- Andrew Wells: I-I bet even covert operatives eat curly fries. They're really good.
- Spike: Not as good as those onion blossom things.
- Andrew Wells: Ooh, I love those.
- Spike: Yeah, me too.
- Andrew Wells: It's an onion and it's a flower. I-I don't understand how such a thing is possible.
- Spike: Oh, see, the genius of it is, you soak it in ice water for an hour so it holds its shape. Then you deep-fry it, root-side up, for about five minutes.
- Andrew Wells: Masterful.
- Spike: Yeah. Tell anyone we had this conversation, I'll bite you.
- Andrew Wells: Right.
- Willow Rosenberg: So, I guess you're stuck with me then, huh? Let's order some cherry-flavoured, off-brand gelatin, and then I think we'll be up for a rousing game of...
- Xander Harris: I might need a parrot.
- Willow Rosenberg: Huh?
- Xander Harris: Well to go with the eye patch. To really complete the look. I think I still have that costume from Halloween.
- Willow Rosenberg: Yeah, and don't underestimate the impact of a peg leg. Maybe the hospital can hook you up with a nice one. Maybe they have a two-body-parts-for-the-price-of-one kind of deal.
- Xander Harris: Oh, you know what the best part is? No one will *ever* make me watch "Jaws 3-D" again.
- Willow Rosenberg: Yeah, and... you'll never have to...
- Xander Harris: Oh, Willow... please don't.
- Kennedy: We didn't have time to do more. You have to pretend there's a big party here.
- Xander Harris: That's fine. Parties in this house, I usually end up having to rebuild something.
- [after Buffy has left the house]
- Rona: Ding-dong, the witch is dead.
- Dawn Summers: [angrily] Shut your mouth.
- [when Caleb threatens to poke out Xander's other eye]
- Buffy Summers: Go near Xander again, and I will end you!
- Anya: You really do think you're better than we are.
- Buffy Summers: No, I...
- Anya: But we don't know. We don't know if you're *actually* better. I mean, you came into the world with certain advantages, sure. I mean, that's the legacy.
- Buffy Summers: I...
- Anya: But you didn't earn it. You didn't work for it. You've never had anybody come up to you and say that you deserve these things more than anyone else. They were just handed to you. So that doesn't make you *better* than us. It makes you *luckier* than us.
- [last lines]
- Buffy Summers: [to Faith] Don't be afraid to lead them. Whether you wanted it or not, their lives are yours. It's only gonna get harder. Protect them. But lead them.
- Buffy Summers: What abut you? You just going for a quick spin to 7-Eleven... in Nebraska?
- Clem: It's gettin' *bad* here, really bad. Hellmouth acting up again. People feeling it, getting crazier. You can't swing a cat without hitting some kind of demonic activity. Not that I swing cats, or eat. Nope. Cutting way back. Cholesterol- Morals! I mean morals.
- Buffy Summers: Right.
- Clem: We've seen some bad stuff in this town before, but, you know, this time, it's like it just seems different, more powerful. I don't think anyone's gonna be able to stop it. I mean, I'm sure you'll do fine. Complete confidence in you.
- [laughs]
- Clem: Uh, if anyone can do it, you can, because you rock! If you save the world, I'll come back. We'll have drinks. When. When, I mean. When you save the world. It's gonna be great with all the rocking... Maybe... Maybe you should just get out of town this time.
- Buffy Summers: Yeah. I probably should.
- Clem: You take care of yourself, okay?
- [first lines]
- [Buffy meeting Clem who is in a traffic jam with everyone leaving town]
- Clem: Hey you.
- Buffy Summers: Hey.
- Clem: Do you believe this meshugaas?
- Buffy Summers: Yeah. You'd think these people had never seen an apocalypse before.
- Rupert Giles: Buffy... are you hurt?
- Buffy Summers: Oh. Caleb came back looking for seconds.
- Rupert Giles: My God, is he-he...
- Buffy Summers: Still able to make me see cartoon birdies all around my head? You betcha. The short lack of consciousness was nice. I feel rested.
