Quotes
-
Buffy Summers : Who are you?
Angel : Let's just say, I'm a friend.
Buffy Summers : Yeah, well, maybe I don't want a friend.
Angel : I didn't say I was yours.
-
Buffy Summers : Now, we can do this the hard way or... Well, actually, there's just the hard way.
Darla : That's fine with me.
Buffy Summers : Are you sure? Now, this is not gonna be pretty. We're talking violence, strong language, adult content.
-
Buffy Summers : Uh, Hi! Willow, right?
Willow Rosenberg : Why? I-I mean, hi! Uh, did you want me to move?
Buffy Summers : Why don't we start with, 'Hi, I'm Buffy,' and, uh, then let's segue directly into me asking you for a favor. It doesn't involve moving, but it does involve hanging out with me for a while.
Willow Rosenberg : But aren't you hanging out with Cordelia?
Buffy Summers : I can't do both?
Willow Rosenberg : Not legally.
-
Buffy Summers : Gee, can you vague that up for me?
-
Buffy Summers : To make you a vampire, they have to suck your blood, and then you have to suck their blood. It's, like, a whole big sucking thing. Mostly they're just gonna kill you.
-
Rupert Giles : The point is, a Slayer should be able to see them anyway, without looking, without thinking. Well, can you tell me if there's a vampire in this building?
Buffy Summers : Maybe.
Rupert Giles : You should know. Even through this mass and this... din, you should be able to sense them. Well, try. Reach out with your mind. You have to hone your senses, focus until the energy washes over you, till you-you feel every particle of-of...
Buffy Summers : There's one.
Rupert Giles : W-Where?
Buffy Summers : Right there, talking to that girl.
Rupert Giles : You don't know...
Buffy Summers : Oh, please! Look at his jacket. He's got the sleeves rolled up. And the shirt? Deal with that outfit for a moment.
Rupert Giles : It's dated?
Buffy Summers : It's carbon dated. Trust me, only someone living underground for ten years would think *that* was still the look.
-
Buffy Summers : Oh, you here with someone?
Willow Rosenberg : No, I'm just here. I thought Xander was gonna show up.
Buffy Summers : Oh, are you guys going out?
Willow Rosenberg : No, we're just friends. We used to go out, but we broke up.
Buffy Summers : How come?
Willow Rosenberg : He stole my barbie.
[Buffy looks at her weirdly]
Willow Rosenberg : Oh, we were five.
-
Joyce Summers : Are you, uh, going out tonight?
Buffy Summers : Yeah, I'm going to a club.
Joyce Summers : Oh. Will there be boys there?
Buffy Summers : No, Mom, it's a nun club.
-
Buffy Summers : Hey, I know. Why don't *you* kill 'em?
Rupert Giles : I'm a Watcher, I-I haven't the skill.
Buffy Summers : Oh, come on. A stake through the heart, a little sunlight. It's like falling off a log.
Rupert Giles : A-A Slayer slays, a-a Watcher...
Buffy Summers : Watches?
Rupert Giles : Yes. No! He... He trains her. He-He-He prepares her...
Buffy Summers : Prepares me for what? For getting kicked out of school? For losing all of my friends? For having to spend all of my time fighting for my life and never getting to tell anyone because I might endanger them? Go ahead... Prepare me.
-
Cordelia Chase : It's in the bad part of town.
Buffy Summers : Where's that?
Cordelia Chase : About a half a block from the good part of town. We don't have a whole lot of town here.
-
Rupert Giles : Into each generation, a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a chosen one, one born with the...
Rupert Giles , Buffy Summers : ...strength and skill to hunt the vampires...
Buffy Summers : ...to stop the spread of their evil blah, blah, blah. I've heard it, okay?
-
Buffy Summers : Well, my philosophy... Do you wanna hear my philosophy?
Willow Rosenberg : Yeah, I do.
Buffy Summers : Life is short.
Willow Rosenberg : Life is short.
Buffy Summers : Not original, I'll grant you, but it's true. You know, why waste time being all shy and worrying about some guy and if he's gonna laugh at you? Seize the moment 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.
Willow Rosenberg : Oh, that's nice.
-
Buffy Summers : [holding an outfit up to the mirror] Hi, I'm an enormous slut!
[switching outfits]
Buffy Summers : Hello, would you like a copy of The Watchtower?
