• [last lines] 

  Buffy Summers : Ta-dah! Just little old 20th-century me.

  Angel : Sure you're okay?

  Buffy Summers : I'll live.

  Angel : I don't get it, Buffy. Why'd you think I'd like you better dressed that way?

  Buffy Summers : I just wanted to be a real girl for once. The kind of fancy girl you liked when you were my age.

  Angel : Oh...

  Buffy Summers : "Oh" what?

  Angel : I hated the girls back then. Especially the noble women.

  Buffy Summers : You did?

  Angel : They were just incredibly dull. Simpering morons, the lot of them. I always wished I could meet someone... exciting... Interesting.

  Buffy Summers : Really? Interesting... how?

  Angel : You know how.

  Buffy Summers : Still, I had a really hard day, and you should probably tell me.

  Angel : You're right. I should.

  Buffy Summers : Definitely.

• [Xander stalks off after Buffy stopped a fight with Larry] 

  Buffy Summers : Oh! I think I just violated the guy code, big time.

  Willow Rosenberg : Poor Xander. Boys are so fragile... Speaking of, how was your date last night?

  Buffy Summers : Misfire. I was late due to unscheduled slayage. Showed up looking trashed.

  Willow Rosenberg : Was he mad?

  Buffy Summers : Actually, he was pretty unmad. Which probably had something to do with the fact that Cordelia was drooling in his cappuccino.

  Willow Rosenberg : Ah, Buffy. Angel would never fall for her act.

  Buffy Summers : You mean that "actually showing up wearing a stunning outfit, embracing personal hygiene" act?

  Willow Rosenberg : You know what I mean. Uh, she's not his type.

  Buffy Summers : Are you sure? I mean, I don't know what his type is. I've known him less than a year, and if you haven't noticed, he's not exactly one to over share.

  Willow Rosenberg : True. It's too bad we can't sneak a look at the Watcher Diaries and read up on Angel. I'm sure it's full of fun facts to know and tell.

  Buffy Summers : Yeah... It's too bad. That stuff is private.

  Willow Rosenberg : Also, Giles keeps them in his office. In his personal files.

  Buffy Summers : Most importantly, it would be wrong.

• [after the spell has been broken] 

  Buffy Summers : Hi, honey, I'm home.

  [beats up Spike] 

  Buffy Summers : You know what? It's good to be me.

• [entering the bathroom where Buffy and Willow are talking] 

  Cordelia Chase : So, Buffy, you ran off last night and left poor little Angel all by his lonesome. But I did everything I could to comfort him.

  Buffy Summers : I'll bet.

  Cordelia Chase : So, what's his story anyway? I mean, I never see him around.

  Willow Rosenberg : Not during the day, anyway.

  Cordelia Chase : Oh, please! Don't tell me he still lives at home. Like, he has to wait for his dad to get back before he can take the car?

  Buffy Summers : Cordelia, I think his parents have been dead for a couple of hundred years.

  Cordelia Chase : Oh, good. I mean... What?

  Buffy Summers : Angel's a vampire... I thought you knew.

  Cordelia Chase : Oh. He's a vampire. Of course! But the cuddly kind. Like a Care Bear with fangs?

  Willow Rosenberg : It's true.

  Cordelia Chase : You know what I think? I just think you're trying to scare me off 'cause you're afraid of the competition. Look, Buffy, you may be hot stuff when it comes to demonology or whatever, but when it comes to dating, *I'm* the Slayer.

• Xander Harris : She must be right. We must have some kind of amnesia.

  Buffy Summers : I don't know what that is, but I'm certain I don't have it. I bathe quite often!

  Xander Harris : How do you explain this?

  Buffy Summers : I don't! I was brought up a proper lady. I-I wasn't meant to understand things. I'm just meant to look pretty, and then someone nice will marry me. Possibly a Baron.

  Xander Harris : This ain't no tea party, princess. Sooner or later you're gonna have to fight.

  Buffy Summers : Fight these low creatures? I'd sooner die.

• Buffy Summers : [Buffy, spelled to think she is an 18th century woman, sees this thing with the headlights coming on]  A demon! A demon! A demon!

