Favorite Buffy Lines

topic posted Wed, October 25, 2006 - 7:24 PM by  Hana
One of my more recent favorites occurs in season 7 when Spikes chip is going all wonky, he's sitting on his cot near Buffy and she's talking about getting him some help, the rest occurs as follows...

Spike-Who you gonna call?

(awkward pause)

Spike- That line's never going to be usable again is it?

    Buffy: "Dawn's in trouble? It must be Tuesday."

    I love when shows are self-aware, but only for a moment.

      "Somers, you drive like a spazz!!!" from halloween

      And "When you kiss me, I wanna die" from season 2 somewhere when Buffy and Angel are trying to decide to keep dating or not.

      zillions others.

        Xander: All right, where is he? Where's the creep who turned me into a spider-eating man-bitch?

        Buffy: He's gone.

        Xander: Dammit. You know what? I'm sick of this. I'm tired of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm through being everybody's butt-monkey.


        So many great lines so little time to type them all out at work....

            That part when Xander's having the dream that the potentials are all coming on to him, and then the door swings open and they're all having a pillowfight in the next room in their underwear... oh, man, that's hilarious, I laughed until I couldn't breathe, and then he says something like, "Uh, gimme a minute, my, uh, leg has a, um, cramp..." and I just lost it.

              "Now ask me again why I could never love you!"
              Or that's the best I can remember it.

                Season 7, when Dawn goes skanky over a boy because of his enchanted letter jacket:

                Willow becomes enchanted too, and Xander tries to bring some sense to her.

                "It's not about his physical presence," Willow says.

                "His physical presence HAS A PENIS!!!!" Xander says. perfect!!! :-)

    One of my favorite exchanges is the one between Buffy and Clem when Clem is leaving town during the final apocalypse. The whole thing is really funny, but the best line is when Clem explains why he's cutting back on his kitten eating:

    "Cholesterol -- morals. I mean morals."

    Oh yes and

    Giles: "Do you like my mask? Isn't it *pretty*? It raises the dead! AMERICANS!"

    and from the same episode

    Xander: "When scary things act scared-not good!"

      The First/Warren: The trio (claps his hands and points)... livin' as gods.
      Andrew gazes up and daydreams of himself, Warren, and Jonathan in togas, dancing, playing various ancient instruments, and singing, melodiously, "Weheee are gods, all, weeee are gods... we are gods... we... are... as... gods!"

      That just killed me, especially the part right after when Willow says to him, "Wait a second, go back, what was that part again?..." and he says, "You mean this part?" and then "We are as gods!" ... "Not that part!"

    Weight of the World, when only Spike can remember about Glory/Ben:

    Spike: "Is everyone here very stoned?"

    And of course Xander's "To read makes our speaking English good." from I Robot, You Jane.

    Has me rolling every time!

    Spike has my favorite lines.

    "it's just tough guy talk" when talking with Buffy about why he wants to help her defeat Angellus & prevent an apocalypse.

    "I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it" while talking with Angel & Buffy with respect to Drusilla & confronting them about being "friends" in season 3.

    "you mean all fangy & grrr" when talking to Willow about his "impotence" due to the chip in his brain during season 4.

    There's more. But I'll give others a chance.

      Definately the "Living As Gods" part. That cracks me up too. Then the part where Giles wants coffee and Xander is all "Don't you mean tea?" Giles goes "Tea is soothing, I wish to be tense." Um...most anything Cordy says in any of the Angel seasons. One that comes to mind is when Penn is facing Angel off in the office and Angel tells her to get a stake. She replies "It's like 8 in the morning." thinking that he meant steak. Those were all funny. The most moving or serious scenes would have to be: Xander telling Dawn the 7 year speech. It almost makes me cry. Buffy's voice over at the end of season 5 telling Dawn to live in the world. The entire episode of Joyce's death. There are so many I can't name them all...