[putting them both aside]
Buffy Summers : I used to be so good at this.
-
Principal Flutie : Do you think, uh, "colorful" is the word? Not, uh, dismal?
Buffy Summers : Wasn't that bad.
Principal Flutie : You burned down the gym.
Buffy Summers : I did. I really did, but... but you're not seeing the big picture here. I mean that gym was full of vampi... Uh, asbestos.
-
Buffy Summers : I didn't say I'd never slay another vampire. It's not like I have all these fluffy bunny feelings for them. I'm just not gonna get way extracurricular with it.
-
Buffy Summers : What do you want?
Angel : The same thing you do.
Buffy Summers : Okay... what do I want?
Angel : To kill 'em. To kill 'em all.
Buffy Summers : Sorry. That's incorrect. But you do get this lovely watch and a year's supply of Turtlewax. What I *want* is to be left alone.
-
Darla : Who the hell are you?
Buffy Summers : You mean there's actually somebody in this town who doesn't know already? That's a relief. I'm tell you, having a secret identity in this town is a job of work.
-
Cordelia Chase : Well, you'll be okay here. If you hang with me and mine, you'll be accepted in no time. Of course, we do have to test your coolness factor. You're from L.A., so you can skip the written, but let's see... Vamp nail polish?
Buffy Summers : Um... over?
Cordelia Chase : So over. James Spader?
Buffy Summers : He *needs* to call me.
Cordelia Chase : Frappaccinos?
Buffy Summers : Trendy, but tasty.
Cordelia Chase : John Tesh?
Buffy Summers : The Devil.
Cordelia Chase : That was pretty much a gimme, but... you passed.
-
Rupert Giles : Dig a bit in the history of this place, and you'll find a-a-a steady stream of fairly odd occurrences. I believe this whole area is the center of mystical energy, that things gravitate towards it that-that you might not find elsewhere.
Buffy Summers : Like vampires.
Rupert Giles : Like zombies, werewolves, incubi, succubi. Everything you've ever dreaded was under your bed but told yourself couldn't be by the light of day. They're all real.
Buffy Summers : What, you, like, sent away for the Time/Life series?
Rupert Giles : Oh, w-well, yes.
Buffy Summers : D'ya get the free phone?
Rupert Giles : Um, the calendar.
-
Cordelia Chase : Some guy was stuffed in Aura's locker.
Buffy Summers : Dead?
Cordelia Chase : Totally dead. Way dead.
Xander Harris : So not just a little dead then?
-
Buffy Summers : Um, I'll be back in a minute.
Willow Rosenberg : Oh, th-that's okay. You don't have to come back.
Buffy Summers : I'll be back in a minute.
-
Buffy Summers : Mr. Flutie...
Principal Flutie : All the kids here are free to call me Bob.
Buffy Summers : Bob...
Principal Flutie : But they don't.
-
Buffy Summers : [to Giles] 'Cause it's the weirdest thing. He's got two little-little holes in his neck and all his blood's been drained... Isn't that bizarre? Aren't you just going, "Ooooh"?
-
Buffy Summers : [to Thomas] Okay, first of all, what's with the outfit? Live in the now, okay? You look like DeBarge.
-
Buffy Summers : It's my first day. I was afraid that I was gonna be behind on all my classes, that I wouldn't make any friends, that I would have last month's hair. I didn't think there'd be vampires on campus.
-
Rupert Giles : The vampire is not dead?
Buffy Summers : No, but my social life is on the critical list.
-
Angel : Is there a problem, ma'am?
Buffy Summers : Yeah, there's a problem. Why are you following me?
Angel : I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. I don't bite.
-
Buffy Summers : So, you like to party with the students? Isn't that kind of skanky?
Rupert Giles : [witheringly] Uh, right. This is me having fun. Watching clown hair prance about is hardly my idea of a party. I'd much rather be at home with a cup of Bovril and a good book.
Buffy Summers : You need a personality, stat!
-
Xander Harris : Well, uh, maybe I'll see you around. Maybe at school... since we... both... go there.
Buffy Summers : Great! It was nice to meet you.
[leaves]
Xander Harris : [to himself] We both go to school. Very suave. Very not pathetic.
[noticing something on the floor]
Xander Harris : Oh. Hey! Hey, you forgot your... stake.
