GILES: Ms. Calendar, I'm sure your computer science class is fascinating, but I happen to believe that one can survive in modern society without being a slave to the, um, idiot box.
MS. CALENDAR: That's TV. The idiot box is TV. This (indicates a computer) is the good box!
GILES: I still prefer a good book.
FRITZ: The printed page is obsolete. Information isn't bound up anymore. It's an entity. The only reality is virtual. If you're not jacked in, you're not alive.
MS. CALENDAR: Thank you, Fritz, for making us all sound like crazy people.

Buffy: We should be safe in here for a while. You need to find a weapon.
Cordelia: Safe? I'm not safe. I'm gonna die!
Buffy: Yeah, you are if you just stand there.
Cordelia: I'm never gonna be crowned Homecoming Queen. I'm never gonna graduate from high school. I'm never gonna know if it's real between me and Xander, or if it's just... (sobs) some temporary insanity that made me think... (sobs) I loved him. (sobs) And now I'm never gonna get the chance to tell him.
Buffy: Yes, you are. We are gonna get out of here, and we are gonna head back to the library, where Giles and the rest of the weapons live. Then I'm gonna take out the rest of these guys just in time for you to congratulate me on my *sweeping* victory as Homecoming Queen. Cordelia: I know what you're up to. (Buffy turns back to face her) You think if you get me mad enough, I won't be so scared. And, hey! It's working! Where's a damn weapon?
