GILES: I'm just a bit twitchy about leaving you alone again here while—while things are in such a state of flux.
BUFFY: I know. But you should go. This trip is important for the girls to understand the source of their power, and to know how to use it right.
GILES: Do you think they appreciate the gravity of what we're undertaking? It's frightening, and it's difficult. And then, apparently, someone told them that the vision quest consists of me driving them to the desert, doing the hokey pokey until a spooky Rasta-mama slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles.
BUFFY: That's not exactly how I put it.

Xander: So how come Faith was a no-show? I thought mucus-y demons were her favorites.
Buffy: Couldn't reach her... again. She hasn't been hanging out much.
Xander: I detect worry.
Buffy: A little bit. Slaying's a rough gig. Too much alone time isn't healthy. Stuff gets pent up.
Willow: We should try to do more socializing with her.

DAWN: When I was younger, I used to put my chopsticks in my mouth like this, and then Buffy would chase me around the house yelling, 'I'm the slayer, I'm going to get you!'
ANYA: That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.
DAWN: No, it was great. I mean, she didn't actually stake me in the heart, you know.
XANDER: Buffy's pretty cool like that.

GUNN: Fred—
FRED: I know. Whatever Wes was feeling, whatever he thought might… I should have told him it was never going to happen. You think I don’t know that? GUNN: That’s not what I was going to say.
FRED: But it’s what you think. Isn’t it? (beat) I’m sorry.
GUNN: It’s not about that anymore. You know that.

Cordelia: Why didn't you tell me that you were half demon? I thought we agreed that secrets are bad!
Doyle: I wanted to tell you. I was afraid. I thought if I did, you'd reject me.
Cordelia: I've rejected you way before now! So, you're half demon. Big Whoop! I can't believe you'd think I'd care about that. I mean, I work for a vampire! Hello?
Doyle: It's true. I just...
Cordelia: What do you think I am, superficial? - So, you're half demon. That's so far down the list, way under 'short' and 'poor'! - Is there anything else I should know?
Doyle: The half demons thing is pretty much my big secret.
Cordelia: Good. That's out. It's done. - Would you ask me out to dinner already?

Willow: (appalled) It's horrible! That's me as a vampire? (Angel closes the door) I'm so evil and... skanky. (aside to Buffy, worried) And I think I'm kinda gay.
Buffy: (reassuringly) Willow, just remember, a vampire's personality has nothing to do with the person it was.
Angel: (without thinking) Well, actually... (gets a look from Buffy) That's a good point.

SPIKE: Hey, when do I get fed?
BUFFY: Later. I hope the others are ok.
SPIKE: You know what happens to vampires who don't get to feed?
BUFFY: I always wondered that. Giles, plates.
SPIKE: Living skeletons, mate. Like famine pictures from those dusty countries, only not half as funny.
BUFFY: You can have gravy. That has blood in it, right?

MS. KROGER: Oh, so you live with another woman.
BUFFY: Oh! Oh, it's not a, a gay thing, you know, I mean, well...
Ms. Kroger picks up a plastic baggie containing some herbs.
BUFFY: ...she's gay, but, but we don't ... gay. Not that there's anything - (notices Ms. Kroger looking at the herb) Oh! Wrong with... (rushes over) You know, I know what that looks like, but I, I swear, it's not ... what it looks like. (Ms. Kroger looking shocked) It's *magic* weed.
Buffy grabs the plastic bag from Ms. Kroger and tosses it back in the box.
BUFFY: It's not mine.

BUFFY: Looks good, doesn't it? They're trapped in here. Terrified. Meat for the beast, and there's nothing they can do but wait. That's all they've been doing for days. Waiting to be picked off. Having nightmares about monsters that can't be killed. But I don't believe in that. I always find a way. I'm the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now, you and me are gonna show 'em why. It's time. Welcome to Thunderdome.
