Buffy: He's not any guy. He's more... Oweny.
Xander: Sure, he's got a certain Owenosity, but that's not hard to find. I mean, a lotta guys read. (with a goofy smile) I can read.

BUFFY: Remember that. Not a being in here wouldn't be glad to rip your throat out.
CLEM: Buffy? Girl, how ya been?
BUFFY: Clem! (gets a good look at him) You look great, so toned. (they hug) ...
CLEM: Oh, my God! It is so good to see you! I saw this great show on the History Channel the other night that I knew you would love, and then something went all flooey with my TiVo.
BUFFY: You know what? Can I talk to you for a second over here? (Buffy and Clem step away and Buffy whispers something in Clem's ear.)
KENNEDY: (under her breath, to Rona) You think she dated him too?

~~Potential~~
