CORDELIA: Time out, Xander. Put yourself in Buffy's shoes for just a minute. Okay? I'm Buffy, freak of nature, right? Naturally I pick a freak for a boyfriend, and then he turns into Mr. kill Spree, which is pretty much my fault--
BUFFY: (interrupts) Cordy! Get outta my shoes!

I’ve often been wondering lately if part of the reason for Angelus’ name change from Angelus to Angel when he goes from evil to good is partly inspired by the Bible by oveliagirlhaditright
There was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer tie-in novel (I think it was “Return to Chaos”, maybe?) where Joyce was having prophetic dreams in that, herself by oveliagirlhaditright

Xander: Red alert! Where's Buffy?
Giles: Uh, she, she just stepped out. Her, her father came by early. He, he needed to talk to her. W... where are your other clothes?
Xander: Oh, don't I wish I had the answer to *that* question. Willow: Xander kinda found himself in front of our class not wearing much of anything.
Xander: Except my underwear.
Willow: (laughs) Yeah! It was really... (looks at Xander) ...bad. It was a bad thing.
Xander: 'Bad thing'? I was naked. 'Bad thing' doesn't cover it.
Willow: Everyone staring? I would hate to have everyone paying attention to me like that. Xander: With nudity! It's a total nightmare.
Willow: (realizes) Well, yeah Xander! I-it's your nightmare!