  Willow Rosenberg : It's not a demon. It's a car.

  Buffy Summers : What does it want?

  Xander Harris : [spelled to be a soldier]  Is this woman insane?

  Willow Rosenberg : She's never seen a car.

  Xander Harris : She's never seen a car?

  Willow Rosenberg : She's from the past.

  Xander Harris : And you're a ghost?

  Willow Rosenberg : Yes! Now let's get inside.

  Xander Harris : [grimly]  Just want you to know that I'm taking a lot on faith here.

• Buffy Summers : You're missing the whole point of Halloween.

  Willow Rosenberg : Free candy?

  Buffy Summers : It's "come as you aren't" night. The perfect chance for a girl to get sexy and wild with no repercussions.

  Willow Rosenberg : Oh, I don't get wild. Wild on me equals "spaz."

• [as they change for trick-or-treating] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Where are you meeting Angel?

  Buffy Summers : Here, after trick-or-treating. Mom's gonna be out.

  Willow Rosenberg : Does he know about your costume?

  Buffy Summers : Nope! Call it a blast from his past. I'll show him I can coiffe with the best of 'em... Okay, Willow. Come out. You can't hide in there all night.

  Willow Rosenberg : O-Okay. But-But promise you won't laugh?

  Buffy Summers : I promise.

  [Willow enters from the bathroom in boots, black mini-skirt and a burgundy halter top] 

  Buffy Summers : Wow! You're a dish! I mean, really.

• Buffy Summers : [looking at a picture]  This... This could be me.

  Willow Rosenberg : It is you. Buffy, can't you remember at all?

  Buffy Summers : No! I, I don't understand any of this! Uh, uh, th... This is some other girl. I would never wear this, that low apparel, and I don't like this place, and I don't like you, and I just wanna go home!

  Willow Rosenberg : You *are* home.

• Willow Rosenberg : Okay. You guys stay here while I get some help. If something tries to get in, just fight it off.

  Buffy Summers : Well, i-it's not our place to fight. Uh, surely some men will protect us.

  Cordelia Chase : What's that riff?

  Willow Rosenberg : I-It's like amnesia, okay? They don't know who they are.

• [regaring their trick-or treat assignment] 

  Xander Harris : I can't believe this. We have to get dressed up and the whole deal?

  Willow Rosenberg : Snyder said costumes were mandatory.

  Buffy Summers : Great. I was gonna stay in and veg. The one night a year things are supposed to be quiet for me.

  Xander Harris : Halloween quiet? Why, I figured it'd be a big old vamp scare-a-palooza.

• Angel : I thought we had...

  Buffy Summers : 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. You know what I think about? Ambush tactics. Beheading... Not exactly the stuff dreams are made of.

• Cordelia Chase : [to uncharacteristically frightened Buffy]  What's your deal? Take a pill!

  Buffy Summers : [re Angel]  He's... he's a vampire...!

  Cordelia Chase : [to Angel]  She's got this thing where she thinks...

  [shakes her head] 

  Cordelia Chase : Forget it.

  [turns back towards Buffy:] 

  Cordelia Chase : It's okay. Angel is a good vampire. He would *never* hurt you.

  Buffy Summers : [childishly insecure]  Really?

  Cordelia Chase : Absolutely. He's our friend.

• Buffy Summers : [back to normal]  Tah-dah! It's just little ol' 20th century me!

• Buffy Summers : It must have been wonderful... to put on some fantabulous gown and go to a ball like a princess... and have horses and servants and yet more gowns.

• [seeing Principal Snyder pulling kids aside to have them 'volunteer' to chaperone young trick-or-treaters] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Snyder must be in charge of the volunteer safety program for Halloween this year.

  Xander Harris : Note his interesting take on the volunteer concept.

  Buffy Summers : What's the deal?

  Xander Harris : Oh, a bunch of little kids need people to take them trick-or-treating. Sign up and get your own pack of sugar-hyped little runts for the night.

  Buffy Summers : Yikes! I'll stick to vampires.