        "I wear the cheese, the cheese does not wear me" - Cheese Man from "Restless"

        And from Pangs...Spike's Monologue

        "You won. All right? You came in and you killed them and you took their land. That's what conquering nations do. It's what Caesar did, and he's not going around saying, "I came, I conquered, I felt really bad about it." The history of the world is not people making friends. You had better weapons, and you massacred them. End of story."

        and....

    How is it that nobody's mentioned the flashback where Faith fights Spock in an old Star Trek set? Priceless.

    Faith. "Thank god we're hot chicks with superpowers."
    Buffy. "Kind of takes the edge off."

    Spike. "What's wrong Watcher, did your life pass before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?"

    Spike. "Well, not exactly the St. Crispin's Day Speech, was it".
    Giles. "We few, we happy few."
    Spike. "We band of buggered."

    Andrew. "You go through the door, and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator."

    Oh, and one of my favorites:

    Buffy. "You're Watchers. Without a Slayer, you're pretty much watchin' Masterpiece Theater."

    God. There are so many. The commentary too -- like Joss and Seth joking about Oz being a time-travelling werewolf who solves crimes in the episode where Oz leaves, or Joss talking about the dilemma in the final episode of getting Buffy and her two major loves onscreen in the same episode without making her look like "the Slut Queen of Slutdonia."

    OK - I just read through this whole thread! It's great! Anya, of course, had the best lines - followed by Spike. But really the best line of the whole damed show, as everyone knows, was:

    "Buffy Anne Summers
    1981 - 2001
    Beloved Sister
    Devoted Friend
    She Saved The World
    A Lot"

      (To Willow, just before starting a ritual): "This isn't gonna get all sexy is it?"

      "I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans."

      Xander: I think we're gonna get through this. I think I'm gonna live a long... and silly life, and I'm not interested in doing that without you around.
      Anya: Oh. Okay.
      Xander: Okay?
      Anya: Yes. I mean, yes. No.
      Xander: No?
      Anya: After. Give it to me when the world doesn't end.

      Xander: But let's not try to forget, we're also your friends.
      Anya: I'm not.
      Buffy: Then why are you here? Aside from getting rescued, what is it that you do?
      Anya: I provide much needed... sarcasm.

      (Anya to Zander): "I think it's the secret to getting you out of my mind. Putting you behind me. Behind me figuratively. I'm thinking face to face for the actual event itself. "

      Buffy: It claimed to be the original evil, the one that came before anything else.
      Anya: Please, how many times have I heard that line in my demon days? "I'm so rotten, they don't even have a word for it. I'm bad. Baddy bad bad bad. Does it make you horny?"

      Xander: How could you say I'm using you?
      Anya: You don't care about what I think, you don't ask about my day.
      Xander: You really did turn into a real girl, didn't you?
      Anya: See? You make jokes during my pain.

      "This isn't a relationship. You don't need me. All you care about is lots of orgasms. "

      "I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope."

      "Don't you watch television? I thought all children despise effort and enjoy cartoons."

      "So this is Angel. He's large and glowery, isn't he?"

      "Discovery Channel has monkeys. And our tape machine's all wonky."

      "Will you still make me waffles when we're married? "

      [Anya practices her wedding vows]
      Anya: I, Anya, promise to cherish you... Ew, no, not cherish. Uh, I promise to have sex with you whenever... *I* want, and, uh...
      [walking down off the platform]
      Anya: uh, pledge to be your friend, and your wife, and your confidant, and your sex poodle...
      Tara: Uh, sex poodle?
      Anya: Yeah, why?
      Tara: Um, I'm not sure you should say 'sex poodle' in your vows.

      " One more verse of our little ditty and I would have been looking for a gas can. "

      "You know who else aren't American? French people."

      "Oh. Oh. I know what this is, this is peer pressure. Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and have drugs."

      "Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes. They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway? Bunnies. Bunnies. It must be bunnies. Or maybe midgets. "

      "Okay. For the last time. 'I, Anya, want to marry you, Xander, because... I love you and I'll always love you. And... before I knew you, I was like a completely different person. Not even a person, really... and I had seen what love could do to people, and it was... hurt and sadness. Alone was better. And then, suddenly there was you, and... you knew me. You saw me, and it was this... thing. You make me feel safe and warm. So, I get it now. I finally get love, Xander. I really do."

