Angelus: Now that’s everything, huh? No weapons… No friends… No hope. Take all that away… and what’s left?
Buffy: Me.

Xander: Giles!
Giles: Xander?
Xander: Can you walk?
Giles: You’re not real.
Xander: Sure, I’m real.
Giles: It’s a trick. They get inside my head, make me see things I want.
Xander: Then why would they make you see me?
Giles: …………You’re right. Let’s go.

Snyder: You do know is a crime scene, don’t you? But then… you’re a criminal, so that pretty much works out.
Buffy: You know I didn’t do it. The police will figure it out.
Snyder: In case you haven’t noticed, the police of Sunnydale are *deeply* stupid. It doesn’t matter anyway. Whatever they find, you’ve proved too much of a liability for this school. These are the moments you want to savor. You wish time would stop so that you could live them over and over again. You’re expelled.
Buffy: You never ever got a single date in high school, did you?

Buffy: I told you. I’m a Vampire Slayer.
Joyce: Well, I just don’t accept that!
Buffy: Open your eyes, Mom. What do you think has been going on for the past two years? The fights, the weird occurrences. How many times have you washed blood out of my clothing, and you still haven’t figured it out?
Joyce: Well, it stops now!
Buffy: No, it doesn’t stop! It *never* stops! Do-do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would *love* to be upstairs watching TV or gossiping about boys or… God, even studying! But I have to save the world… again.

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.

Joyce: Have we met?
Spike: Um… you hit me with an ax one time. Remember? Uh, ‘get the hell away from my daughter.’
Joyce: Oh………………. So, do you, uh, live here in town?

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.
