"What an ordeal. And you know the worst part? It stays with you forever. No matter what they tell you, none of that rust and blood and grime comes out. You can dry-clean till judgment day. You're living with those stains."
-- Cordelia, Ep: When She Was Bad
"So Dawn's in trouble. It must be Tuesday."
-- Buffy, Ep: Once More With Feeling
Angel: "I thought we had . . . you know."
Buffy: "A date? So did I. But who am I kidding? Dates are things normal girls have. Girls who have time to think about nail polish and facials and stuff. You know what I think about? Ambush tactics. Beheading. Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of."
Ep: Halloween
"I've seen some of these underworld child-bride deals -- and they never end well. Maybe once." -- Anya, Ep: Once More, With Feeling

Buffy: "You ready?"
Xander: "Let's rock and roll."
Spike: "'Let's rock and roll'? You actually talk like that?"
Ep: Doomed
Buffy: I invited you into my home and you attacked my family. Why?
Angel: Why not? I killed mine. I killed their friends. And their friends' children. For a hundred years I offered an ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart.
Ep: Angel
Anya: "'I, Anya, promise to ... love you, to cherish you, ...to honor you, uh, but not to obey you, of course, because that's anachronistic and misogynistic and who do you think you are, like a sea captain or something? However, I do entrust you with...' What? Is something funny?"
Tara: "No, nothing, sweetie, just, just keep still."
Anya: "Okay. 'Blah, blah, blah, misogynistic. Blah, blah, I do however entrust you ... um, with my heart. Take care of my heart, won't you please? Take care of it because, it's all that I have. And, if you let me, I'll take care of your heart too. I'll protect it and tend to it, like a little stray.' Wait, no. 'Like a, a little mangy stray that needs a home.' No, that's not it either."
Tara: "Um... I think we're all set here. Let's ... take a look at you. Oh."
Willow: "Wow. You look lovely. Really... lovely."
Anya: "Thanks. It's probably the blush of imprudent spending. Do you think Xander will like it? Oh, I want to see Xander now!"
Willow: "You can't. It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her dress, remember?"
Anya: "Right. I can't keep all these ridiculous traditions straight. What if I'm not wearing my dress when I see him? Okay, no sex. Cuddling? Okay. It's just I'm so excited and I want to share it all with my best friend. (excited) I get to be with my best friend forever! Yay!"
Ep: Hell's Bells
Oops, sorry that I've been lax on this! Thanks, anon, for the reminder.

-- Xander, Ep: Prophecy Girl
"Dawn, listen to me, listen. I love you. I will always love you. But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles… tell Giles I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world… is to live in it. Be brave. Live… for me. "
- Buffy to Dawn, Ep: The Gift
"The hardest thing in this world is to live in it."
-- Dawn, to Buffy, Ep: Once More, With Feeling
"Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years just hanging out, feeling guilty. I really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along..."

"When someone falls for Willow, they stay fallen."
-- Buffy, Ep: Normal Again
Xander: "Oh, okay. You and Willow go do the superpower thing. I'll stay behind and putter around the batcave with crusty old Alfred here."