      Anya: Come on, let's go assemble the cannon fodder.
      Xander: That's not what we're calling them, sweetie.
      Anya: Not to their faces. What, am I insensitive?

      Xander: What do you feel?
      Anya: Upset, afraid of being without you, and a little hungry.
      Xander: I meant about the house.
      Anya: Oh, still haunted.

      Andrew: I just want to say how proud I am to die for this very special cause with you guys. There's some, um-there's people I'd like to thank, both good and evil. Um, a shout out to my brother Tucker, who gave me the inspiration to summon demons and also...
      Anya: Nobody cares, you little monkey.

      [about Thanksgiving]
      Anya: I love a ritual sacrifice.
      Buffy: It's not really one of those.
      Anya: To commemorate a past event you kill and eat an animal. A ritual sacrifice... with pie.

      Xander: It happens that I'm good at a lot of things. I help out with all kinds of... stuff. I have skills and... stratagems... I'm very... help me out.
      Anya: He's a Viking in the sack.

      Willow: When did you get all insightful?
      Anya: I'm surprisingly sensitive.
      Willow: So, will you help me?
      Anya: Is it difficult or time-consuming?

      Anya: Well, causing pain sounds really cool, I know, but... it turns out it's... really upsetting. Didn't used to be. But now it is.
      Willow: Is it like you're scared of losing that feeling again, and having it be okay to hurt people, and then you're not in charge of the power anymore, because it's in charge of you?
      Anya: Wow. That was... really over-dramatically stated, but yeah, that's it.

      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: [about the hospital] Man, words cannot express how much I hate this place.
      Giles: It's dreadful.
      Anya: It's like communism.

      "We're all on death's door repeatedly ringing the doorbell, like maniacal girl scouts trying to make quota."

      "Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat."

      "Here's something you should know about vengeance demons. We don't groove with the sorry. We prefer, 'Oh god! Please stop hitting me with my own rib bones!'"

      Willow: Wait, Spike's what in the what-ment?
      Anya: Insane. Base.

      (To Willow, after the ritual): "It did get a little sexy, didn't it?"

          >> DravenGal: LOL, Curt, is there a Anya/Xander line in there you didn't quote? <<

          Surprisingly enough I did leave out several that just weren't quite hilarious enough to make the cut. Pretty much anytime that Anya opens her mouth it is to fullfill her role of "providing much needed ..... sarcasm." I really don't like Xander and I wasn't especially happy with the whole Xander/Anya arc - but it did generate some great lines!

          Here's two more:

          "We'll die together. It's romantic. Let me get your trousers off."

          Anya: "You know, you can laugh, but I have witnessed a millennium of treachery and oppression from the males of the species, and I have nothing but contempt for the whole libidinous lot of them."
          Xander: "Then why are you talking to me?"
          Anya: "I don't have a date for the prom."

    Still watching and re-watching:

    Randomly:

    "It eats you starting with your bottom!"

    "Do you know where I can get some nachos, little tree?"

    And from Life Serial:

    "Ah! Got visual of subject, four o'clock."
    "That's not four o'clock."
    "Well, it is if you're facing the front of the van."
    "But we're not facing the front of the van, we're facing out that way. (gestures) That's twelve, so she's at two o'clock."
    "Look, she's over there, okay?"
    "Okay."

    "Yes. And then I'm going to marry Bob Dole and raise penguins in Guam."

    "Ya like slug? (tosses it to him without slowing down) Go with slug. She's not gonna sleep with you anyway."

    Plus, the Trio's whole exchange about Sean Connery/Roger Moore/Timothy Dalton. I'm giggling as I type.

    "Timothy Dalton should get an Oscar and (yells) beat Sean Connery over the head with it!"

      The best lines in that episode, for my money, are:

      "Don't touch my magic bone!"

      and

      "Quick, grab your magic bone!"

      But it's because of how the Trio reacts when they say it.
