) That’s a good point.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 16 — “Dopplegangland”
Buffy: Before I was the Slayer, I was… Well, I, I don’t wanna say shallow, but… Let’s say a certain person, who will remain nameless, we’ll just call her Spordelia, looked like a classical philosopher next to me. Angel, if I’m not the Slayer, what do I do? What do I have to offer? Why would you like me?
Angel: I saw you before you became the Slayer.
Buffy: What?
Angel: I watched you, and I saw you called. It was a bright afternoon out in front of your school. You walked down the steps… and… and I loved you.
Buffy: Why?
Angel: ‘Cause I could see your heart. You held it before you for everyone to see. And I worried that it would be bruised or torn. And more than anything in my life I wanted to keep it safe… to warm it with my own.
Buffy: That’s beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.
Angel: I was just thinking that, too.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 12 — “Helpless”
Buffy: My mom… said some things to me about being the Slayer. That it’s fruitless. No fruit for Buffy.
Angel: She’s wrong.
Buffy: Is she? Is Sunnydale any better than when I first came here? Okay, so I battle evil. But I don’t really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.
Angel: Dike. It’s another word for dam.
Buffy: Oh. Okay, that story makes a lot more sense now.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 11 — “Gingerbread”
Spike: The last time I looked in on you two, you were fighting to the death. Now you’re back making googly-eyes at each other like nothing happened. Makes me want to heave.
Buffy: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Spike: Oh, yeah. You’re just friends.
Angel: That’s right.
Spike: You’re not friends. You’ll never be friends. You’ll be in love till it kills you both. You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you’ll never be friends. Love isn’t brains, children, it’s blood… blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love’s bitch, but at least I’m man enough to admit it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 8 — “Lovers Walk”
Angel: Spike.
Joyce: Oh, my God. Get out of here!
Spike: Yeah. You’re not invited.
Joyce: He’s crazy. He’ll kill us.
Spike: Not while I breathe. Well, actually, I don’t breathe.
Angel: Joyce, listen to me.
Joyce: You get out of this house, or I will stake you myself.
Spike: You’re a very bad man.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 8 — “Lovers Walk”
Angelus: Now that’s everything, huh? No weapons… No friends… No hope. Take all that away… and what’s left?
Buffy: Me.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Season 2: Episode 22 – “Becoming (Part 2)”
Buffy: All right, talk. What’s the deal?
Spike: Simple. You let me and Dru skip town, I help you kill Angel.
Joyce: Angel? Your boyfriend?
Buffy: Forget about Drusilla. She doesn’t walk.
Spike: There’s no deal without Dru.
Buffy: She killed Kendra.
Spike: Dru bagged a Slayer?! She didn’t tell me! Hey, good for her!
(Buffy stares at him)
Spike: Though not from your perspective, I suppose.
Buffy: I can’t believe I invited you into my house.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Season 2: Episode 22 – “Becoming (Part 2)”
Buffy: What do you want?
Spike: I told you. I want to stop Angel. I want to save the world.
Buffy: Okay. You do remember that you’re a vampire, right?
Spike: We like to talk big, vampires do. ‘I’m going to destroy the world.’ That’s just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You’ve got… dog racing, Manchester United. And you’ve got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It’s all right here.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Season 2: Episode 22 – “Becoming (Part 2)”
Angelus: Dear Buffy. I’m still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.Spike: Why don’t you rip her lungs out? It might make an impression.
Angelus: Lacks… poetry.
Spike: It doesn’t have to. What rhymes with lungs?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 2: Episode 16 – “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”
Giles: It’s not over. I-I-I suppose you know that. He’ll come after you, particularly. His profile, uh, well, he… he’s likely to strike out at the things that made him the most human.
Buffy: You must be so disappointed in me.
Giles: No. No, no, I’m not.
Buffy: But this is all my fault.
Giles: No. I don’t believe it is. Do you want me to wag my finger at you and tell you that you acted rashly? You did. A-and I can. I know that you loved him. And… he… has proven more than once that he loved you. You couldn’t have known what would happen. The coming months a-are gonna, are gonna be hard… I, I suspect on all of us, but… if it’s guilt you’re looking for, Buffy, I’m, I’m not your man. All you will get from me is, is my support. And my respect.
